"What a load of cr*p"
Version: Zinio Magazine Reader 3.7.4.6985
Pros
None whatsoever
Cons
Everything - keep well away from this pile of junk
Summary
Total fail. I've wasted three hours of my life on this rubbish. I won't be buying anything from Zinio again until I can read it in something reliable like Foxit Reader.

"Horrible app that never works!STAY AWAY!"
Version: Zinio Magazine Reader 3.7.4.6985
Pros
NONE! This product and it's service dept have no outstanding qualities.
Cons
Just trying to install the app is frustrating. Adobe Air will not install using Chrome. Using IE I had no problem. Now I'm trying to download my purchased magazines but for two days straight it has told me it is "unable to download try again later". And customer service is the worst! Talked to a guy named "Pablo" last time I called who lied about the price of my subscription to get me to renew. I had to call back again to reverse the charge to what I was promised. I have two issues left and it's bye bye Zinio.
Summary
If you like frustrating app installs, DRM that only allows you to use their app to read the magazines, problems downloading purchased reading material, then by all means sign up. FYI, If you have the magazine sent to your house through other companies on the net, the price is the same or cheaper for the actual content and you can do whatever you want with it when your done!

"Good Idea, Terrible implementation"
Version: Zinio Magazine Reader 3.7.4.6985
Pros
This is the older version of their software. It worked well, and allowed you to save files locally with recognizable filenames.
Cons
They discontinued this old version, very sad. The new version is based on Adobe AIR, and it STINKS. It is slower, does not work as well, saves magazines in many small pieces, and uses unrecognizable names for directories, so you don't know what is where. Typical Adobe arrogance. Take a good technology, make is slow and pathetic, charge lots for it.

"Zinio is a complete waste of time - does not work"
Version: Zinio Magazine Reader 3.7.4.6985
Pros
None None None
Cons
Software does not work. Zinio support consists of people that tell you that it is all your fault, just follow these three pages of instructions on how to reinstall, and reinstall and reinstall.
Summary
No. No. No.
I tried this with Motor Trend, and am glad that I also get it in the snail mail. The Zinio just shows the front page and nothing else. -
