Very nice.. It comes with a free back issue so I don't know what people are complaining about. Download the app, download the free issue and see if you like it. If you do then you can in-app purchase the latest or subscribe for a year. The app renders an excellent facsimile of the paper magazine. The graphics are awesome. Nothing seems to be lost reading it on an iPad. The file for each magazine must be huge (which is understandable) - the free one took about 10 minutes to download through wifi. If you like the magazine (which I do very much) then you will not be disappointed with this app.

Good, but........ This is great and I subscribed for a year but they haven't given us the newest issue yet!! The newest issue is the one with Hendrix on it and I've been able to buy it at my local grocery store for a week now but was waiting for it to come to my iPad since I subscribed, but nothing yet!! I thought subscribing this way would bring the issues to me a little quicker or at least the same time the stores get them, but I don't know what's up and I'm not gonna go buy it at the store when I already paid for my newsstand subscription version. I would give it 5 stars if they were more on top of it and didn't leave us hanging. Get it together Guitar World! I've been buying this magazine for 20 years!! Where is the new friggin issue already?!

Love this mag.... It has gotten better over time, very slow at first but has improved over the 2 plus years I've been a subscriber. Looks and works fantastic on my iPad. Was really looking forward to having these on my iPhone 6 Plus, but alas this wasn't the best experience. Need an update for the 6+.

Worst apps ever. No real support, lose all your past issues, no phone contact for United Kingdom who controls the App. No fixes. Apple will not get involved with this as many reviews complain of App Failures and lost already paid for issues. Downloads gone, not in the cloud. Emails of dozens take days and days to get a non fix response, then days pass before another non fixed response. Screen shots sent fail to get delivered, mail box full is response , or logs go to another Future company that says not them yet on App Future is main name of App and help menu asks for log and controls where it goes ? They must believe we Americans are idiots !! Apple needs to shut this one down. Enough of this 3rd party hide behind, your customers are being robbed of paid for content !!!! Stay away from all their Guitar Magazine Apps from My Magazines Direct and Future Publishing Apps !!! APPLE HELP US !!!! No real support at all, things go from bad to worse when you email. Their help inside apps that instructs what to do crashes you and you lose more issues. I have 2iPads, different versions, problems are on both and on their Guitar apps only, more sofistcated software works well, stupid magazine dumb app fails. The editors of these magazines , the advertisers all should also be ashamed of their loyal customer base being ripped off. App needs a total overhaul or shut down refunding all. There are plenty of reviews all with same app problems...What will it take ? Class action lawsuit possibly ? Lastly receipts from purchases to prove you paid are links that go no where all of a sudden. Until fixed if ever save your money.

Needs update. The app needs a software update. It’s clunky and has a permanent red badge “1” notification.

Where is the next issue?. So far, this is nothing but a scanned PDF type subscription that is a month off. I paid for a year and now have to buy the latest issue at the store? Very disappointed in guitar world. I thought you guys were better than this poor effort. Take a look at other subs to gain some insight on how a real sub should work.

Glad I tried free trial. 80% commercials. 80

An Idiots Review. I am an idiot who plays guitar. This idiot also really enjoys reading Guitar magazine and I don't mind paying for it. The "free"newsstand app is not what is being marketed as free (it came pre-installed on my phone). It is clearly the e-magazines that are being advertised as free. The description and screen shots are soely promoting Guitar Magazine's content. No mention or promotion of an Guitar Magazine application or it's functions can be found in the description or screenshots. Another auto-renew scam. I expected more from apple and their partners.

Poor service and can't keep issues. Terrible app first you buy a year subscription on the guarantee that all issues can be used on all devices. All I did was upgrade from iPhone 4 to 5. Now they've revoked every issue I've owned and revoked the 3 I have left for subscription. It's been two weeks of diverting emails and apple support still won't help with the issue. Do not buy unless you like throwing money away and being taken advantage of!

