B&W Photography Magazine App Reviews

Stay away from this app!!!

This app doesnt work in the way it should be. I purchased 6 month subscription but it doesnt appeared in my account. And because of application error I purchased it twice. So, no I spent more then $40 for nothing! Id better to subscribe for paper magazine -its more expensive but I definitely have an issue if you paid for it!

Last update is terrible

Since the last update, which sounded promising I havent been ale to download the January edition in 3 days of trying. Uninstalled, reinstalled. Re-downloaded content, you name it, but this version is unusable. Disappointing to not be able to read a magazine I have paid for.

doesn

Just "downloaded " this app, and paid for it, and its not appearing on my ipad! Rip-off.

Great Mag

A great mag with wonderful images and great content.

Fantastic Magazine

Great magazine with excellent photos and content. Occasionally the app has some glitches, but the app always manages to work well.

Rip off

This is a paid app so I expected at least some actual content. There is none! Not even one free issue. Everything is an in-app purchase. Stay away!

Bigbird

Great magazine on the iPad much cheaper than buying at news stand. The magazines just download slowly

Great Magazine

I love the content. So many photo mags have little valuable content but I find this one well written with some good advice. Cheaper than the newsstand and I love increasing size of the photos on my ipad to better see the details.

Spectacular!

This is without a doubt THE best photography magazine out there (and I subscribe to several and read about a dozen every month). It is truly focused on photography, as opposed to the other 98% of "photography" publications that are slanted heavily toward software, gear or technique. Though there are a very select few product reviews (i.e. tripods, wide angle lenses) which are tested and rated in every issue the overarching theme is on photography as an art. Reviews are always to serve the greater good of the medium, rather than sheer product consumption and camera collecting. And finally, the writing. I immediately go right to Lee Frosts articles; as he is not only a stellar photographer, but an equally fine writer on the subject as well. An absolute pleasure to read his column every month. Simply put - there is no other photography magazine that comes close to the news, interviews, industry coverage, commentary (and technique, and reviews) as this UK publication. Guaranteed to entertain, inspire, educate and make you a better photographer!

Great mag

This magazine covers black & white in both film and digital...best mag on the market. Beautiful photos, great articles.

Great mag

Wonderful magazine for people interested in black and white photography.

Worst interface Ive ever seen

I spend more time fighting the interface than reading. Scrolling from page to page works fine, for example, unless of course you zoom in to read something. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. The home page is utterly useless; it doesnt even have orientation control! Half the time trying to select a magazine to read fails; you get whatever you had last time. Your "library" interface is so much trouble to find something you already have downloaded its almost not worth it. Constant "downloading" progress bars abound, and of course, trying to find a page you were reading last time is worse than finding one in an actual magazine. Too bad you cant rate something as a zero star.

Snorts!

This app imediately aborts when I tap on it.

Not the U.S. version "B&W+Color"

This is an English magazine—not U.S. I was expecting the U.S. version.

Consistently well produced

Update May 2014 just to say thanks again. When you get tired of all the hype, this is the one to center your eye. Sometimes Im really tired from shooting but Im still just so in love with my camera I want to go on being in my work. I sit in the twilight at 2 a.m. and read this. 1st review: My go-to read for the company of people who just care about photography. Its a quiet friendly magazine with straight forward commentary on technique. Always has at least one shoot whose images inspire me. Thanks!

Highest quality photography tome!

I cant believe there is not a single review for this magazine. This publication is of the highest quality with in-depth articles and excellent photography. Its dense with ideas and inspiration. I look forward to it every month. Highly recommended.

Best there s for BW content

Ive long enjoyed the print version of BW Photography and was delighted to see it available as an app. It reads easily on my iPad mini. It downloads quickly and its design makes moving through the mag super simple. The content of this publication is top notch in every single issue. If you like photography, and especially bw photography, this magazine will not disappoint.

Must read!

This is the best photography Magazine out there. Always bringing interesting articles, the new and the classic, with a poetic approach. always a pleasure to read!

10/ 10!

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).

Brilliant, Original, Well Written

Not the same old stuff. Excellent, informed, creative, original. So nice to read something that is original.
