### 1/5 — What’s gone wrong?

*2021-03-15, version 5.0*

I presume the app has been “updated and improved” .... as totally difo interface since I last looked at my sub. It’s terrible, resolution is now wrong on my iPad Pro. The pages are small and now don’t fill in the screen.... and the quality of the image that is there is terrible. If it’s not “corrected” I’ll cancel my subs. Someone needs to be fired, a sure fire way to loose subscribers and money. Let’s see if anyone cares enough to put this right. Shocking.

### 2/5 — Login ID created in app not working on web/internet

*2020-05-10*

Purchased few past issues via app after registering/creating account in app. However when I try to login in website it mentions that the email is not registered and does not allows me to login with my username/password. Please fix this bug. Otherwise the content and pricing is nice and on the spot.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2019-02-21, version 4.0*

I love the print magazine and find the app really handy. Lovely, inspiring magazine full of the latest gear and techniques. Can’t recommend enough!!

### 1/5 — Does not deliver on a time as per the contractual agreement.

*2018-06-01*

It arrives 2 months late. And that’s after complaining.

### 2/5 — Sort the resolution out!

*2014-11-15, version 3.1.4*

This is a great mag in print, but I've marked low as the iPad version is pretty much unusable. The images are all low resolution and paths on cutouts show up pixelated. This is a real shame as this could look great on iPad. I don't have a problem that it's just a 'PDF page turner' but at least make it high res. even the text pixelates when zoomed to a comfortable reading size. I won't be buying again. Sort it out!

### 5/5 — Beware

*2014-02-13, version 3.1.4*

Beware of purchasing. I brought an electronic special edition magazine. They decided to no longer publish it. I had to reset my ipad and have been told that I can no longer have what i paid for. They were not proactive in advising me of this nor did they give an immediate refund ( I want what I paid for not a refund). This seems ethically wrong. They can't just take away something that belongs to me - there is a word for this. I have cancelled my subscription.

### 1/5 — Nothing free here!

*2013-03-12*

Just a ploy to get you to subscribe to one or many different apps that cost $. Don't waste your time if you want it free.

### 1/5 — Don't waste time for it!

*2013-01-28*

I d/l last night, nothing just lots of ad. Do not d/l it. Doesn't do anything. It's just ads.

### 2/5 — app problem

*2012-12-29, version 2.5.5*

I am guessing that the developer is aware of some of the issues highlighted by other reviewers,  I would like to add that the thumbnail view along the bottom of the screen with the page numbers highlighted just shows grey boxes. I am using an ipad 3, I don't remember this being an issue on my ipad 2 when I had it.
The content on business matters is helpful, even though I am not in business, it lets you know what is required. I think some of the stuff that is offered as special issues should be included, it is getting a bit heavy on ads...

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2012-10-04*

When you see a magazine in the Free section, you expect it to actually be free. This is just a stupid app to get you to buy a subscription. Don't download it if you are expecting a free magazine.