Don't Blame the App -- You're Just a Moron. Neonoah75: You're stupid. The app is free. You have to pay for the content. Jesus. You are lame. And Gregory Crain: It's not the app's fault that the download is failing. It might be Apple's, but it's more than likely something to do with your connection. Thousands of people have had no trouble downloading this. Use a little trial and error to figure it out.

Missing one small thing. If I could access my digital subscription it would be awesome!

Can’t access my subscription!!!. I bought the pdf subscription online, and apparently the only way to access my magazines are through this app. Yet there is no way to login to my guitar world account on this app so I cannot access my magazines!!!

Transcriptions. These issues used to come with 4-5 song transcriptions of current songs. For example, if Petrucci was on the cover, they would have a transcription of one of the new Dream Theater songs. Seems like they are just recycling transcriptions from the past.

Print mag actually better. This app desperately needs a preloader so that page images don't buffer while loading. It's pathetic, I feel like I'm reading a "downloaded" issue on dial-up. As has also been said, no table of context/indexed articles, or links to audio/video accompaniments to articles make this a pretty worthless "digital" representation of the magazine.

App works well, too much advertising. Look I get it. You can't pay for the magazine without advertising. This magazine takes it to a whole new level though. The app itself is fine and the print looks great on the new iPad, but I was blown away at how much advertising is in this magazine now. There are literally 8 straight pages of advertising between the cover and the table of contents. I'd guess at least a third of the magazine is advertising. I will not be renewing ever again unless this starts to change before my subscription runs out.

I lolled at the freeloaders leaving bad reviews. This app is great. But you know the best part? The reviews! Instant entertainment! Wow, people believe that everything in the app store should be free, go figure! It says it plain and clear in the app description the subscription costs money. So to all you freeloaders out there who feel cheated from a free app, get a job and quit whining about things you're going to see in life. Paying for magazines is nothing new at all.

Great Work!. This application was literally "rocking my world" LOL but really this is a great app and I considered one of my favorite apps the app never crashed and was always letting me get into it and always reading great literature thank you to the app creators in please download this I surely recommend this to all Guitar fans and all Guitar people in general please download this app immediately and have fun rocking thank you app creators and thank you people who download it have a wonderful day✌️

Terrible. Launches and immediately crashes and now I can't access a magazine I purchased to read on my computer. Nice one. Same thing with Guitar World, btw.

Bad app. App crashes too much. Can’t view magazines offline

What about print subscribers?. They are still no hooking up print subscribers when nearly every other magazine company does. I have Newsweek, Businessweek, Bon Appetit and others without paying twice. These guys are really greedy. On top of that the other mags created a made for iPad experience not just a scanned PDF. Future plc can go to hell. I will not renew my sub or ever buy anything from them again.

WHY CANT I PURCHASE OLDER ISSUES?. First off I'd like to say its a great app and I enjoyed the free issue (which is a full issue btw, not just a ripoff) I want to go back and purchase an a cover from earlier this year (with Asking Alexandria). However only two are available for purchase at a time. Please add a bigger variety of issues that can be purchased. (The popular science app has a pretty good setup for this)

Not cool. Not cool.

Finally!!. Guitar Workd was one of the few publications I missed having a digital version. Now the wait is over and I will save a lot of space at home! ;-) Just wished it had the sound clips for the lessons built in the app, such as brazilian Guitar Load e-magazine.

Random Pop-up Ads. I love Guitar World. I’ve been reading it since well before there was a digital version and I’ve subscribed to the digital version for several years now. However, the changes I’ve noticed lately have me considering canceling altogether. The company seems to think throwing in random pop-up ads whenever I come back to read are a good idea. You’ll see pop ups for “2 MONTHS FREE”* or “COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION”. There were very few in the beginning, but they’re becoming more and more common. Why do companies always thing “more ads” are a good idea? Leave the ads in the pages of the magazine where they belong.

