Just some minor polishing would be appreciated, but the overall magazine content and UI for the magazine reader is phenomenal. Highly recommend read for any level of photographer. ### 5/5 — New device *2019-07-03* I have many subscription apps that work well when you get a new device. This one doesn’t. Is the only option to cancel? The developer was able to provide instructions that worked to resolve the issue. Thank you. **Developer response:** Hi there, the subscription definitely still works when you get a new device. If you follow the instructions at the link below, you will be able to restore your subscription/previous purchases to your new device: http://photographymc.com/support/restore/ ### 5/5 — Terrific interactive photo mag and app! *2019-06-18, version 7.15.11* Great! ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2019-06-09, version 7.15.11* Love it!!! :) ### 5/5 — Photography Masterclass *2019-06-01* Great magazine look forward to each issue pack with grate tip and pictures ### 5/5 — Love love love it! *2019-01-19* So far I am super impressed. The information has been very valuable, and the interface is smooth and intuitive. ### 5/5 — Great magazine *2019-01-03, version 7.15.11* I stumbled across this by accident but was really pleasantly surprised. Great informative magazine and really good price. Would certainly recommend ### 4/5 — Great Content So Far *2018-11-16* I used to read Popular Photography until they closed their app. So far, this has been a better and more exciting magazine and app about photography. I didn’t give it 5 stars yet because I’m just beginning to read it. It seems not to resume where I left off. Let’s see if that corrects itself or if it’s a setting I have yet to figure out. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-10-08* I had zero problems with the Photography Masterclass app. Every time fast downloads and excellent viewing. Truly a pleasure to work with. And some of the most informative photography magazines I have ever come across. My rating is 5 stars 6 moons and a couple of universes! ### 5/5 — High quality and very informative! *2018-08-15* The photography is outstanding. The “how to” and “inspiration” articles are first class. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2018-07-28, version 7.15.11* Great magazine. Informative and inspirational. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2018-07-12, version 7.15.11* Extent articles of photography ### 5/5 — Awesome App/Magazine *2018-06-20* I love this the photos are brilliant and more importantly, the tips and tutorials are simple yet powerful! I love the interactive articles that include video as well...Magazine reading will never be the same again! ### 4/5 — Great information and nice layout *2018-05-31* My only problem was with the app as I was constantly getting a message that an upgrade was available but I was not able to upgrade. Many months later: Seems that problem has gone away now. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2018-05-30* My favourite magazine. Look forward to each edition ### 5/5 — Photography masterclass magazine is tops! *2018-05-28, version 7.15.11* If you care to learn,your camera and your photographic skill can all be enhanced by this magazine,excellence in learning....Jp ### 5/5 — Really good magazine !! *2018-05-16, version 7.15.11* Very smart magazine with some tutorial well made ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed, *2018-04-28, version 7.15.11* I like the content of this magazine but the app is rubbish. I had to reinstall the app and nowI can’t recover my previous purchases. The support is not very efficient either. ### 1/5 — Good luck unsubscribing *2015-12-23, version 7.6.2* I've been trying to unsubscribe for a year and wouldn't recommend downloading the app unless you want them to charge your account forever. ### 1/5 — Broken *2015-09-20, version 7.6.2* Great magazine, but issues cannot be downloaded, nor purchases restored on my new iPad mini 4 with iOS 9. ### 1/5 — Needs many improvements. *2015-02-16, version 7.6.1* I subscribe to several digital magazines through iTunes. The app for this magazine is less interactive than the others I subscribe to. Also, the content is not as advanced as I'd hoped. ### 1/5 — Rate this app *2013-08-09* I gave this app 1star rating because I'm sick and tired of being bugged about rating it. There! I've rated it. Stop bugging me every time I open it to read a magazine I paid for. ### 2/5 — Crashes... *2019-07-15* This app crashes nearly every time I open it. I have to close out and re-open. I consider my time to be quite important! ### 2/5 — Videos etc not accessible white off-line *2018-11-27* There are always great videos, but they demand internet connection and so it makes the magazine non usable during the only time I have to read them (flights, trains, and cars while I am traveling). Those videos should be available off line, protected against downloads out of the e-magazine and market has several solutions for it. ### 2/5 — Great Mag - multiple problems with missing issues *2015-10-02, version 7.6.2* The mag is great and the App is great when it works but unfortunately, I