Latest reviews of The Costco Connection app for iPhone and iPad
Its May 19th. Where is the May issue? Id like to see current feature items.
Please make a full creep iPad version
Top and only match in app store. This just has the magazine and ads. It is not the shopping app.
I actually find many of the articles in Costcos magazine quite interesting; theyre kept short and informative. As for this app, I dont see some of the issues other folks complained about - the current issue was right there, and I was offered a free subscription so I assume that it will download the next issues when they are available. I dont quite get why there are two ways of presenting the material though - a scan of the magazine and a ad-less page per article (where btw. the text size function appears to be inoperative). Why not have just one PDF-based (i.e. fully text searchable) version that looks the same as the magazine? I also think that a nice touch up would be a page turn effect which I have seen in other e-book/magazine apps. But by and large this app works for me, and its free content so Im not complaining, only suggesting.
Even tho it says it has an iPad version, all I get is the iPhone version. Fix please!
