Leave a Review Total Film Magazine
Ugh! What an eyesore!
Why do iPad magazines not realise that just because you CAN have flashing logos and stupid popups everywhere doesn't mean you SHOULD! Every article (even the long ones) are on a single page and smothered in buttons and frames that make the whole thing look like a bad night in Atlantic City! Seriously, look at what other magazines are doing (Vogue, Wired etc). They may not have as many flashy buttons but at least you can read them!Show lessSam T Crowe
my favorite magazine
UPDATE: just downloaded the new version optimized for the retina display. WOW. I'm liking this new format!!! the font size can be adjusted now, the pictures look much better!!! haven't had much time to actually read it to test out other new features but so far, I'm happy.
Now, as soon as Newsstand downloads automatically, I'm changing this to 5 stars!!!
I am very happy that my fav magazine is finally on iPad!!! And since I live in the US, this is waaaay cheaper than my old paper subscription!
Only thing, and maybe it's me, but newsstand is not automatically downloading the new issue for me. I get a notification from TF that a new issue is out but I needed to go to the app and download it myself...same as MacLife which I think is the same parent company as TF.
I will change it to 5 stars when it does download like its supposed to, cuz the magazine is just great, no complains. Just tiny technical issue.Show lesstristan34044
Clunky, not optimized for tablet use - avoid
What a disappointing app for a magazine in the business of audio visual entertainment. The Total Film app is nothing more than a high definition PDF that needs to refocus every time the reader changes a page or even moves around on a single page. This app takes no advantage of the opportunities offered by the iPad in the way that dedicated, fully function magazine apps do. Golf Digest, for one, is designed for the iPad and provides videos, teaching visuals that the reader can control, outside links, and the great navigation system found on many dedicated iPad magazine apps including the New Yorker. I'm glad that I bought a single issue rather than the subscription since it is so cumbersome to read on an iPad. Avoid until the magazine wakes up. Separately, how about offering Empire Magazine in the US store as well. Would like to give that one a try.Show lessuruseiyatsu
Poor effort
This might well be a great magazine in print but the iPad version is terrible. Just a scan of the pages and nothing more. You should have a look at the Red Bull magazine for some ideas on how you could do this magazine better.bigbadrobbo
Film
The App is free, but from then on you must pay a weekly, monthly subscription - it is a deceptive way to get your dollars. Come Film mag be straight up!!!ssa53
29 versus 7.99 what more do you need to know!?
I have always been a fan of Total Film but did not want to pay around thirty bucks for the latest issue nor did I want to pay twelve for an issue that was two months old. Now you do not have to do either buy it through your dirty old iPad for around eight bucks before it even hits the New Zealand newsstands ... Easy
I love movies and I love my Film news and reviews other than the intellectual heights of Sight and Sound it does not get better that this.Show lessHotterLeftHanded
Bad
You get it thinking you can read it for free but you have to buy the articleWho's the best?
Problems with App - but content
I'm not an idiot and expected to pay for content - but downloads often fail and even though it says you will not be charged again, I have paid twice for a couple of editions - as one of those was a bargain at 69p for the content, it was not worthwhile to bother complaining - the content was easily worth the double price I paid! If it worked better I would give it more stars..Show lessGrahamF, London
