Guitarist Magazine App Reviews

Ive been buying and downloading Guitarist for a year or so. The software got an - ahem - "upgrade" a couple of months ago, whereupon I lost all the purchased mags. Ive tried following all the instructions for restoring lost editions, but it doesnt work. Ive tried contacting them three times, and all three times Ive received a useless automated reply. I give up. The App doesnt work, and obviously they have no idea about Customer Service. Pathetic.

After latest upgrade my subscription is gone and does not restore. Automated reply from support, no communication and no magazine, weak weak weak.

At least have a proper size table of contents.

All the other magazine apps from the developer say the same thing. I tried a hard reset, still the same results.

Really. Dont bother. Downloaded and paid for two editions, both of which have now disappeared into the ether. Un/reinstalling the app makes not the slightest bit of difference. Is it really so difficult for them to sort this out..?

These guys will take your money then mess with the app so it doesnt work. You reload it, try to waste half a day recovering what you had, then that doesnt work either. Theyre just useless. I subscribed for a year and lost it all!

Guitarist is a terrific magazine, with great content. From interviews and product reviews to lessons, the articles are informative and helpful. Add the extra online content, and youve got a combination thats hard to beat. Id only give its sister publication Guitar Techniques a higher score because of its additional lesson and music content.

3.5GB usage j to download my second issue. Unsubscribe.. Waste of money if you use your ipad for anything else.

This app is slower than molasses in January. It is totally unresponsive. I have complained about this same thing several times and NO response or change. I love the magazine but hate the app! Guitar World isnt much better. I have full subscriptions to both, they both keep trying to charge me for issues etc. the communication with iTunes Store is pathetic. This is way below the usual Apple standards! Irritating as can be!

Used to work great now in the last 2 months just horribly slow and wont share between the iPad and phone keeps wanting to double charge me for issues Im about to take my business elsewhere

In todays over saturated market of information it nice to see a magazine that delivers great content that is relevant to guitar players.

Serious stability and performance issues in current version. Store view can take a minute or more to update, and it refreshes every time it appears. Several failures to process downloaded issues properly. This has caused system freezes that require restarting the iPad. Puzzling because the same app for sister publications like FutureMusic appear to work fine.

This app would rather push notifications at me than function properly. I have tried everything the Help section suggests, but the issue I purchased (and for which I was already billed) refuses to download. What next? Delete the app and look elsewhere.

The magazine itself is great,but the download request rarely works correctly. I have to fight with it to get every new issue. Usually ,you have to delete the app,then reinstall and hope it works. Sometimes it does,mostly it doesnt,requiring trying again. Been a subscriber for a few years,but have decided not to renew because its not worth the trouble. Good magazine....terrible interface. Recommend to steer clear until someone gets it together.

Ive not had any of the aforementioned problems. I enjoy Guitarist magazine. It is one of the best of its kind. App works, nothing fancy, but it is comparable to the Guitar Player magazine app (only the articles are better).

The magazine is incredible. The content is varied, relevant and comprehensive. The interviews are fascinating and Ive learned a TON so far. Best of all, the digital media content is local to your device after download. No connection to the internet required! I wish I hadnt splurged on the last app I bought, seeing as Im around 4 bucks away from a subscription. Needless to say, Ill be opening my first sub soon and Illbe renewing it for years to come.

Paid for content and cannot view it

I love anything having to do with Guitars...

Unable to download issues. All my other magazines are anywhere from 75 meg to 250. With this one I need well over a gig of space to even try downloading. I have 1.3GB of free space and thats not enough. Please make the downloading of media optional, like other magazines. Very poor.
