Cult of Mac Magazine

I love the Cult of Mac podcast. I also love this app on my iPad. The content is great, it’s always up to date. The format of scrolling between magazines and articles is very fluid and user friendly. This would easily be a 5 star app...but I am baffled that it is not updated for the new iPhones. Im reading reviews and articles on my iPhone Xs Max, and it’s like reading it on an iPhone 8 Plus with the bars on top and bottom. Update the app, and I’ll absolutely add those 2 stars and update the review. Outside of that, keep up the outstanding work!!

Yes, this app hasn’t been updated for 4 years, but it works perfectly on my XR. Yes, the initial setup screen is annoyingly slow (it has taken about 5 minutes to finish), and yes it has current articles (again you need to wait an excessive amount of time to have them download) but overall it is a great app. They do need to update and make the process faster but you do get everything.

Seriously. It’s annoying. Everyone wants me to put THEIR app on my phone. Something like this is not the right place for an application. It does nothing for me. Can you write Objective C or Swift but not HTML? Do you need a web developer? Or maybe a copy of Adobe Acrobat or a link to LibreOffice so you can make a PDF of the magazine you want to make available on your website? It’s not rocket science. Please be like every other news outlet and use your friggin website instead of making people download YET ANOTHER REDUNDANT APP.

Despite the last issue of the old app that implores you to update and states that your back issues will be kept, after updating I only have back issues through July of this year, and I have lost all of my previous issues prior to July. Nice, huh? How can they possibly do this? I've seen this before wth some Newsstand magazines but this takes the cake. Will be canceling my subscription and I would recommend NOT updating to the new version.

I don't get the beef on these reviews. But I guess if you read the comments on Cult of Mac it makes sense. We're some of the most passionate and opinionated readers out there. Despite being a loyal Cult of Mac reader who falls into this category I think the app is great. And I obviously love the content.
