Pros and cons of Fly Tyer Magazine app for iPhone and iPad
Fly Tyer Magazine app good for
Good app, although it is strange to subscribe for a year of four issues for $19.99, when I can buy the four issues individually for $2.99
Great have been buying the magazine for years and this is even better with all the links.
The font is pretty small, and I have good eyes. You can of course enlarge it. The good news is there is a lot of info in just one issue, I often return to the same issue several times.
I have subscribed to the mag for 20 years. The app is excellent. High quality
Been a subscriber of the paper version for a long time. I love the fact that now I can blow up the pictures to see details paper can not show.
I love the magazine but to have it on iPad is the best! I can zoom in on the pictures and get all the details much clearer and better then the mag.
Some bad moments
Bought The 2010 Winter issue and couldnt download/open it! Also sent an email complaining about it and so far FT didnt solve the problem.
I have paid twice for the same mag ,been charged for a mag I can,t read and get a blank screen every time I try to view downloaded mag.Rebooted app many times with no luck.Wasted my time and money.This is the only rip off I,ve had since I had purchased my IPad and apps
Lost all my books . And can not restore them . I have tried everthing . but nothing works USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Short story:
The content of Fly Tyer Magazine is excellent, with content that makes me a better more knowledgable tyer. However, this app is unreliable. It gives you two options for reading the magazine: downloading or viewing online. If I download issues I will usually open them to a grey screen and a frozen app. If the issue does open I usually only get the one read before I get the grey screen. The grey screen will persist until the app times out or I force quit it. When the app is usable again the issue that crashed will have a spinning wheel over it and will be inaccessible. Being the sporting kind I said, "whatever, Ill use the view online option." While the issues do reliably open they seem to be on a shutdown timer. If I use them for about five minutes (I havent actually timed it but I bet its pretty consistent) the app just crashes. Return to the app and I have to go back a find my place....only to have it crash again. I have several times tried to delete and reinstall the app only to have the problems persist. Would love to read this magazine but the app seems determined to keep me out.
I can honestly only give a single star rating due to the horribly poor app. I lost my ability to log in this past March of 2012 and have only been able to resolve the issue today, August 21, 2012. I had completely given up on the mag and only tried "one more time" after receiving a renewal notice. The content of the mag is good, but the app and follow through of customer service completely discredits any "positives" for the mag.
Im using the app on a 1st gen iPad. This app crashes often when Im opening it. I have had to reinstall it several times and subsequently reinstall all my mags. Its hung several times while downloading the mags. I love the content, just am very disappointed in the app. Its reflecting poorly on an otherwise good company.
