Kiplinger's Personal Finance App Reviews

Confirmed via support email that Kiplingers requires a separate PAID digital subscription if you already have a print subscription. Will not be supporting this decision & have deleted the app.

Dear Kiplingers- look at how "The Economist" does apps and subscriptions and copy it.

Talk about false advertising. Why would you list the app as free when its really just a portal to subscribe. Free is free. Either sell ads and make the magazine free to the reader, or dont lie and list your webmags as free when theyre not. Anyone bright enough to want to read your mag is Not going to fall for this bait and switch. Good luck with this crap

This app merely allows you to subscibe at full price to the digital version of Kiplingers. Even if you have a print subscription you must pay again to receive the digital version. Money Magazine allows print subscribers to receive the digital version absolutely free.

I have paper subscription and it doesnt let me use here. Why I have to pay extra money for ipad app?

My Economist, Fortune, Money, and Inc magazine subscriptions provide app access to my issues at no additional cost. Will not be renewing my Kiplingers subscription if their policy remains the same.

Unable to subscribe to the magazine. I shouldnt need to create an account. Should be able to use iTunes Every time I try to connect with Facebook it crashes. Not a good UX! How many lost customers does that turn out to?

Barely readable, delete

So slow, by the time I get to an article I am uninterested.

What is the point if subscribing to your magazine if I cant consolidate it to a digital form. You are a finance advice publisher yet your product is technically a bad investment. Not winning.

Poor interface, difficult to understand why I need a "Magster" login at all. Every other magazine I subscribe to via Newsstand just uses my Apple ID. Fonts are much too small, layout is...well..nonexistent. Might as well be a PDF. Have a look at The New Yorker or The Economist to see how this should be done. And dump Magster, theyre clearly amateurs.

Kiplingers publishing company is stuck in the 20th Century. Trying to double dip their subscribers by charging for both the digital and printed version of their magazines. Their apps is clumsy and the digital version, just a scan

Subscribe but cant read my full subscription via this app. I have to but it. That is terribly unprofessional.

This app does a poor job of tracking your purchase and does not seem to be able to remember you bought a one year subscription. It then puts you into a position to have to battle to get your monthly magazine. Frustrating and not worth it

This is the worst app Ive dealt with. I am a subscriber and cannot log in to access my subscription online. I have over ten print magazines in my news stand and this is the only one that I cant read online. Frustrating and a stupid interface.

What? That was 9 months ago. Cannot figure it out.

Worthless unfortunately. It is built only to sell magazines at terribly inflated prices. Even when a print subscriber is logged in the only available option for downloading an issue is to repurchase at the single issue newsstand price.

Loaded app then I was informed each month was at a cost. I wanted to delete the app but there is no place to do so. App does not appear on my home screen or in settings. And if you dont want the app it continues to send annoying notifications. Fix the bug so we can delete the app if we dont want it.

Its very simple. Fix this app so your current subscribers can access it "Without" having to buy another subscription!

I am a huge fan of Kiplinger and love being able to read the magazine from Japan, where I live. The application is outstanding, although a little bare-bones. Very smooth operation though. Other magazines like Money have features like pull-down articles, but they are really a bit hard to use. I especially like being able to email articles to myself for reading later, or checking in six months to see if the magazines predictions were correct.
