MacAddict Magazine

Pros: Great How-To's and monthly CD
Cons: Overlook the pro-Mac rabidity to find the good stuff

MacAddict lives up to its title by being rabidly pro-Mac and pro-Apple in its news and commentary. It's a bit over the top even for a pro-Mac and pro-Apple person like myself. However, you shouldn't dismiss it just because of this, because inside is...

Pros: Entertaining and Educational
Cons: Occasionally offensive and juvenile

All to often I find myself reading magazine articles when my mind will start to wander. The content will be too stuffy or heavily focused on the technical. How to articles often read like text books.

MacAddict is welcome relief. Frequently...

Pros: CD chock full 'o software, colorful graphics
Cons: Mindless writing, as funny as a head cold

All loyal Mac followers should be familiar with MacAddict, which plays the Court Jester to MacWorld's Emperor. As a hard-core Mac addict myself, I have struggled with how to review this bit of media, because while they try hard, it never rises above the...

Pros: Well-Written articles, bright, interesting
Cons: None!

I first found this magazine in November of 1999. I was creating my own magazine for a design class I was in and needed a Mac magazine to get some ideas and pictures from. Well, the only one my local Wal-Mart had was MacAddict. I feel in love! I read...

Pros: Good tech and review section.
Cons: Only comes out once a month.

I have been a reader of MacAddict ever since I have been a Mac owner. At first I was not interested reading this magazine because the title didn't sound like something I would be interested in. I started reading what I thought would be the GOOD Mac...

Pros: Hip, funny, light, informative
Cons: NONE

MacAddict magazine, is one of the best Mac based magazines on the market!

MacAddict Magazine truly is writing for the dedicated Macintosh user. Even thought the subscription price is kind of high, it is well worth the money that you spend....

Pros: Great Articles, Great Reviews, Max!
Cons: Cost, Too Many Ads, and Some Articles about Way Too Expensive Products

MacAddict magazine is truly the magazine for Mac Lovers! I will admit that when this magazine first came out, it was trash. It had no substance. But that was then.

Last month, I purchased MacAddict Magazine because I wanted to read an article...

Pros: Humor and How-To Blended Nicely
Cons: The MacAddict website still leaves something to be desired.

I have subscribed to 3 other Mac magazines over the years (Mac Home Journal, MacWorld, Mac User), but I've allowed the others to lapse (or cease publication) while I have no qualms about paying my $30 bucks a year for MacAddict.

The MacAddict...

Pros: Great for any Mac user
Cons: Not for the professional

Many of my more serious, Mac-using friends don't like this publication at all; they prefer the more, less friendly verbiage found on web sites like Macintouch and magazines like MacWorld. But for people who crave a little humanization in such an...

Pros: The best Mac magazine around for the price.
Cons: Haven't found any yet!

Every time I receive an issue I am amazed. With your subscription you not only get the monthly magazine, but you get a free CD with every issue. The CD contains trials, demos, freeware and shareware. It is a great thing to be able to try before you buy a...

Pros: Free software
Cons: NONE

What a wonderful magazine! I love the articles and especially the CD with the freeware and shareware and demos of all the current software available out there for the poor neglected Macintosh. It seems as though the world runs on PCs but I have to tell...

Pros: the CD, layout
Cons: too many ads at the back

Nothing frustrates me more than topic specific magazines that sound like a foreign language. Many of the computer magazines on the market seem to be writing to the people that invented the computer rather than the group of us that use it for work and...

Pros: Jam packed CD, good reviews, ask us is very helpful, back of magazine is too
Cons: Letters article is trash, logo and cd interface trashy

Recently MacAddict has been going into a decline. They got a lousy new logo which is supposed to look all techno like everything else is. I think it's awful. They also make lots of mistakes, like in the contents the page number for such and such article...

Pros: comes with a disk
Cons: immature, silly, stupid, language is PG at times

I've been a faithful reader of Mac Addict since issue one, and even had a letter published back a few years ago... however I've seen a long spiral into juvenile publishing lately.

The magazine is hip-slick and cool if your in the teenage...

Pros: Included CD contains a whole bunch of software
Cons: A bit heavy on the anti-Microsoft rhetoric

Do you believe that Microsoft Windows is the root of all evil in the universe? Is Windows the direct or indirect cause of everything bad that has ever happened to you? Did you quit your last job on the first day because you found out that someone in...
