BBC Sky at Night Magazine reviews
4.3 out of 5, based on 256 reviews.
Sky at Night
Wonderful introduction to a field I have longed to engage more with.
Curious about your Star’s
How is it that this has a 5 star rating with when all the the ratings are 1 star?
Nugatory download of back issues - why?
Thank you for fixing the bug that prevented me from accessing my subscription and all the back issues that I have purchased. Under the cover of the previous App which worked just fine, it took me several weeks to download the dozens of back issues. I am now only left with the painfully slow process of downloading all the back issues again. Perhaps in the next update, you could consider ways of not imposing this onerous and nugatory “download all back issues again” task on your User Community.
Not so good upgrade
Lost all downloaded magazines, subscription 'lost'. Unable to restore purchases. Not happy! After finally deleting app and reinstalling a couple times, I now have subscription access back but all my downloads gone. Trying to download even one is impossible. The green tick comes up to confirm downloaded but as soon as you go to read it, it reverts back to the download cloud! Completely useless if you want to read and don't have internet access or want to chew up data every time to read!! Plenty of bugs still to fix here team!
Magazine won't download, support no help
I've purchased other magazines from Newsstand with no problems, but this one won't download after making the purchase. Asked support, and got the template response of restart/reboot.
Sky at night
They expect me to pay for a mag that is 50percent advertising and pay to download it?
Avoid at all costs
App crashes each time I try and open on iPad. Customer support not really helpful. Have deleted and reloaded a number of times and even reset iPad. Do not go near until they have resolved these issues. Waste of money.
Crashes continually
The original version was unstable at the best of times but the current one barely gets to the main screen before immediately exiting. There's no chance to even access already purchased content. Avoid this until the developer can actually produce something workable.
BBC Sky at Night Magazine price by country
