Review: iPad apps of women's life style magazines II

Marie Claire (US): Tester - June 2011 issue

Price: GBP 2.49 per issue / GBP 9.95 for 12 issues

Pages: 217

Layout & Interface:

The app was developed by the digital media Zinio and it has a "library" page to achive your purchased issues and a "shop" for all the issues for sale. So far, it stocks all issues from Jan 2009.

It follows mostly the traditional format of paper magazine however for the purpose of better graphic illustration, instead of small prints, some pages have separated texts and photos. In the bottom of the screen, it also provides a sliding bar for you to browse the thumbnails of all pages with page numbers.

Multi-media:

I like this bit of MC the most. Not only the featured videos in the cover stories and so on, it also provides media such as: "Tap for Tips" to give you tips for the makeup or hairstyle on the page, "Tap for slideshow" for a quoted story, "360 degree views" for the editor picked shoes. Furthermore, you can simply click for trailers and audio clips of the recommended film and music list of the month. Thinking about how much time it would save you and the smooth operation it offers, you will certainly love it.



Things need to improve:
- I would like to see a zoom-in version of selected products in their fashion pages
- Now we have to wonder when the British version comes for sale

Bonues:
For the recent three issues, it offers free "featured" pages for you to browse.

===

After reviewing a few magazines, I am amazed that most of the well known titles only offer the US edition and hence I said the British Vogue offers something unique even others seem more fun to read and play with.

In addition to the titles above, I would also recommend:

Allure: for beauty lovers.

Elle Collections:
The iPad version of the Elle Collection


This free apps is released every season for a collection of top 10 catwalks. It picks up 10 desingers for each one, the Collections offers images, videos of the catwalk, Elle Opinions and sometimes back stage clips. The latest issue for AW2011 was just released and you just can't miss it.

ELLE Taiwan: If you happen to speak the language, this edition is sleek and fun.

I also happen to sew a few titles only offer the Russion edition, e.g. Harper's Bazaar. More fashion magazines such as i-D, Another simply do not have an iPad app for you. But who said they have to?

Happy iPadding!
