Olympus Magazine Reviews

by PatrickStarForever

App used to work fine. With this update very slow to download, open or go through the pages. Hope another update will fix it

I installed it and all it does is show a black splash screen with a pulsating white circle which I guess is meant to be a loading indicator. I tried killing and restarting and nothing happens. Deleting.

Update from my previous review: Received a notification to delete and re-download OlympusMagazine to resolve problems. This fixed the "unzip failed" error on the April issue, but two interface problems remain: (1) I still don't see any way to remove previously-downloaded issues from my device. (2) When I clicked a link in a story to go to an external page, there was no way to return to the magazine; I had to kill OlympusMagazine . So, still some work left to do!

Original review: I like the magazine, but OlympusMagazine update required to read the April 2016 issue seems to be broken... throws an "unzip failed" error on the "index.html" file. I tried to contact the vendor about this, but the support link on OlympusMagazine Store seems to be dead. Also, I can't find any way to remove previously-read issues from your device, although I might be missing it because there's also no onscreen help. Can't recommend until fixed.

OlympusMagazine consistently crashes on iphone6. Click on link to their website and it doesn’t exist. It’s a mess, but I wish I could see what looks like a good magazine!

Currently OlympusMagazine is for the iPhone and iPad, it would be nice to be able to read it on my iMac!!!

It’s free. Great little feature articles, inspirational photos. Make you enthusiastic about getting out there and taking some photos.

Great articles, tips, and interviews. I only wish all my old issues would come back. The update wiped out all the issues prior to January 2014.

The Olympus content is pretty good and interesting.
However, the navigation is not like turning pages in a magazine... Many parts of the page can go somewhere else but it's totally un-obvious when that is the case.

I'd prefer a completely linear, page-turning, navigation, plus a collapsible index on the left.
