Press Releases

Mac Format read like a series of press releases with very little information about improving the users experiences with new products, apps and services.

Screen Rotation

This App would get five stars if the screen flipped other then that its awesome. I love the content you cant beat it. If you are not a Apple head this app is not for you..

Pretty good

I find the app works well.

Possibilities, but annoying.

Some of the content in this magazine is useful. However, be aware that it doesnt deal well with non renewal. It will keep showing up with new content (at a price) and is a pain to ignore. Suggest you avoid unless you plan to subscribe long term.

Mac Formay

Useful info. App works well

DISABLED

My iphone is disabled and it has to be connected to itunes

Voucher code not working

After I downloaded the app from an email I received from you all I tried to use the voucher code provided. After 3 attempts I deleted the app and reinstalled it thinking that would allow it to work, once again it didnt so I deleted the app off my phone. When you all have something that you want printed make sure that it works before its release. I would have loved to be a subscriber but now I am just a statistic of people who have deleted the app.

Haven been able to read one issue

Crashes every time!

Charged for free trial

I looked at this magazine a long time ago and got one issue liked it and deleted it because it was too expensive. Recently I got an offer from the company, from Mac format to get two free issues and then buy it it I liked it. This sounded like fun. I downloaded the two issues and discovered my credit card had been hit for the full amount of a subscription for the free trial was up. I will never be buying a magazine from this company again. Too bad, as I am an IT professional. This magazine would have been helpful.

Objective Review

I like MacFormat and its iCreate counterpart. In print form this magazine cost is very high for U.S. Subscriber as it originates from U.K. I waited until the app sub was reasonable and then subscribed. I recently renewed. I used to buy individual issues with the app again,because print issues run about $15.00 . Subscription price with app is a bargain! Both magazines offer great info and supplement my MacWorld sub(also via iTunes). Digital copies are better than hard print. They are easy to refer to at any time within several clicks from my library. Beats pouring through a stack of back issues. I will definitely renew as long as digital subscription price remains reasonable. Oh, on a hardware note I am using a 3rd gen iPad 8.1 and have no issues viewing,downloading or archiving issues. O

MacFormat

Great service, great info, a MUST HAVE for every MAC user.

Terrible app

Future Plc makes terrible magazine app. It is almost impossible to get a subscription from them that will work on more than one device (iPhone and iPad). They seem to make you purchase the magazines more than once if you want to read it on your iPhone and iPad. You are better off subscribing to their pdf format...at least with that you can read on a PC and multiple devices.

Good magazine--not so good app.

This is a very good magazine, better than its American counterparts but the app is poor. Its main deficiency is not automatically notifying you of the new issue and usually you have to go to "help" and restore issues to get the new issue to download.

Aborts on IOS 9

Ok, its beta IOS, just to inform

Outstanding

Excellent content and excellent app. Every issue full of useful information.

But for the English

I stumbled across Mac Format quite by accident on the magazine rack at my grocers. I purchased their guide to my newly acquired Apple iPad Air 2. I downloaded the proffered digital copy. I can only find fault on one point. For a publication with a global market and outlook the slant is markedly English (British). The publication should be focused on the technology and be nationality neutral.

Very informative

Great guide for my iPhone.

Hard to Read

Since they removed the ability to change font size, it is all but impossible for me to read on my iPad Air 2. I really enjoyed it in the past in spite of the high price. I wont renew, and the print version here in the US is ridiculous. I dont have this problem reading other magazines I get from Zinio.

Attention to detail

Awesome Layout and attention to detail! Always spot on with the info! Always enjoy digging through the info monthly!

Unable to get free digital edition of paper magazine Offer

Bought The Ultimate OSX Yosemite Handbook also offering a "free digital edition". Input the URL address & took mento the APP but no free download available even though its supposed to be valid through 16th May 2016. Very disappointed.
