Southern Living Magazine App Reviews

This is my favorite magazine! However, after my most recent auto-renewal, I no longer had access to my digital editions. I was upset! I see other subscribers have also had this problem. I called customer service, and I discovered that, unbeknownst to us, not all subscriptions still include the digital subscription with the print edition now (yes, publishers have learned that there is no such thing as a free lunch). Anyhow, I called, and the nice lady enlightened me on the issue. I now have both. When my time comes to auto-renew, however, I will have to call again and make sure that my subscription includes both. A pain in the butt, yet as an economics teacher who used to work in advertising, I understand the reasoning behind it. Print media is expensive and becoming less preferred by the masses. Yet they still have to generate revenue. It is what it is.

Love the magazine but not this app. Not sure what has happened but I cant download any issues any more or retrieve previous issues.

App has gotten very erratic. Jumping to different pages and zooming in and out of its own accord. Cant control it. Worked fine until I downloaded the 50th anniversary issue. Please fix. I love this magazine.

Ive been a Southern Living subscriber for over 25 years, and Im expected to pay $4.99 to access issues? I used to love this app. Please fix.

I have a digital only subscription but cannot download the most recent 50th anniversary issue. Have had no issues until now. Contacted Southern Living but they emailed back that they could not help me. I needed to contact Apple. Please work on this app.

App is the worst. Have subscription but cannot download digital magazines. Tried at least 25 times. Log in and out still doesnt work. REALLY. You cant fix this!!!

I love the magazine but the app suddenly stopped working.

The pages turn like the paper magazine, and the photos are beautiful. But I dont know how to bookmark things for future reference. Hopefully I can print out the BB + B coupon.

My only regret is I recently discovered it! This app is quick, easy to scan when looking for a recipe, and preforms without the frequent bugs of many other magazines... I am most pleased!

I was informed via email from customer service that my digital version had been "upgraded" but I still cannot view the digital issues. Please fix the app!

like others have reported, app gets amnesia on digital subscription.. SL customer support reset/ fixed this before, but now bug has reappeared.. please fix this !!!!!!!!!!

For whatever reason, I can not open the current issue, April 2016. My subscription is current . This is very annoying! January just stayed there after I hit open in the App Store for Aprils issue.

I have a hard copy subscription of Southern Living and attempting to get the digital version on my iPad proved futile. The Southern Living app first tries to lead me into renewing my current subscription which is still good for more than 18 months. I finally create an account and then attempt to log into it but I am told that Im not entering a valid email address, the email address that I used to create the account. Really, really bad app or maybe thats the way Southern Living wants the app to work or simply just does not care. The app is not worth the one star that I need to enter to post this

This per multiple calls and emails to Customer Service. However, it contradicts the messages that are still provided through the app, indicating that the digital access is enabled on my account. Very poor policy change on the part of Southern Living, not to mention terribly implemented and communicated to subscribers.

I am having trouble receiving my digital copies. I love the magazine, but this digital stuff is not so great

Magazines dont load. Get stuck in"pause" even tho the download was not paused by user.

This app used to work great. I loved being able to access my print subscription on my iPad when I was away. Now, all my issues are gone, and it just runs me in circles when I try to sign in again. I am not alone in this issue, but apparently Southern Living doesnt care. Will have to consider this when it comes time to renew. Shame on Southern Living.
