Kiplinger's Personal Finance App Reviews

61 add

Requires separate digital subscription

I subscribe to the paper edition of Kiplingers so I thought I would have access to the digital version as well. Apparently you have to pay extra for the digital versions and it is through some third party. I will be deleting the app.

Useless to print subscribers.

I own a print subscription but this app requires that you buy a completely different(and more expensive) digital subscription. What garbage.

Does not work

This digital magazine is the most difficult to use I have ever encountered. Their tech people should read Bloomberg to see how real digital mags work. Total waste of money, get paper version the IT bozos dont have a glue.

Cannot log on

I am a print subscriber but cannot log on to this app unlike Money magazine.

SLOW downloading; 46% over four days!!??

Kiplingers current issue is downloading SO SLOWLY!! Ive opened the App several times a day for 4 days. Today I can read the first 36 pages. I hope it will finish before the November issue is released! Also, have other customers noticed that they are not permitted to select and copy text in this App? I dont appreciate this total lockdown of content. So if you want to take note of anything while reading this App have pen and paper ready!

Manipulative and dishonest subscription a

I aleady have an annual subscription but in order to obtain the October 2014 you state I have to buy a second subscription yet it still will not let me read the oct 2014 issue . I need help

Valuable information but lacks basic features

I like the magazine but the App does not allow to email or share articles which are basic functionalities commonly available in many apps like Bloomberg, Economist, HBR and other magazines. I will change the rating if Kiplinger adds these features.

Unusable

Small text in four columns - just screensots of print magazine :(((. It is impossible to use it. Just lost my $6

A rip-off

I had a one year subscription to Kiplingers through Magzter. At its conclusion I was unable to access any of the magazines I had through the subscription. Pressing the restore buttons did not bring these issues back. It was as though Ive never subscribed it all. If you choose to subscribe to Kiplingers do it my mail. At least that way you will get hard copies. I am not sure I will bother to do that. Money Magazine app has a superior interface and the subscription includes hard copies. Thumbs way down to Magzter. I am also disappointed with Kiplingers for not going with a more reliableSecond party to create a decent app.

Do not download

Should have read reviews.. Unusable and unreadable. I am very disappointed.

Print subscription unavailable on tablet

Bummer. Every other magazine lets you do this.

Ethically Challenged.

Kiplinger / Magzter does not allow you to have access to magazines that you have already purchased if you do not renew your subscription. This strikes me as unethical. Do not subscribe to this magazine.

One of my favorite apps...

...for one of my favorite magazines.

Great Business Magazine

This is one my favorite business magazines and the app works great, downloads very fast and the reading experience is very smooth. Good pricing on the subscriptions, I was expecting it to cost more.

Doesn’t work

I have had a print subscription for years. I now have online access to the magazine on Kiiplinger’s web site. Customer support told me that this app isn’t supported.

Doesnt allow access to your print subscription.

You will have to subscribe to Kiplingers through the app to access a digital copy. Your print subscription will not allow you to access issues digitally through this app.

Too complex to use

Too complex. Too many subscriptions, too many adds, hard to download or view magazines. I am getting frustrated and probably wont resubscribe. The service is designed for older people, so make it simple.

So 1999...

While it is nice to be able to read the magazine on my iPad, Im only reading a print version reduced to iPad for format. Really? How about a version that actually adapts the content to be navigated on a tablet?

Junk

This is a piece of junk used to capture your email and send you spam on your birthday. Avoid at all cost.

Waste

Doesnt even allow me to open my account
