I have three magazine subscriptions, Total 911, Top Gear both UK subscriptions I have shipped here to the US, well worth it. Excellence is my third one. Total 911 and Excellence do well to compliment each other very well. They've both run the IMS articles in the last couple of months.

I sent an email to the Editor of total 911 a couple of months back asking "why the hell do I need to pay for the IPAD version when I get the paper copy?", the IPAD version should be included for us who pay for the paper copy. He did reply saying they are working on it.

Both magazines are compulsory reading for my 7 & 9 year old kids, much better than some of the kiddie books they read to me.

There's a great article on IMS failures in the current "Flat 6" magazine out of France (yes, it's in French).

I would buy the app but the reviews are terrible. They say that the app crashes and doesn't work. Maybe we should wait till they correct the issues.

There were lots of complaints when it first came out, I'm sure they've fixed the major issues in the last 9 months.

I don't know but I had also heard that they don't have the full content in the online mag.

Tried it out last night. Initially the app did not load all of the pages of the current issue. But after I read one article the other pages had filled in. Good magazine, nice app. Looks like future issues will be $4.99 each which makes this a much less expensive way to read the magazine if you have been buying it off the newsstand.

To get a subscription in the states will be over $100. The app files are the same as the magazine.
