Not great
This app worked fine for me, but the content isn't good enough to warrant buying further issues. Bit disappointed.

First rate - delighted
The negative comments on here are without foundation,in my opinion, from folk with an axe to grind, or maybe they expect it to be free? This is a great App and brilliant magazine! I am thoroughly enjoying it! Highly recommended!

It works well for me
On first run it closed unexpectedly. After re-opening I was able to download the complimentary issue and three previous issues with no problems whatsoever. On opening the first issue there are a series of interesting show off graphics. All very impressive and very smoothly done. I have not had a repeat of the initial premature closure. Page turning was very smooth. Enhancements for the future would helpfully include navigation to any part of the magazine from the contents page, directly. The ipad is such a good platform for this magazine, the pair complement each other well.

Awful
Can't comment on the content as this is the only app I have ever bought (& I've bought 100's) that simply refuses to work!
Terrible.

Writers Forum
This may or may not be a good app -- I can't get the damned thing to work to find out. Extremely frustrating process so far, with little support from the 'App Support' function. I bought the app expecting it to be a simple process to download the one eZine included in the app price but this has proved impossible. Having paid my money I cannot download anything, because it keeps crashing. I have tried setting up a pocket age account ( something which is not mentioned in the original Writers Forum app description) but even this seemed to make no difference. When I log into this pocketmags account I am prompted to pay again to download the Writers Forum mag. So far I am £1.79 out of pocket, extremely annoyed at the lack of logical explanation for any of this, and have wasted an hour of my life I can not get back. I am not a tech-phobe, I work in telecoms, and so if I find this awkward and non-friendly then I expect others will too.

Very nice BUT...
Please change the page turn transition effect - it's too slow and actually make me feel sea sick :-/ Otherwise, well worth buying and would recommend.

Worth it
The purchase of the app entitles you to download one issue of the magazine. Additional single issues can be purchased or you can subscribe to receive regular issues when published. I was not sure what to expect from the magazine but I found the content to be very informative and useful for developing my writing skills. This is the best writing magazine I've come across and cheaper to buy this way than fork out £3.60 for the printed version in the shops.

Good magazine, ok app
This is not a bad app. The magazine is quite good if you are interested in writing. The reader software is ok if a bit fiddly when you try to navigate to other pages.
