The app is horrible. I purchased the digital version of the magazine but the app doesn't allow you to read the articles. Don't waste your money.

Crap.

This app used to work fine but not anymore. I will cancel my subscription and get the issues free by borrowing from my local library.

App crash and subscription confusion

App crashes and closes repeatedly. App description should also clarify that a subscription to the paper copy does not grant you access to digital reading, but this information isn't mentioned.

Great Magazine, Terrible App

The app is buggy, takes forever to load, and loses your place when you exit. It makes the reading experience a lot less enjoyable. Too bad.

This app is not optimized for the iPhone Plus.

This app is not optimized for the iPhone Plus, and thus it's content is enlarged and blurry. I assumed apps like Backpacker would be better on the larger screen of the iPhone plus, but instead they are worse. Instead of being able to view more content, the buttons take up much more of the screen and everything is pixelated.

Nice App!

Just subscribed, excellent articles, reviews, and stunning photography! Runs without a hitch on both my iPad mini and iPhone 6 Plus. Runs perfect on the iPad Pro I have now also!
Metal
Render advanced 3D graphics and perform data-parallel computations. Get fine-grained access to the GPU while minimizing CPU overhead. The Metal Framework provides extremely low-overhead access to the GPU, enabling incredibly high performance for your sophisticated graphics rendering and computational tasks. Metal eliminates many performance bottlenecks—such as costly state validation—that are found in traditional graphics APIs. Metal moves all expensive state translation and compilation operations out of the critical path of your most performance sensitive rendering code. It provides precompiled shaders, state objects, and explicit command scheduling to ensure that your application achieves the highest possible performance and efficiency. Graphics, compute, and blit commands can be used together seamlessly and efficiently. Metal is specifically designed to exploit modern architectural considerations, such as multiprocessing and shared memory, to make it easy to parallelize the creation of GPU commands.

UserNotifications Fram...
The UserNotifications framework (UserNotifications.framework) supports the delivery and handling of local and remote notifications. You use the classes of this framework to schedule the delivery of local notifications based on specific conditions, such as time or location. Apps and extensions also use this framework to receive and potentially modify local and remote notifications when they are delivered to the user’s device.
SKPhotoBrowser
Swift
The powerful programming language that is also easy to learn. Swift is a powerful and intuitive programming language for macOS, iOS, watchOS and tvOS. Writing Swift code is interactive and fun, the syntax is concise yet expressive, and Swift includes modern features developers love.

The Ad Support framework provides apps with access to an identifier that can be used only for serving advertisements, as well as a flag which indicates whether a user has limited ad tracking. Accessing the advertising identifier requires apps to read and honor the opt-out flag.
AFNetworking
AFNetworking is a networking library for iOS and Mac OS X. It's built on top of the Foundation URL Loading System, extending the powerful high-level networking abstractions built into Cocoa. It has a modular architecture with well-designed, feature-rich APIs that are a joy to use.
