The Magazine is brilliant...
…But the Pocketmags app is absolutely idiotic, clunky, slow and buggy. I’m actually considering cancelling my subscriptions to any magazines because the pocketmaps app is so awful. Every single update makes this app worse and worse. It freezes, it seems to seemingly delete magazines, causing me to have to download them again when you want to read them and does not make for a good reading experience... and this is on a new iPad Pro (M4 chip).
Can't believe you've got an option to delete bulk magazines in your library, yet you're forced to have to download each magazine one by one which is time-consuming and laborious.

Great idea; bad software
I was so looking forward to this publication — only to find that the app isn’t ready for prime time (in the U.S. anyway). Only two (out of approximately two dozen) attempts at reading from an issue have succeeded, because the pages won’t load properly: they’re variously . . . cut off in the middle, stretched out and unreadable, unscrollable, or simply blacked out. And there’s no help/support easily available even at the magazine’s website (nary a support mention). So I’ve asked for a full refund from Apple. Quite frustrating.

Impossible not to have in any serious library
5 Stars
Good content
Good content useful sheet music and tutorials.
However it doesn’t display correctly on my iPad Pro
Some page breaks are mixed up and text is half cut off.

Nasty Big
I purchased a special number « Piano Techniques », but it is not displayed after download. Only the slogan of pocketmags keeps displaying. Please, fix it. This behaviour happens in IPhone 11 PRO.
Love the scores that come with playing tips and recordings
This magazine has lots of great music for all abilities. I love that the subscription includes the ability to download back issues too
Brilliant
Simple - music files, videos, advice, news. Love this and helping me improve my playing.
Pianist
This app is incredible! I enjoy reading the articles but enjoy the teaching and new music at the back end of each issue, i highly recommend it for students and teachers.
Awesome magazine for beginner and advanced pianists
I have been a subscriber to Pianist for about a year now and feel that I am qualified to give a review.
There is so much to study and learn.
From a pedagogical point of view some of the articles are wonderful.
It is really inspiring to read about the various concert pianists, their backgrounds and what gave them a desire to learn piano.
The pages of sheet music are filled with great piano music ranging from beginner to advanced, and you can listen to the music also.
I have an IPad and a PC and can read/listen to the music on both devices.
From the point of view everyone who is interested in piano should consider subscribing.
PS. The publishers of the magazine have not sent me money in a paper bag to write this review :)
Best wishes to everyone. Keep well ad enjoy your musical endeavours.

Best magazine
It’s the only active magazine. It continues to inspire me and education is priceless, especially as an adult student.