Don't waste money. Lousy app design and terrible support means I can no longer access the issues that I purchases through two years of subscriptions. Asked GW for a refund. They said Apple handles that. Apple refused the refund so I am basically out of the money I spent on two years worth of subscriptions. At least with the paper issue, I would still have my copies. The way my issue was handled made it clear that digital subscriptions to magazines are not superior to traditional paper types. Due to an atrociously poorly developed app (Guitar World) I'm unable to acces past issues that I should own. With Apple saying I can't get a refund, I'm basically out the cost of two years worth of subscriptions. I also like how if you do something wrong when writing a review, it makes you start over.

Sadly, should be more than it is. Sadly, this magazine app should be a lot more than it is (which is just a scanned copy of the print magazine). One would expect features like: linked table of contents, linked audio samples and video samples/lessons at minimum. But none of that is here. It's just an overpriced scan of the print magazine. You can do better.

Great app for the guitar fan. I have a mail subscription and the ap allows me to take the digital magazine anywhere with me and not damage my precious paper copies Love it

Issues are huge, slow, expensive, and don't exploit IOS interface. If you really want to read GW on an iPad, then buy a separate iPad for each copy you download. (Forget the iPhone version as the issues are unreadable on the small screen.) If instead you want Guitar World with a good user face, then your only option is to buy the print version. With the print version, you can clip the tabs you like for convenient use, quickly flip through the issue to find that page that grabs you, and keep multiple copies on hand for easy reference. NONE of this is possible with this clunky app. It is dreadful. On top of that, new issues cost $8 each, yet you get less than what the print version offers. I gave the app 2 starts instead of 1 because no matter what your taste is, GW always has content to offer. But the app version is a huge disappointment.

What kind of phony marketing is this?. Just upgraded my phone. Saw a new app called news stand. Lists this magazine as FREE. Thought I would take a look. All you get for free is the cover! Not even a bone. This is bogus as a 3 dollar bill. They want you to buy a subscription to something that's listed as free without even so much as a look. Been a professional guitarist for 45 years. No one hires without an audition and no one buys a magazine without at least a peek! Especially one listed as FREE. Leaves a very bad impression for a possible future subscriber who might have bought in if only allowed one Real FREE issue.

iTunes subscription problems. Says my subscription is active. Wants more money for the next issue. Lame.

good luck. This app is so cool👍🏻

No centerfold? Subscription question?. The app works fine. Issues show up exactly like they should. Why does it keep asking me to subscribe when i have already bought a subscription? Also, why can't the centerfold (fold out poster) be included with the digital subscription? That seems like a strange omission to me...

Great magazine but digital version is lacking. While I am willing to pay for the convenience of having magazines on my iPad, I wish they would offer more than their paper counterparts. Simply slapping the paper issue on a scanner and calling it a day isn't going to cut it if publishers want to attract digital subscribers. This is a missed opportunity to offer more to the reader.

Stupidity In Motion!!!!. Don't listen to the idiots that gave this magazine a bad rating because it wasn't FREE! They were too stupid to actually read beyond where it said FREE. If they had they would have seen the part of the description where it tells you how much the magazine subscription costs. It's a great magazine!

Guitar World. I've been a fan of Guitar World since the first issue. Great magazine. The iPad format is very nice and it is a great way to read the magazine. I do have one gripe though. I bought the subscription. The problem I have is the latest issue is out on newstands yet I don't have that issue on the iPad yet. You would think you would get the iPad version at least the same time the newstand version comes out. So I may have potentially read the magazine before I get it on the iPad. Either that or I will have to avoid the hard version and wait for the latest version to be available for download.

