Hi-Fi+ is Europe’s premier English-language high-end audio magazine. Whether it’s the latest in digital audio technology or the best turntable you’ve ever heard, Hi-Fi+ magazine is the ultimate audiophile authority.

Our goal is clear; to seek out the finest audio components money can buy. Music is the soundtrack to all our lives and we think that the better that soundtrack, sounds the more enriched our lives can be. A good audio system can open up new avenues of music that might surprise you. We don’t differentiate; it could be a classic valve amplifier or a state-of-the-art music server – if it sounds good, we want to know and we want to tell you about it. The difference between good sound and great sound lies in the details… and we are obsessive about detail.

We aren’t constrained by measurement or bogged down in stuffy old paradigms. We are relevant and a little bit irreverent. Hi-Fi+ features some of the best writers in the business, all passionate about making music sound as good as it possibly can. We seek out the finest audio components – and the latest and greatest music – and aren’t afraid of finding the best, whatever the cost.

Pros and cons of hi-fi+ Global Network app for iPhone and iPad

hi-fi+ Global Network app good for

Basically no wood is used to write awsome articles on high end hifi. The app can be slow but articles require you to read at slow pace instead of U S mags which throw alot of specs at you. Hi Fi plus is more personal about music and the developement of highend audio.

Its a good magazine and since I cant really get a paper copy anywhere easy I get to read electro version. Its all good once you get the copy downloaded but I just dont like the interface of this app.

For the most part, Hi-Fi+ gives the reader good, unbiased, and fair reviews on many brands of hi-fi components. However, they often miss mentioning a multitude of lesser known manufacturers who make great audio products. In this regard, they are hardly any better than TAS, but much better than Stereophile, which has declined to a point of becoming practically worthless. Theres plenty of room for improvement, but Hi-Fi+ is well worth reading.

Some bad moments

Basically it allow you to buy electronic copy of the magazine. The viewer is very slow and painful interface.

This app is soooooo unstable, I think it crashes every time I open it. Can the developers fix this PLEASE?

Paid up until Oct. 2016 and cant get my issues on my new iPad pro. Never had any luck with PocketMags support. Stick with Zinio.

I like this app. It has cool animation for flipping pages, and the in-app purchase of individual issues or subscriptions is cheaper than ordering an electronic subscription from the publisher. There is one very annoying feature though. On any page that links to web content, there is a pulsating circle in one corner of the page. This is very annoying and distracting. I flip past these pages as fast as possible - probably not what the advertisers want. There doesnt seem to be any way to turn this off.

Probably one the best audio magazines out there, but the software controls to read it on an iPhone need significant improvement. Specifically, the control for resizing the page doesnt work consistently on my iPhone 4, leaving the text blurry on most pages. Content likely needs to be presented a more e-native format, not just an online redo of the printed mag.

I was excited to be able to read this hifi rag on me iPad. Unfortunately its almost impossible to read the font...you have to zoom in on every page just to see the writing clearly. They obviously are lazy and dont care about the end user. BOOOO!!!!!!
