HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (2.5 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Couldn’t figure out how to navigate the trial issue

All I ever saw was the front cover. By tapping on that, a screen comes up with instructions saying to click the front and back arrows to navigate—but there aren’t any when the issue is full screen—and swiping to turn does nothing. Good magazine, but a poorly implemented app, it seems.

★★★★★Dec 3, 2016
I love this magazine!

This magazine is packed with useful Mac reviews and other cool and interesting articles. A must have for the Mac Addict, and I want to know your graphic designers/creative director, because the cover designs are always eye-popping.

★★★★★Jul 27, 2016
Outstanding

Excellent content and excellent app. Every issue full of useful information. Great digital format!

★★★★★Mar 19, 2016
Great mag, but pricey across the pond...

I'd like working bookmarks also, and this is my favorite current Mac magazine (not that many left). (I won't get started about a certain other online Mac mag with the infamous auto-start videos... ahem!) But with MacFormat, the subscriptions (digital or print) are more than I can justify spending that much money, so I skim over issues at a local bookstore, and only if there are enough good/usable topics to warrant the price. And the price for digital subscriptions is almost as formidable as print prices...!

Great content

★★★★★Jan 29, 2016
Liked the old version better.

I've been a long time fan of Mac Format, but the new version seems to be too crowded per page. Also, adding a bookmark doesn't seem work. Small things, but enough to make it not enjoyable to read.