Good, but not quite there yet.. Being a paper subscriber I am highly disappointed that wasn't able to transfer my subscription. So, I purchased one magazine to test it out. (it's not like 8 bucks ever killed anyone). The digital version seems to hold true to the paper edition, but with the CD or other special content not included, you're not getting your monies worth. For now, I'll leave the 3 star rating until those two issues are resolved. And once they are I'll gladly give a 5-star rating and continue my subscription exclusively on the digital format. P.S. to the users complaining about the app being "free", you make a moot point. It sounds like to me you would rather them make you pay for the reader app AND then purchase issues once inside. No? I thought you might say that. So until the checker at 7-11 forces you to pay a dollar to just LOOK at the magazine, I would say it's a pretty straightforward system. Cheers!

Where is the issue I paid for?. I'm not sure how to rate this app if it's going to tell me to pay for an issue I already paid for once. I suppose if I subscribe, the same thing will happen? From what I can see in other reviews, this app works on iPads & iPhones, but not iPod touch. Very disappointed :-( No where do I see it is not compatible /W iPod. So happy for those of u that have it on ur iPads, but those of us with other iOS devices are SOL. I am not complaining about a free issue that is not free, cuz one must buy an issue or a subscription in order to download the "free" issue. The whole idea we have about the "free" issue is to see if 1. Will it work on our iOS device, and 2. Will we like what we see? Well, it doesn't, and I don't. That is NOT worth $7.99 US dollars! Avoid this app like the plague and stick to your print issues!

Good magazine.... Poor execution. I love the content of this magazine.... Great transcriptions and articles. All three points come from that. But it does not live up too an iPad magazine. It's no better than a PDF without any benefits. It mentions some extra features will come along, but don't buy an app based on promised features. This is still a decent way to get a great magazine at an amazing price. But I cannot fully endorse it at this version number. Once some design work gets done I think this will be very good app, but simple high quality scanning with URLs linked in text is not what this magazine deserves. Give us the GQ interface and your content and I'll recommend it to anyone.

Less material, poor editing. App has gliches, pages do not always load well, links do not work....It's a real drag as I used to love the original GW with all its gear reviews and demos...sadly, it's gone, and replaced with a digital version that has less material, no gear demos like before and the magazine is poorly edited. Last couple issues several of the links did not work. I sent an email to customer service and the guy wanted exact page numbers...he said he could not do anything unless I told him the exact pages that have problems. WHY do I have to do the editors job? He is still asleep at the wheel as this month's August issue has page 166 repeated at page 168 and the end of the EVH interview (page 168) is missing/not finished. Editor: If you are reading this THE MISTAKE IS ON PAGE 168.

Hasn’t been updated in 2 years!. Crashes constantly and can’t access content.

They lose your subscription. Buyer beware after years of being a loyal reader, o suddenly lost all my magazines. I had purchased all back issues and was up to date. Contacted support and we are now 10 emails over 2 weeks in and they are not able to restore my purchases. Customer support is non-existent

Sad.... I've been a Guitar World subscriber since the beginning, literally, when I used to wait each month for Guitar For the Practicing Musician and Guitar World issues to come, and both grew up on it and taught myself how to play guitar with it. Guitar World has been a part of my life for the better part of two decades. After I upgraded to iOS 5, I was having a look around newsstand or whatever it's called for Revolver and Guitar World, and was TOTALLY stoked when I saw Guitar World. Immediately paid for a year subscription to compliment my print subscription..... BUT first flag went up when it says FREE and not jack is free...deceit right out of the gate, and complete false advertising. Strike one. Then, as I made my way through the clunky interface and began downloading the first issue with much anticipation, when I began to navigate the first issue, I was underwhelmed to say the least. As a few of the other reviews have said, it simply the pages of the magazine scanned in. The pages are a bit slow to render, and it's a big disappointment to say the least. An interface like People Magazine, or something taking advantage of the rich features that could be possible would make this an incredible publication. Instead, it's an underwhelming dissapointment, and I'm considering a refund, as much as I don't want to.

