Take Time To Enjoy
My wife and I look forward to every issue of American Hunter. Now that we have access to the digital version, we are even more excited! Every page is a thrill: animation, links to videos, incredible photos and interesting articles. We've each read every article several times and have shown friends what they are missing if they don't have the digital version. This is a "must do" app! Waste no more time - get it now!Show lessCody7mm08
Needs some clarification
Stopped working. Have updated and still can't get August edition. May just have to go back to print for this one.
Later: ok it seems you have to login, "sign in", each time you need to download a new magazine. This should all be clear within the app. In fact I shouldn't have to sign in for each download. Use my app credentials and validate I'm still active. If so push the magazine down. Good grief.
Once down its gorgeous.Show lessipbabble
The magazine is great! The app needs work.
The latest version seems to be more stable, although I can't seem to get the app to save sign in information from one session to the next.
The magazine reads very well, and the layout of the sections are well done. Top marks for the actual magazine and its ease of reading. I would prefer this over the print version of the magazine save a few things.
1) Make this magazine appear in the Newsstand! I subscribe to a few different magazines and will go from one to the next, but then I have to leave Newsstand and scroll to the app find the magazine, and sign in if there is a new issue available. Very inconvenient.
2) Fix the sign in so it saves the information. Ease of use is severely hampered if i'm reading in bed, only to have to run downstairs to rummage through my wallet to get my membership ID number.
3) Landscape mode for the websites (and perhaps the magazines too?) Portrait Mode for web browsing is awful and needs to be fixed to give users the option. The magazine is fine as it is in my opinion, but user choice is always a good thing.
Fix those things and you have a first class reading experience.Show lesscavalri
Good - Could be better...
Really like it, but needs just a few things to make it great.
I love the library and ability to have the digital versions of the magazine. And these digital versions are off the charts phenomenal. Stunning, rich multi-media experience while retaining a familiar print magazine layout and navigation. Very, very nice.
The couple of areas that need addressing:
- App does not have option to remember login; frustrating to always need to re-enter credentials to use the app
- Does not support landscape mode; minor inconvenience - perhaps unnecessary when viewing the magazine, but would be nice to have the option
There were issues getting access; apparently new members take a while to be loaded-up in their database. Since getting access though have had no issues with the app. access, downloads of magazine, links to NRA sites all working as expected.
Looking forward to the next update.Show lessAnthony, Jr.
An Innovative Beautiful Magazine Reading App
I've been a guinea pig for technical magazine apps the last few years and they are horrid, slow, waste cycles on stupid page animations and cutesy sounds and make me wish for paper - they must use Adobe FLASH! The NRA Magazines App is what they aspire to be but they don't have a clue: it's an improvement to paper. Take the time to learn this app for full magazine reading and for quicker navigation around the issues.
I'm an American Hunter and the first issue I read, May 2013, is great and I kept on surprising myself with how nice this App is. Embedded slide shows, pictures that can be panned left/right. Open your eyes and look for the navigation tips on the pages.
MegaKudos to the developers and to NRA Magazines.

Easy to read but login is absurdly difficult!
OK, NRA has finally adopted the same high quality e-publishing technology that others have been using for years. Better late than never!
The login is absurd. Do you really expect us to use a number of up to 12 digits as an ID? Once to verify membership is fine, but then the user should be allowed to create an ID / Password that is easy to remember, and there should be an option to store them and automatically log in whenever the app is launched. It's easy to do, and virtually everyone else is already doing it, so get with the program!Show lessAstronomy Buff
Excellent App!!!
Ever since I have signed for the electronic version of the American Rifleman I have been emailing the NRA to come out with an iOs app. I have been nothing but impressed by it. The app is easy to use and the features are awesome. You actually get to listen and watch interviews instead of read them, watch video, click on links to find more information in the advertisements and many other features.Show lessRichardS_in_NM
Enhanced Content
Some have reasonably suggested that a landscape viewing option would be good, and if one is using the keyboard I can get behind that suggestion (yet there is the fine option of viewing external content in one's browser of choice, which is a reasonable workaround). But that does not detract from the overall good feel of this format. The enhanced multimedia content—with the fact that said content is downloaded directly to the iPad for portability when not connected to the Internet—make this a real winner. Well done all the way around. Navigation is crisp and easy, and the display is great.Show lessSchafkopf
Much better than electronic subscription
I had no problem signing in, it took a little time to make the issue available, then bingo! You can close the app and it remembers where you left off reading before (unlike the previous nonpaper format--you had to clumsily go through the whole issue to find where you left off). Reading in portrait mode only is No problem. The iPad graphic gimmicks are there. It's fun. Hopefully there will be no glitches, so far so good.
Those of you who have had lousy interactions with the NRA BUREAUCRACY Washington D.C. incompetence, take heart. They can't help being affected by the dysfunctional, decadent atmosphere there. NRA is critical for America. Maybe they will help lead government toward a "What is best for America" attitude instead of "let's take and waste as much as we can"Show lessKitrobaskin
Very well crafted
I'm quite pleased with the app and the content. Received an NRA email telling me the app was available for iPad. Downloaded it, logged in and downloaded the May issue of American Rifleman. Nice and smooth scrolling. For those having login issues, make sure you don't add any zeros that your membership number may start with. They tell you that on the log in screen.Show lessPDX Kayak
