Get access to over 1,000 issues of the comprehensive monthly guide to the best of classical music on your iPad and iPhone for just £6.99 per month.

If you want to read interviews with the leading figures of classical music and find out which are the latest must-buy classical releases, then Gramophone is the magazine for you. With its unrivalled 90 years of experience, Gramophone gives its readers the world’s most in-depth and knowledgeable analysis of classical music, past and present.

The iPad/iPhone edition brings you selected pages from the latest issue as soon as it is published. You can subscribe within the application for full access, which will give you the latest issue along with every edition from our 90 year history. With over access to over 1,000 since our launch in 1923 you will then be able to explore one of the most comprehensive and detailed guides to classical music any enthusiast could ever want.

During your subscription you can sync back issues to your device. These will remain in place if your subscription expires, unless your device removes them (for example when running low on disk space). Re-downloading issues requires a current subscription.

The digital magazine has fully interactive navigation and search functionality to make using the digital edition simple. Features include:

• Swipe or tap the page edges to flip to next/previous page.
• Use the animated thumbnail view to flick through the pages.
• Latest issues come with links to Apple Music so you can hear samples of the recordings
• Pinch or double-tap pages to zoom.
• Switch between single or double-page view.
• Search the current issue or the archive.
• Tap any page links to web sites, email addresses, phone numbers or maps.
• Tap contents-page links to jump to a particular article.
• Sync issues to your device for offline reading (requires wi-fi).
• Network connection required otherwise.

We recommend first running the app within a wi-fi area so it can sync the latest issue to your device - after that you can use it anywhere. Subscribers will receive new issues automatically.

Subscriptions are available within the app at the following prices:

£6.99 per month
£79.99 per year

In addition, please note the following standard features of auto-renewable iTunes subscriptions:

• Your payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions will renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Apple Account Settings after purchase.
• No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during active subscription period.

Keeps crashing

I have had this app for almost a year and love the magazine but for the last couple of weeks it has crashed over and over again. Have reinstalled a couple of times and no change. Will have to cancel my subscription. I cannot even open the latest issue for more than 5 seconds. Please fix this.

WARNING - non-renewal loses you all issues!

Gramophone needs no introduction. Its the best classical music magazine in the world, and the digital version is first-rate. You can even search and read reviews from the entire history of the magazine. BUT. Unlike every other magazine Ive subscribed to on the iPad, if you dont renew your subscription, the issues youve downloaded to your iPad are no longer accessible! Theyre locked against further access, even though you paid for them! This is simply wrong. I can understand losing continued access to the review archive, but if youve paid for the issues, you should be allowed continued access to them. This policy is not disclosed anywhere on the store. Gramophone, change your policy! Apple, does this accord with the terms of your agreement with the publisher? Im very upset by this. To top it off, this is not a cheap subscription!

Mediocre interface

As magazine apps go this one is mediocre at best. Given the effort that many other publications have put into designing their digital versions "from the ground up", this is little more than a print version that has been turned into an interactive PDF. The only real benefit the app provides (apart from the obvious convenience of having the magazine on your iPad) are the links to albums on iTunes.

good app but does not cache the issue being read

well done, except an annoying issue: when reading an issue, it reloads from Internet each time, instead of keeping a local copy.

Not worth it

After paying for a subscription through Exact Editions, this doesnt allow me to read the entire magazine. Disappointing.

I love this!

I love that this magazine is available digitally! The interface is superior to some other magazines that are available. With the magazine in the news stand it is there ready to read even when the wifi is not there. I now have one of my favorite magazines accessible on my iPad. That is so wonderful. The pages render as beautifully as the paper version. It is easy to zoom to make print larger. It is an easy swipe between pages or you can hit the scroll button at the bottom to quickly move around the magazine! Thank you!

Beware! This is just a magazine rental.

I bought a 1 month subscription. At the end of the month my subscription expired, and the month I had bought (November 2011) disappeared. I tried to restore it, and was told I had no current subscription. So I guess theyre saying that you only "rent" the mag while you have an ongoing subscription, and if you let it lapse, you lose all your editions. Ripoff! UPDATE: iTunes have confirmed that you only get content while you are subscribed. So you could subscribe for a year, and once the subscription is over, you have no access to that content, ever again. Putting aside the subscription issue, the iPad edition of the magazine is devoid of any functionality or features that take advantage of the iPad platform. Its basically just a PDF dump of the print material. So its not worth subscribing to even if you got to keep all the copies. This is a putrid product.
