User Reviews

Reviews praise useful, up-to-date Mac content and readable, on-the-go access, but repeatedly complain about the digital-only format replacing print, loading and stability issues with new issues, and limited reading/viewing options (portrait-only with black bars, no full-screen/landscape). Access to purchases and library content, plus support, are also inconsistent. Overall value hinges on reliability and device-friendly formatting.

Pros

Useful, multi-level Mac/Apple content with practical tips.
Clear, helpful, direct, and informative writing.
Content feels up-to-date and well-edited with varied topics.
Accessible on-the-go reading for Mac enthusiasts.
Strong Mac-focused tips and automation guidance.

Cons

Digital-only format feels inferior to the print version.
New issues often stuck in queue or fail to load.
Purchases/library access isn’t reliable and refunds/support are inadequate.
Reading/viewing is limited by portrait-only mode, black borders, and lack of full-screen/landscape.
Update-related usability issues and UI formatting changes.

Recent reviews

Nice, easy to read and follow Mac and Apple tips and suggestions. Also relevant product reviews.

Updated review: This is 5-stars all the way. The content is useful and multi-level. The editor during the late 20-teens and early 2020s really turned it around. The writing is much improved (the grammatical and other mechanical issues prior to his arrival made reading it much less enjoyable) and the content is interesting and varied. Well worth the price.

I realize this is just the sign of the times, but I wish they hadn’t killed off the print version. Digital versions are just not the same as purchasing a tangible, physical magazine that can be read in any situation regardless of your device’s battery percentage. 👎👎