Can’t access my digital edition. I don’t know what the problem is, but they just can’t get it correct. I feel Customer Service, is not doing it’s job. I’m thinking about canceling permanently. I can’t download any of my digital edition copies. Absolutely ridiculous.

Cool. I used it and it helped me alot

Can humans no longer read??. C'mon people, I think majority are over reacting. If you actually read the description before downloading it says what the subscription cost is! If you thought that guitar world would actually put there magazines in digital form for free than you shouldn't even be writing a review..

Dumb. When the app actually works it’s ok

Retraction. I had previous issues with my subscription and even after downloading the 1.2 update, I was still being asked to purchase subsequent issues as they hit the Newsstand. My iPad was updated but after manually syncing and pushing through iCloud, my iPhone was still 'pay-per-issue'. After reporting a the problem to iTunes, Guitar World and Future Publishing (all to no avail), I gave a two-star rating (even though I praised the magazine & app's look & functionality). Anyone having the same problem should take the time to use the HELP tutorial button. Anyway - Great mag! Amazing on iPad! Buy it!

Garbage. I no longer have a subscription but when I had a print subscription many of those issues were also included in my library. I opened the app after a long while and all of my back issues in My Library had been removed. Like most things today, buying something doesn’t mean it’s yours, and they can take it away at anytime, either from greed or incompetence.

Crashes every time. Please fix.. I haven't been able to read the past four months worth of magazines and am getting quite fed up. Even before recently it was hit or miss with fingers crossed as to whether or not it would open. I've had an iPad subscription to this mag for a long time. Fix it. Just fix it. Future PLC's magazine app for ImagineFX, which I subscribe to also, was finally fixed a few months ago, as it always crashed as well. It's ridiculous that people have to complain for months to get anyone to work on an app that already wasn't terribly complicated nor functional.

The worst. This might be the worst, most useless magazine app I’ve ever seen. An absolute waste of time. Use the website...

Useless. Constantly have to reinstall this app. Almost weekly. Also subscribers never get any of the benefits of buying the magazine. No posters or cds. Which we were promised Guitar World would look into years ago….

Opens then shuts down. Updated to the latest IOS and now the app won’t even open. Where are the copies I paid for?

Not free. Ok so not free at all... Basically just a link to buy it?

Excellent!. It's like reading the physical magazine but you've got little extras like tappable links to websites, you can zoom in on pages etc. All I could have expected. And the yearly subscription is one of the cheapest by far when compared to other leading guitar mags.

Can't restore purchases. Contacted support, still waiting..

Awesome magazine. Definitely worth the cost. Great magazine.

Awesome. Great app, looks fantastic. Have been subscribed for three years and it is very convenient. Mags come out weeks before print versions. They just need more Australian stories. Please tell me how to access back issues. I want to buy some but I don't see how you can through the library or store.

Ad noise 'em. Magazine is full of adverts, every second page infact. Detracts from the articles and makes reading unnecessarily tedious. Its boring, tabloid like. If they throw all adverts in the back section, I might subscribe, other than that it's a total waste. Will continue to pick / choose issues from a real newsstand or wait for the other guitar app magazines. Sorry but a big FAIL

Subscribed but don't get new issues. Was ok until it stopped giving me the option to download new issues (I still have 5+ months left on my subscription and can't get the latest issue). Contacted support and got a standard FAQ which was useless. They claim that they read all of the emails but ignored my email asking them to actually help me and not send me the generic FAQ. It's a shame, I have been a guitar world reader since 1991, not sure i will pick up another issue given that I have paid for something I'm not getting. Already paid huge import prices for guitar world for 20 years, but paying for it digitally and not getting it is the final kick in the guts. I think they have enough of my money now.

Subscribers get screwed. Why isn't this free for print subscribers? Makes no sense to me. Would be a great incentive for future subscribers. Why should I have to pay or this twice just to have a digital copy on my iPad?

