Missed opportunity. Will go back to a print subscription I think. ### 2/5 — Outdoor Photographer *2014-09-12, version 4.9.58* What a shame. I religously buy this magazine. I wanted to embrace new technology so tried this iPad version, but it is just a straight copy of the paper magazine. A missed opportunity. When will publishers realise that a computer screen is most often viewed in landscape orientation and design pages for viewing in that format. Some magazines have used the opportunity to provide an immersive reading experience, embracing the possibilities of the technology, but not here. Sorry for the kicking. What I would say is that the content is always interesting and inspirational for anyone shooting landscape or nature images. I shall be gong back to the paper version. Update. Really irritated by the magazine sending me to Facebook to log in while reading. I can't seem to find a way of stopping this happening. Thankfully the subscription is about to finish. ### 3/5 — Love the magazine, but.. *2014-07-19, version 4.9.58* Love the magazine, but the app has a hard time turning pages. It takes a couple of times of swiping before the next page comes. My other magazines don't do that so I doubt it is my iPad. ### 5/5 — Mr *2013-07-14, version 4.9.10* A brilliant mag ,inspirational and educational ,I read it cover to cover and always look forward to the next issue and the App which works faultlessly means I can store all my back issue's effortlessly ....fantastic ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-06-08, version 4.9.10* What's all the moaning about. App works great. Such a good read. ### 2/5 — Mr *2013-06-08, version 4.9.10* Downloaded and was charged but was unable to review beyond their advertisement then they asking for me to pay for a subscription. I don't trust a company does things like this. ### 5/5 — Digital inspiration *2013-05-26, version 4.9.10* As a reference point to help me improve my images, this has no equal. ### 5/5 — Great apps. Great mag *2013-05-26, version 4.9.10* Very good magazine, very informative. The apps gives me no trouble at all. Recommend ### 5/5 — Love the magazine and app *2013-05-08, version 4.9.10* Great magazine. Interesting articles. The app works well. ### 4/5 — Brill *2013-05-07, version 4.9.10* Fantastic magazine! I love every issue. I just wish they could have interactive links and videos for ipad users. ### 5/5 — Outdoor passion *2013-05-04, version 4.9.10* If you love photography and find yourself getting up early or hiking for hours to get the shot, this is your mag. Love the insights. My favorite photography mag. ### 5/5 — Great magazine *2013-05-02, version 4.9.10* App works well for me. The magazine is very readable, well illustrated and has inspirational articles. I've bought several magazines over the years and find the updated version of Outdoor to be one of the best. ### 5/5 — Outdoor Photography *2013-05-01, version 4.9.10* If you are serious about taking good Landscape, Nature, or any outdoor photographs this magazine in an invaluable tool for your learning, skill development, New projects, tricks of trade and tips to help you get more creative in getting better Photographs all-round. Peter ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Não recomendo *2024-05-02* Todos os templates são pagos. Não sei porque ainda adquiro produtos que não possuem período de teste. ### 1/5 — Mr *2016-04-10, version 4.9.92* I purchased the app and discovered that I am unable to get the online access to the magazine even though I am an annual subscriber of the hard copy. There is no apparent way of making the link and benefitting from the online view as well. Have I missed something somewhere? ### 1/5 — Needs Updating *2015-10-07, version 4.9.81* iOS9 has stopped issues downloading. They hang part way through. Please fix; as a subscriber I want to access new issues. ### 1/5 — Repeated crashing *2015-09-19, version 4.9.81* Every time I try to open a magazine or download the issue I have just purchased, or access my back catalogue it crashes. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app but it's the same. Complete waste of money. Reported to Apple. ### 1/5 — What a let down *2015-01-01, version 4.9.73* After the original app on here was excellent and worked perfectly the update has meant iv lost all my mags an the interface is bloody awful. I won't purchase hard copies again due to the space and looks like I won't have it online anymore either.. Very poor show. ### 1/5 — No Content With Purchase *2013-06-16, version 4.9.10* You are paying $2.99 just to have the ability to pay $4.99 for each magazine. You do not actually get any content or magazine for this $2.99 purchase. Would have been nice to know this beforehand. ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2013-03-24, version 4.9.10* Don't waste your money on this app. It is truly appalling. It won't even allow you to view anything. As the opening panel will not update. A major frustration. ### 1/5 — Steve briant *2013-02-14, version 4.9.4* The latest version is pants. Do not upgrade to it. I can no longer access any of the issues i downloaded. It just gives me a message about temp data, and the exits. Also, older issues of Outdoor photographer now will not load at all and just crash. If i could give it zero stars I would. Avoid to maintain your sanity. ### 1/5 — Don't buy! *2012-12-27, version 4.9.4* Doesn't work, they've effectively stole my money! ### 1/5 — No longer works. *2012-12-08, version 4.2.5* I can no longer get this app to work. Have reinstalled but am unable to login or restore my previous purchases. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best photography magazine *2024-09-08, version 7.2.10* Great magazine Well balanced in its information with great pictures Love the location pages and the wonderful insights in landscape photography ### 5/5 — Simply the best. *2021-03-26, version 6.4.0* I have had no problems at all with the app. The content is flawless, brilliant photography. It is worth it just for the artwork. ### 5/5 — A huge improvement *2018-10-22, version 6.0.0* I have read the paper version of the magazine for years and always liked it. The old app was pretty useless but the new one is a lot better and so far works well. ### 5/5 — Best app on market *2018-09-23, version 6.0.0* Have never had any problem with this app compared to other photography magazine apps ### 5/5 — Cool! *2017-04-08* Очень качественное издание! ### 5/5 — Great magazine *2016-11-24, version 4.9.99* I look forward to his arriving on my iPad every month. It's full of great articles and (of course) photos. It's always read cover to cover. ### 5/5 — The Best *2016-01-16, version 4.9.86* High production values, good and varied content, aimed at correct market segment. Range and quality of images - from both contributors and readers - is amazing. Enthrals, educates and entertains whilst promoting the best in nature and outdoor photography. Highly recommended. Whilst of no personal concern, the only real weak points are photographic equipment reviews which seem superficial and based on manufacturers' specs rather than deep and objective testing. Seems to have become rather unstable lately... ### 5/5 — The best outdoor photography magazine out there *2016-01-01, version 4.9.86* Not only are the articles fabulous, but there's a generosity of spirit in the writers of this magazine, where exact coordinates for "magical" photo places are given in every issue. I don't live in the UK, but I still love to read it cover to cover. ### 5/5 — Love the magazine *2014-07-20, version 4.9.58* Used to get the hard copy of the US magazine of a similar name, but prefer this one, maybe because the locations seem more accessible and I can probably get to them. I love the clarity of the photographs, and the articles are well written. ### 5/5 — Great Mag *2013-08-09, version 4.9.10* Had the magazine app for about 8 months, worked fine so far, no problems with downloads or viewing the magazines. Great magazine, some superb photography, good articles and the reviews are useful. Enjoy reading it on the iPad. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
