5.0 out of 5 stars Can a magazine really be worth this price? February 4, 2005

By Philip Lipton

You bet, this one is. There are only a few Mac oriented magazines out there and they all wish they could be this well written. This is a large format magazine and each issue is filled with a series of how-to articles that I consider the best written, best illustrated and easiest to follow. I can slog through some fairly dull reading but this is the magazine I would give to my wife / daughter / co-worker to explain how to use iChat, hook up an iSight camera, customize iCal, get started with Safari and so on.

They review many new software tittles and the latest hardware goodies. Since it is a magazine, the reviews are very current. Each issue comes with a CD and they are starting to include pdf copies of prior issues, great for reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars This magazine ROCKS! December 5, 2004

I started reading iCreate with the very first issue and haven't stopped yet. I had recently purchased an iBook for my sister in an effort to bring her into the 21st century but for all of the ease the Mac offers, my sister still wasn't really doing anything but using email...and even then maybe once a week. I picked up a copy of iCreate for her when it first came out. I liked it because it was written in plain english and it seemed that every page was a tutorial. Well it is 11 issues later and I am still hooked on this magazine. My sister has her own web page and is a master if the iLife program..all thanks to iCreate magazine. I read it too,,,love the disc and the articles. I find that it is better than Mac Addict (which hurts to say) and some of the other Mac mags. This magazine is geared towards the beginner to intermediate user but I'll tell you...even experianced users will enjoy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pricey but excellent content. October 26, 2004

I picked up a copy at a local book store strictly for the article on networking and found a lot more useful items included. If you're into Macs for using the iLife and similar software, there are a ton of good "tutorials" included in each issue. Newstand price was $15.50, so it's more on the order of buying a paperback book instead of a magazine. Content is excellent--I found things in the tutorials that even the local Apple store didn't give in their classes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Phantom Magazine March 7, 2006

By J. Lonergan

Great magazine couldn't recommend it any higher for anyone starting out with macs. iCreate also introduced a great Pro section in 2005 to delveinto the workings of ProApps such as Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, mDVD Studio Pro etc. Now here's the thing, I'm wondering how the magazine can be available for subscription while the magazine was put on hold late last year. Me, or anyone I know with a subscription haven't recieved the mag for months, and there has been no contact from the people who handle the subscription despite zillions of e-mails. So be careful, get the full story before you hand over any money!!!!!!!!!!! check the web for similar storries, you will find them

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice mag but costly. Subscribe directly saves a little. September 24, 2010

By George

I subscribed at their website; used promotional code "USA3"
The price dropped from '80 Pounds to '50 Pounds ... thats less than $USD 80 for 13 issues (Amazon's price is over $USD 139).
Downside: (1) the credit card will add a fee for foreign currency; (2) You don't get Amazon's satisfaction protection.

8/27/2011 I just renewed my subscription. The code "USA3" still works; 13 issues delivered to USA for 50 Pounds. Great magazine, highly recommended.

8/6/2012 Time to renew? Promotional Code "USA3" no longer works. "USA4" is a new code, does work, but the price is £65 for 13 issues. That's over $101 USD and exceeds my budget by a lot. Digital edition may be less expensive, but since I don't have an iPad, that's irrelevant to me. (Come to think of it, much of the mag's content is now iPad-centric.) Guess I'll let the subscription expire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Magazine, just don't buy it here January 21, 2010

Beautiful, well-published magazine (why can't the US based mac publishers produce something of this quality???) iCreate blows MacLife and MacWorld away, they are not even in the same league.

This price is a bit higher than purchasing it directly from the publisher's website. If you look inside a copy of the magazine itself, and they offer US subscribers a price of $126 for 13 issues (at the Nov 2009 exchange rate). The offer code required for this discount is "USA".

Now, I just can't wait for the next big announcement from Apple next week!
