Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent website and great choice of magazines.

Excellent website, platform and Apple application. I did subscribe to different magazines. Using an iPad Pro (2022), I have no problems. It works flawlessly.

The prices are also reasonable compared to the paper editions. I do have to admit that I would rather have the paper ones, but as I live in Belgium, the postage and taxes would kill my enjoyment.

The Experience for Ease

It is in the ease of finding what you want, they have the categories well ordered so that you can go directly to the areas that interest you the most .
Once you have selected the item you require they give you the price for single purchase or if you want to do it annually . You select which one you want and then you just select how you pay.
What you must remember is that these are not hard copies that are sent to you but ones that are kept on your computer/ipad/android or what ever device you use.
I've been using this for quite a while now and have been very happy with the service. It does mean that you don't have to worry about storing the hard copies at home.

Read Only, Yes. Copy & Share, NO. :-(

I was a bit leery when the distribution of one of my favorite magazines (unavailable in the US in print) was changed to PocketMags. Sure, the mobile format is fine if all you want to do is read, but if you want to copy an article or two for saving elsewhere, you are out of luck.
