Ratings and Reviews
Love it
I've been a fan of Focus magazine for years and it has inspired several of my short stories and a couple of my novels, as well as informing a great deal more of what I do. The iPad version, however, is simply THE BEST and I love it. It's interactive, the photos are superb and the articles and features beautifully balance information with readability. Superb.
Very poor experience
Firstly let me be clear - this is a review of this app, not the content. I enjoy the content of this magazine and have been reading it for decades.
But this app is awful. In fact it’s fundamentally broken and not for for purpose. The problem is that you can only use it when online, which makes it effectively a website. Downloading a new issue takes forever, and it can’t be downloaded in the background. This means you can’t use your iPad while it’s downloading. And then once it has eventually downloaded, you have to be online to read it. Want to download an issue or two to read on a flight? Forget it. Never mind that this is something people would almost certainly want with a magazine.
The developers have known about these issues for years and have chosen not to fix them.
If you want access to this content then don’t let this review put you off. But if you subscribe I just want you to do so knowing what you will be in for. And I want the developers to be called to task.
Need to uninstall and install every time i want to read an issue
I bought heaps magazines issued for last few years and was very excited. But I’ve got an iPhone and after downloading an issue and click on read - the application just disappears. If I open the app again and trying to open new issue again the same thing happens over and over. The same happens on my iPad. Can’t get to read anything, wish I never bought it 😞
