Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine App Reviews

They don’t tell you until AFTER you buy issues of this magazine that you need to register for an account with them to read the things you already purchased. That is fraudulent to me. I’m requesting a refund through the App Store. Also, they say a subscription of 6 issues for $35.99 is 83% off the regular price, but individual issues cost $3.99. Do the math. Either these people are incompetent or fraudulent. You decide. I used to love reading the print version of this magazine. Now I won’t even buy that because the company is so sketchy with their digital version. Very sad.

I downloaded both the EQMM and AHMM apps and was surprised how well they work. The apps are free but you can buy single issues or subscriptions in-app. I've done both. Buying single issues was easy but then one of the AHMM issues didn't seem to download properly. I wrote customer service on a Saturday and by Sunday night they had corrected the issue. Totally impressed. Reading is nice and the colors of the covers are amazing. I'll probably subscribe to other magazines as well via Magzster if it holds up. You have an option of buying issues via a separate account with Magzter, the app's developer, or just through your existing iTunes account. I chose the latter, because who needs another account? The single issue price is $3.99, a dollar off the newsstand price.

Bait and switch only absolutely not free

I been a fan of these stories for some time, there will always be many stories to hold your attention. You can buy one to try or sign up for a year. It is worth it. Enjoy.

Not free; $3.99 per issue. Possibly 4 stars, but subtracted 2 for being misleading.

Despite making the app completely unusable now on my old iPad, you continue to bill me for a subscription that I can't read. What moron of a product manager made that 'business' decision? Never mind. I'll take my business elsewhere. If I could give you a negative number of stars, I would.
