I really like this mag, but hate the extreme number of ads. I realize that advertising supports the mag so I just suffer through them. The ads are why it gets only 4 stars.

I love this magazine. I love that I can get both hard copy and digital copy. I just do not like the automatic renewal.

I never used this feature. I'd rather have the physical magazine than the digital version. I like the tangible feel of the magazine.

I cannot get this to work on my iPad, even though I have in the past. Conde Nast has the most confusing interface.

I don't like Texas Monthly. Never have. Some people want it just 'cause it's about Texas but it's not worth it. Read somebody else's copy.
