The Magazine is brilliant...
…But the Pocketmags app is absolutely idiotic, clunky, slow and buggy. I’m actually considering cancelling my subscriptions to any magazines because the pocketmaps app is so awful. Every single update makes this app worse and worse. It freezes, it seems to seemingly delete magazines, causing me to have to download them again when you want to read them and does not make for a good reading experience... and this is on a new iPad Pro (M4 chip).
Can't believe you've got an option to delete bulk magazines in your library, yet you're forced to have to download each magazine one by one which is time-consuming and laborious.

Missing landscape mode and decent print
The missing landscape mode and a decent print and PDF export at least for the valuable sheets are slowly pushing me away from this magazine.
I use to track my practice on my own app, therefore I would also need a way to export PDFs or at least to print them.

Great idea; bad software
I was so looking forward to this publication — only to find that the app isn’t ready for prime time (in the U.S. anyway). Only two (out of approximately two dozen) attempts at reading from an issue have succeeded, because the pages won’t load properly: they’re variously . . . cut off in the middle, stretched out and unreadable, unscrollable, or simply blacked out. And there’s no help/support easily available even at the magazine’s website (nary a support mention). So I’ve asked for a full refund from Apple. Quite frustrating.

Impossible not to have in any serious library
5 Stars
Good content
Good content useful sheet music and tutorials.
However it doesn’t display correctly on my iPad Pro
Some page breaks are mixed up and text is half cut off.

Nasty Big
I purchased a special number « Piano Techniques », but it is not displayed after download. Only the slogan of pocketmags keeps displaying. Please, fix it. This behaviour happens in IPhone 11 PRO.
Love the scores that come with playing tips and recordings
This magazine has lots of great music for all abilities. I love that the subscription includes the ability to download back issues too
Brilliant
Simple - music files, videos, advice, news. Love this and helping me improve my playing.
Pianist
This app is incredible! I enjoy reading the articles but enjoy the teaching and new music at the back end of each issue, i highly recommend it for students and teachers.
Awesome magazine for beginner and advanced pianists
I have been a subscriber to Pianist for about a year now and feel that I am qualified to give a review.
There is so much to study and learn.
From a pedagogical point of view some of the articles are wonderful.
It is really inspiring to read about the various concert pianists, their backgrounds and what gave them a desire to learn piano.
The pages of sheet music are filled with great piano music ranging from beginner to advanced, and you can listen to the music also.
I have an IPad and a PC and can read/listen to the music on both devices.
From the point of view everyone who is interested in piano should consider subscribing.
PS. The publishers of the magazine have not sent me money in a paper bag to write this review :)
Best wishes to everyone. Keep well ad enjoy your musical endeavours.

Best magazine
It’s the only active magazine. It continues to inspire me and education is priceless, especially as an adult student.
Excelent
Best piano magazine and very good app. And great support service!
Freezing App
With update 6.1 the app no longer works. It freezes on startup and you can only shut it down.
Update: The team behind the app is a great one indeed. They have chased down the issue and fixed it in a few days. Now, that is professionalism. Thank you! The app now works faultlessly.

The App is broken
After update to 6.1 the App freezes and shuts down. It can't be used. Please fix this issue
Like having a piano teacher in your home!
I recently started playing the piano again after a long break and discovered Pianist magazine. And I’m so glad I did!
The app has everything I need to learn and improve my playing skills with superb how-to lessons. I love the range of scores with Graham’s video tutorials, and I enjoy seeing what music will feature in each issue. It certainly gives me plenty of variation in my playing.
Wonderful magazine. My special treat every month!

Unable to open
After downloading the app, paid the subscription, the app doesn't open!!! What am I paying for? Wasted $38 bucks!!!
Sehr angenehme und gute Darstellung
Sehr schöne Darstellung.Ich das Ganze sehr gelungen.
Gorgeous with an improvement suggestion
I love the articles, the scores and the piano learning sections.
But I would need a small improvement with the App, as the lower index appears continuously and too easily whenever I touch the screen to zoom it up.

The Best Piano Magazine on the market
If only Apple would include this magazine on their News+ app subscription. I would definitely keep my subscription, after the trial period.
Fantastic Tool
This is an amazing magazine/online help for those who are interested in and do play piano. I have recently started playing again after many years and find this a very helpful resource. I haven’t had time to fully enjoy everything in it yet but will soon. Am looking so forward to it!
