MacFormat App Reviews

mag is great but when I loaded in special preview of new iPad mag it will not lwt me go back to library or store to view other mags

This app is frustratingly slow when opening the magazine, turning a page, scrolling or selecting a website.

What an awesome magazine! This is the best magazine Ive ever read on an iPad and should be used as the standard of how to make one on an iPad by every other content publisher out there, especially Apple related mags, many of which are very poor transfers of their otherwise excellent print versions. The content of Mac Format takes every advantage there is in creating a magazine for an iPad which makes for full interactive use; text is swipe-able, videos are integrated for watching, as are buttons for accessing related content. As soon as I discovered all this through one of their samples, I immediately signed up for a subscription and moved the app icon to the very beginning of my Newsstand to know where to start first whenever I want to read a Mac mag. Thank you Mac Format team for making an excellent mag app.

Purchased a stand alone issue and it is not downloading! I tried all the things mentioned in the support area. Anyone else had this issue? If so how did you resolve it!! Please help!!

Your update is terrible. It is slow, it will not load and when it does load some bought mags have to be re-downloaded again which can take hours...Wish I had never updated! Please, please fix these problems Thank you, Jan Kennedy

Walk away from this one. Its just a way to sell magazines. No info available without a subscription to one of this publishers many mags. This "app" is a waste of time. Dont bother with it

What magazines on the iPad should be: pretty, interactive, intuitive. A joy to read.

Rubbish!!! Can I give half a star???

Not sure what folks expect but its a great magazine with good info. Nice magazine app!

Perhaps a bit slow on the load, but its worth waiting for – and hopefully load time will be fixed soon. Absolutely fabulous execution of content and interactive presentation. Not only does this mag inform, it does so with elegant style. Well-done, Bravo and Thanks!

Without doubt the cleverest MacMag out there. Great info, links that actually work and I love the interaction - sad, but I sit for hours scrubbing the virtual wipe board! For once, I even prefer this magazine to a hard copy. Only slight downside, it sometimes has a glitch downloading, but deleting and starting over again fixes it - oh yes, great customer service too and shy not - theyre British!

This really utilizes the medium that it sits on. It is not just a digital version of the printed one, it was designed separately as an interactive piece. I love that I can now enjoy this in the states because I can no longer get the printed one (all the Brick and mortar bookstores are gone). This pub has the best content bar none. I always want to read every word.

I dont write a lot of reviews, but I pretty much read exclusively on my iPads now. This newest Mac format is just beautiful. By far the best magazine app I have seen and I have about ten various mag subscriptions so I have a lot to compare to. Great work. Should be the model for all to follow.

Trying to get rid of this piece of crap and Im stuck.

I was really surprised to see the vast amounts of information in each issue. I was thinking it would probably be like every other product specific magazine and just praise and glorify everything that Apple does but not so with this publication. If there is a problem issue with a Mac product this Mag will tell you and then tell you the best thing to do fix or go around the problem. Of course, on the other side of the spectrum, they do make issue of the things that are new and worth hearing about that make life a little easier to deal with. My subscription remains on my wish list to my family when it comes time to think of a Christmas, birthday, or Fathers Day gift. Keep up the good work!!

This is my first foray into Mac Magazines and its beautiful, interactive, and informative. Subscription price is okay-- rather expensive but Im an Apple news junkie so I pay for it. Great quality. Download and experience an app that has had thought out into it and executed with you in mind.

Really regret paying for this. Magazine is light on content and they always show you Scroogle products shots. How bloody annoying! And the app is a mess to use, and you cant highlight or bookmark! I hate this UK magazine, a total POS.

Ive been reading this mag since the 90s and its far and away been great. Useful articles and great writers.

This mag has awesome info, help, user forums, and the ability to ask questions directly.

The last update makes the app to crash and I havent been able to make it work. I did uninstall and installed it again and keeps crashing.
