GD Legacy App Reviews

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

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!!!

The Best

Love it but Im still waiting for my next issue!!!!!!!

Love the magazine, had a one year subscription. When it came time to renew, theyve changed it so you cannot renew for a year at $49.99 as advertised; the most you can renew for is 6 months at $28.99. I sent an email asking what happened, but never heard back. For this kind of service, I will not be renewing.

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.

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!

Now this is the future of publishing. This is fantastic!

The technical issue seems to be fixed. I was contacted by the editor about the problem. This app is state of the art and what an Ipad periodical should be. If you play guitar it is a must have!

First the app wouldnt download, they say they fixed that, but all I see are the ads and title pages for the stories, but I cant open any of the articles. And $16.99 for three issues? Seriously? no magazine is worth that. PASS. Obviously the app isnt fixed. A major let down.

At $5.99 per issue there no way I would cherry pick and the subscription is WAY more expensive than I would be offered for print. These publishers need to stop trying to make top dollar on a product that has a fraction of the overhead.

I purchased this subscription after viewing the free issue. It is very cool, but there are some short lessons and I was excepting full song transcriptions. For 54.99$ I feel as though I paid for a commercial with some cool features.

I liked Guitarist in print and love the iPad app. The interviews, gear reviews and lessons are all well done in multimedia. A well integrated iPad magazine!

this is a fantastic example of the direction magazines should go. from the come to life cover of bb speaking about playing and his life to johnny marr playing a few bars on his new jaguar model. the lessons with played examples are much more convenient to use than the cds were. i am hoping they add more content as time goes on. i could write more but spend the $6 to see for yourself if you are a guitar lover. johnnys interview and video discussion concerning his new fender makes you want to get a hold of the jag and play it for yourself. so often i see a sig model and wonder what exactly did this person do to design the axe. for this one you know and it definitely elevates your appreciation of the model. it is something that would not have come across in printed mag. yes, the mag is expensive and if you do subscribe to the print, all digital should be included parituclarly since the print version is EXPENSIVE - it was more justified when they were shipping with a cd. this is no longer the case. they have to sort this rationally and soon. for now though i am pleased to have this mag, a vision of the future of publishing. big kudos to the team who developed this. to all readers of this, please support the effort!

I am writing to tell you that the Guitarist Deluxe edition designed for iPad is wonderfully inspiring! It is like being back in school and wanting to know everything all over again! I never thought reading could be both informative AND fun! I even love the commercials with all of the videos and sound bites! When I used to read the regular issues bought at the bookstore, I would see all of the devices, amps and guitar gear within the pages of Guitarist I have wondered what must that sound like? Well, right here with a touch of my finger I can not only see it in action but get an idea of what it sounds like as well. I absolutely love it and look forward to a future of touching everything I am curious about and having my desire satisfied immediately! Great job!
