Kayak Angler Magazine App Reviews

Nice... but why are all the links highlighted?

Simple to use app and good looking pages. Only problem is that anything thats hyperlinked is highlighted with red or green boxed when reading. Pages look cluttered and its hard to read as a result. I see no option to turn this off.

App crashes repeatedly.

This app is extremely buggy on a 3G iPhone. I have struggled to read more than a couple of articles. The app may be free and the concept of being able to read the magazines at lower than newsstand prices on your phone has its attractions but until the app works consistently the e-magazines are a waste of money & time.

Amazing

Very nice lay out, and the magazines are dirt cheap this is the reason I bought my iPad so I could read all my favorite magazines on the go. Great job. Thank you!!

Great when its work

I download a few magazine but there some that wont download. The apps takes a lot of time to zoom in. If you could put some bookmark to. You could also regroup the magazine by sort... But overall pretty cool apps to have!

What magazines should be.

This is a great little app. It gives the user the experience o freading a true magazine and yet offers interaction in the content, via videos and web page connection. Not a lot of glitz, but Im not looking for the 3D experience. I just wanted to read a magazine. I found exactley that in this app. Well done.

Great app

If you like any or all of the mags they offer then you will love this app.

Needs some work

This application constantly crashes trying to open content; havent made it past the cover for KA, and AK wont open at all. Ill try this app again after the first update.

If you love paddling - This app is for you!

I am now hooked on Rapid Medias magazines and I love the fact that I can read them whenever I want on my iPhone and iPad. Right now their current issues are free (free=good) and the publisher responded to an email query I sent and has told me back issues are coming soon and will be only $.99 - perfectly affordable I have been really excited about the current, hip articles and the amazing photography in all their magazines. If you are at all interested in paddling water sports then you will really enjoy all of this publishers magazines. I guess we all need to be a little patient so that Apple and Rapid Media can prep and approve all the great content for us. Bring it on!

MyEditions crowded

The App is great I have not had a problem viewing any of the downloaded editions. I recommend separating the My Editions section into two sections. One for new releases and one actually for editions I have purchased. I hope more magazines go this route.

Calling out a sandbagged review

Come on now netwiz, at least try to make it sound human and not from the same company. You get a 1 out of 5. Lame.

???

What is going on with this app? I downloaded a few issues, then I go back in to read them and theyre gone. It says I have downloaded them and when I try and re-download them it just gets frozen. Either give me my money back or give me what I paid for.

Alerts are out of control

Recently started sending an alert once per hour letting me know a new issue was available. Had to shut off notifications in iOS for the app to make it stop.

Stole my money

May be the worst app ever! Five days after starting a download it is still not complete. I tried contacting provider and site for communication has been moved. Rip off - if you are looking to donate $9.99, this app is for you.

Fell into the trap

I got this POC (pile of crap) least year as a $9.99 subscription on our original IPad. Now they downloaded fine a the content was good when the app didnt crash. However, you would think there would be a simple way to also read your paid content on other devices such as out iMac or phone....dream on!! So now when a new issue is out I head to the local B&N, read it for free and they can kiss my $s goodbye..... Save your money and put it towards new yak gear....

Ready to waste some time?

Ok I love kayak fishing and decided to try this magazine. Now Im stuck and cant give it zero stars. Paid my money and downloaded the app. Can I download the magazine and read it, NO! Can I re-download the app? NO! The website knows the app is already installed but everytime I try to download the magazine it sends me to the website to download the app. Catch 22 and out $9.99. Try to go to Help, web error! Incorrect address. You would think that an app developer would be able to find their own web address unless the specifically didnt want to hear about their non-functioning app. Great idea but this seems like a come on to get you to spend more money on the print copy. If this is their idea of business ethics they are not a company I will deal with ever again.

Pathetic con artists

This app is a waste of internet. This company has released a steaming pile of crap and cares so little for its customers, that they wont fix it. Ive deleted this app along with any chance that I will ever do business with this publishing company again.

Awful

Fix this app! Takes your money and doesnt completely load. Crashes after a few pages. Absolutely the WORST app on iTunes Store! Cancel my subscription and refund my money.

Frustrated!!!

I agree with other reviews. Issues I have downloaded are no longer there. When I attempt to download them again, nothing happens. When I tried buying a new issue, it acts like it is downloading but never completes. Unless these issues can be fixed, DO NOT waste your time or money!!!!!

They are working on it

I spoke with Dan at the magazine today. Developer accounts dont show the same rating system we see and they had no idea the app was getting such bad reports. I sent in screenshots of the reviews and have been working with him all day on the issue I was having. They are going to get the app updated quickly to address these issues. In the meantime I subscribed via the Zinio app for $9.99 and the magazine downloads and reads fine there. Dont miss out on a good magazine just because the app needs work (a lot of work admittedley).

Disappointed

Great magazine, less than great app. I feel cheated when I pay for something that doesnt work. I get regular crashes and a magazine I paid for that will not download completely. Fix the app quickly and give me a free magazine and all is well. Im not paying for another issue until I see that this issue is resolved.
