Pros and cons of Modern Drummer app for iPhone and iPad

Modern Drummer app good for

Modern Drummer keeps up the news of the drumming world . The only drum magazine that stands out from all , for years to come.
I like this app and have no problem reading or navigating it.
A magazine. About drums. On your iPad. 24/7. Come on. Amazing info, always fun to read. 1,000 stars.
Price discrepancy was Canadian US dollars. Couldve been clearer. App support fantastic.

Some bad moments

I thought I would help the environment and not waste a tree every time I wanted to read MD, but this is the worst app on my iPad...and not for long. Ive been trying to read the Peter Erskine article in the June issue, but the app crashes on nearly every page. A total waste of $5.00.
This is my opinion: The Modern Drummer App does not offer anything else than a scanned version of the magazine. Hard to read and hard to handle on the IPhone. I was disappointed. Basic improvement is needed to meet average publications app-standards. Looking forward to it. I would use an improved version much more than the current one.
This is the leading drum mag? It is a shame on Ipad. The pictures are extremely bad in quality. Super low resolution, even blurry. I have bought two different issues as I couldn’t believe that this is really intended. But both are extremely awful. Maybe the print magazine might be good but a real shame on e-devices. Sorry. I have so many drum mags on my ipad but this one is really hurting my eyes. I am really upset that I bought those issue. I have never seen such a bad quality of an electronic magazine before.
Nice not having to cary my pile of hard copies... But one problem remains in that my editions are way to dark...
How many device I can use? I cant log in! And restore my purchases! No pixel mags support! No old issues!
The best drum magazine of the world in the worse app ever made for a magazine. This last app has a lot of bugs, you cant find oldest editions and many problems to download old purchases. Please came back to the previous version of this app.
