Pros and cons of MIM: AFV Edition app for iPhone and iPad

MIM: AFV Edition app good for

Exceptional and varied content. In todays world, Military Illustrated Modeller provides the ability to have a good source of modelling articles at your command. Even better, the downloaded issues can be read offline.
This is the best modeling magazine. The artwork is outstanding and relevant to the subject being discussed. The reviews and build articles are helpful and interesting. It is a quality publication put together by modelers who are not only top caliber, but care about their craft and the modeling community. In the digital format, issues are reasonably priced and I find them more useful and friendly being as I can carry many of them on my iPad, and the photos and text are instantly zoomable to get to that detail that may be hard to see in a print hard copy format.

Some bad moments

It often crash. Once it crashed, it can not reload data any more. Then you have to re-install the application in each crash.
I love the content, but whoever coded this app needs to be fired. The mag uses 3d graphics to show the pages opening as you browse, but the textures used are so low-res and blurry that you cant read them. Then when you pinch in to Zoom, theres a pause before a high resolution scan of the page is loaded. But because theyre not using mip mapping (simple opengl graphics setting), all you see is noisy morre patterns until you zoom in so close that you cant read a complete sentence without scrolling constantly. And this is on an iPhone 4. I imagine its worse on the iPad with its lower resolution screen. Very very sloppy guys!
App begins to load and then quits. Older versions worked fine.
Every release has new issues, former purchases become invalid randomly, and the animation effect when opening a mag is extremely annoying. The magazines are awesome, the PocketMags app is horrible.
The content of these magazines are top of the line. The best modellers in the world collaborate every issue. very useful, full with technique tips, information and inspirational material. A must if you are into military modeling!
This is a great military modeling magazine! Convenient to have on mobile devices. Great content, excellent imagery/photography!
