Latest reviews of British Chess Magazine app for iPhone and iPad

Superb.
...Also superbly sized in print. Quality of publication, analysis and breadth is not matched.
Magazine Is Blurry
I cant read it. The text is too fuzzy.
Love Chess?
If you love Chess you will love this mag.
Great!
Only accessed free previews so far, used to subscribe to print edition. Sharp clear fonts, coverage of top tournaments and other topics. A lot of focus on the online version to keep proving. High quality in every way.

Excellent content in the magazine. Probably second only to New In Chess for news/games from top events, and better than NIC for instructional material. Only two drawbacks to the app. 1) The interface is a bit confusing, with the app maker insisting on inserting itself between you and the content provider. And 2) the app has no interaction at all, meaning youd better have a pocket chess set handy when youre going through the material as this is just digitized paper Addendum: the creators of the app are unreliable, though. They will delete every issue youve paid for whenever they feel like it.
