Olympus Magazine for Android
Never downloads the latest magazine. Really hard to use on a phone. Could be so much better. Even a pdf version would be better.
Doesn't work, all you get is the front page. Utterly useless!
Not user friendly. Not much interesting info.
This app is not working very weak
Hang on, I've sussed it! If you want to be able to read the unmoveable tiny print this (potentially) great magazine app shows, get out your excellent Olympus camera, fit a suitably big zoom lens to it (or maybe even a macro) and zoom right in on your tablet/phone/PC etc! Sorted!
utter crap you cannot zoom pages the text is unreadable in some articles it is almost as if some fool had the idea of copying a paper magazine and posting it on line cannot believe Olympus read the feeback or do they think that we are wrong their customers ? uninstalled
Olympus Mag is great, reads well on an iPad. Sadly doesn't run on my android tablet CRASH!
Can no longer read the magazine because of this app. I have therefore instructed Olympus to cease sending the magazine to my tablet and have deleted the app. Bye Bye Olympus!
Slightly ridiculously bad as a magazine app. No portrait and no page zooming??
Not working, off line all the time from my mobile data connection. Please resolve. It worked OK some months ago? Sad because I want to read the first class magazines Olympus produce.
Installed app to enter a competition. Every publication said I was offline Rubbish.
What's going on won't download, and when try to open goes to all previous magazines. Please sort, thank you for sorted 5 stars now
Can't pinch and zoom to, you know, actually read the magazine!
Bright Publishing ? I don't think so.No new editions available for 6 months.Downloads not working.If I were Olympus I'd sack Bright Publishing.
Will not allow full page to be seen
Unusable, such a shame. Seems to get worse with every update.
Finally a working app on tablet that allows to download and open the magazine. Pages can now be zoomed in but still doesn't work in portrait mode. I've found the content basically is to shout about expensive kits aimed at pro photographers, nothing in the magazine for enthusiastic or amateur photographers who wants to admire the kit bought out of hard earned money. Disappointed.
Sadly doesn't work at all on my Hudl 2. Have subsequently moved to a Samsung Galaxy S2 and the app still doesn't work. Landscape format doesn't let me scroll to the current issue which I can just see the top of at the bottom of the page.
Won't download the magazine unless you're on a Wi-Fi connection - says you're 'offline' if you try to use mobile data. When you DO manage to download the magazine, it won't allow you to zoom so tou can actually SEE anything - avoid!
The landscape only orientation for portrait oriented publications is ludicrous, to be honest.
Podria mejorar mucho si en Android se hace zoom
The new version of this magazine app makes much of the "vertical" content unreadable, as the navigation menu now is the only thing popping up from the bottom of a vertically sliding page, such as with the Reader's Gallery section. This used to be a much more useful publication. New editions don't even download.
Sorry dear Olympus. Love my OMD but he app here really sucks. Only landscape, no zooming, slow, wrong layouts... awful. Would be much better to provide the content as PDF.
This improvement constantly tells me am offline. Have reinstalled but no better. Now can't get the magazine to load at all!!!! Never very good on mobile now useless!
Downloaded the app; I agree with the main body of critisisms it's badly constructed. What happend to the competition?
I just cannot download the last two issues so it must be the 'improvements' to blame. No good to me anymore.
Still got a long way to go before it's usable
I'd love to be able to read the Olympus magazine, but this app actually prevents me from doing so. Truly dreadful.
Love this magazine! It helped me make the decision to switch to Olympus’s system as it suits my style so much more. Now I bring my PEN everywhere and take loads more photos. The shooting tips are also great for a spot of inspiration.
Simply hopeless
Why does the app not show the latest issue can't enter the competitions as they have closed by the time the issue shows up
What's going on won't download, and when try to open goes to all previous magazines. Please sort
Downloaded magazine just get the joy of looking at the front cover on my galaxy note 8.0
Good mag but
Terrible
I'm viewing on a 9.6 inch tablet and I cannot read the tiny text nor can I zoom the text. Makes a reasonable magazine unreadable.
How could anybody release an app like this. Did no one actually test it. Just so much wrong from unable to download magazine to slow to everything
Offline??? Frozen!!! Won't open?!?! This doesn't look good for olympus' reputation. Worse than useless.
Stuck in landscape. Not good for reading.
by Q####:
Why does it never display the latest issue. I get directed to the app from Olympus's own promotional email that's sent to me when a new issue is available, but it's nowhere to be seen?
