Strad review
Not enough double bass topics are covered. Too expensive.

Great magazine, great app.
I love the Strad magazine. What's nice about the app is that it will play audio and video clips attached to the articles. A nice addition.

Informative
...and well thought out. Lots of interesting and up-to-date information about the strings world. I would give it five stars if it were a little bit more budget-friendly.

Huge improvements all around!
I hoped to among the first to write a review of the newest version of this app, since I had had such awful things to say about the last version. I have downloaded on both iPhone and iPad and have only used for a few hours but...wow!
They have altered nearly everything about the app: its look, the way it presents pages and images, the animated drop-down of the contents, the various display options--all new, state-of-the-art and attractive, as well as functional.
More important, the app SEEMS much more stable. It loads faster; downloads of issues and related audio and video materials are faster; and when it does crash (which it has done just once thus far), it pops right back up without the endless "updating info" message.
Remaining details: the app seems only to open in portrait mode on the iPad; it's hard to figure out how to get video materials after having first downloaded an entire issue; and that's all I can think of just now!
Sincere congratulations to the developer team for having turned a dog into a star in the making!
-------
Addendum: Twenty days into using the new app, it's possible to say the stability has really been improved. Downloading is faster & easier. The inclusion of audio and video clips, so you can hear & see the subject under discussion, is brilliant!

Crashes before it even starts.
Won't stay open long enough to even download an issue.

Doesn't work
App crashed a few times when I first tried to open it. Then I tried to download the July 2012 issue but got the Dec 2012 issue instead. When I tried to read it, the app crashed again. I've never experienced this with another app.
