  • Five stars!

    When Borders closed in Augusta GA I couldn't find Total Guitar anymore. I Google searched it and found out about this app. Now I have several issues right in my cell phone and i get them as soon as they come out, not a month behind like when I was buying the paper magazine. I'm 100% satisfied.
  • Not really worth it on an iPhone

    I imagine this magazine would be okay on an iPad. But on an iPhone the screen is really just too small to sit here and read a magazine. The included tabs in particular would have been great in the paper magazine or maybe on an iPad, but they're useless to me on my iPhone and I have no way to print them. The rest of the content is something between a fan magazine and a player's magazine but I guess that's to be expected. At least the copy I chose to buy had an article about Mastadon in it. But typical of the way this magazine sort of touches on subjects and then quickly moves on, it showed photos of their guitar rigs but didn't explain the much. I might pick up a paper copy of this magazine sometime, especially since it comes with a CD, but I don't think I'll bother with the iPhone version ever again.
  • Right on

    I agree with you 100% perry... The idiots either too dumb to read the info on an app or too lazy. But you have to under stand they are part of the give me generation.
  • idiots

    you idiots you're downloading the app! not the issues! all of the magazines on the app store are set up just like this, jeez people grow a brain! so far this app functions properly for me. you download this app so that you can buy subscriptions or issues, this is kind of like a folder on your ipad or iphone to put the issues in.
    AND THEY GIVE PRICES IN THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION!
    maybe instead of mindlessly clicking download you should read about what you're getting first so you don't come on here and make a bad review of a perfectly good product and make yourself look like a total idiot in front of God and everyone else on the internet.
  • I don't want the newsstand app.

    Since I can't review the app, I'll just give all the content 1 star!!! Let me hide the app in a folder at least!
  • App buggy - hangs and does not load subscription

    App hangs and fails to find subscription info - just caught in a loop with a revolving circle icon. Also does not seem to load magazine on multiple devices as promised i.e. I subscribed on iPad 2 (which now hangs) but fails to load on iPhone 4s. Looks like it needs work.
  • Really❔

    I thought that this would be a free magazine but you have to buy them inside the application but no you have to buy each mag. And no it doesn't come with a magazine. 👎😭💩😒😖🔫
  • Lousy app

    This is only the front end for the pay per issue. What is a joke is the magazine comes with a CD that is referenced all through the issue. They do not provide access for the CD content. So on other words , you pay more than the normal subscription, and receive less, and cannot print anything from the issue. Pretty much a useless ripoff!
  • High quality mag for guitarists (and not cheapskates)

    This is, basically, Total Guitar magazine on the iPad. Now I know that sounds obvious but given all the 1 star, 'it's not free' comments you'd think people would realize this. It's a high quality magazine which reviews guitars, guitar gear, song notation for guitar, guitar players ... I think you get the picture. It looks exactly like the magazine, the picture quality excellent as are the reviews.

    Since they (the company produces a lot of magazines) are produced in the UK the cost in the US was high, I always preferred this (and Guitarist) to their US equivalents so it's great to be able to get these at a reasonable cost. Of course all the (minimal) gear ads are for the UK, but that never bothered me even when I purchased the original mag!

    I much prefer having these on the iPad rather than the paper, now I don't have to throw away my old mags anymore.

    4 stars since you can't jump to pages from the table of contents

    Currently you can download a free example
  • Not free

    Not free at all. You must think people are stupid. Get this off the app store.
