Just a magazine
The Hot Rod magazine for the IPad, works, but it is just like leafing through a paper magazine. It is like they scanned the pages into a PDF. It does not take advantage of the capabilities of the IPad; no videos, no sound clips, no animations, it is just the magazine in digital form. A real shame, because a magazine like Hot Rod could be really spectacular for the IPad.
The app does work, there are no real serious glitches. You can scroll page by page through the magazine.
There are some problems because it is just a digital copy. A couple of the adds, take forever to become sharp, and on my IPad mini, some of the text is so small it is unreadable, and has to be enlarged to read. Some simple programming could have made some sections so much better with menus, and photos that enlarged when scrolled over.
