User Reviews

Users broadly praise Amateur Photographer Magazine for its content and design, but the app suffers from download/library access failures, bugs, orientation glitches, and image quality issues that undermine the experience. The core content is strong and the reading experience is good when functioning, but access problems and reliability dominate the feedback.
Pros
  • Rich, current, and instructional photography content (reviews, tips, guides, and tutorials).
  • Well-designed layout and typography with intuitive navigation (double-page landscape; single-page portrait).
  • Convenient digital format for reading a weekly magazine (portable, accessible, reduces physical clutter).
Cons
  • Download and library update errors prevent accessing purchased issues; issues cannot be downloaded after purchase.
  • General app instability / bugs that hinder reliable use.
  • Rotation/orientation glitches that reset to default vertical orientation despite lock.
  • Pixelated images or lack of retina graphics (image quality concerns).
Recent reviews
Tried to do a second issue, says the purchase went through. No way to download it. just get a preview screen. No answer from support email sent earlier today. Will update my review if problem fixed.

Tried to buy a single issue with the new owner’s app. Payment processed successfully, says you are “all set”, then shows me a preview of the issue with an offer for me to buy it; no downloading, nothing. Went through this twice, same result. Also this app has some very frustrating behavior with device rotation. Navigating back to the main page results in a return to “normal” vertical orientation even though orientation lock is on. Frustrating. What are the chances that these two things are the only major problems with the “new” app. The new owners have a long way to go before getting my money.