Terrible since Oct upgrade. Since I upgraded the Guitar World app, on my iPad 3 running IOS 9' the app takes more than 2 minutes to open. Useless! I'll cancel my sub if this is not fixed.

Great e-mag!. Amazing if you are smart enough to know what youre getting. Free app, magazine is loads cheaper than shelf price when subscribing.

Waste of Space. Downloading the app gives you a link to PURCHASE a subscription. Nothing else. For the SAME PRICE as retail store. Really? What a rip off! Why would i subscribe electronically for the same price- actually higher than you can buy the magazine for at a discount magazine store- for an inferior product? No extras, harder to read, can't share with friends.

Bstring. Nothing is free, very expensive

Great and cheap. Easy to read. Cheaper then newstand price. Sweet ! Look great on new ipad !

Print subscribers should include the digital subscription. Please allow transferring, or bundling, my print subscription with this version. I don't understand why I should pay twice.

Active Internet Required. The magazine viewer app is good, however an active internet connection is required to view previously downloaded content. If you take your iPod to where you do not have wifi you will not be able to read.

I've got a subscription!. I love this Magazine. I have a subscription to it in real life.

On line version. I like your magazine, but the online version is not adapted to the media. It is simply the paper version online. It is also impossible to find the back issue tracks on your site. Thx Hope you improve with time Excuse the quality of my english, french is m6 mother tongue Yves

June Issue. The June issue doesn't seem to work very well. Every time I turn the page I wait for ever for the picture to un-blur. I haven't had this problem with previous issues and I've been a subscriber since December 2011.

way better then physical mag. I have subscribed to the physical mag since the eighties. this is a far better value for quarter of the price. There is a lot of links on the magazine to extra content which I needed the cd before. You have ability to print out the magazines if so desired. There is a search function in the magazine to search for what your looking for. Like a previous reviewer said, if you know what your getting and what app is for it is great. One last thing is I will never lose another magazine again since they store them for you. peace

Bad app...great magazine. Great articles but the app crashes upon opening. Is anybody listening? When is this going to be fixed?

Joke. App doesn't link with paid print subscription. Don't waste your time downloading unless you want to buy only electronic versions.

Crashes when using index. It seems like its well put together but it crashes every time you use the index to pick a page. Please fix and maybe I'll get a subscription. To all the people who are too stupid to scroll down to the free issue, you should no longer be eligible to give reviews!

FREE APP, of course the issues cost $$. You guys are idiots. Seriously. The app is free, not the magazine. Do we live in a world of free magazines everywhere? Nope. Be a normal, appreciative person and buy the darn thing. It's great.

Tip top.... Guitar world is a wonderful staple in the music community. A prestigious brand, poignant editorial and continual satisfaction is always delivered.

I Feel Screwed!!!. Free issue means free issue everywhere but here. Wish I had read the reviews before downloading. I would give this NO stars if that were possible. I've been a loyal Apple fan, but this is testing my loyalty big time!!

This is awesome!. I used to love this magazine as a kid. It taught me how to play a bunch of songs back in the day and had some real cool articles. Very surprised and happy to see this hear.

Love it. Love having Guitar World on my iPad. A thousand times more convenient than getting the actual magazines. If you like GW then this subscription download is a no-brainer.

This Not a sample. Why would they make this in the free section? After you download the "free" mag you have to either purchase the mag or a subscription..... It would have made more sense to give one mag for free or at least make part of the mag free so you get an idea of what it's going to be like on your devise. Not at all what I was expecting.

Rendering is slow/non-existent. Just subscribed. At first, I could read it fine, until I finished the Joe Satriani piece. Next page was blurry...so was the next and when I went backwards, those pages were now blurry. Horrible rending of pages!!! Going to unsubscribe now if I can.

Not yet for print subscribers. We print subscribers cannot yet transfer that subscription to this app, but they promise this will be possible in the future.

