Worse than a PDF

The app is a very basic reader. No functionality beyond what you'd get from a PDF of the issue. Actually less functionality--this app has limited zoom capability and won't even let you highlight or copy text. No single-article view capability. No ability to save individual articles or reviews to come back to. I can get better functionality by underlining and dog-earing the print edition.

I'll start with the same statement I read in another review, "I'm not sure what the negative reviews are about". I don't get it either. Maybe they are from a few years ago but I have had no issues with the app. The magazine is clear and easy to navigate. The resolution is very high (which I love) and the quality of the writing goes without saying (the best). I have wanted something interactive to look over when I'm listening to music and this is it. Great job!

Great magazine but the app has two major issues:1. There is no function associated with easily accessing their review archive. Shouldn’t this be provided with a subscription?2. The search function provided is so limited in functionality that it can’t possibly be used to effectively search for anything. Fix these two issues and it’s five star app for me.

The coverage of recordings, with which one can always disagree, aside, the app itself is excellent. You can search the entire run of Gramophone and, best of all, most reviews link to recordings on Apple Music.
