Horrible
Pjbordenave
I don’t even write reviews ever but this app was so horrible, I felt an obligation to speak out about it. Where do I begin…well I’ll start with the fact that it took a century just for the scroll to register. I mean I could’ve gotten up, popped a hot pocket in the microwave, taken a bite of it when it comes out just to realize it’s to hot, come back to my room….all before it took the time for the scroll to register. Second, I tried to search articles and nothing popped up. Then the user face seems so outdated and illegitimate, like I’d catch a virus from using it or like one of those apps you find advertised while watching an illegal stream. If I could give this app 0 stars, I would but I’m forced to give it a 1, but I guess I have to since the app actually turned on. Needless to say, I will not be downloading this app ever again. Forbes, more like Horbs (short for horrible).
Go woke, go broke!

It’s been a while since I’ve read this magazine. Wow! I’m surprised at how liberally biased it’s become. Silly liberals just don’t understand! Too bad.
App won’t recognize my subscription

I subscribed through the browser and paid. The app recognizes my login but says no subscription and wants me to pay again. Well, at least i can access content through my browser. Pretty heavy ad load however. One plus: browser access let’s you turn off auto-renew.
Poorly formatted app

I like having access to Forbes on my iPad, but this is the most poorly formatted app out of all of the news apps that I currently use. This is particularly true given the price of the subscription. I want to have access to the magazine; so I continues to subscribe. However, this is the only app that makes me feel the cost of the subscription is not consistent with the value of the technology.
Applied for a subscription

Another update. It is 5 months later. They have tried to charge me, every month, for a subscription that was cancelled less than 24 hours before it started. They could find nothing about my subscription by name, zip, address, or (get this) card number! My card provider decided to give me a new card. They were as perplexed as I was. New card, new number. Forbes is still an excellent source of information, but this app, and whomever is behind it, are crooks. And they aren’t even good at being crooks. Simply incompetent. I can Not imagine needing to add to this review again. If they somehow get my new card number, that will be time for escalation. Thank you. Just an update. It is one month later. Who ever is in charge of this app tried to charge me again, despite having agreed to cancel everything. My cc company had no problem denying these people. Now the only question really is, are the creators of this app in any way associated with Forbes? Let us hope not. ******** Took over 24 hours to be approved, digitally. It only took a couple of seconds to start receiving junk mail asking for money. Was unable to login to the app, which is what the subscription was supposedly for. Every screen I went to was asking for more money, trying to get me to subscribe again. The people on the phone were really nice, tried to be helpful. They could not find their way thru this murky miasma of a subscription fiasco. Several calls did nothing. Email did nothing. One screen, showing their magazines, told me I could look at the magazine cover for three minutes. This can NOT be the Forbes I have learned to rely on, the Forbes that is one of the highest quality info sources I’ve ever found. What an embarrassment for Forbes. 24 hours is what I offered them, to get this straightened out. 24 hours is up. Unsubscribe, here I come. The unsubscribe process needed to be another phone call. The person was, again, very nice, altho she was initially unable to find the subscription. She eventually did find it, and stated I am unsubscribed. Time will tell. And now, this abortion of an app will be deleted.
Struggling with this interface - really not well laid out

I love the quality of Forbes journalism, but the iPhone app is killing me. I see pictures with a word or two of text under them. Can’t tell what anything is about without clicking on it. There’s a banner asking me to turn on notifications permanently wasting a portion of my viewing area. Come on guys… this is shoddy design.