Terrible app for mediocre mag. I had high hopes for this, but lets just say it couldnt even deliver my years worth of magazines....literally. Guitar Player did the same ting, so I suppose it is the technology, but I suppose I will never buy another one of either of these magazines. At least for the price of this ipad sub it was worth it. Certainly not at $8 a mag. If the app doesnt work then no price is worth it.

ok mags but needs improvment. I have a paper subscription to this and I cant find any way to use that to get these. Please update!!!!!

Crashes on opening any content. Wanted to like this electronic publication, but continual problems with app stability make it impossible to read the content that I've paid for. Repeated requests for support are going unanswered. NOT RECOMMENDED

Still crashes with IOS 8!!. The latest November 4 update still does not address the app crashing under IOS 8 whenever I try to read one of my downloaded issues. I paid for my subscription yet I can't read anything I paid for. Better fix it quick or I'll be asking for a cancellation and a refund ...

Impossible to read preview. How can I get excited about what's in a magazine if I Can't See what's in the magazine?! Seriously, you can read the cover. Why would I just by a magazine blind? Great iPad with a retina display and the preview, which is suppose to isn't ice me to by the magazine, looks like a blurred mess? Well at least the mags look as ugly as the app.

Won't download. Got the subscription and it just won't download the new issue, another thing to point out is that the magazines come late compared to the printed version... Whole lotta deception

Is there a solution to the crashing problem?. Is there a solution to the crashing problem yet? I couldnt read my last two issues. After i download when i try to read a magazine app quits.

Meh. Basically just a PDF of the print magazine. Nothing wrong with the magazine, just so much missed potential.

Sweet. Everyone who think they should get free magazines are crazy. How can magazines stay in business by giving it away. I paid for the year at $14.. That's pretty cheap for something I can read on my iPhone and iPad

Umm where are my mags?!?. I subscribed to guitar world but the magazine keep saying waiting!!! I would like to read it...I thought digital would be easier but I should have went to the store...im about to cancel this bs!!!!

Crashes. Please fix soon or many current and potential customers will leave and not look back!

Paying once doesn't seem enough. Downloaded the app payed 14,99 for the one year subscription, I was able to view the first issue but when the second one came out it prompted me to pay again. Delete, reinstall ( reminds me of micro$$oft ;) ) didn't help either. Now why would I pay twice for the same thing ?

Horrible!!!. Skip this buggy overpriced ripoff!! It repeatedly tried to download the 'free' issue over and over and over. Not knowing this, it exceeded my data plan for the month within one day!! I have to PAY more in data-overage fees than the cost of an ENTIRE year print subscription !!! Piece of absolute crap!!

Why is digital copy more expensive than paper version?. I would think digital copy is much cheaper. The paper subscription is $3 cheaper than the iPad/iPhone version. Why would I pay more?

Great Mag & Finally an APP!!!. Already dig it after just a bit of exploring... It's not GW fault this ended up as "free" in newsstand. Think explanation of what u get is very clear. U guys rock! Love this app & Lick of Day very much!

Guitar World. Ive read this mag since i was a kid! Love the app! Anyone who doesn't know the mags aren't free shouldn't download anything!!!!! As they say on ESPN, C'mon Man!!!!!!

What a rip off!. I bought 3 magazines and can only read one. Crashes like crazy! Want a refund. But I can't even figure out how to do that without it crashing

Crashes when opening mag. Since the iOS 8 update every time I try to open an issue the app crashes. It's a joke. Paying for a subscription I can't even use.

It's ok. -needs ability to hear lessons from app -ability to remote print. I have a wireless printer that doesn't support AirPrint. No other options in app Not worth the renew if these aren't addressed

Won't open. I paid for a subscription and now it won't let me open any issues. Hope this gets fixed soon, else I guess just cancel.

.... This app is listed as free in the app store so I got it. After it downloaded, the so called "free" app charged me $0.99. And not only that but it's $8 to view a magazine. I get you have to make money and all but really? That's a little overdoing it for a computerized version of a magazine. Pretty unhappy.

