Pros and cons of GD Legacy app for iPhone and iPad

GD Legacy app good for

Wonderfully built. A real e-magazine for once. Very user friendly and with multimedia content.

This magazine app is better than the print copy with video embedded it makes it easy to watch.

if this is the first number the future will be wonderful, this app is great. you were the best in print, you are in the digital world too , period.

Some bad moments

All my purchases are gone. Got a auto-respond email with tips to recover, but nothing works. Hopefully there will be a QUICK update to solve the issues!!!

I just discovered that deluxe edition DOES NOT include all the content of the printed mag, and this, for 4.99 euros is NOT ACCEPTABLE in my opinion. It is not even mentioned clearly when you buy. Thats why I give only one star.

But works quite bad for the downloads... how come I need more than 1Gb of free space to download a 314Mb issue? And it stops everytime i "close" the app... Annoying

This is probably the best digital magazine implementation Ive used for iPad. Many magazines simply provide images of the actual magazine pages. Because magazine pages are much larger than the iPad screen, they are a nightmare to use because you have to constant zoom in, zoom out and pan. The Guitarist Deluxe magazine iPad-version is DESIGNED for the iPad rather than PORTED to it. I would say the iPad version is superior to the print version because it is highly interactive and fun to use. Instead of having to refer to CD contents, you can just tap on different parts of the screen. Screen rotations are also used to great effect and reveal different content. Even the advertisements are fun to view and I found myself interacting with them. This should be good news to advertisers and the finances of the magazine publisher. Many iPad versions are more complicated to use than their print versions; however, the Guitarist Deluxe is the opposite. It uses technology to make things easier and better than the print version. I just hope their other magazines also integrate the cover mounted material as much of the value of Future Magazine publications come from that content. If so, they will be getting subscriptions from me. Well done! And 5 stars!

Wow. Biggest pos Iive ever read. Not worth it if you pad me.

This is a really great interactive version of this magazine. I love guitars and guitar gear. This is such a great way to interact with both gear and artists. the interview with Joe Bonamassa is really cool. You get to see an inside view of his home, his guitars and his creative process. Great blend of text and video throughout. Not to mention the cover. How cool is that. Normally, I am not a big ad person, but with guitars and guitar related gear I often want to look them up online to see and hear them This gives you that in one location. Well done!
