The magazine content is great, but the electronic version is just a static copy of the file sent to the printers to produce the physical magazine. At least the URLs could have been made into hyperlinks. Even better, some interactive content or additional hyper-content would've been nice to add some value over paper media. Also, purchasing electronic issues of the magazine is just a straight download and doesn't link it to you iCloud account or the AppStore. I bought electronic issues via my iPhone, but now can't read it on my iPad unless I buy it again. As others have mentioned, why is this a separate app instead of an integrated part of the newsstand? What kind of amateur chose these hacks to put this together for OffGrid? Couldn't they have at least asked Shelley for her advice first?

This has got to be one of the worst print-to-digital transitions I've ever seen. It's like someone just took the print proofs, scanned them and slapped them in an iTunes wrapper. The font barely rasterizes so you need to zoom in so far as to not get the entire context of the page. The print version could be great but I have no idea. Can't find any in bookstores, which is why I got the iPad version. But if they put as little effort into it as they did the electronic version, they should have just stayed off grid. If you want to see how an excellent print-to-digital setup should be done, check out Geek Magazine. At least they have interactivity _and_ text you can read.

I can't say anything about the magazine content because I can't download the issues I have purchased. I downloaded the app and then purchased the Summer and Fall 2014 editions. When I tried to download them I got error message repeatedly. I deleted the app and reinstalled several times. I was able to begin to download an issue but as soon as I opened it the app crashed. Then I was back to square one. Nothing worse than when you cannot access something you purchase. Come on man!! Fix it!!
