Zinio Your Perfect Magazine App!


RATING: GREAT BUT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT!


Undoubtedly, the iPad has revolutionized digital content.  Aside from books.. magazines and newspapers are enhanced by different publishers to take advantage of iPad's gorgeous screen.  Zinio has been doing digital content for PC and Mac way even before iOS was out, placing them as a front runner in the evolution of digital publishing. 


Offering the most digital magazine content you need in one fantastic app, from technology, automotive, movies to fashion, food and Lifestyle.  Zinio truly is the iBook Store of magazines.  Issues are out the same day as the print version and subscriptions are cheap!  You will get notified instantly once a new issue is available.  Downloading content is also a breeze!  Pages are downloaded one by one, so you can instantly read while the whole content is downloading.  Best of all, you can share your digital content to your other iOS devices, PC, or Mac.

The layout is perfect and swiping from one pay to another really smooth.  Texts are very readable and the tap to zoom feature makes it easier for you to make the text even bigger.  Pictures come out stunning and better than the print version.  The table of contents makes it easier for you to navigate through the pages of the magazine.  Some magazines even have exclusive digital content.

Zinio truly is a powerhouse digital magazine source and all the magazine you want is just a tap away!

Although Zinio publishes more hundreds of magazines, a lot of local versions are not yet available.  Most magazines are from the US or UK.  Magazines offered by Zino are like enhanced scanned version of the print edition and doesn't offer a lot of exclusive digital content unlike other Dedicated Magazine Apps like GQ.  But overall, Zinio is a real feat for magazine lovers and is also available for iPhone.
