BBC History Magazine App Reviews

I love it! Not being in Britain I can read the magazine anyway abroad. I cant compare with the paper version though but the online one is just perfect.

Quality content and efficient app.

It crashes consistently on this model

I was pretty excited about this app, but it constantly crashes. I havent even been able to keep it open long enough to read an issue.

Love it, just wish it still had the crossword from the print edition.

This is a remarkable compendium of historical issues with a British focal point. Its informative, accurate and yet entertaining - never boring! We look forward each month to the e-copy for stimulation and also to savouring the hard copy a few days later. Thanks for all your contributions and hard work - it really works for my wife and me.

Wonderfully researched articles on all the historical topics that interest me

I dont usually review things but I really do look forward to my History Magazine and after 2 years I can say it doesnt repeat or get boring. Well Done! I also love the podcasts that go along with the articles. Thanks!

Beautiful photography and illustrations. Readable history. Enlightening.

The content of the history magazine is very good and interesting to read, I have subscribed to the paper version for many years. I decided to switch to the electronic version on my iPad and I must say I am very disappointed in the quality of the app itself. It does not conform to many of the iPad standards that we have grown used to (e.g. you cannot escape the text and pictures by using your two fingers as in most other apps) and although they have tried to add in some other features it is not what I would have expected of a BBC based publication. There is no functionality that enables one to copyprint off interesting articles that one may want to refer to or share a few paragraphs of an article. Really a disappointment and may even cause me to go back to the paper version.

Just like the actual magazine the iPad version is informative ,varied and is of top notch quality. Well done.

Great magazine for history buffs.

What I love about BBC History is a variety of perspectives and historical detail, presented in a lively way. I just love the Shakespeare 400th anniversary issue.

A very well written popular history magazine from a not surprisingly English perspective, but which on occasion it commendably presents revisionist or other peoples viewpoints.

History in an interesting format, answers a lot of questions you may have had on various topics

Easy to use I love to read on my pad my preferred magazine!

History is my first love so this magazine makes me very happy. Lots of interesting articles and pictures. Enjoy it a lot.

I thoroughly enjoy the magazine and especially the interactive features which adds to the experience! If you enjoy history you will love this magazine!

Have been reading for over 10 years and still enjoy. Online availability means I do not have to wait a month to get the current issue.

Really enjoy the details of history that I find in this magazine.
