Popular Mechanics Magazine US App Reviews

The application does not work ... The downolading goes well but it remains stuck at unzipping stage. I cant read any edition now.

I cant read any issue because this crash at launch every time... Too bad ! Please update !

Thats exactly how a magazine for ipad should look like. Now give it an upgrade for the new retina display and you earned your sixth star !

Love the app, and the contents. However it would be nice to see at a glance the download status without having to open the edition and scroll to see if all the articles have completely downloaded. There have been multiple occasions where I get on the train and expect to have something to read for a few hours, but only half of the edition was downloaded.

The app lets you look at thumbnails of each story, not even 1 preview article to sample magazine layout. 3.99/ month? No thanks. 11.99/year I would sign up and Im sure a lot of other people would to. I can subscribe and get a hard copy delivered To my door for $12/ year. Why are you trying to rip off your tech savvy customers?

But where is the December issue in the store?? I had the previous version installed with the November issue, downloaded the update, but nothing new showing up.

We are now into the second week of Jan and still no issue for this month. I could have bought the printed copy almost 4 weeks ago. I like the app but if Hearst is not going to support it by releasing the month issues in a timely manner what is the point!

i love reading PS...but this app is a joke and they should be embarrassed for putting something like this on the app store..and Apple...what are you doing approving something this bad?

If you love science and technology this is the magazine for you. Much better than the paper version because there are videos and it is a cool way of showing the information.

At least they changed the false advertising that said they would give you a free issue. Make it a sensible price of $15.99 per year like Popular Science or you wont get my $$$. Ive already been taken for 5.99 for one issue in March!

This app only works in portrait orientation on the iPad.

Im not gonna pay again to get the digital edition

I have paid for a monthly subscription to this magazine for over two months and since the august issue has been released i an unable to download it as part of my subscription. I think none of Hearst subscriptions are working and they don’t respond to email support. Im not very happy!!!

Hey Hearst! Time and Conde Nast give print subscribers free iPad versions. When are you going to wake up and do likewise? Nobody is going to pay twice if they already subscribe to the print editions. Oh yeah, and why is it so expensive for digital subs compared to print versions anyway

Just installed the latest version, cant start it, keep on crashing. Damn it...

This is a nice app with a good amount of free content. Of course you have to pay for the full magazine but it costs less than the paper one.

Fantastic

Says there downloaded but its not there ....what a waste of money. Got the one year subscription and havent been able to use it since iOS 5 !!!! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING TILL THIS IS FIXED

Perhaps my review would be more meaningful if I could actually SEE the December issue I purchased. After about a dozen attempts to download it, I still have nothing. So far, a waste of money.

Somehow - I ended up with a print subscription. I received a print magazine in the mail about a month after using the app. Going through the junk mail I found a notice from them about a new subscription and an invoice would follow. I dont know how I got that print subscription - but somewhere along the way it happened - probably buried deep in some fine print or a contest or something.
