Latest reviews of SFX magazine app for iPhone and iPad
First magazine from the newsstand i really like
The magazine is excellent, but the app is awful. Downloading is tricky and unreliable, and it eats memory even if you archive old issues.
Crashing on startup on iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1
I like the content of the magazine. The app itself is mediocre. The issue I read seems to be nothing more than a series of scans turned into .pdfs collated into a magazine. This is an opportunity to take the concept of the magazine to the next level, and most publishers are swinging and missing on this. The price isnt too bad considering how expensive sci-fi mags can be in dead-tree format. *** People! Do not give the app a one-star rating simply because the issues are not free. Its a magazine published by a real company, not some fly-by-night outfit. Rant over. ***
Ive only bought two SFX magazines with this app but both times I tried to buy an issue, it gives an error two or three times before it finally gives in and downloads the magazine. And this second time, it immediately deleted the issue before I could even open it for memory reasons. I have plenty of memory (well over 7 GB) available and I have practically nothing running in the background. How big is this magazine, anyway? It appears to have also deleted, without my knowledge or consent, the first issue I bought and it doesnt look like it will be able to restore it (it says that I only have one issue able to be restored so one issue is in the wind. It better not be the new one). For the one issue I was able to actually read, the magazine is very good but having to magnify and move the screen around all the time to actually read it made me seasick. Im not impressed with the app so far but hopefully they can fix it. They have two strikes so far as Im concerned.
