Rue Morgue app for iPhone and iPad

Its like having the really magazine with extras. Its interactive since you have many links to click within each page. Even video links ! Absolutely fantastic ! Thank you for this awesome app :)

I love my digital subscription to Rue Morgue. Bright, easy to read and with all the juicy horror and culture in entertainment news you get with the print version. The hot links feature is an amazing bonus; just touch a movie review to view its preview. Just brilliant. If you are a horror nerd, this is a must have for your iPad.

I purchased an issue and its status doesnt change from "processing purchase"

Compared to other ezines the quality of this unforgivable. Everything looks cheap and over digitized. I tried to contact their customer service and got no reply. Dont settle for this.

Price is too high - even Empire magazine is only $20 per year or $1.99 per issue. This is digital delivery and should be much cheaper than purchasing at the newsstand. Also, 50% or more of your magazine are ads - why is it so expensive for a digital copy when your advertisers are paying you so much revenue for the ads? Reduce your price to $2 per issue and I will definitely buy a subscription.

I love Rue Morgue magazine. I was super excited about buying my first digital copy. Problem that I have is that the resolution will stay super low so I can never read the print. Hope u guys fix it. I really want to buy the special additions. Best horror mag ever tho!

First I should make it clear that I love (LOVE) Rue Morgue magazine, the content and quality of writing is consistently top notch and the design is impeccable (a rarity in the genre and all the more remarkable for it). Ive been eagerly awaiting this app for a couple of months, and the results are disappointing. Its tragic to see the promise of magazine publishing on the iPad fail due to shoddy implementation, much as 3D was once hailed as the savior of the film industry only to wither under an onslaught of retro-fitted cash-ins. I thought that Zinios lazy port of their desktop app was the low point of this particular genre, but Im sorry to say that my favorite magazine has sunk even lower. This is basically a PDF (which is something weve wearily grown used to), made worse by the inclusion of blue and red outlines added over the top of ad art and hot links. The reduced size means that reading at full page view is a challenge, but the enlarged view lags as it adjusts resolution and a side swipe is more likely to take you to the next page than the next column. Even glossing over the fact that second issue accepted payment but refuses to download, this has to be classed as a huge missed opportunity and we can only hope that Adobes recent announcement of their digital magazine tools (which should put more control in the hands of any publisher willing to fork out the $700 monthly subscription fee) will allow for more device-appropriate re-purposing, a consequent increase in readership and the ability to monetize that content.

I love the ideas like being able to access media through the pages, but I have two complaints: 1) the price is too high. I know its probably worth that, but since I also buy the hard copy, its hard to spend the extra money. Perhaps even $4.99 would be more reasonable. 2) the issues come out pretty late. Id be a lot more tempted to buy them if the new issues came out before the hard copies. 3) the load times when enlarging a page are a little long.
