### 5/5 — BEAUTIFUL PICTURES

*2017-03-10*

I have found some of the most beautiful scenery in this magazine and also enjoy the articles.  Often it is a so long time between issues that I often fear that the magazine is no longer published, it would be nice if the publisher would send e-mails to let us know that they are still in business and that there will actually be more issues.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your nice comments about Byways.  We're very proud of the editorial and photography in Byways.  For 34 years Byways has been produced every two months, and a new issue was released just last week.  The best way to insure you receive notice of a new edition is to consider a 12-month subscription at $2.99 for the full year.  It's a great deal!  Thanks again.

If you want to see what is in the US, this is a great magazine! We are getting ready to tour the US in an RV, and we have highlights for areas we might not have otherwise sought out. If it came out monthly, I'd give it five stars.

I've had a chance to look at this publication on an iPad in the past which  made the pictures really 'pop!'  I was pleased to see that the magazine's quality didn't diminish with the smaller screen of the iPhone. Well done and look forward to future issues of Byways!

It's rewarding to read a magazine with stunning picture slide shows and videos embedded directly into the overall experience. This is the first magazine app I've read where the supporting content really POPS by rotating the iPad to landscape.
