Good mag but awful app.

By AB22 Easy Tiger (Pcmac user)

Tried to use this in landscape mode and pages were flying all over the place, completely unreadable. Switched to portrait and some pages were full screen whilst others weren’t. This is the 21st century. Getting this right isn’t rocket science.
Fantastic!

Great content every month and the problems with the lost issues are no longer a concern I noticed they uploaded from the previous years too. The Bible of Jazz!
Well, it's technically "digital," I guess...

By ChangeLeaveOrAccept (Pcmac user)

But this e-version of the app is something a 12-year old might develop, basically a straight PDF of the print edition. However, it's not even as functional as most PDF files. For example, you cannot: 1) jump to an article from the contents page 2) click on web links in the text and open them in a browser 3) annotate, highlight, copy, share, or basically do anything with the text other than stare at it 4) search the text If you want to see a good digital edition of an originally print magazine, check out Wired. Too bad we can't get the app's content in something like that. Very shoddy implementation.
A missed opportunity

By Jazz88s (Pcmac user)

How can the most renowned jazz magazine in the world create an iPad app and not include any multimedia? No music, no videos, no links. A terrific magazine -- still. But when I'm reading a CD review or a profile on the Web or on an iPad app, I want to hear samples. This is simply a PDF of the print magazine. A good read, but it could be so much more.
