B&W Photography Magazine App Reviews

... awesome!!!

Great photos, great articles

Look forward to each issue. Focused more on images than equipment. Quality work.

Excellent articles with a broad view of covered subjects. Thoughtful writing and beautiful images when read on iPad. More technique oriented than most American produced magazines (is about photography and not endless equipment pitches or pixel peeping approach).

Gives me what I need fast.Great contrast.

While I have read only several articles, most of which were informative, I do NOT like the portrait only mode of this magazine. I will not buy more issues till landscape is available!

Ugh !!! Should have waited for reviews.

One of my very favorite photo mags, conveniently on my iPad...what could be better? Ive got all the great articles, features and photos I usually purchase from the newsstand each month now at my fingertips. This is a terrific app, and Ill be purchasing more editions in the future.

I noticed a couple of comments here about portrait only mode and wanted to chip in. I bought it anyway and was pleasantly surprised to find that its landscape in the landscape orientation and portrait when the iPad is portrait. Very happy to have access to this magazine, something that is very difficult to find in the US and is very expensive when you do.

Have bought this magazine for years, always enjoyed it. You have to download the app, then you can order the magazine (you get one free copy for downloading the app). Each copy is like $4.99 and they give you a deal if you want a 6 copy subscription, etc. Easy to download and use, you can view in portrait or landscape, I have an iPad 1 and have not had any problems with it. This magazine is hard to find in the U.S., unless you go to Barnes and Nobel, or some other big box news stand, etc . Looks great on the iPad and you can pinch/zoom. The pinch/zoom does get a little crazy (do it slow) or it zooms up real fast. If you lay it down (the iPad), the application (magazine), flips like a real one. Well worth the time/money.

Im glad it was only $2.99. The overall concept is fine; it feels like a magazine. The problem I have is the font...its fuzzy when you make the page bigger. Theres no way Im going to read an article with small, fuzzy font. Also, and this is somewhat minor, but you cant do anything while an issue is downloading, it doesnt do it I the background, so you have to sit. And wait for a couple minutes while your issue downloads...if you try to do anything else the download is suspended. Fix the fuzzy font problem and I will consider a subscription.

They should pay us to read this, its mostly ads with very few photos or articles. Not pleased.

This app constantly crashes after moving away from the splash page, and yes I did delete it and re- load as recommended in the support FAQs. I have an original 64 gig iPad with over 10 gig of free space running OS 5. Dont waste your money until the problems with this app are fixed.

Error states internet connection not working despite same connection allowed me to successfully download app, free magazine and post this review,

So you have to reload the app every time you want to use it? It crashes every time, so dont buy it, because you will get jipped!

Works fine occasioally, then displays a black screen when you try to access a magazine. After the latest iOS update, its all just black screens now. Good magazine, but poor implementation of the app causes me to look elsewhere for articles and materials. The Internet is big with a lot of information, you just have to search more.

You would think that based on the feedback from previous readers the publisher would update the app. They havent. The app constantly crashes, allthough it delivers nothing more than a digitised version of the magazine. After reading a few pages, all I get now is a black screen. Have to close the app and login again to continue reading the next few pages until it happens again. Highly frustrating!

One of my favorite magazines for black and white photography. Great articles and photography. The digital format is great.

Everything seems pretty great. All the major issues from the last version are fixed

Bugs like crazy. App shuts down constantly, takes a really long time to load with no indicator as to what its doing.
