What no more video? !

Snipe writer

I read this on my iPad. For a while they were doing more and more videos that I could watch directly from the digital edition on my iPad. This latest issue. There were 2 as opposed to an issue a couple of months ago where there were more than twenty. This was my favorite, but if there’s not going to be how to videos that can be easily accessed on my iPad, I may cancel my subscription. For a moment I thought CM looked like the future of digital magazines - that is no longer true.

Mediocre magazine focused on gear and ads

RNP2016

Skip if you’re looking to actually learn. 80% of this magazine is ads and intended for you to keep sinking money into gear rather than skills. Free videos on YouTube are 40x better.

Exceptional Content. Terrible App as of iOS 12

The quality of the content and videos/downloads is 5/5. The app itself is terrible. It constantly quits, lags and freezes on my iPad Pro. It will not even open as of November 20 2018

Dirty underhanded app

kenny da man

It wont let me read mags Ive purchased in my library that I downloaded. Instead I always get a pop-up asking me to subscribe or buy more. Why woukd I buy more issues if I cant read the ones i already bought? And no, I dont need the monthly subscription...

Needs a lot of work

So I just bought the catalog of issues going back 10 years, and while the content appears to be most excellent, this app is trash and brings the whole CM team down to dog s@&#t level. For the love of God, give us a way to read issues on a mac please; otherwise, I’m stuck with either iOS app where the layout is trash on phone, and text is too small, and there’s no way to search for issues, on the phone the issues in the library tab aren’t even labeled by month/number, the ipad app does actually list the month/number when scrolling through issues, but even on the 12” ipad I’m having trouble reading issues comfortably, pinch zooming to read is trash because the text layout is fixed, so not likely to pick up a monthly sub until changes to these usability are addressed. And what is with the

Cant buy the content

bolmanAgain

Dont bother with this, it wont let you purchase any content. Every magazine i attempt to buy ends in an error. Didnt try a subscription, maybe there will be better luck that way

Inspiration

7letterstud

Always a great source of inspiration to get something going and learn and practice. The muses don’t always visit, but when they do, they better catch you working. And the lessons and tutorials here are great starting points. Super glad the app is here. The filo site to download accompanying material is pretty slow though....

Can’t even log in!

Kirkosphere

First I had problems with this app on iPhone. Now with my iPad Air I can’t even log in anymore. Have barely used this sub. Freezes up and ghosts password input. I see others with similar problems. If this continues past today, I’m demanding my $ back from Future Publishing, CM ?

The Best

theGisME

Computer Music magazine has always been the best! Great tips and instructions for making and mixing music! Love having my magazines digital now so that I do not have to worry about wearing out the pages of my favorite issues!

Beware monthly subscribers of extra charges

mikeg1307

I’m been a monthly subscriber though this app ($2.99/month) but when I download the latest issue, it sometimes tries to charge me $4.99 for regular issues as if I hadn’t subscribed. Once I clicked download too hastily and I was effectively charged twice for the same issue ($2.99 and $4.99). I wish they’d fix this glitch, and stop the overcharge.
