EDITION29 ARCHITECTURE 001 App Reviews

this is a beautiful magazine and Ive bought all 5 ( first 2 standalone and next 3 as in app purchases) but when I downloaded issue 5 and hit read, I get a black screen forever and have to quit the app. So Ive lost 3 2.99 purchase. Hope the developers fix this bug before it kills this wonderful magazine.

This magazine displays a very poor understanding of architecture. A proper architecture magazine should aim to cover the whole gamut of the discipline: libraries, houses, social projects, museums, airports, bridges, urban planning etc. Instead, Edition29 Architecture limits itself to single-family homes. That would be OK for a magazine called "Houses" or something along those lines. So, the current title is at best misleading and shows a rather amateurish and one-dimensional understanding of the scope and aim of architecture. As to the browsing experience, I found it clumsy and counterintuitive. Although the interface looks fancy, it fails to impress and provide a coherent, smooth environment. Overall, I think Edition29 Architecture is poorly designed and quite unremarkable when it comes to contents.

I had the same troubles with the fifth issue, disappointed that I cant use the application anymore. I would be very appreciative if the bug was fixed promptly. Bugs aside, though, this is a lovely magazine.

Love the mag but since the new change Im unable to download issue 4 or 5...can u fix, as this is bar far the best mag I have ever purchased

I am very impressed by the way Edition 29 Architecture, issue 006 has captured the essence of my M-House. The presentation is very beautifully designed as it engages the viewer with sound (interview), animation, and photos in a way that can best be done with this electronic magazine. Print magazines, while not requiring an iPad, are a pale comparison. Michael Jantzen

I love this application and would rate it five stars but the persistent problem is bothering... You get a new issue, you lose the rest of the issues you bought.

Great app. Interactive and easy to use. However, I want to be able to turn off the commentary by the architect. Sometimes its nice to listen to your music while you are browsing the magazine.

I have a the new iPad and everything worked smoothly until I opened up my newly downloaded issue 06; then it froze, and now the app wont even open. Im very much looking forward to a fix! (and to changing my review).

Im an architect and I love the content f the magazine. However, there NEEDS to be an option for Audio OFF. It is so annoying that even after you paused the audio on one page, as soon as you swipe to the next page, the audio keeps repeating! I just want to browse through the magazine quietly or listening to my own music, and the audio is so disturbing I have to mute my iPad. I would love to subscribe to the magazine, but only when there is the option to turn audio off.

Lovely app & publication, but with imagery being such an important part, it really does need to be optimized for Retina displays.

For $3 on an app that wont even open and just crashes, Im contacting apple.

Ive had no. 11 for what seems like an age? No indication of the frequency. My recurring subscription is about to charge. Is this a quarterly? A when-we-feel-like-publishing-well-put-something-out? Bi-annual? What? When? How many per year?

I like the content but the app is unusable. There is no way to turn the commentary off!!! You know what it means? That if you are listening to some musing there is no way you can read the magazine without the commentary interrupting it. It is ridiculous. From this point of view the usability is very poor.

I think the content is amazing...when its not crashing. I have deleted and downloaded this app and the issues I have spent money on no less than 30 times. This is by far the worst functioning app/content I have ever experienced. I continue to see this company launch new apps and my advice would be this...fix the original one so it works. No one should ever download this until its fixed...and it has been over a year... TERRIBLE.
