It took me three weeks to be able to get back all of my issues from my online subscription. I went through numerous emails and then I tried something different and all of a sudden it worked. I was not happy with tech-support in any means. Love the magazine, but it seems like they do not care about their customers!

Get the subscription, the continually bill, won’t log in and they don’t know my email, can’t get downloaded content, but they sure know your credit card to bill. Horrible company.

I love FM magazine so I bought a single issue (march 2012). Each page takes about 6 seconds to load. It makes reading a chore as every time you turn the page you need to wait a bit before reading. Sound On Sound does it much better & their mag is actually interactive. FM is simply scans of the print version. I'd rather pay a lot more for a physical copy in a store then try reading this on the iPad.

why say its free when all you can do is download FutureMusic that allows you to BUY a subscription? i understand that mag's arnt free and i would expect that i would have to buy a subscription but i cant even check out main articles or anything, kinda false advertising i would like that to be fixed, im still gna subscribe but not for a while, ima see if the acctuall mag is cheaper, and that way i have the phsyicall mag in my hand, its neat it can be on my ipod but i thought id get to check it out before i subscribed... so... fail.

I think this magazine structure is kinda flawed. We should be charged for FutureMusic (less than a subscription price) and get new issues for free. I mean throw us a bone here. That should be the benefit of having a $600 phone. Otherwise I'll go buy the magazine in the store and get the coverslip CD's too. I was really looking forward to this magazine too but I guess I'll just go get my music gear info and reviews off a FREE website.

Okay, so I downloaded it too, and yes, there is no magazine without purchasing it.
I'm fine with subscribing, provided its readable, so why not a few pages as a free demo? I have bough iOS mags before that we're little more the a clumsy PDF made with no consideration for the device. Id love to know if this is laid out device -friendly, or if it's just a direct export for the magazines print file.

Needs a search feature and also needs to not erase the majority of your downloaded issues when upgrading

Ignore the large number of 1-star reviews here. Folks don't understand how Newsstand works (and pricing is up to the publisher, not Apple) and think they're going to get free magazine issues. Gimme a break.
This magazine is hard to find where I live, so having the digital version is very convenient (I miss not getting the extra goodies that often come with the printed version). It's a UK-based magazine, so you'll see some differences in how content is written. Overall, very valuable magazine for electronic musicians and those who record at home.
One suggestion: it would be nice if there was a way for us to view the table of contents of each issue before buying. I don't expect full pages for free…just the topics covered. Some issues may not be useful to me, so I like to buy a la carte, not subscription. But Newsstand doesn't seem to allow publishers to show off an issue's contents page. Need a fix there. Otherwise, 4 solid stars for a great magazine worth paying for.

I've been reading Future Music since 1999 when I worked for Barnes & Noble bookstores in the US. They have the best blend of informative essays, reviews, tutorials and insightful interviews in my opinion. They're not Mix or Sound On Sound, nor are they meant to be. Future Music & Computer Music are more about the artists & producers and how they work, in turn, that which works for fans too. I have 28 issues on my iPad alone without ever having any problems. Highly recommended!

I've learned more from Future Music and it's other two sister magazines than I'm sure I could in the same amount of time in college. Full time!!!! For a couple of dollars a month! Love it!!!!! Keep it up!!!!!!

Dude, this is an incredible magazine and a phenomenal app. It never crashes and is a lot better designed than a lot of mag apps. Please don't listen to the doofuses who get mad you have to pay for it. This magazine is worth every penny.
by Thidges
One of the best or better ones around. They keep getting it right, writing about what is going on in the world of audio or better music production. Recommend it to anybody remotely and full on involved in producing.

Magazines are never free. This magazine has a wealth of information, reviews, rating and videos. If you buy it at the store it more expensive. The amount of info inside this mag far out weights the $5.99 price.
DO NOT be detoured by the habitual whining of the large population of Apple owners. I once read a 2star review on a hard drive, the reviewer loved it but gave it 2stars because it didn't come with a white USB cable to match his pretty little setup. You can read more on the Apple Store web site. I'm sorry I digressed but this Apple-whining is outta control.

I subscribe to several of Future's magazines and every issue has so much inside that I sometimes need more days to read and apply everything. Get an issue and start learning. I'm sure you will enjoy.
by Johnsrev888
I like the fact that you can read this in landscape mode. The navigation through each issue is stellar. Of course the content is great for anyone who is producing music in this day and age - hobbyist and Pro alike. I look forward to every new issue. Check this publication out!
by MrTimDuluth
Most of the one star reviews are because FutureMusic only acts as a storefront to purchase the magazine, thus the magazine itself isn't free. You have got to be kidding me. It says very clearly in the description how much each issue costs, and frankly, this package is worth every penny. It certainly beats paying the $16 newsstand price in the US!
Thanks FM!!!
by DJlionking
So nobody realized Future Music is an actual publication and them giving away their issues for free would render them bankrupt. Newsstand is a free app, and walking buy a newsstand in real life is also free, reading any of the materials is not.
Future Music is excellent with their info on a side note, for those interested in pursuing DAWs.

Unbelivable how much morons are out there spaming review section with "not free" comments!!
Hey morons, read the article about Newsstand on Apple web and what it is for! This give you oportunity to BUY a magazine in digital form! Not to get for free! If you like paper version, go and buy it! Stop spaming reviews! Of course it is not free!! It is a great opportunity to have your favourite magazine on your iPad and read it whenever you want and whereever you want. You can have tons of magazines on your device without need to carry full bag of printed copies,
BTW they offer free copy of October issue just for you morons who claim that it is not free!!!
by Extra_medium
The full mag, plus all the videos built right in to the articles at less than half the price of buying it at the news stand. All the samples are downloadable too. Those complaining that its not free either have never read this magazine before or simply live in a fantasy land.

'complete your collection' purchase option doesn't work (linked from the back of each issue) - and it is not available on the main store page on iPad3 (although in others like Total Guitar, it is). It works on iPhone5.
Some videos don't not work. I have reported it to them last year, but the same videos that had issues before, still do. Jody Wisternoff interview in Aug 2012 will not play and others
