Cult of Mac Magazine App Reviews

All issues have been fixed and I rate this back at 5 stars. It now says Im subscribed, all issues have shown back up and the reading is great!!!! Thanks for the fix, this is totally worth subscribing to....

Articles are great, but first Id like to change the font size, secondly, I bought an issue on my mini iPad, and it wont show up on my iPad 3. I would like to order A full subscription, but Only if I can see it on all my IOS Apple devices. Please fix this. Fix these problems and you get 5 stars

Great app, great articles, but is there anyway to get back to the table of contents from the article? If there is I havent been able to find it on my iPad mini.

I am not one to write reviews, but I feel like I must for this. At $0.99 per issue (4 issues/month) OR $1.99/month its almost impossible to pass this up. Its not your traditional magazine with pages and pages of ads and other nonsense. It seems to be between 5-10 articles, all of which are written with great input. Thoughtful, useful and informative writing. I LOVE the Genius Bar section in each issue. It gives you an inside look of the thought process, a very compelling read. I am truly enjoying. Well worth the $1.99/month.

Love the magazine and podcast, but the latest edition on iOS security is not downloadable in my 64GB iPhone 5s. When opening the Cult of Mac magazine app, the purchase button just spins indicating "updating price" but never stops spinning. I have reset the app and the phone. Is there any other workaround?

This mag is a good source for mac news. Its weekly which is nice and the design is even ok. But everytime I launch the app I have to restore purchases to do anything! There is no easily accessible way to write a support ticket from the app also which is bad for regular users. Fix these things and it will be 5 star.

Emailed Cult of Mac after buying an issue and not being able to download. No answer. Reported to Apple and they were gracious enough to refund me.

As a weekly publication, I get that its hard to put a lot of effort into content design consistently, but I would enjoy this a lot better if it didnt look like a basic blog. Articles, otherwise, are pretty good. Thanks.

My first downloaded issue -- and for .99¢ ! -- for me it is right on the mark! On a score of 1 to 10 you get a 9.9 -- Thanks. I intend to read further issues !

I love the Cult of Mac magazine – when its published. It has been MIA for the past couple of weeks. Every once in a while one issue goes missing,but this is the first time Ive seen two consecutive missions missing. (Im a charter subscriber.) 5 stars for most issues. 4-3 stars for an occasional issue. 1 star for missing issues. Average = 4 stars.

Not downloading

While I enjoy the weekly article content, I am canceling subscription. Every week, multiple articles fail to load full content, cutting of both text and pictures. Im tired of paying for content Im not getting. App frequently hangs, and no apparent way to exit one issue to read another except kill the app and restart it. Done.

You would think a bunch of Apple nerds could write a magazine app that doesnt lock up or download properly. Its good info....if you actually get to read it. Lame attempt CoM! Adding on: actually worst app ever considering the source. Im no novice; I work for Apple...my kid could write more stable code.

The app’s description states “Subscriptions are Free! All subscriptions include access to all back issues.” So I tap Subscribe, and it immediately asks for money. Excuse me! I was able to download one free issue, but now I can’t find the way back to the issues screen. This app really needs some work. It’s about as hostile as they come.

While the idea for this magazine is a good one, the implementation is not! It is very difficult to download a magazine. It will take many attempts before it starts to download, then it stops. The application freezes frequently too. It is so frustrating that I decided to delete the application and will not subscribe. Too bad. I like Cult of Mac and was hoping this might generate some additional revenue for them.

I agree with "zoomey". I like at times, but the format and downloading is too clunky. So time to say bye :)

Using an iPhone 5s and it doesnt even allow downloading a simple article. Dont waste your time. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Its astounding that a tech mag could present this crappy a product. Ill bet the articles are worth reading if only you could. This is possibly the worst app Ive ever attempted to use. If youre a person who likes to be frustrated, download this app. Otherwise, assume if there is anything worthwhile they write about it will show up somewhere else.

I love this app and read cult of Mac every week and the editorial is top notch. I was waiting for the redesign and I finally got it. BUT PLEASE, go back to the old app icon that was smaller, the new one looks hideous. This is the only complaint I have with the app, otherwise it is a 5 star app, keep it up!

Despite the last issue of the old app that implores you to update and states that your back issues will be kept, after updating I only have back issues through July of this year, and I have lost all of my previous issues prior to July. Nice, huh? How can they possibly do this? Ive seen this before wth some Newsstand magazines but this takes the cake. Will be canceling my subscription and I would recommend NOT updating to the new version.
