### 5/5 — Content worth paying for

*2020-06-15*

Mobiography is a great magazine for the beginner and experienced mobile photographer. Andy has a done an excellent job in bringing it all together in a format that combines video, print and stills to showcase what can be accomplished with the tiny camera in your pocket. Every issue features interviews with photographers that are pushing the boundaries of this medium along with plenty of tips and tricks to help you improve your skills.

### 5/5 — Validation error (Resolved)

*2020-06-09*

I have paid a 12 month subscription and made additional purchase of two back issues. When I attempt to open all but the free trial issue, I get a pop up  “Validation Error” notice.
Andy at Mobiography Magazine made contact with me and after speaking with his developers sorted the issue.  Through the entire process I was kept completely informed and now have total access to all the content is subscribed to.   It was worth the wait as the magazine is loaded with excellent advice, interesting content and most of all photos from people like myself, enjoying the convenience and creative options of photographing with a smart phone.

**Developer response:** Glad we managed to sort the problem out for you.

### 5/5 — Excellent

Loads of information for mobile phone camera users!! I had an issue with the subscription process and it was immediately solved. Very nice people. 
This is the best reference material for phone photographers. It’s worth the visit! You can suscribe or purchase individual issues.

### 1/5 — L’application disjoncte

*2023-08-05*

Impossible d’ouvrir l’application

**Developer response:** Bonjour, désolé d'apprendre que vous rencontrez des problèmes pour ouvrir l'application Mobiography. Pourriez-vous vous assurer que vous utilisez la dernière version de l'application ? Avez-vous déjà contacté le support ? Sinon, pourriez-vous envoyer un e-mail à help@pocketmags.com ou directement à moi à support@mobiography.net.

### 1/5 — What?

*2023-02-07, version 7.0.47*

pay for little news that there is on the internet and in an App with bugs? Tss

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2020-08-06, version 9.2.1*

Don’t get it all it does is make you pay to put a picture on a virtual magazine that nobody will ever see WHICH YOU CAN DO FOR FREE ON MANY OTHER APPS .

### 1/5 — A sad fall

*2020-07-31*

There is a saying, don't mess with success.  Maybe the OS mandated a change.  But my subscription has been corrupted. I Have had to one by one reload each and one that was 'free' now I have to pay for.  And this iPad 2gen may not be supported, I'm about to find out.  Sad

**Developer response:** Could you make sure you are running the latest version of the app as there has been a major app update for iOS users. 

If you are running the latest version and still having problems could you email me at support@mobiography.net as I would like some more information about your problem. 

You should be able to easily restore all your purchases with the new app so I'm a bit concerned as you mentioned that your subscription corrupted and you had to restore them one by one.

The old free issue was quite old so the April 2020 issue is now the free sample issue that showcases the latest content and features. The previous free issues should still be free so I will get this fixed.

### 1/5 — Bad bad

*2020-06-27, version 8.11.29*

I paid for subscription and don’t let me read the issues

### 1/5 — Marketing. Useless

*2015-11-21, version 7.6.2*

This is an app that is selling emagazines. I am deleting this spam ware now

### 1/5 — Closing my subscription

*2014-10-06*

Apparently my subscription ends  at the end of October, I will not be renewing for the simple fact that having paid before since I was a subscriber. I have never been able to read a single issue so far. I am not going to pay just for the privilege of being able to buy a new magazine each month. Sorry but I feel like I've been had.

**Developer response:** If you have been having problems reading the magazine I would suggest contacting support who will be able to find a solution to the issues you are having

### 1/5 — Amateurish.... at best

*2013-10-05, version 4.5.1*

Written and presented like some kind of high school project.....might appeal to some but the constant spelling mistakes and childlike interview questions didn't appeal to me. I am an amateur photographer but dont like my magazines written by amateurs, especially when they ask you to pay!

### 2/5 — Adapt it for iPhone X

*2018-03-29, version 8.11.15*

iPhone X adaptation needed

### 2/5 — Poor...

*2017-10-06*

Whilst I like the content I find the App very poor...

