HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (27 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Accurate, great results8%

10 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Downloaded the app and it works great.
★★★★★ People who 1 starr'd this app need to realize that it was changed to support the iOS 5 newsstand format and works great as a newsstand app.
★★★★★ I've had this app/subscription to Golf Digest for about 5 months now and everything has worked perfectly. I love how the magazine implements video into the articles so the golfer/instructors can demonstrate what they…
Worth the money8%

10 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Integrated video adds to the impact of the illustrations - this is the embodiment of technology in periodicals. I just wish I could get an issue every two weeks rather than monthly.
★★★★★ But to be honest, this App is worth every penny of the mag subscription.
★★★★★ The app is awesome, you got all the issues for free if you subscribe for the paper version.

7 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Enjoy the practice tip videos and articles Best part is easy to practice and improve game Very enjoyable Anyone interested in the game of golf needs to read
★★★★★ This is a great magazine and I really enjoy the iPad version but the file sizes are pretty much 500mb for each issue.
★★★★★ But as for the app: though the print edition is my first choice, I really enjoy the iPad edition because of the ability to see the swing lessons in motion.

Glitchy on iPhone

I paid for the annual subscription but it won’t let connect my golf digest login to it. Just a “something went wrong” error.

★★★★★Jun 20, 2026
Superb layout

Well done, Golf Digest! It’s one of the easiest online magazines to navigate, & the content is top notch.

★★★★★Nov 23, 2025
Horrible customer service

I’m not a review guy, but I’ve had it. I purchased the digital and hard copy subscription in August. Yet to receive a hard copy. I have emailed three times now. With no response.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2025
One of the worst apps I’ve ever used

I think they just stopped supporting it. The only purpose here is to search and the search bar is broke.

★★★★★Sep 21, 2025
Can’t unsub from newsletters

No matter how many time I try to unsubscribe, contact the service desk email, or report the emails as spam, I continue every day getting newsletters. Terrible app interface and customer service.

★★★★★May 10, 2025
Garbage

Digital search feature doesn’t work and they do not respond to emails. Do not waste your money.
