Such a rushed upgrade. It feels like the authors were simply trying to cash in early. All the features left out, all the backwards usability, in exchange of what? I think it simply only have a nicer interface.
No to mention all the trouble I still have with synchronizing with iPad.
Honestly quite a let down. However I still have to use it, because my research doesn't stop when they release something this bad.
I have tried v3 before and it was horrible and therefore never got any interest into Zinio.
Then I tried iPad version. Initially it was horrible as well, very sluggish. The current version feels better.
Then I tried v4 beta. It was still based on Adobe AIR. VERY VERY POOR performance!!
Zinio is just a demonstration that Adobe s*cks! Uses a lot of CPU, yet the animations and page turn, fade in and out, are ALL EXTREMELY slow and sluggish!!!
And I am running it on almost latest MBP with 6GB or RAM!
I would even say when browsing the magazines, iPad version is even smoother than on desktop!
Although after years Opera almost catch up with the speed on Mac, their desktop Mac team still couldn't get the Chinese fonts in UTF-8 encoding right. What a sad small company. It is basically the only software that has the problem for years and still they couldn't get it fixed. So much for Cocoa migration.

I really hope they get rid of Adobe.
