ZINIO - Цифровые журнал‪ы‬ 17+

Still the best magazine reading experience on the Internet

I have always liked the Zinio functionality for reading magazines: there was one standardized method for traversing and reading the issues regardless of publisher. Now with the tablet age upon us -- ushered in by the ingenious and innovative Apple iPads -- Zinio now offers two different repertoires for reading and traversing magazines: the original (in which pages can be stretch-enlarged), and a newer one for magazines that want to offer videos and more sophisticated interactions (but where pages cannot be stretch-enlarged). And having all of one's purchased editions available in the Zinio cloud means that one can read issues on different devices depending on one's location. At home I enjoy reading my Zinio magazines on the big iMac desktop, but when traveling on an airplane, the iPad or the laptop are the way to go. Sometimes I've even read articles in Zinio's Text mode on my iPhone when in doctors' or dentists' waiting rooms. The back-lit photography in magazines on these devices is always stunning. Bravissimo!

Corrupted Device Limit

I have updated my rating to four stars because Zinio support responded fairly quickly and reset my login. If/when Zinio implements a method for logging out of unknown devices without having to log in, the app would be worth another star. I’ve always appreciated Zinio’s interface and reliability, but there has to be a way for the customer to do this without having to contact customer service and wait for a response. I have other apps, like McAfee’s, that will allow me to do that.

Previous review follows.

I am logged into Zinio on exactly one device (my iPhone), yet I cannot access my library on this device (it states that I have no subscriptions). I tried logging into my account from my laptop, but it informs me that I have exceeded my device limit. If there are no tools available to correct this error, then this service is useless. I rated two stars because I have had literally hundreds of subscriptions through Zinio over the past decade or so. I can still use my Zinio Unlimited subscription, but what about my past issues? I am extremely frustrated by this bug/issue, and Zinio’s “Help” is no help.

Love Zinio!

What more is there to say about an app which allows you to carry your magazines around with you. I currently subscribe to 5 electronic magazines and they are all right there when I want them. No more lost magazines or looking all over the place for them. I always check to see if there is an electronic version when renewing a magazine. Is it perfect? No because all my magazine don't come in electronic form. Hopefully they will eventually.

There are a few enhancements I'd like to see. I'd like to be able to bookmark my position with a label and possible underline things. When you read a great article in an computer magazine it would be nice to find it some months later without reread several magazines and then having to reread the entire article for two lines. Until that happens, I still keep the paper copies that subscription provides me.

I currently use Zinio on my iPhone and iPad. It gets the most use on my iPad, but I have several smaller magazines which are perfect on my iPhone when it needed.