Digital delay. The magazine is on newsstands a full week before the digital version. Why the delay? Distribution is cheaper and easier so why not push people toward the on-line version. Will not renew unless this is corrected.

Was good, now constantly crashes... At first, worked like a charm. Now it crashes constantly, won't stay open for more than a few seconds. FIX THIS!

Hummm...no, thanks.... Should do some benchmark first. Usually, if you sell it as free, you give something free. Then, when the reader is left wanting more, you offer an update with better features, but here, you don't offer anything in advance. Not good.

Crash.... As the other reviewers have posted, this app rarely works. It crashes nearly every time I attempt to open an issue.

Garbage!!!. I had to have my iPad 2 replaced and since then I haven't been able to download any of the new issues. I paid for a full year's subscription, but due to some glitch in the app that nobody seems to know how to fix, I can't read any of the issues that I PAID FOR!!!! I want a refund!

This is a great deal. The only improvement I would really like to see is a way to save selected song transcriptions into a Guitar World tab app for easy reference.

Easy in, but caint get out. I signed up for a month which comes with the automatic renewals. Now I can't shut off the auto renewals. Their tech-help was no-help. Do I click "report a problem" on my iTunes bill?

Totally broken app. I am unable to use my paid subscription to this magazine, due to the buggy app that crashes as soon as you try to open an issue. It has not been updated since Nov 2014!! I regret wasting my money, and will be satisfied with nothing short of a full refund. Shame on Guitar World for fleecing paying subscribers!!

Poor Performance. The app looks great when it looks the way it's supposed to, and I mostly love GW content, but sometimes find myself waiting for a minute or more just for the page to render well enough for me to read it. On a new iPad 3. Kinda wish I had just got the paper subscription unless they fix the issue.

Keeps crashing. I just purchased a new issue but every time I try to read it, the app keeps crashing. Judging by other reviews this issue is not new either. Hope they fix it soon.

Total garbage!. I guess nothing in life is free. Or everyone is out to make a buck or 7.99 for that matter. Junk!! This is the same magazine that said Mark Tremonti is the 4th best "metal" guitarist ever. He's good but 4th best?? Come on now. Don't download it's crap!

Waste of money. It's amazing that the mighty Guitar World won't link your normal subscription to a digital version. Take a page out of Premiere Guitar guys! And while we're at it, the magazine has been on a slow downward spiral for years. Stop trying to appeal to new guitarists and show some love for the loyalists.

Um, how about a small demo. I am a subscriber to the magazine and was curious about this. I downloaded hoping to at least have some type of demo. Maybe 10 pages or so to see what it looks like before putting any money into it. No such luck. If I can't see what it will look like, I won't spend any money on it. Very disappointed.

No video. I just downloaded this app, and where there should be video links to product reviews, they tell you to check out the video review on the web. Why use the app then?

Horrible!!!. Am I the only one that's having download problems? Downloads fine on my iPhone 4 (iOS 6), but hangs FOREVER on my iPad (3rd Gen; iOS 6). I've tried all the suggested "fixes" and they're all crap. None of them work. This has been going on for well over a month now. Seriously, can you guys get your sh•t together and fix this?!?!

Thanks, but no thanks.. 8 bucks for a magazine I can get for $5 at newsstand prices...or even less with a print subscription?!?!?! I fail to see how this is a good deal...oh and the app crashed repeatedly with my free teaser issue. I think I'll keep reading magazines the old fashioned way.

Great content, poor app. Despite the 2.0 update, the page rendering is still painfully, frustratingly slow. The editorial content is excellent, but pages in the current issue take 15 to 20 seconds to render...and that's on a 3rd gen iPad. Unacceptable and unsatisfying.

Crash & Burn. Worked great until ios 8 came along. Now every time I open an issue it crashes. Worst part, I paid for a year subscription. What a rip off!
