It is great having this magazine on my iPad. That being said, I think there are a few things that would make this a better experience:
1- The pages appear blurry when they first load and then end up focusing. This might sound like a small issue but after flipping through the magazine for some time it does become a nuisance.
2- From what I could tell, even with a membership and after downloading an issue into the iPad, if you take your reading offline some of the pages will come up blank. Not sure if this is a bug or an intended restriction.
3- Each individual page appears to be floating in your screen. To me, it makes the magazine feel like many pages put together rather than a single piece of work. This one is tough to explain so I guess you would have to compare it to other magazines like Wired in order to know what I mean.
Personally, I do not regret buying the membership but I would like to see the items above fixed before I would renew.
