Once installed I then had great difficulty downloading the latest edition. Although my iPad was a little full (only 3GB free), I deleted about 1GB worth of photos and tried again. This time it worked but the available free space only decreased by 0.2GB. I've no idea what was going on. Why it made me create a login I don't know, and it also asks for your age! You could lie I suppose!With the mag visible at last I found that the text was not large enough for me to read comfortably (following a double-tap). I suffer from mild dry AMD (look it up!) and have found that a high res display makes it much easier. However, this app doesn't make use of the retina display and so was very fuzzy. I also couldn't zoom in any more without letting go as it just pinged back. You should be able to resize to any desired size and leave it there. As it is a pdf, text should then still be pin sharp but it isn't. It is just an unpleasant blur.As for the content itself, it's excellent as always. There are lots daft comments here on it being vastly overpriced as if the only cost of a mag is the printing and distribution! Do these people not realise that there is a whole team who work on these mags, not to mention computers etc. They can hardly give it away free!! However, due to the poor quality of the app itself I certainly won't take out a sub until they have improved it to the point where it matches the other mags I download.

I'm astonished to read the amount of reviews from people slagging the magazine off because of the subscription fee...! It says in the description how much each mag is, and it's about 40% cheaper than the paper copy! Of course it's not going to be free - who would buy the paper version if it was?!?!?! Daft. Anyway, I'd recommend the electronic version - after years of buying the paper one, reading it, then not knowing what to do with it afterwards (and eventually just putting it with all the other old magazines I can't bring myself to throw away), at least electronically you can store it neatly on your iPad and go back to it when ever you want. If you're not happy with buying 12 months, how about just 1 issue and see how you get on with it!

Was a bit worried about downloading this app because of the poor reviews, but after installing on my iPad2 it works beautifully. I have purchased the mag on and off for over 15 years and this is a nice option to have. This app is very handy if you need to enlarge the text, a double tap and it scales up well and i didn't have any crashes etc. Ok on the thorny subject of price, in the shops its £4.75 here its £3.99 a single issue,now i don't run a publishing company so i can't question their pricing, but maybe they could add video content or app only exclusives to give more perceived value?

Worst app I have ever had the misfortune of installing on my iPad. Unable to log in after 3 months of subscribing. Contacted customer support, got answers to questions I never asked, got lied to on the telephone from customer support, and also, the odd email I get from them repeatedly asks me to describe the problem I’m having. You really are a complete useless bunch of retards at magazines direct!Contacted credit card with relevant information as I’m paying for a service that isn’t being provided, so want my money back. Just look at the more recent reviews of this app, (something I wish I had done before subscribing.) KEEP WELL AWAY FROM THIS APP!

How did a magazine with "Vision" in their name approve an app with such poor text quality? It certainly needs a retina update before I purchase any further issues but the quality is far worse than even the previous versions of the iPad were capable of.Hopefully I can update my review once we get the retina version it should've been. For now, I've going to have to buy the paper edition of a magazine I've already paid for.

First I have no problems paying for downloads from What HiFi, however the price for 1 issue of £3.99 is over priced. It would be far better to allow us to view a section of the magazine first ! before paying out ??? Also why can't What HiFi offer Free downloads for issues over 12 months old. At the end of the day old issues should be Free then maybe people would consider paying for new issues. Come on What HiFi digital downloads should not cost £3.99 in this day and age.
