Forbes Magazine App Reviews

Unusable

Font is so big its unreadable. 250 pages , 200 pages with ads.

terrible customer service experience

I tried to obtain the digital subscription. I am a print subscriber. The digital subscription should be included for free. I have now tried to pay twice for the digital subscription and it still has not gone through. They do not even have a phone number you can call. This is one of the worst experiences of hat with an iPad app.

Layers of frustration

Horrible, frustrating. . .

How can you justify charging print subs for digital access?

Just give digital away for free. Double dipping charges makes me question whether to even bother with this subscription going forward...

Love the Forbes App

App is smooth and content is always great!

Loving the new design

I have been a Forbes reader for many years now and their digital offering works great. I use some of the sharing features more then others since I don’t social share much. I like being able to see what other people find interesting both in the app and on their website with their thumbnail clipping list.

Great update. I like the new look!

I have been using this app for almost two year and the one thing I love is how often they update the app and add new features. Some great, others not as useful but I like that theyre always trying new things. The latest update is great. Very cool new interface and the article clipping and sharing functionality is awesome. Also, for those reviewer giving it 1 star rating because the digital version isnt free, well, its not ideal but I understand that good content is going to cost money and Im willing to pay for Forbes content on my iPad.

Great app

Cut and paste feature is so easy to use.

Wow…its as cool as Forbes magazine in real

Wonderful Job Forbes. While reading this magazine on my iPad, I had same feeling as if I reading paper magazine….so smooth. And on top of that video in magazine makes my day. You rock Forbes.

Nice app!

Great user experience! The UX is just amazing.

Love the new look

I love the new look of the app, fits the new iPhone software update really well. The timed preview is neat, but since I’m already a subscriber, it’s not of great use to me. I wish some other apps had it though that I wasn’t a subscriber for.

Download twice?

When you obtain a new magazine, it downloads what appears to be thumbnails. I thought I had the full magazine before I climbed on a 3 hour flight, only to discover that I needed to have an Internet connection once I opened the magazine to get the blurry pages of the magazine updated to full resolution. Why cant we get the initial magazine downloaded and then be able to read it without having an Internet connection? I thought it was a setting issue, but there are no settings....

Pretty sweet

I like the browsing feature!

Bad

Not removing from phone app update list

Best app

Forbes is the most important app to have on your phone. Forbes is all about to things: money. I read the tour de forbes like the bible and this app is gr8 m8 I would r8 8/8

Terrible software!

I enjoy the content in Forbes, but the software for this app is terrible! I spend more time trying to undo unintended actions than actually reading what I want to read. Every time I sit down to read the magazine I end up quitting early out of frustration with the way the app works.

Crashes

Crashes fix app

Gesture controls are maddening

Forbes. I love this magazine and content. However, the digital content via app is difficult to navigate because the interface is too unwieldy and clumsy, in my opinion. I am sure this will improve over time. ----- Overall, I love having these issues on my iPad for when Im traveling or on the sofa. ----- Unfortunately, like Fortune Magazine, even you are an active subscriber, back issues (before the subscription start date) must be purchased a la carte, and the $5.99 price seems pretty unreasonable.

Horrible App

This horrible app will not let me read anything until I renew my subscription. My subscription is over in October 2015 and it is April 2015 right now! Absolutely horrible!!!

Unreliable but good when it works

As a frequent flyer, i like reading Forbes offline. Like the download % complete you added, but the lack of dependable behavior unlocking content is maddening. I have an apple subscription to forbes, but app frequently forgets this and shows me preview. Restoring purchases tells me it has failed and to write to support but then works.... Love the convenience of readings mags on ipad but lack of reliable delivery means is maddening
