Missing back issues
CUCKAW
I’ve been subscriber of Bass Player Magazine for years. Now all my back issues which I have paid for are gone. This is not the first time this has happened. I mentioned this to tech support and they seemed to taunt me and make it a big joke not taking me seriously. This went on for months. Finally, I had enough of the techs shenanigans, and was able to reach management. Their department were able to get the problem fixed in no time while tech support took months to reply to emails and not fix the issue. It looks like I’ll have to go through that whole process again. At least I have it all documented in emails for proof. Get your act together Bass Player, or the company that controls your app. Take some notes from Guitar World they’re right on point.
Missing All Issues - Avoid updating until further notice!

This latest update deleted all of my issues, dating back to 2011. I spoke with tech support and went through all of their recommended steps five times to fix & restore. Nothing worked. I was then given an excuse that they'd be closed Dec 20 - Jan 2 and that "no further work will be undertaken during this time". I'm all for people having a nice winter holiday, but a keeping an app broken for 3+ weeks (that we've paid to use) is unacceptable. This new Bass Player UK is sadly off to a very rocky start.
All my old magazines are gone!

The last update allowed me to restore only a few last magazines, even that I paid for many more. I had about 50 magazines I have purchased, that are now gone. Very disappointed. I unsubscribed.
New magazine owner removed access to previously purchased issues before 2018.

Since the publisher of Bass Guitar magazine purchased Bass Player magazine, it appears that they have removed access to back issues previously paid for with prior prescriptions and back issues. I will file a complaint with Apple and my credit card company for fraudulent misrepresentation of past purchases. Shame on you Pocketmags.
The worst format I’ve experienced
mstott25
I prefer digital subscriptions. From magazines to newspapers to books, it’s much more convenient to have it all on my iPad. Bass Player magazine has been pretty good on the digital front until they decided to go through this “My Favourite Magazines” digital subscription manager. Every time I open the app, without fail, there is a problem downloading an issue or logging in. I am told to go to the Help section to navigate how to retrieve my issues through iTunes. The content is good but not worth the hassle. Bass Player needs to do some more research on user experience. This coupled with the fact that I literally receive two spam emails a week asking me to subscribe to bass player magazine (I’ve been subscribed for years) makes me think they have completely lost touch with their reader base, they have us chopped up into different categories (digital vs print?) and are not honed in on the actual concerns of their market.
Can I give this zero stars? BEWARE!!

It pains me to write this because I am a long-time fan of the magazine, but it is true and I must warn you. If you bought a year's subscription through the old Bass Player app, it WILL NOT transfer to the new app. As a result I am out the ten remaining issues in my sub. So far neither the app creator nor Apple seem able or willing to fix this. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. .
Why don't publishers "get it?"

I love this magazine, and am a long time print subscriber. However, there is no way I will ever give up my print subscription when the digital subscription costs twice as much. Could it be that is exactly the reaction the publisher desired, in an effort to protect their print subs? Conde Naste is the one of the few publishers that seems to "get" the digital model. I am a print subscriber to Wired, and I get access to the digital version of the magazine (which includes actual digital content, rather than just a digital remake of the print product) with my subscription rather than as an added cost. The result? I actually spend more time consuming their product! This app is a great example of how to do digital distribution in exactly the wrong way. I love you, Bass Player, but this is just atrocious.
Will not restore previous subscription
$19.95
Had a subscription to the old app, and all was good. Now, the new app asks for my username and password. Huh? Aren't subscriptions managed by iTunes? Why do they need my account? What's going to happen to my previous purchases? I tried to retrieve password with every email address i have and nothing was recognized. Tried 'restoring purchases' on the info screen. That asked for my iTunes password, then proceeded to do nothing. I am really regretting going digital, as this is the biggest fear I had.
Won't update previous subscription

I lost half of my subscription, will not let me download Oct or Nov and my subscription is good until Jan 2013, what a rip off
Extremely Frustrated
ScottieGee01
I love this magazine. However, I am not able to download any past subscriptions. It asks me for a user name and password... That I never set up! Please fix this. I would have never purchased a more expensive subscription if it weren't for the convenience. But this has proven to be pretty inconvenient.
