Rip off
This company charged my account for an "Automatic Renewal" without any such notification or agreement. I got a refund from Apple, but now when I try to read magazines I did pay for, Future Music mysteriously crashes and will not let me in. I've had lots of incidents with this company. Don't subscribe they are just a rip off!sunsinger
Disapointing
You'd expect to be able to tap on an story title in the table of contents and be zoomed to the article of your desire. Nope. As well, all url's within stories are not hyperlinked. And, there is no sound coming from the embedded videos. I want this iPad version of the magazine to work and be the interactive experience it should be at nearly $5 a pop. Hurry up!thewkyd
Takes too long to load
I love FM magazine so I bought a single issue (march 2012). Each page takes about 6 seconds to load. It makes reading a chore as every time you turn the page you need to wait a bit before reading. Sound On Sound does it much better & their mag is actually interactive. FM is simply scans of the print version. I'd rather pay a lot more for a physical copy in a store then try reading this on the iPad.ZippityZapp
Pretty good for the price
Considering the actual subscription is 4x as much, this is a great deal!Kopo2
App Runs Slow
Had a hard time even purchasing an issue on iPhone 4s and restoring older purchases. I have yet to see a video thru the app. Great potential but def not there yet.NYC NO ID
Great magazine, but peak at table of contents needed
Ignore the large number of 1-star reviews here. Folks don't understand how Newsstand works (and pricing is up to the publisher, not Apple) and think they're going to get free magazine issues. Gimme a break.
This magazine is hard to find where I live, so having the digital version is very convenient (I miss not getting the extra goodies that often come with the printed version). It's a UK-based magazine, so you'll see some differences in how content is written. Overall, very valuable magazine for electronic musicians and those who record at home.
One suggestion: it would be nice if there was a way for us to view the table of contents of each issue before buying. I don't expect full pages for free…just the topics covered. Some issues may not be useful to me, so I like to buy a la carte, not subscription. But Newsstand doesn't seem to allow publishers to show off an issue's contents page. Need a fix there. Otherwise, 4 solid stars for a great magazine worth paying for.mudixon
Didn't get the magazine
The magazine is a PDF of the print version, which is ok for me. But it's not readable on the iPhone. I tried to get it over to the iPad bit failed. Some back and forth with support didn't help. $7 down the drain.oliver2000
Useless Format
Content is fine. Price is fine if it was in a usable format. But This is just a scan of the magazine. It doesn't even contain any internal hyperlinks...not even from the table of contents. Trying to navigate and read the thing is horrible. No clue what these people were thinking.Pop-tart 40
Light a candle, don't curse the darkness
OK, we all know the mags not free. Wadda expect. But I downloaded the free version and I kinda like it. But what I would like to see is a preview feature so I know if I want to buy an issue, and since the real rag comes with a CD, how about an mp3 file(s) just like the big boyz ? Thanks buddy.Swizzleschtick
NOT FREE, i get it, subscribe but still....
why say its free when all you can do is download the app that allows you to BUY a subscription? i understand that mag's arnt free and i would expect that i would have to buy a subscription but i cant even check out main articles or anything, kinda false advertising i would like that to be fixed, im still gna subscribe but not for a while, ima see if the acctuall mag is cheaper, and that way i have the phsyicall mag in my hand, its neat it can be on my ipod but i thought id get to check it out before i subscribed... so... fail.ANALOGbryce
