## What is hi?

Hi-Fi+ is Europe’s premier English-language high-end audio magazine.  Whether it’s the latest in digital audio technology or the best turntable you’ve ever heard, Hi-Fi+ magazine is the ultimate audiophile authority.

Our goal is clear; to seek out the finest audio components money can buy. Music is the soundtrack to all our lives and we think that the better that soundtrack, sounds the more enriched our lives can be. A good audio system can open up new avenues of music that might surprise you. We don’t differentiate; it could be a classic valve amplifier or a state-of-the-art music server – if it sounds good, we want to know and we want to tell you about it. The difference between good sound and great sound lies in the details… and we are obsessive about detail. 

We aren’t constrained by measurement or bogged down in stuffy old paradigms. We are relevant and a little bit irreverent. Hi-Fi+ features some of the best writers in the business, all passionate about making music sound as good as it possibly can. We seek out the finest audio components – and the latest and greatest music – and aren’t afraid of finding the best, whatever the cost.

### 5/5 — Calling all Audiophiles

*2025-01-17*

Great audiophile magazine good reviews and excellent pictures of gear.
📺

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review!

### 5/5 — The content matters

*2021-04-01*

I don’t like reading anything over my iPad. It’s a compromise, there’s nothing better than holding the mag in hand and smell the prints. But it’s hard to subscribe print version in my country. And I just like the stories and reviews of Hi Fi+ so much that I have to settle for the digital version. The contents are too good to let go.

### 4/5 — Good God

*2021-03-05*

Don’t subscribe to pocketmags, 5 mins and still waiting to load...will try to unsubscribe from this shambles

### 4/5 — Print much better

*2018-12-03*

The print magazine is beautiful. The digital version is clumsy at best.

### 5/5 — Good

*2016-12-21*

A good read. An easy app to use and save purchased mags unlike the other Hi-Fi mags which make it hard to find downloads. Also this mag is cheaper than the rest.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2016-12-02*

Fantastic news and reviews on everything Hifi, I like to keep in the loop on whats new and this is the best

### 5/5 — Excellent Read

*2016-11-25*

HiFi+ looks at interesting kit and I especially like their themed approach to grouping reviews which allows you to compare the approach of manufacturers at differing price levels. Highly recommended.

### 4/5 — Overall Very Good

*2016-09-27*

For the most part, Hi-Fi+ gives the reader good, unbiased, and fair reviews on many brands of hi-fi components. However, they often miss mentioning a multitude of lesser known manufacturers who make great audio products. In this regard, they are hardly any better than TAS, but much better than Stereophile, which has declined to a point of becoming practically worthless. There's plenty of room for improvement, but Hi-Fi+ is well worth reading.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2016-02-29*

Paid up until Oct. 2016 and can't get my issues on my new iPad pro. Never had any luck with PocketMags support. Stick with Zinio.

### 5/5 — Just as good as the print issue.

*2014-10-18*

I was always trying to get this magazine in the US. Not always worked. Now with this app, I read it every month. It is just like the real thing.
