It is puzzling why Zinio still refuses to support storing purchased magazines on an SD card instead of internal storage. That leaves the user running out of space on internal storage with two options: 1. Purchase a new device (tablet in my case) with bigger internal storage, or 2. Keep deleting downloaded magazines (which will prevent users from returning to previously read magazines easily).

The information feed is filled with interesting news from household, scientific, economic and general. Accordingly, it attracted with its content and offers for subscription. I agreed and am completely satisfied with this choice. They work perfectly.

Was going to get friends a 12 month subs for Xmas. Did a test of mens health for me. Kept asking me to authenticate and pay via pay pay 2-3 times. Thought I was being scammed as cuticles me back to shop and pay again. Killed browner, cleared history and locked my pay pal and credit card. Seemed dodgy and so I have up. Will monitor my account to see if it hacked me.

I cannot access my magazines and getting help is pretty difficult from Zinio. I can log into the website but it won't allow me to view my magazines.

Zinio is unwilling to provide a facility to store ones purchases on a micro SD card to save internal memory space on phone or tablet. Zinio have been contacted regarding this issue but simply refuse to include it in their app. Pocketmags does so why can't Zinio?

Reading offline seems to never work. The site says to click on a pop-up - darned if I could find;. A good job of hiding wherever Customer Support may be. They really need to rethink the poor customer experience.
I'm looking for a different service.
Thanks,
Pat

I think that all people today have to be modern and keep up with the tendency of digitalization. I am pretty tired of buying paper magazines, because there are lots of such ones in my house and I don't know where to throw them. So, I have decided to search for some services where I could subscribe on particular magazines which I like the most. I chose this company because it seemed to me that it has lenty of various magazines on all tastes. So, I did it and nowadays I got rid of paper magazines. I just enter this website and read everything I need. It's super convenient.

This company has auto renewals on subscriptions with no notifications. If you try and call they direct you to their website and instruct you to link to help. Help does not go anywhere. If you press live chat it says no one available. No where on site can you cancel a subscription.

For years, I have been subscribing to craft magazines, such as Bead & Button, Beadwork, Interweave Crochet. Two weeks ago, I went to Zinio's website and signed into my account. Much to my consternation, I found my Library is empty, my record of Subscriptions and Purchases is empty, and my archives are empty.

I have tried approximately 5 times to contact this site via email, chat, and telephone. The telephone numbers do NOT connect to a human. There is one number that only allows you to leave a message with your name, phone number, problem, etc. Zinio is supposed to get back to me.

I have NOT received any responses to my emails, chats, or from the message I left, which was on 7/14/2021.

Needless to say, I now do NOT have access to any of my back issues, I do NOT have access to my current subscription. I feel pretty frustrated right now.

I have tried repeatedly to read my magazine The NZ Property Investor online through this site, Zinio. It is almost impossible to get access to the library and actually read my magazine. I have been given online support from zinio and a password which does not work. The app is very difficult to use as it does not give me instant access to the library and I just cannot get access to the library through my account. Not intuitive at all. And poor overall level of service. Cannot see how this site continues to succeed.

Zino has been offering "free" issues of some magazines lately (2 or 3 issues). What they don't tell you, or hide it well, is that as soon as they deliver the last of the "free issues" they auto renew on your credit card. No notice, no nothing. Fortunately my credit card company declined the charge. There response was that if I did not want the auto renew to turn it off. Really! Also, the charged much more that the current price shown on their site. In this case $69.99 instead of $99.99.
