## What is Opera Magazine?

Described (in The Daily Telegraph) as ‘the bible of the industry’, OPERA has been the world’s leading commentator on the lyric stage for more than 70 years.

The iPad/iPhone edition brings you selected pages from the latest issue as soon as it is available. You can subscribe within the application for full access, which brings you every page of the issue and a complete searchable archive back to the first issue from February 1950. Issues are not sold individually - for the duration of your subscription you have access to every issue in this archive.

During your subscription you can sync back issues to your device. These will remain in place if your subscription expires, unless your device removes them (for example when running low on disk space). Re-downloading issues requires a current subscription.

• Swipe or tap the page edges to flip to next/previous page. 
• Use the animated thumbnail view to flick through the pages. 
• Pinch or double-tap pages to zoom. 
• Switch between single or double-page view. 
• Search the current issue or the archive. 
• Tap any page links to web sites, email addresses, phone numbers or maps. 
• Tap contents-page links to jump to a particular article. 
• Sync back issues to your device for offline reading (requires wi-fi). 
• Network connection required otherwise. 
• Social media sharing feature allowing you to share pages with friends.
• If your institution has a magazine subscription, you can access it directly from within your registered IP range.

We recommend first running the app within a wi-fi area so it can sync the latest issue to your device - after that you can use it anywhere. Subscribers will receive new issues automatically.

Subscriptions are available within the app at the following prices:

£6.29 per month
£74.99 per year

In addition, please note the following standard features of auto-renewable subscriptions:

• Your payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions will renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Apple Account Settings after purchase.
• No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during active subscription period.

### 3/5 — Offline downloads?

*2023-12-07*

So I travel a lot and didn’t have WiFi in the plane. Before the flight I opened the Opera app and opened to view the most recent issue of Opera magazine. When we took off and lost internet connectivity it appears that the opera app only downloads a few pages. Hence scrolling through the magazine had no content. It would be great if the subscriber could select issues for offline viewing

### 1/5 — Problème de langue

*2022-01-20*

Mon anglais étant rudimentaire , je ne peux profiter de votre magazine, rédigé en anglais • pour cette même raison, j’ai renoncé à m’abonner.

### 1/5 — Cannot even download

*2013-12-05*

I have been sent a subscription as a birthday present but the app won't open when downloaded and no reply from the support team - so hard to recommend

### 1/5 — Beware! This is just magazine rental.

*2011-12-05*

Like a number of magazines available in Newsstand, this is just a rental - you're able to view the magazine for a 30-day period (for $6.99), after which time it gets wiped from your iPad, and you can no longer access it. If you bought a hard copy at a newsagent, you'd be able to keep it forever. Somehow the publishers seem to think that in the digital world people are going to be happy to keep paying to read something they've already paid for. Wake up! We're not that stupid or gullible. Apple should make this fact much clearer in the product description. If this is your business model, and you're proud of it, spell it out. Not only that, this "subscription" set to "auto-renew" - i.e. keep renewing unless your turn off auto-renew in your settings for the mag - a dubious practice from the software industry that borders on deceptive. Moreover, it's not even a creative presentation of the magazine content. It's basically a PDF dump. Save your money.

### 5/5 — Excellent alternative to the paper version

*2011-07-05*

If you regularly read this magazine and use this app on the iPad I'd say this is a great alternative. A quid cheaper than the paper version, (when you pay per issue), the pages the same size and all content and pictures in very high definition. Ok the pages take a couple of seconds to download the first time each issue, but then they're crystal clear and fast to turn over. You also get access to several years with of back issues! I'd recommend, personally.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2011-06-05*

This lousy app shows a just few slow-loading pages before requiring payment for the issue
A useless and inadequate preview
Publisher should either allow viewing of a full issue before requiring a subscription or dump this app in the trash where it belongs

### 1/5 — Really?!

*2011-05-01*

Was very excited to see an app for Operatic info & news, only to find out I was going to have to pay a subscription 'per issue' fee to read it. There are no stars or houses releasing info or interviews that I can not find on another resource for free. Why would I pay you more than I would for a hard copy on Opera Now or Opera News when I am getting lower quality photos and minute print to read? If you want readers, re-think about the target audience and what they would be willing to pay for this.

### 4/5 — Beautiful

*2010-01-31*

Beautiful presentation of this premier magazine. For the convenience of having it on the iPhone, the in-app subscription price is probably about right. 4 stars because of the inability to save text.

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2009-11-22*

Two bucks for one week?

### 1/5 — It Doesn't Work

*2009-10-27*

The first reviewer was lucky - I couldn't get any pages , blurred or otherwise.