It constantly freezes, fails to switch over from portrait to landscape mode, it crashes regularly and just generally makes the whole experience bad! Even the link to review the App failed!
I have paid for a years subscription and will not bother renewing it if there is not some improvement in its fucntionality. 
My software is completely up to date and Im using an iPad Air 2 to access this, so I would expect everything to work, sadly its not the case right now. 
I would suggest if you are interested in the App, then trial it and if you suffer any of the frustrations I have, move on and save your money as it won’t improve once you’ve subscribed.

**Developer response:** If you are having technical issues, could you contact support so we can resolve the issues you are having.

### 5/5 — Be inspired and learn to be a better mobile phone photographer

*2024-03-17, version 7.2.2*

I’ve been a subscriber of Mobiography for almost a year and am more impressed with the content with each issue that I read.  Reading stories about other mobile photographers and the work that they are doing is true motivation to pursue to shoot more and with greater purpose. Also, the tutorials in each issue provide “aha” moments to learn and expand on the tools/apps that are available for mobile photography.  I watch a lot of YouTube videos but this magazine is truly special with its content.  I highly recommend subscribing to Mobiography.

### 5/5 — It’s like Christmas every two months!

*2021-07-08*

I absolutely love my Mobiography, and am so excited with every issue. I pour over every page making sure I don’t miss a thing. It takes me so long to read every issue, because I check out the Apps that they mention, and if I have it, I will try it out and spend hours,  if not days learning it. I recommend if anyone is thinking of subscribing, to this magazine, you can’t go wrong with it!

### 5/5 — Great Mag

*2021-06-20, version 9.4.0*

Nice formatting! Fun and creative inspiration!!! Stuff to challenge yourself with!

### 5/5 — Superb mobile photography app

*2021-01-25*

Mobiography Magazine is a wonderful addition to my repertoire of go-to, online subscriptions about mobile photography. The interviews are insightful and illuminating. The tutorials are detailed yet written and illustrated on a level that is easy to follow. The photo app reviews are superb. Best of all, my photography has improved since subscribing. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great magazine

*2021-01-06, version 9.3.1*

Great magazine for all mobile photographers, bith amateur and pro. All kind of tips, tutorials, videos, interviews and a long etcetera. If you love mobile photography, you should no doubt be a subscriber

### 5/5 — Thank You For A Great Magazine

*2020-12-06, version 9.3.1*

Best all around smartphone magazine

### 5/5 — When you’re passionate about mobile photography!

*2020-11-27*

This publication has to be the best kept secret out there for mobile photographers. It’s interesting, informative, and aggravates all the things an avid mobile photographer would love to read about. You know it’s a winner when you can’t wait for the next issue. My only complaint is it doesn’t come out every month. My advice is to get started by looking at the contents of the last several issues, bite the bullet and download one. You’ll see what a good value a subscription really is.

### 5/5 — Mobiography Magazine

*2020-09-13*

I love this digital magazine! There are so many camera, editing and special effect apps, that I’ve ended up with a lot of useless or redundant apps on my mobile devices. It’s very hard to keep up with all the new apps. Now I use Mobiography Magazine to do the legwork! It’s a great way to stay updated on the latest smartphones, editing apps, and other smartphone photographers. It features tutorials, equipment, artists, reviews on future smartphone releases and fun ideas and ways to challenge yourself. It has tons of useful information that I can read at my own pace. It’s well worth the very reasonable price to be able to stay “in the loop” without having to do time-consuming research.

### 5/5 — Excellent Update

*2020-08-19, version 9.2.1*

I have read Mobiography magazine since issue 1, anyone who uses a mobile phone for photography, whether as their main camera or for casual snaps will find Mobiography magazine a great source of information. The reviews are excellent and easy to understand, interviews with photographers are usually very interesting and one can always learn from their techniques and experiences, there is something in the magazine for all levels of photographer whether beginner or pro. The yearly prescription is good value and I find the new update gives the magazine a nicer cleaner look 10/10

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2020-07-30, version 9.2.1*

I recently found this magazine and I wish I had found it sooner. It is the perfect companion for anyone with an interest in photography that owns and iPhone. Plenty of very good detailed articles, stunning photos and reviews of apps and equipment. Well worth the subscription price. There is only one thing that I would like added that is missing, the option for bundles of back issues.
