 A very Good Mac Magazine January 15, 2005
11 out of 14 found this review helpful
If you read some of the older reviews some make the comment that Mac Addict isn't what it used to be. I'm not sure what they're getting at with that. This magazine has been steadily improving over the years. Lots of reviews, and the included CD is a great tool, filled with free ware, share ware, and samples of commercial software that allow you to try the program before buying it.
If your a Mac engineer it may not be enough for you, but for most of us this is a good source of info.
Definitely subscribe if you own a Mac! November 17, 2004

I have been subscribed for little over a year now (no discs on my magazines though - they must have phased this out). I look forward to the day my Mac Addict arrives as it is always full of great tips to make life easier. A must have for anyone who owns a Mac, this magazine contains useful tips, troubleshooting, guides to free downloads, and loads of tech support. I especially love the Q&A section, and find that this part is the most useful to my day to day computing needs. I have just renewed my subscription for another year!

Where Macworld is bad, Addict is dreadful. It is dumbed down to the level of Teen Beat, and the "reviews" don't deserve the name. The extent to which it drools over Apple is embarassing, leaving no pretence of independence. Like its competitor, it exploits the crummy support that typifies the computer industry, so we get articles about the "secrets" of such and such product. A "secret" in the computer industry is a feature or defect that has not been properly documented by the manufacturer. This should be blasted, not applauded. But Addict is happy to exploit readers by selling them the information they should have gotten when they purchased the product.

i got a subsription after not reading the mag for several years. its turned from fun and creative to mediocre and lifeless. It feels like this is being published out of someones basement. The articles are all a month behind Macworld and usually are based around the mags highest selling point, the demo cd. Then just for fun, theres articles on how to make your mouse blink or how to turn your mac on with the garage door opener.
The last 3 issues have been exactly the same, covering iLife and only get slightly more desriptive from the previous issue.
I used to love this magazine. Now its kinda just fallen into a steady groove.

It's the most popular magazine at Apple and its reviews are less biased than Macworld's. Macworld has sadly deteriorated into an advertising rag.
