The Costco Connection App Reviews

App does not work

Downloaded without an issue but now it does not open. Gave up and deleted it!

Happy camper

Works great since the start. Fast download on wifi, good notifications and badges with each new issue. I prefer this iPad version to the print magazine. All the cookbooks are a real bonus.

It works

Got past the "disconnected" and "unauthorized" messages. Now it works. The experience is not the same as reading the paper magazine of course.

Completely unusable on iPad version 1

As other reviewers have commented, the app immediately crashes upon start. Will uninstall after finishing my review.

Don

put on iPad Mini and worked fine (except for 10 times the ads) tried to install on iPad 3 and it wanted me to subscribe again and then always gave an error Tried everything. Just a messed up app

Long way to go

Loaded app and did not give permission to use my info. Looked for a link to read how my information would be used and did not see any link for that information. Now There is no option to change that decision. Also, when I click on "CONTENT" I get a momentary effort to populate the screen then it goes blank.

Lame

I have in app purchases turned off because I dont want my kids buying things by mistake. Why would a free magazine require that this be turned on? I cant read the magazine because I am NOT turning in app purchases on. No other magazines I read requires this.

So slow...

I was excited to see this mag on the iPad, and at first I was really pleased, although it seems there are more ads than in the print version, but Im not sure. I wanted to cancel the print version to save paper and household clutter, but I wont for now. The download was so slow, and each page took forever to render. If I went back a page or two, everything had to reload. It was painful. The cookbooks are even worse. I cant even download the older ones, they just sit and spin on "Downloading". The most recent one downloaded, but its so slow I cant even browse through the contents, let alone the whole thing. I have plenty of other mags on my iPad, with more complex content than this, and theyre fine. This is just poorly done, or a really slow server, or some other technical shortcoming. Needs serious work.

Works fine for me

I just downloaded this app before I read all the reviews. The pages load instantly on our iPad 3, flipping through the pages in the app and the print version and both are exactly the same. No extra ads that I can see. Maybe I just got lucky.

Not authorized

Says Im not authorized to view it. I assume this is a settings issue but I shouldnt have to waste my time playing with settings to see a free magazine.

Crashes

App crashes. Cant read more than a page or two before it crashes. Keep sending the paper version!

So bad

Doesnt get anywhere. Do not install if you dont want your iPad messed up

Download

I tried to download it a few times but it wouldnt work.

Nice PDF Costco

Great to see you go digital, but this is just a PDF. I would expect more from this company.

Works fine on my iPad 3

I like reading the digital version and find the links on the pages convenient. My only complaint is all of the location based links are for the western half of the country. How can I get the east coast version?

Connection apps

The aap will not download on my iPad. I am disgusted! I rate this aap as zero. Now I cannot submit this comment for your review. I would like to be able to use the Costco connection aap on my iPad but I cannot see how.I cannot do this when I cannot get any response from you. I am finished with this aap. Thank you apple!

Nice move Costco!

Im a fan of Costco, its nice to see them embrace eMagazines and do a little to save the environment. I canceled my paper subscription and will read the digital version from now on.

Junk

Not a good app. Only thing I can do is read the magazine connection. Deleting this app.

Barely OK

This really needs a landscape mode for the iPad.

Print option???

Why is there no option to print for the iPad? The iPhone version has that feature. It would be nice to have available for both :)
