Hi-Fi News App Reviews

Hard to believe, but the new app is even more unstable and temperamental than the previous one, while adding nothing in terms of meaningful features, performance, or improved navigation. Moreover, it installs in parallel to the previous app, rather than replacing it, so you end up with both apps. To add insult to injury, while the new app "knows" which issues you have purchased, it can not access them (even though your old app still can, i.e. they are still "there" on your ipad), so you end up having to download all content again. The re-download is painfully slow and unreliable, regardless of your internet speed (pocket mags must be too stingy for anything except the narrowest bandwidth). This last problem also affects the old app, of course. In summary, forget about this "new app"/"upgrade" until the stability issues are solved - BTW it took a good 9 months for the previous app to achieve a modicum of reliability, so dont hold your breath in terms of rapid fixes for the new app. In the meantime stick with the old app. As a last observation: if download speed and remaining issues in old app (and all the issues in the new app) are not fixed soon, I will not be renewing my electronic subscription to Hi-Fi News.

Mag and content are first class. The app is still steerage class.

Top-notch customer service. And so much more convenient (not to mention cheaper) than either an international subscription or trying to find a copy at the not-so-local Barnes and Noble.

Easy to use. A nice way to read less common magazines.

Always look forward to the next issue. App works well, downloads quicker with the new update.

This is hands down the best audio magazine I read. Great equipment reviews and great record reviews. I look forward to every new issue.

Great magazine for Audiophiles read ‘‘em and weep!

Excellent articles and reviews that I find more enjoyable and informative than the two major publications from the US.

I love the content of this mag. In my country digital print is the only option. So the app is the only way.

On iPad Pro. Have tried removing and reinstalling a number of times with no success. Please advise.
