Photography Week Reviews

by TreoRenegade

I've subscribed for 2+ years, but recently turned off my annual September auto-renew. Changes amount to still more in-your-face obtrusive popups, advertising a sister zine, quiz or buying older editions of this zine. What was once smooth operation is now a sputtering mess. In short, these folks no longer respect the reader, which shows at every turn. I'm off to find another photog zine. This one is now on my blacklist.

Paid for a year subscription but PhotographyWeek stop working. It will not load up "store" and therefore I can't access issues...that I paid for!!

The mag is quite good for a weekly. The content is also quite good, with videos and dynamic content. The only frustrating thing is the painfully slow downloads. It takes at least 1hour to download a new issue, if I keep watching the download. If I switch to another mag, and let this download it in the background it takes forever!!!! I read 10 other magazines on my iPad, nothing takes more than 2 minutes to download, even with larger content. Hence the 2 stars, otherwise I would give it at least 4 stars

PLEASE FIX THE DOWNLOAD PROCESS....OTHERWISE I WILL CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION

I do enjoy this magazine, but for somebody stuck on slow internet this takes FOREVER to load. There is absolutely no reason these downloads need to be 400mb or more! I subscribe to other photo magazines on zinio and they are around 100mb tops. Please stop with the HD videos, or give an option of a smaller download size!

The UI while reading is also needlessly fussy an annoying. Make the reading areas larger and require less scrolling, it really detracts from the reading experience.

I have a subscription and spend hours and hours trying to get each edition to download. Most of the time it locks up or times out. I cannot get the help tab to open so cannot reach the publisher. I just had to replace my iPad so "lost" all my past issues as I cannot get any of those to download either. Cannot read the magazine offline.

I've been reading this magazine now almost since day one. The magazine is truly unique, and I really like it. However, PhotographyWeek seems to have some sort of memory. As I delete issues, PhotographyWeek continues to hold the same space on my iPad. I find I need to delete PhotographyWeek every few weeks and re-install it or the thing takes over my iPad. I could easily rate this 5 stars if they would fix this issue. Until then, this is a big problem for my 16 GB iPad.

I love how I always walk away learning something new from each magazine. I find it more enjoyable to read than regular magazines with its vibrancy and interactive media. My only complaint is sometimes it feels as if there isn't enough content like it could use a few more pages and longer articles. I also can't find an unsubscribe button anywhere! I don't plan on it soon but I rarely go into my iTunes and that's the only way to stop subscription.

Love the magazine and all the tips week after week! Would give it 5stars, but would like to see being able to organize the issues in any order you want instead of how they were down loaded!

The interactive nature of PhotographyWeek really makes reading this magazine a pleasure. The content tends to recycle itself every few episodes. Also the reviews of cameras and gear tend to be superficial. It's probably fine for a weekly but an occasional in depth topic would really help. Thus withholding the fifth star.

I have done fairly serious, low budget shooting, employing proven, long established rules of art, such as the rule of thirds, side lighting along with the importance of planning, sturdy tripod when others may be proned to hand-holding and bracketing for 28 years. Now that my old film SLR work is replaced with today's digital power, there are both an adjustment curve and the world of editing images. I don't see the need for every issue. But any aspect of the art a photographer should seek council, Photography Week is a valuable companion. The recent issue on HDR imaging blessed me with fundamentals I intend to carefully begin a new art form in my portfolio. Photography Week, as an app on my "New iPad" is gorgeous. Developers provide hide away tips on example images and removable text over example and cover images. PhotographyWeek works smoothly with modern innovations. Thanks to the writers for their fine instruction, accessible to all students of the art. WELL WORTH THE LITTLE BIT OF MONEY I SPENT FOR THE PUBLICATION.

I have been waiting for this mag to launch and I am not disappointed. The content of the first issue was great and I love all the interactive stuff. Folks be proud of the work you have done. Can't wait to see how this develops.

Before it was difficult to follow along. Now it's much easier. I enjoy my issue every week! Very informative.

I like this magazine a lot. Because it is new each week and covers many different topics, it challenges me to look for new and different photography subjects.

by MomentsLessTraveled

I heard about it on Facebook and decided to take the free trial for the first five issues. I'm loving every issue! I also enjoy that they get the readers involved on their Facebook page. I am considering a yearly subscription if the rate comes down a little.

This periodical is perfect for someone like me, a person with a basic technical understanding who aspires to improve my technique with the equipment I already have. Price is right too for the amount of content in each issue.

I don't know people are complaining about. I was able to access the first issue free. Then I subscribed and I am on my 3rd free issue. Two more are coming up in the next two weeks. Thank you photography week.

I rarely review apps but this one deserves it. The articles are useful and a great read, no fluff. It's full of inspiring images that make me want to get out my camera and go shooting. And last, the compact weekly format is perfect for a busy hobby shooter like me.

by Aufedder

This is a great interactive magazine. Makes reading and learning about photography a pleasure. Look forward to each new issue. The videos are an especially good addition to just reading a magazine.

Being able to submit photos and participate in the magazine contests is thought provoking and stimulating.

This is a great app and for those screaming fraud, perhaps you should take time to read first. The first five issues are free. You do have to subscribe to one of the plans and then turn off the auto-renew. Unfortunately that is an Apple thing. Give PhotographyWeek and magazine a chance. I kept my subscription due to the great content. I even follow on Facebook. I am an amateur photographer and am learning so much. Also, PhotographyWeek is just fun to use.

There is NO FRAUD here and only a small amount of effort is needed on the part of the user to get the free issues. Give it a chance. You will LOVE it.

And for those that may think this is a "phony review" take time to look at my history and note that I review many other apps both for the good and bad.

Enjoy PhotographyWeek . I sure have and will continue to do so.

As the first photography magazine subscription I've ever purchased, each issue of Photography Week focuses on one specific technique, style or creative challenge, which keeps me inspired and motivated to get out and master that week's subject. Monthly photography magazines have often overwhelmed me with possible challenges and assignments in a single issue, and I never find the time to learn all of them. However, Photography Week succeeds perfectly at isolating the myriad of potential subjects to one topic per issue. Photography Week doesn't feel like a magazine. It feels like a photography program at a world-renowned art institute, and I look forward to every issue like the next session of class.
