### 2/5 — good content awful application

*2024-04-08, version 7.2.2*

Still showing big black bars at top and bottom of the screen in 2021…they haven’t bothered to update their app which I think just sums up the lack of quality and interest from the developer. It’s a shame because the content is always good. Basically it’s just a badly formatted pdf with no interactive content.
Updated 2024 - yep, those big ol’ bars are still there. Frankly, this is an appalling application which does the mag no favours, mind you for UK readers, the mag is very much US centric anyway. The UK based MacFormat mag is much much better.

### 5/5 — Love this mag!

*2021-03-15*

I enjoy reading this mag every month. If you like “everything Mac” this is a great choice. Keep up the good work!

### 1/5 — Stop asking for feedback

*2019-11-15, version 6.0.4*

Asks for App Store rating and review in spite of this being disabled in settings!

### 1/5 — Locks up and buggy

*2018-10-10*

For some reason the last update has made it where it does not recognize when tap on it to open the mag. It just hangs up for a few minutes and then finally opens.  I once had to delete it and reinstall but it still does the same thing intermittently.  I use like the digital version especially the previous revision but now not so much.

### 5/5 — Comments

*2018-10-09, version 6.0.0*

Your magazine is best by far that is available for Apple products,lm a big fan and have all its “toys”
Keep up the good work
Patrick

### 5/5 — If you love Apple you will love this publication

*2017-06-15, version 4.9.97*

Best mag available. Informative, interesting and crucial to get the best out of any Apple product. Great value too.

Steve

### 1/5 — App fails to load

*2016-11-20*

I tried subscribing, only to find that the app will not open on my iPad Pro. Cancelled my subscription.

### 4/5 — Only place dir top tier Apple News

*2016-11-07*

There are many places to get info on big red. But Macworld has been at it the longest. The writers true red Apple fans but they don't hokd anything back if they have a problem with the latest gadget or moves by Apple. 
If your thinking of chabging your OS or gadget or your a longtime fanboy or girl & want unadulterated reveies & articles Macworld is the gold standard.

### 4/5 — Mac Essential....

*2016-10-11, version 4.9.97*

This is an essential magazine for the apple user. Gives you all the latest up to date developments from apple. Only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I preferred the original layout. Down to personal preference.

### 2/5 — Not as good as the paper version

*2016-03-11, version 4.9.86*

There seems to be much less content compared to the paper version and not keen on the layout. Having said that, the content there is, is of a good standard. I doubt I'll be renewing my subscription unless things pick up.
