App is buggy, slow, and frequently crashes

App is buggy, slow, and frequently crashes. Needs an overhaul.

Not working anymore since 8.1.1

Since the latest iOS upgrade it is impossible to launch the app. It closes as soon as you launch it. No support to contact directly to solve this issue since a month. I tried to remove it and reinstall it without any success. Could you please correct that ?!

Bug

Please, do something, i cant use My Digital edition subscription with that app version more than 5 minutes. Cant stop crashing ! Help !

Two thumbs down!!

Seriously screwed up system when theres no way to buy a single issue. Only the option to buy the $30 subscription. If theres a way to but a single issue, youve brilliantly hidden it.

Please improve

If youre not going to spend any time designing a proper magazine for the iPad, at least scan the pages of your publication in high res. if you zoom even slightly on the ipad3 the image becomes pixelated. Seriously why is a high res scan so hard??? And you cant buy single issues?????? Why? I live this magazine and have subscribed in print before, but this app is really bad, it should be a discounted version of the newsstand issue.

Completely useless

I subscribe to the yearly plan. Never been able to read any of the issues. Either the pages were blank or I was ask to login, either way I was never able to read any of the issues. Support at nxtbooks was totally useless.

Rip off!

I just bought a subscription and it didnt unlock anything. I was able to buy a single magazine and it worked fine, but buying a subscription did not give me the latest edition. Do no buy subscription. Warning warning. Do not buy subscription.

CRASHES ON IOS 8

This app is a crashing on my iPad with iOS 8 installed. Please fix this, ASC!!!

Poor poor quality app - expected more

Expected more from this app, especially coming from the circles of todays more renowned filmmakers. Not up to industry standard in terms of layout efficiency, login process for new subscribers is daunting and I cannot get access to older issues. I feel like I wasted my $35, and should be fully refunded. There is no credible link for new subscribers to gain access to Login forms and sign-up. I still havent figured it out. Boooooooooo. Miles.

Always Starts Crashing

App starts, app crashes. I rarely use this app because its so buggy, after a couple of clicks, it crashes! Better off really because Ill read the magazine instead.

Great magazine

I would love to give this five stars but the magazines need to be updated for retina displays. Also the addition of bookmarks would be welcomed.

Excited for this, but...

Ive been waiting for this magazine to show up for ipad. I read it faster than usual, however... Even non-retina displays have really pixilated fonts.

Good but can be great

The magazine content wise is great for anyone who is interested in shooting and directing films. However I think they cold make the experience great if they add retina display support, a way to bookmark the pages and have a few links to video in every issue. This could be interviews or short examples of the scenes that the cinematographer talks about.

Magazine awesome, app needs work

The magazine itself is awesome! But the app needs work. On both retina and non retina iPad the fonts are pixilated (noticed this on my friends iPad). Also when I subscribed it bugged out and I cant download the recent release. All the past months are available fore to buy but september is blank. I wanted to read the day I bought but Im still waiting for it to get fixed. Payed $30 and cant read my subscription yet. Its very annoying. Hope they fix this app soon or I definitely wont be renewing.

Disappointed app and service

Very bad apps and no respond from the publisher to fix the problem, until now I cant read September issue, I really wasted $30 for nothing.

Bad App

The magazine itself is great, but the app is not working properly. I´ve been subscribed for two months now and each time I want to download a new magazine I just can´t or the cover doesn´t show on the cover browser. Fix the app please!!! it´s very annoying!

Amazing Mag, Terrible App

Excited to see the mag come to the iPhone iPad. Im an assistant camera and have been working in the business for 5 years. But very displeased with the way the magazine is handled. Each page should fit to the screen with no zooming to read text and illustrations still visible, much like Wired Mag. I know its new so Im giving them time. However, if they dont fix I will be calling the distributor to turn it into a hard magazine edition. Sorry, just terribly executed on ASCs part!

Spend $30 get nothing

I read this magazine religiously. I love the print version, but knowing that it digital on the iPad. I can bring multiple copys with half the weight. So I subscribe to it. And cant even read a full copy says needs password. If I could give it zero stars I would. Very disappointed.

Sad

Saddly i cant put cero stars. I love the mag analog. But the digital just dont work. 30 dollars of wasted space in my ipad. And my wallet. Need redesigning. I cant see any of the magazines. Just stays lunching. Dont waste your money until they fix this.

Formatting for iPhone horrible

The formatting for the iPhone makes it almost unreadable. The resolution is very low.
