Latest reviews of Bird Watcher’s Digest app for iPhone and iPad
I typically read my digital BWD edition on my iPhone - which made all the digital extras unavailable until now! Smooth operation - great features , easy to use read and scroll through - its just like the magazine so you dont miss out on the fun ads! Thanks so much for going to the expense of putting this together!
Works great, and looks terrific on the iPad! I love reading the blog posts that are fed into the news feed. Cant wait to see the next issue!
Short version: This is, without a doubt, *the* most intelligently formatted iPad zine to date. If youre a birder, you definitely want this. If not, you still owe it to yourself to check out at least one issue. The layout, combined with the content, is an absolute delight. Sorry I cant award 10 stars!
I had subscribed to the printed magazine and then converted to the digital version only. Turns out that I would forget to read the digital version because it was on my laptop. Its a little more difficult to open up the laptop when Im waiting in the dentist office. But, now that I can read the magazine on my iPhone, this will really work for me. BWD seems to be on the leading edge with this app!
This is the first app that I downloaded to the Newstand on my iPad. The BWD content is not only terrific, the graphics will make your iPad virtually come alive. I also love the digital interactive features
