    App to write a review is not working.

    Developer Response

    I'm not sure if this is what you're referring to, but the rate-this-app popup that occasionally appears after reading an issue is provided by Apple (it's called SKStoreReviewController). The frequency of its appearance is controlled by Apple and the default behavior is to only ask for a rating. There is an option to also prompt for a written review, which I might have tried out and decided it was a bit obtrusive who just want to rate quickly and get on with the app, but that was quite a while ago, so I don't really remember.
  • Download doesn’t work

    I bought an issue on my iPad but there’s no way to download it. How can I see it? Is there a way to download it on the computer? Or any other way?

    Developer Response

    This is a problem that started happening with iOS 15. We're working on a fix. Sorry for the delay.
  • Fix for ios15

    Is it true you are working to fix the download error issues for iOS 15? I bought an issue (have a few issues already) on my new device and it won't download(comes up with the cache permissions error). When I got to my older device I can download issues but it does not show I bought the issue I got on the new device (it did not sync).

    Yes, we are working on the download problem for iOS 15, sorry for the wait. As for syncing of purchased issues among multiple devices, the second device won't immediately show the purchase, but if you attempt to purchase it again, it should report that you already own it and let you download it (once the download problem is fixed). If the app is restarted or if you tap the Restore button, it should refresh with all your latest App Store purchase and subscription info.
  • Don’t have access to caches

    I can’t download any new Cinefex issues that I bought. I get a “don’t have access to caches message” after the download completes. It seems this app, which has worked well for years, is broken on newer versions of iOS.

    Developer Response

    You're right, the download is not working on iOS 15. We're working on a fix. Sorry about that.
  • Cinefex is the best!

    This is a valuable asset for any VFX practitioners library. I own most of the Cinefex editions in print but over the years some were lost or missed and with this I have completed my library. Having digital copies at hand on my desk is very convenient and valuable to quickly look up and review something I might need immediate insight on. My problem is that it is all just so incredibly exciting that I will find myself getting lost going deep into the history of VFX thanks to Cinefex.

  • So sad to hear you are closing shop

    I’m an art director in the film and tv business and learned so much from this magazine...I first got it when only a youngster and dreamed of working with these legends...and some I have! So sorry you are needing to close shop...I do hope the iPad edition remains up and running...or that there is a way we can download our bought editions. When I gave to your fund for digitalization of all the early editions I gave towards that so I could have all the issues to browse thru ...and sold off my hard copies! So please find a way to keep the digital iPad version functioning!

  • Please fix downloads when running on macOS

    Please fix downloads on iPad OS app (v. 2.2.6) running on M1 MacBooks. My library shows up and it allows me to download but then it doesn’t switch to Read which renders the app useless on the M1 Macs. I was very excited to be able to read my library of Cinefex issues on my Mac. Please fix. Thanks!

  • Good solution to a well known problem

    Cinefex🎞 does not work on Laptops 💻 or desktops 🖥only IOS platforms and they need for a bigger screen has become very important . There have been a lot of comments about this. Airplay needs a Bluetooth or two ips running together and not everyone can get acesss to this setup when traveling on a tour and living in and out of hotel 🏨rooms. No worries just get a Apple Lighting to Digital AV adapter and connect it up to your favourite Screen ! My choice is a 60 OLED with 7.1 surround sound makes reading this magazine a scream 😱 and brings it back to Life !
    Nuff Said!

    A little more difficult in moving from one article to the next then most other magazines of the type.
