Great app
The app is really great. I’ve used it for the last two years to stay up-to-date. The only complaint I have is that there are some magazines that have been queued for the last several months.
Response from developer
Many thanks for your review! We're always pleased to receive positive feedback and suggestions from our readers, and will be sure to pass on your comments to the editorial team. Thanks, The Digital Support Team
Dated application options
1. You can’t download in bulk, only single magazine downloads, which requires screen prompts for each download.
2.There is no ability to split screen magazines with other iOS apps. I.e. so if wanting to use images for reference/or reading instructions from tutorials, you will need to flip back and forth between apps or take screen shots of the pages you want to use then use another app that can take advantage of multitasking options

All’s good until it’s not!
Love the app and the product. But I had a similar subscription to 3D Artist for years, until they decided to kill the app and I lost my whole library of content after the iPad they were stored on crapped out. Here’s hoping history is not repeating itself!
Ps: if a developer happens to read this how about a feature to let subscribers send issue to their computers via air drop or something?

No problems with the app.
WASTE OF MONEY
Magazines get deleted EVERY time the app closes. Downloading constantly fails.
Feel I have been conned out of my money.

Awful app
Buggy mess
Deleting my issues
To add my voice to the previous reviewers. I too have been an iPad subscriber to 3D World with this app since it was first released. I'm on an iPad Pro with 128 GB of space. I have every issue since 2012 loaded on my iPad. Last night I fired up the app to see that there was a new issue. I also saw that the previous issue was no longer on my iPad. I downloaded both issues and began reading the new issue before going to sleep last night. This morning I flipped through my open apps and was able to see the app opened to the page I was on last night. When I selected the app the screen refreshed and then EVERY SINGLE ISSUE WAS GONE. EVERY. SINGLE. ISSUE. No I do not have auto-archive turned on.
But it gets worse. If I pull up Settings > Storage Usage it states that the 3D World app is still taking up 12 GB of space on my iPad. That means that even though the app no longer sees the issues they ARE still on my iPad!
Downloading a new issue made the storage amount go up, so now it appears there are two of the same issue on my iPad!
So now I will be deleting the app and all of its data and reinstalling all of the issues to see what's going on. And no I did NOT update the iOS during all of this. It just happened for no apparent reason. This has happened in the past as well.
I LOVE being able to read the issues digitally and not have to lug physical copies everywhere, but right now the app appears broken, or at the least flawed.

Great magazine good app
A bit slow to download, but that's due to the great content!
Not loving the fact it deletes my downloads
I have been subscribed for the last 3 years, I love every new issue that comes out and would recommended it to anyone wanting to learn 3D art. But for the last few weeks, it keeps on deleting all the issues that I download randomly out of no where. I don't have the auto archive turned on and every now and again, I just up and deletes every issue I have downloaded. It's getting to be extremely annoying. Please fix it.

Great Magazine, mediocre app
The magazine content is great, but why does the app not have a download all button to get all my magazines at once?
Downloads always fail and "qued" never goes away when trying to download multiple, which always happens after an update.
Annoyingly redundant and pointless "Are you sure you want to download?" dialog pops up for EVERY issue you want to download/restore. This is completely useless and gets in the way when there is an x next to the button that accomplishes the same thing without slowing you down.
This is why we can't have nice things. We can purchase all back issues at a discount, great. Now prepare for endless tapping of "download/are you sure/download starting" messages for each one, and a few asking you to "buy" the magazine you already own, only to again say you already own this, would you like to download again for free? This app is clearly neglected and, unfortunately, a failed attempt at a good user experience.

Top notch
Great for learning new industry standard and what to do and what not to do definitely worth the five star and the money
Great!
There more magazines than I expected for different things people might want to learn!
Great app!
This is a great app. I love that the magazine has been adapted to use with a tablet, making it more dynamic and interactive than the print issues. The only downside to digital over print is lack of an easy way to get the bonus content offered each month.
Worth the money
This magazine is filled with so much information. the tutorials, and many other pages w of gives so much for so little, ddppqepplp
Mag
Really like the articles, quite interesting and helpful
This mag app always crashes
I was very happy with my 3D World and Computer Arts mags (same publisher) until i upgraded to ios 8. Whenever i open up either of them, they instantly crash. I am using the latest versions of these mag apps and i have an ipad 3rd gen. Please fix them as i have a lot of mags in my library which I havent read.

State of the art coverage
I loved reading about DMM in their Godzilla issue. That really showed that they are on top of what the best VFX solutions for destruction out there. I hope they do some DMM tutorials now that the Maya 2015 version is out.
Very practical and helpful
The magazine isn't just a bunch of articles about the industry. There are plenty of informative articles but the tutorials are very practical. I recommend this magazine especially if you are a beginner. I have to say I choose this magazine all the over all the others I've tried.
