Yoga Journal App Reviews

Love! It has everything and more about yoga.

No display, no recovery of purchases. Big disappointment...don't waste your money.

I cannot find any on my 2017 issues and the Yoga journal App is not restoring my magazines. Any solutions?

I am having the same issue with not being able to restore issues. And now I need yoga more than ever! 🙄

Last year I found a charge for this magazine and requested to be cancel. Once again this year they charge again for content I don’t even use or read. Sent email to Apple and have clicked on the cancel subscription button many times. But now it’s another year they take my money without consent and even though they bill in advance there’s no option to get your money back. Please stop taking my money !!!

I’m unable to read the journal on any device. It crashes. It only downloads adds and not the articles. I want my money back.

I purchased app and cannot see more than six pages clearly.. What's up with this?

I don't get magazines downloading in an appropriate time, and sometimes I have to delete the app and reinstall to have my purchases show up in my library. Frustrating. Not very interactive, my cooking magazines are better. :/

Great little app for taking a yoga library anywhere you go.

Useless

Unfortunately after subscribing for $19/yr the app doesn't recognize your active subscription and will not allow access to new issues unless you buy them. Really frustrating!!! Apple says they're not responsible. Yoga Journal says they're not responsible. Don't buy any subscriptions through Apple Store. You've been warned.

Very disappointed to find out I would have to pay to access the digital version when I already get the print version. Will be promptly deleting from my iPad. All my other magazines allow access to the digital version with my paper subscription. Please change your policy.

I also can no longer access my downloaded issues -- not even the new ones although my subscription is good for another 8 months. They won't refund the balance of my subscription either. This is a total rip off.

So far, no complaints on the iPhone 6 plus. Keep it up!

I fine the articles relaxing and entertaining!

The app crashes about a minute after opening every time. So irritating that I canceled my subscription. It’s too bad because I always enjoyed the content - just can’t keep the app open long enough to read an article now :/

Getting back into yoga after several years off due to a MVA that included broken hips, shattered cervical and lumbar vertebrae. At 55, I felt I needed the guidance. I stumbled on this and loving it so far. My journey continues.

I spend $20.00 on this app and it hasn't downloaded any of the newest issues. It keeps giving me winter of 2013 and it's 2015... Please help!

I love the magazine and love having it digitally but this recent update wiped out all my downloaded issues and when I try to restore purchases (Apple subscription) nothing happens. Very frustrating. Since I'm writing a review I'd like to see more interactive features in the digital version.

Wow, I do love having the digital version of the magazine, more than I thought. Plus, all of the paper saved, awesome! Go digital!

After the new update you can't download new issues. All the old issues can be downloaded individually but sometimes it doesn't work and it's a hassle. So many issues with new app and you are paying $20 a year. Don't do it. Save your money.

I get the notifications that the new issue is available, but I can only access one from last year. I'd like my money back.

I will not pay for advertising. If you are tired of companies selling you for profit do not get this app. If you have any respect for the values of a yogi do not get this app. After seeing what this app was I lost all respect for Yoga Journal as serious advocates of yoga.

As others have reported my 2017 issues are gone after upgrading to new version. Very sad as my auto-subscription renewed on 03/18 and I do not know how to solve this. I hope that customer service will email me back and advise on how to resolve this.

I have been paying for this subscription for two years but after updating the app, I am not able to restore purchases or access any new issues on iPad or iPhone. Support is unresponsive. Money wasted. I'm very frustrated.

Like everyone else, everything is gone.

I have been a subscriber for a long time of print and the app. I did away with the print to save the land fields and just use the app. It looks like it updated, but everything is gone.

Yoga Journal is a marvelous periodical that I rely on for news, and got d reviews of yoga related products.

Where is December? Yoga Journal's web page shows the December edition, but it doesn't show up on the app.

Yoga Journal has done it again!!! Upgraded the app and the result? It no longer works. Who are your tech people?!?! I am paying good money for this app and it has been useless for the last month - since the last upgrade. I can no longer open my downloaded magazines no matter what I try. FIX THIS!!!

Long time print subscriber - I added the $4.99 digital. Paid. And, nothing. Shows I'm signed in but won't allow me to see content without additional charges. I'll report back if it gets fixed.

... New device, new installation but I could not restore my purchases:(((

Been a huge fan of the magazine for years and when I moved abroad was worried about having to give up reading YJ. The app has been invaluable. Worth every penny. Now if I could only figure out a way to clip articles for my files......

I have been enjoying this app way more than the paper version of the magazine. I cancelled the paper version and will only go digital from now on.

The last data update removed all issues for 2017 and will not restore. I tried canceling, but was told a refund is not possible and no one will assist with recovery on either side.

Since purchasing a subscription to YJ in 2014, I was only able to download one issue. I haven't been able to see on iTunes where I can get a refund.

More yoga, will make the world a more flexible and happier place!

Good access to past issues

I’m writing this review after trying to read the current issue and having to tolerate 5 or more crashes in 20 minutes. This app used to work well but has become nearly unusable.

Have had an active subscription which I verified with Apple but does not show in the app and requests payment for additional issues ☹️☹️☹️

Can't see any of my issues, will not restore, not able to open any issues. My Library still telling me I need to download issues and restore my purchases. Very frustrating that this isn't working, and that I'll have to download a few years of issues AGAIN.

Update: I wrote the below on 3/18/17 and still haven't received feedback or troubleshooting assistance from developer (it's 7/8/17). Used to be a huge fan, but recent update dumped all my previously downloaded issue and I cannot retrieve them unless I manually click through each issue. Also noticed most of the special issues are also gone (meditation starter, charms, etc.). Contacted the developer and hope this will be fixed soon.

Difficult to use, confusing, not helpful.

The app closes as I’m reading. I keep an opening the app and have to find the page where I left off. It’s annoying 😣

I already have the magazine in print and thought digital would be included in the app like other magazines but you have to pay the subscription again... Not fun.

I have been practicing for some time and this source is extremely helpful with details to prevent injury, evidence based studies on benefits of yoga for therapeutic reasons and consistently informative articles. It is a great reference and I continually learn and am able to refine my practice and teaching through the use of it. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in yoga.

I'm very confused after reading the high ratings for the app. It seems like the issues available for $3.99 are mostly pages and pages of ads. I'm seeing very few articles. The print magazine feels like it has many more articles. Am I missing something in the app? I see and use the arrows, info buttons, etc., but still am only feeling like there are about 5 or 7 articles per download. And most of those are 1or 2 pagers. Is it me or do others feel that way too? If there is a secret to this, please share. Thanks!

I would have reported a problem within the app but the app freezes whenever I attempt to. To make matters worse I have a subscription but the app never seems to remember that and tries to charge me even though it isn’t time for me to renew my subscription. I have also had issues with getting the magazine itself to load and the app in general is just plain buggy. I don’t normally leave reviews bu the headaches with this app are insurmountable enough to make it not worth it until they address this problems. I will be cancelling my subscription.

Each and every time there is an iOS update, I have to restore my entire YJ library.In other words, all my previously downloaded issues are gone, and this app wants to charge me $3.99 each for something I already purchased through my paper subscription. Now, after iOS 8, I am back to being charged, although my subscription is current until February of 2015. Seems like my purchased content should still be available after an OS update, but at this point I am deleting this app and going back to paper!
