Customer Reviews of MacLife
Economical updates MAC WORLD HAS BECOME TOO COSTLY. MAC ADDICT IS ECONOMICAL AND PROVIDES ALL THE CURRENT INFO I REQUIRE. GOOD REVIEWS AND PLEASANT FORMAT
MacAddict Not Worth It Anymore
I have Issue #1 and just received the lastest issue (March 06), but I've let my subscription run-out. MacAddict isn't worth it anymore.

>First, I loved MacAddict for "the Disc." Back in the days of pre-broadband, the Disc was a godsend! Software galore! But now in the days of broadband, the Disc is not a good enough reason to get MacAddict. The only original conent on the Disc is the monthly staff movie, I think I watched one staff movie over the years.

>Second, the magazine seems to have lost quite a bit of content over the years. The magazine started at over 100 pages and is now a slim 80 pager. Often there is one "feature" article and that's it. Lately I spend about 10 minutes scanning the magazine for anything worth reading and then file it with the others.

>Third, the magazine has a pretty weird view of who "Mac Addicts" are. "Mac Addicts" are accomplished musicians (who use Apple's GarageBand) and accomplished cinematographers (who capture video with high-end digital cameras and use iMovie and iDVD on a near daily basis.) They're also people who have the latest and greatest hardware who upgrade at the drop of a hat. I don't do any of those things, and I wager that the majority of Mac users don't do most of those on a regular basis.

>Forth, their review section is hit-or-miss. Sometimes, they review relavant products that a good majority of Mac users want to know about. Other times they review fringe products (MIDI accordion, anyone?) or products out of the price range of all but the independently wealthy. The rating system seems to suffer from grade inflation. Nearly every product earns a score of 4 out of 5. If they like something, it gets a 5, if they don't like something, it gets a 3.

>On a positive note, Mac Addict is a "fun" magazine. And its news coverage is pretty good.
Comedy relief, fun articles, and short reviews
Not as deep as MacWorld but worth the subscription due to the alternative perspective on software and hardware. Very fun to read with a unique style of writing. The reviews can rarely be spotty with lack of depth as the culprit in some cases. The majority, though, are on target. The best part of the magazine are the unique 3rd party hardware finds. Overall a great addition and enjoyable read.
