MacLife is one of my first magazine (apps?) experiences within Newsstand. It's working well generally. I response time is good. New issue load time is long - not something to do just before leaving the house or a Starbucks. In-magazine navigation is intuitive for the most part, with helpful cues (and the initial help screen is handy), but sometimes there is a sense of too many different ways to reveal another page or section. Maybe I need to get some practice! In the end I can read the content, share it and that's most important.I will add that going back after a break to an open mag can be frustrating with having to start in the library screen and wait a long time for the mag to open- fortunately on the page you were in. Make the app smarter and snappier!
Looks (AND WORKS) FANTASTICALLY On My iPad Pro
AppPERFORMANCE
MacLife was the one magazine I would still buy in print form in the grocery store, as I really like the content and look. But, for less than the cost of two print issues (which is still true, I think), I can get an entire year. And, with the Retina display on the large iPad Pro, it seems to actually look BETTER than the print version. And, of course, there’s also all the capabilities that come with an “active” publication (like links and such).Plus: I have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE as to where all these other reviewers are getting these problems! They must be using a different app or something! ;) Seriously, though, I’ve actually NEVER had a problem with the app itself, or with the purchasing of issues! Plus, I’ve just turned 60 years old, with my brain and memory getting worse and worse, and I’ve been able to read issue after issue with (LITERALLY) ZERO problems.So, this app is ABSOLUTELY AND VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Content, great. Delivery, meh.

Updated review: This is 5-stars all the way. The content is useful and multi-level. The editor during the late 20-teens and early 2020s really turned it around. The writing is much improved (the grammatical and other mechanical issues prior to his arrival made reading it much less enjoyable) and the content is interesting and varied. Well worth the price.
Content good but hard to view
Rusty629
I enjoy the content of the magazine but wish I could view it full screen and would be even better if it allowed landscape view. Portrait mode used to be full screen but now has a large black border making it smaller and harder to read. Please make it more user friendly and allow us to enlarge the picture, print and ability to view in portrait mode. You might sell more prescriptions if you made your digital subscription easier to read by those of us over 40.
We've refreshed the styling of article view and made some improvements to the usability of the app.
