Ive been reading this magazine since2009. Read my first issue at dentist office. Peaked my intrest because of a shipping container home picture. Subscribed and wait for every issue. I like the title of each issue to encourage me with a big thought. Im a stroke survivor.Im interested in down sizing again. I was a contractor for 20yrs before stroke. Worked in construction the30 yrs before that. Every issue gives me a little inspiration to continue on.Dream big is the latest encouragement.

I subscribed to dwell, both print and electronic, via their website. I expected to mostly read the magazine on my iPad. However, I cannot log in to my account on the app. Therefore I cannot view the magazine on my iPad. I have initiated help requests 3 times, and all three times have gotten the same canned response from “Vikas Kadam” telling me to enter my subscriber info (account number, account number&ZIP, mailing address). But nowhere in the app is there the option to enter this info. When I pointed this out to “Vikas” I was asked for my email address. And then ghosted.Clearly the app is a scam and not an actual working app. Dwell knows this, but sells subscriptions that include “all-platform” access anyway.Cancelling my subscription and asking for a refund and deleting the app.

I’m rating this two stars in case you want to buy old Dwell magazines.But if you already have a Dwell magazine subscription, or Dwell+ website subscription, know that this app not part of those products. You cannot login with your website credentials, and will be asked to pay again for the same content.If all you want is dwell in an app, then this could be a great product for you. Just know that it’s not part of the print or web subscriptions.

Something is seriously wrong with this app, one cannot login with the exact same login that I use on my web browser to see dwell+ articles, I'm also a physical magazine subscriber.So the app is useless and apparently does not have the proper support to fix it, complaints have been ongoing here for sometime and it's not addresses. It's interesting because the new ceo of dwell magazine wants to move away from the physical magazine and push for electronic content - thus why dwell+ was created (don't get me started on how that was unfair to existing physical magazine subscribers), so one would think that the "dwell app" would work.
