House Beautiful Magazine US Reviews

Does not apply to paper subscriptions

Frequent traveller - iPhone 4

Almost every other digital magazine allows you access for free if you already have a paper/hard-copy subscription - BUT NOT HOUSE BEAUTIFUL!!! I normally love this magazine, I have a 2-year paper subscription, so I am astounded that HB would ask loyal customers to pay again to get the same content on the iPad. ***FIX PLEASE!!!!!!***

This is simply an app to purchase an online subscription. If you have a subscription by snail mail, you will not be able to get this. Also, you cannot view any content whatsoever.

What's the point?

I have been a subscriber to HB for a long time. Having recently renewed my subscription and having just received the January 2013 issue I was excited to try out the iPad app the issue repeatedly boasts about. I followed the instructions on page 6 of the magazine and was unable to get any of the images to scan and upload. I was also disappointed to find that HB wants me to pay again for the same exact content I already have in the traditional format. What a waste!

I agree with previous reviewers that it is ridiculous that print customers have to pay for a separate digital subscription. Every other magazine I subscribe to offers this for free. I will definitely reconsider my HB subscription going forward.

Disappointed. Must purchase another subscription.

Unlike most other magazines that give you a digital subscription when you already receive a subscription by mail HB will make you purchase content you already receive but in digital format. Ideally I'd prefer to not receive the print version and switch to a digital, however I'm not going to pay the same amount to have the same sub in two different versions. At least offer at a discounted rate for print subscribers.

Get with the times...

Agree with the other reviewers that HB should be encouraging early adoption of the digital format by allowing current, and often long time, subscribers to make the switch. I guess I have to let my paper subscription run out and then start anew digitally. HB should be looking at seamless integration with print and online particularly with mobile adoption skyrocketing. Don't lose out by being slow to convert. Look at digital as a way to bring your beautiful content to life as others have done -- Martha Stewart Living, National Geographic for starters.
