Best Adaptation of a British Magazine Yet
We US customers have been patiently waiting on a Sound on Sound app for iPad for quite some time. While other British publishers went the Zinio/PixelMags route, SOS went with a far more user friendly and interactive solution. The Zinio/PixelMags apps basically give you the equivalent of a PDF, requiring you to constantly zoom in and out in order to read and navigate the app. The SOS app takes a much more intuitive approach by presenting the magazine articles in horizontal pages, so that as you scroll left to right you peruse the articles/ads, while vertical scrolling takes you to the subpages within a specific article/ad. Brilliant! SOS is already the most respected music production magazine on the planet and this adaptation for iPad only serves to cement that position. In the past 12 SOS print copies would have cost you almost $200 on the newstand, then they created a US version that was a more reasonable $10 per issue. The iPad edition, with all the content and then some from the print edition, only costs $5/issue or $40/year. Plus I don't feel guilty about downing trees to print the pages I never read (e.g., the ProTools, Cubase, Reaper tutorials, etc). All in all, I'm very pleased with this app right out of the gate, reading it is a far superior experience to reading other British mags (.net magazine, Web Designer, Music Tech, Computer Music, etc). Well done, SOS!

Best Formatting yet - now supporting glorious Retina quality!
Of all the Brit music mags I subscribe to (future music, computer music, and their specials). SOS is the smoothest to read. The photos are interactive, and the articles scroll vertically, preserving the continuity quite nicely. It never feels like I'm looking at a scanned page. Not to mention all url's work with just a tap (and the browsing stays inside the app) as well as audio clips relevant to the articles are embedded and activated with just a tap. Wicked! I've updated my review from 4 stars to 5 with the latest update. Every print mag wanting to make the jump can learn a thing or two from SOS. Totally worth the subscription price!

Awesome
I've looked at a variety of magazines for the iPad thus far, in several of my areas of interest, and I believe that Sound On Sound has done the best job by far of translating their magazine to the iPad format of any I've seen, especially now that they are taking full advantage of the retina display of the new iPad. This made my choice to subscribe an easy one when I already knew that the content of the print edition was consistently good. If you are interested in music recording, there's no need to hesitate on getting this one - you won't be sorry!
