Update, May 12, 2011: I see this is a very popular post here. Understand that this list is not comprehensive and that it has not been updated since it was first posted. I don’t intend to do any update, either.
The App Store is a disorganized disaster and this list is further proof of it.
This is a list of magazines created by using the search term “magazine” in the App Store (for iPad), using the desktop iTunes software.
If you have a magazine for sale and it’s not on this list, your business is in deep shit if you’re counting on Apple helping people find it by “magazine” word search!
The list is in alphabetical order. If your magazine is missing, complain to Apple, not me.

“The App Store is a disorganized disaster and this list is further proof of it.”
Could you explain why you think this is so?
Apple’s App Store Needs Librarians
I will not disagree with you that the app store is a mess (when will Apple clean that up?) but remember that as a developer with some constraints you can choose the keywords that you want people to be able to use to find your app.
If someone has a magazine that’s not on your list, then they might start by reading the developer instructions and updating their keywords accordingly.
Hoodgrown magazine has “Magazine” in its frikkin App Store listing title. That it didn’t appear is just inexcusable.
Well, if that were the case, then Apple would have a problem somewhere. When I last had a look at the Apple Developer Guidelines a few months ago, the documents explicitly stated that the App name is searchable.
Actually, that appears to be the case. Search for “birds” and Angry Birds comes up right away. I just did a search for “magazine” in iTunes, and Hoodgrown came up. Here’s the snap. http://yfrog.com/h4e454j
How did you do your search?
We established via Twitter that Laura did her search via the Mac iTunes software. I did mine via the iTunes Windows software. I am in America, she is in Switzerland, so geography might have come into play too. Her screensnap also shows results that did not appear in my search. Inconsistency in App Store searches is nothing new. I encountered this with different results from Windows iTunes software vs an iPad or iPhone at an Apple Store. Apple’s search is just pathetic.
I have never got used to the iTunes software or search tool. I bought an iPod 2 years ago, but I got so frustrated with the software I took it back and got a Creatuve LAb MP4 player instead.
Needless to say I am not a big fan.
I love reading digital magazines on iPads and iPhones. I use Other edition’s newsstand for reading digital magazines. V Magazine for iPad
You guys are sad if you can’t navigate the app store. Are you guys 90?
You’re even sadder if you think that Store is faultless.
Wow, huge list on there! I suggest you keep updated regularly since i believe many peoples get the benefits of your blog post. It really helping peoples who love reading digital magazines on iPads and iPhones but didn’t know where to get them.
No. I will not be updating that list.
I just tried to find digital magazines in iTunes. I didn’t do an exhaustive search but there didn’t appear to be an easy way to find digital magazines. Amazon wasn’t much better. What I’m trying to do is decide if I want to buy an iPad or Fire and switch to digital delivery. Doesn’t look like the material is there yet. It appears that the way to find them in the iTunes store is to look for an app. Then you might have to go somewhere else and subscribe to the magazine to get the full issue. So much easier to just kill a tree and read them while I’m in the WC.
It probably wont last long, but at the moment you can ‘eyeball’ a list of all available magazines in the iTunes ‘newsstand’. See here http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewRoom?fcId=472365472&genreIdString=6021&mediaTypeString=Mobile+Software+Applications
459 today — which is one more than was there yesterday! See also http://exacteditionsblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/apples-newsstand-six-weeks-after-launch/
Great list, thanks for the effort
