The Costco Connection App Reviews

Current issue

Its May 19th. Where is the May issue? Id like to see current feature items.

Need a true iPad version

Please make a full creep iPad version

NOT THE APP TO SHOP OR CHECK INVENTORY

Top and only match in app store. This just has the magazine and ads. It is not the shopping app.

Not bad

I actually find many of the articles in Costcos magazine quite interesting; theyre kept short and informative. As for this app, I dont see some of the issues other folks complained about - the current issue was right there, and I was offered a free subscription so I assume that it will download the next issues when they are available. I dont quite get why there are two ways of presenting the material though - a scan of the magazine and a ad-less page per article (where btw. the text size function appears to be inoperative). Why not have just one PDF-based (i.e. fully text searchable) version that looks the same as the magazine? I also think that a nice touch up would be a page turn effect which I have seen in other e-book/magazine apps. But by and large this app works for me, and its free content so Im not complaining, only suggesting.

iPad app ?

Even tho it says it has an iPad version, all I get is the iPhone version. Fix please!

Bad, Bad, and really bad.

Have had nothing but trouble with this. Before a download completes I am told I am offline and cant complete download.????? This problem is constant on every item I have tried to download. Only one issue downloaded, the October issue. I have all my subscriptions on my Ipad and have NO problems with any of them and never have.

Sluggish

Turning pages is jerky or sluggish on my iPad2.

Great App

App works great on iPad 3, one of the better apps Ive seen in awhile, I prefer this over the printed version. You wont be disappointed.

Wont install

The app has been trying to download itself to my iPad 2 for three days and is holding up updates to other programs. There appears to be no timeout or cancel mechanism. I would not expect such poor quality control in an App Store-delivered product.

Articles wont open

The magazine downloaded without any problems but none of the articles will open. It says Im not authorized. Please fix!

Does not work!!

Costco talks about how great their apps are and how easy and convenient to use. This is the only app that refuses to fully download. Plus when I click on any of the articles it blocks me from opening as an unauthorized user.

OK

The app works fine on my ipad 2, the only problem is that I cant seem to find a way to delete older issues, so theyre just taking up space on my tablet.

Crashes constantly

App continually crashes on original iPad. Unusable. Please fix!

Just doesnt work

Downloaded and it crashes the iPad everytime. Not a great job, Costco.

Unauthorized user

I was excited to learn the Costco was putting their magazine and cookbook in an app. But every time I open it and try to read an article or look at a recipe, it tells me I am unauthorized to use it.

No good. Shame on you!

Still not fixed. Fooled twice now. Makes me feel like a fool. I will give it one more try in a month or so.

Crash Crash Crash

Takes forever to download then crashes almost EVERY time. Frustrating beyond belief! Cant read any issue because it wont stay open long enough for me to get through the first few pages

Useless

Absolutely unnecessary. Sits there and doesnt do anything. Why?

Nice app but with a couple of minor issues...

The app renders the pages correctly and I have not experienced the issues which other reviewers did. There is a small glow of yellow around the graphics and text every time the page is displayed. It is a little annoying but it is tolerable. There is a problem which it cant delete issues when you use the settings option and select manage issues, it shows the issue but it would not allow you to do anything after you select edit. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. I dont want to keep it on my iPad3 as it takes up valuable storage.

Worst app Ive ever seen

Install and see for yourself... The WORST app Ive ever seen on iOS. Just plain bad... They could improve this app 100% by just making it open the Costco website when you launch the app.
