HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (1.3 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.

Customer service is completely MIA

Having a problem with the app because it does not recognize me as a subscriber. Tried to restore purchases, no luck. Try to log into my account online- fails, even with stored password. Try password reset, no email received. I finally try to just cancel because I don’t need the hassle. This magazine does not even appear in the drop down to select magazine. Complete frustration and customer service FAIL.

★★★★★Sep 16, 2023
Going downhill

This app used to be great but as usual someone had to ‘redesign’ it. (Read not any better, just different and worse than before) Don’t give me new and worse. Where are the links in the magazines, where is the music, where is any ‘ease of navigation’??? This it really terrible. The actual physical magazine and cd are fantastic and amazing. This is not.

★★★★★Oct 10, 2021
Music gone again

Have had this subscription for years. This is the third time I can no longer access the CD music. Please fix. Very frustrating and disappointing.

★★★★★Jan 12, 2021
Love BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE

It’s arrival is always a cheering light in my day. Briefly forget the nation’s idiots.

★★★★★Jan 8, 2020
Love the coverage... music absent

I used to subscribe to the print edition and loved it. Later when I found this app, I was thrilled and liked the ability to listen to the tracks digitally. That worked for the first editions. Then with the last two issues the digital music files from the CD are missing. I look forward to the tracks while I read the magazine. With no way to address this malfunction, I’m left wondering if I should cancel.

★★★★★Nov 29, 2019
The best.

Best musical mag app.
