Takes too long to load

I love FM magazine so I bought a single issue (march 2012). Each page takes about 6 seconds to load. It makes reading a chore as every time you turn the page you need to wait a bit before reading. Sound On Sound does it much better & their mag is actually interactive. FM is simply scans of the print version. I'd rather pay a lot more for a physical copy in a store then try reading this on the iPad.

Disapointing

You'd expect to be able to tap on an story title in the table of contents and be zoomed to the article of your desire. Nope. As well, all url's within stories are not hyperlinked. And, there is no sound coming from the embedded videos. I want this iPad version of the magazine to work and be the interactive experience it should be at nearly $5 a pop. Hurry up!

Rip off

This company charged my account for an "Automatic Renewal" without any such notification or agreement. I got a refund from Apple, but now when I try to read magazines I did pay for, Future Music mysteriously crashes and will not let me in. I've had lots of incidents with this company. Don't subscribe they are just a rip off!

Not bad but....

The Content of FM Magazine is very good but, just the PDF is for 5,99$ is quite expensive. You could take CHIP as a model, which has got a lot of animations and a much clearer menu than this is. On top of this their menu looks much more modern

Nothing's Free

Magazines are never free. This magazine has a wealth of information, reviews, rating and videos. If you buy it at the store it more expensive. The amount of info inside this mag far out weights the $5.99 price. DO NOT be detoured by the habitual whining of the large population of Apple owners. I once read a 2star review on a hard drive, the reviewer loved it but gave it 2stars because it didn't come with a white USB cable to match his pretty little setup. You can read more on the Apple Store web site. I'm sorry I digressed but this Apple-whining is outta control.

Excellent Magazine

MrTimDuluth

Most of the one star reviews are because the app only acts as a storefront to purchase the magazine, thus the magazine itself isn't free. You have got to be kidding me. It says very clearly in the description how much each issue costs, and frankly, this package is worth every penny. It certainly beats paying the $16 newsstand price in the US! Thanks FM!!!

Where is the content?

NunUther

They could've used any number of methods to make the contents of the discs available... And I expected them to. They did no... Not web login, iTunes U content, internal sharing with iTunes... VERY lame and a deal breaker. Fix it and receive a better rating. Just sayin'.

Great

extra_medium

The full mag, plus all the videos built right in to the articles at less than half the price of buying it at the news stand. All the samples are downloadable too. Those complaining that its not free either have never read this magazine before or simply live in a fantasy land.

Bad App, worse customer feedback

jerry592

i made the mistake of buying a yearly subscription, but now, after going thru IOS updates (which deleted all my purchases), i have been unable to get my back issues or any new ones. After multiple emails, all i got was automated responses, with instructions on how to restore,......well multiple attempts do NOT work, and worse yet I cannot get any feedback to get this subscription to work. Do not buy the year subscription

Won't download my purchase

Currently useless

I purchased the latest issue. It got hung up downloading and just says waiting. When I close the app and re-open the purchase button is back. When it try to purchase it tells me I already own it and gets hung up on waiting again. So far it is unreadable which makes this app currently useless.
