Why buy or subscribe to printed magazines when a sustainable, instant service is available?Zinio is the e-magazine Apple should have bought...it's far superior to Newsstand. I have downloaded magazines from both and the only discernible advantage of Newsstand is a very slight increase in resolution of images in Newsstand, but that is at considerable sacrifice in speed of downloads. No long waits; you can begin reading the first few pages while the rest downloads. The interface is simple and efficient, in most magazines, selecting a text-only version of the page enables distraction-free reading.You can preview sample pages of much of their inventory for free, so you can try before you buy, and Zinio is often cheaper, but for us in Australia, government duties kick in which make magazine purchase more expensive proportionally than elsewhere. My local public library enables free access to Zinio editions to try out...an excellent service! The range of magazines is enormous; I highly recommend this over other e-magazine providers.

To be honest, I really love this app. with previous magazine apps. The issue is you can’t do text to speech because it is locked to PDF, as someone with ADHD text to speech is crucial. It’s like having an audiobook. Zinio has the feature to read in either PDF, or text, which allows me to use text to speech, highlight, or define the word. But I love switching to PDF when I want to read it like a true magazine or see the original paper design of the magazine. I like that they have majority of magazines on there, I read vanity fair, Vogue Australia and Vogue living, - I don’t have to download a new app every time I get a new subscription. When I have none of my issues left to read I love reading the free articles they offer from various magazines. It broadens my culture and literature, It’s nice to see how many writers there are in the world, especially when we thought print magazine was dying.

Annoyed with the latest updates to the app. The app NEEDS the option to open in the "read" pane by default, instead of the "shop" pane/view. The app seems quicker to load mags. If you had a "read offline" collection, the update deleted it. I'm not going to bother reloading any except some of the latest releases. The update coincided with a ZINIO server planned maintenance outage - an advance email would have been helpful. Love the app though, so have to live with the occasional/rare outage.March 21: Unable to see new mags in the library view. WARNING: if you re-download your mags, DON'T logout - your downloads will be wiped!! from the device.March 22: Mags not in the library can be opened in shop view, after a lot of clicks to get to it. The app is more prone to crashing while reading mags in "shop". Will it work better on a newer(and faster) iPad? Mine is just an iPad 4 from 2012.March 23: Mags no longer missing from library. Support suggested deleting the app and then reinstalling. That seems to have fixed the missing Mags issue. You'll loose any downloads, but that's a feature of updating to the new version anyway.

As a Zinio user I find this app leaves a lot to be desired. The menu is hard to find and totally illogical. There should be clear menu choices available at the home page. Currently a user can not differentiate between magazines that have been purchased, ie subscribed to, and those on offer. Every time I use the app I struggle to find what I’m looking for, which are just simple choices, like all my magazines that I’ve paid for , what I’ve archived etc. I actually dread using Zinio because I never find what I’m looking for unfortunately. The solution is I think for Zinio to do a new app product testing, and allow 50 plus brand new, genuine, “never before used Zinio” people to subscribe to a magazine via Zinio, save their purchases, find new magazines to purchase etc. This way they would identify issues immediately and this will inform a new much easier to use app. I also suggest that a new app adopt some features of the Overdrive app, used by millions of Public Library users. It’s obviously doing a lot right.