have had to restore me purchases several times and most of the time it doesn't work as described. For example, with this last iOS 9 release, once again it lost my subscription and all issues need to be restored individually. Unfortunately, and inexplicably, only the mid portion of my subscription is available for restoration - the first several issues (I was a charter subscriber) are not restoring and show the "Buy" label instead as to the most recent several issues. ### 2/5 — Rotation problem *2014-05-11* Excellent content. The screen rotation is bizarre. It is not possible to view full screen and it turns upside down for no reason. What a shame, such a good magazine but difficult to use. ### 3/5 — Meh not impressed *2016-02-10, version 7.6.2* The articles seem great but I can't get into any of them having to pinch and zoom constantly to read them. It should have a easier reading option. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Worth it! *2026-06-17* Love this mag! The diversity and in depth reporting/sharing of amateur to professional photographers is exceptional. I especially appreciate the many refreshing ideas presented throughout the magazine on a monthly basis. I highly recommend a subscription or via your public library. It will challenge your photography while encouraging you to try new aspects of this sport. Go on Safari with Photography Masterclass Mag. You won’t be disappointed. ### 5/5 — Practical information from novice to professional. *2024-07-04* For the past 18 months, I've been immersed in Photography Masterclass magazine. Despite being a professional photographer, I understand there's always more to learn across all aspects of photography, from portraits to astrophotography and everything in between. This magazine offers practical, usable information that cuts through the noise. Unlike YouTube and other online publications that often push products or self-promote, this magazine prioritizes genuine learning opportunities. It's a refreshing and reliable source of information that I truly value. Lou Fasullo Photography Fort Langley, BC, Canada ### 5/5 — Photography masterclass magazine is tops! *2024-03-27* If you care to learn,your camera and your photographic skill can all be enhanced by this magazine,excellence in learning....Jp In my learning stages. Over 60 years and more,I’ve developed not a lot of knowledge until recently…I buy books and magazines,but if I repeat the same mistakes 100 times over and over I’ll never learn. So forget all this years of practice. I am learning and doing now! Read and watch ,carefully focus on content and topic,I am really excited to be gaining the knowledge I’ve known I needed a long time. This PMM is everything I needed. So grateful. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great Investment In Your Photography - Go Pro *2024-02-06* Signing up for the Pro Subscription is one of the best investments in my photography that I’ve made. There are a ton of Gems and tips you can learn from the current and many back issues. You’ll never stop learning, if you have the extra cash for a lifetime subscription, it is an investment in your future photography. I find the articles well written with enough details for everyone, and the photos that accompany the articles are exquisite! I enjoy the photos as much as the article they accompany. Almost every genre of photography is covered in the pages of Photography Masterclass. You should take a look! ### 5/5 — Excellent mag and a great app *2023-04-27, version 7.42* This is the only photography magazine you need. Great and varied content with an awesome back issue library. App is easy to use and seems very reliable. 10/10. ### 5/5 — Photography Masterclass *2019-12-11, version 7.15.12* A great resource for all your photography requirements. Extremely well put together and very readable from start to finish. I would highly recommend this on line magazine for anyone looking to buy a subscription. I wish to send my thanks to photography Masterclass for such a good magazine. ### 5/5 — No other mag like this *2019-11-23* This is by far the best and most interesting photography magazine out there. I found a copy of the magazine at a hole in the wall deli. I asked to read it and the owner said sure but bring it back. That was many years ago. Since I never can find it in the stores - I had to download it on my iPad. None the less I find it exactly what I am looking for. Excellent photos with the specific shooting info, short interviews and A bit of equipment conversation. Perfect! ### 5/5 — The Best Photography Magazine! *2019-10-19* I’ve read several books on photography, as I’ve strived to learn the field of DSLR cameras and the world of digital photographic arts. Photography Masterclass Magazine (PMM) presents an excellent mix of information to really help you to elevate your knowledge and skill. ### 5/5 — Great!! *2019-10-10, version 7.15.12* Best magazine for photography. Insightful, inspiring and fun. ### 5/5 — By far My favorite *2019-08-27* I love this magazine. The wide variety of topics makes this a read that everyone can enjoy and learn from. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
