???? I've never used this app before and not sure what to expect, I want that credit ASAP please!

:) Thanks!

Got it!!!!

Can someone let me know if Time or macleans is o available, and the cost... Oh... The canadian versions - thanks guys. (I'm to lazy to download and check myself)

What happened to the 25$ credit thing?

Swarm this app to show support to Zinio... We need them to feel they're very appreciated XD

Hi All! Im the Zinio CMO -

Please complete this form for the $25. http://www.jotform.com/form/11354659169. We can't put it in the app - so you need to register your app and let us know who you are. We will email it to you within 48 hours.

Enjoy the app!

Looks great and plan on using it. But before I do I'm holding Blackberry to their 25 dollar credit that they shown on their you tube ch.

Just downloaded from App World, thanks for the heads up. ; )

Downloaded. Never used before, but giving it a shot because of its reputation around here.

I just followed the site listed above from Jeanniey.....it just takes me to webpage that ask for email and country for Blackberry App updates. Is thso the correct page to get access to that 25 dollar credit? Thanks

Hi jeannie

I tried that link for the credit and all I'm getting is "error the requested url could not be retrieved"

Could you check that link and repost again please?

Thanks for the link Jeanniey
I registered at the Zinio site you provided the link to, so I assume a credit will be applied to my account.
One question I see a lot of magazines on your site that do not not show up on the app. Is the app limited in its catalog?

they have some really good deals going on right now, I just got 12 issues of motor trend for $7

I just signed up for an account now so will I get the $25 credit?

Just signed in and bought the latest edition of Rolling Stone magazine. Interface is smooth enough. The next PlayBook with HD display will make this experience even better!

Thank you for supporting PlayBook, Zinio!

I signed in for some Zinio credit too.

Bought and issue of Outside Magazine and got TypeError: Error #1009 when downloading it.

sounds great . sign me up!

Good good. The apps are rolling in.... Thanks zinio.

"This item is not supported by your current device profile."

Sigh...

Thanks.. Registering for credit right now.

Bought and issue of Outside Magazine and got TypeError: Error #1009 when downloading it.

Now I know why.... Outside isn't formatted for RIM devices. I wish you could only see the publications available on RIM devices.

nice, will try this later, hopefully it's not too limited.

Not bad, the app looks good and 4 out of the 5 magazines I subscribe to are on the playbook version at launch along with regional versions of the 5th so that should be along soon too.

Here's hoping they see enough demand to keep updating the playbook version to add features like the text-only button on the ipad as that would seem quite a useful option on the smaller device.

Waiting for credits too thx zinio

Big +++ got PC Authority in Australia for 40% of its shelf price. AWESOME.
Sometimes bit hard to read text but thats the Playbook size more than anything.
Nice work!

48 hrs starts now lol

Just downloaded rhythm mag looks great. How do I get my credit?

It has a decent selection, but the over all feel isnt that great. A simple doubble tap should make the page fit to screen. instead of enlarging it and navigating your self. also couldnt find a way to have book marks so that next time i open a mag can go directly to the last page i left. left them a review too. hope future updates solve these problems.
but yes, they do have some good deals, even for indian content.
iam more happy that RIM is slowly expanding its app collection. happy to see all these new apps coming on board. just imagine a app/magzine/game on ur pb that can also be viewed on ur bb10 phone or on your car screen (ofcourse not when driving). food for thought :)

Forgot to say, another good thing about this app is i can buy in my local currency (Rupees) and not USD. so need need to pay fx charges to bank/credit card.

Thanks to Zinio! One of my 2 subscriptions showed up right away. Waiting for the other, which is due any day now. Hope that the ability to download back issues shows up soon as well. A good start!

WTF! I've been waiting for Zinio, and now that it is already in the appworld, I got Internal Error:[0003-0006] in appworld, can't download apps and can't even update apps, I already tried security wipe, but still no go, can somebody help.

Internal Error:[0003-0006]; in blackberry playbook appworld, help

The application is pretty decent. Hopefully, Zinio will keep working on it, and provide updates for some of the things that are missing (double tap for page fit to screen and bookmarks). However, I am a bit sad about my Esquire subscription not showing up as of yet. I know why that is the case. When I look at Esquire on the web application, it shows support for iPad, iPhone, and Android. BlackBerry, however, has not been added yet. Hence, until that happens, none of my magazines will show up on my PlayBook. Boo! The application is still in its infancy, so I am hoping, at some point, Esquire will have support for good ol BlackBerry. Overall, pretty happy with the Zinio app. It could work a bit better (some checkerboarding present) , but still not too bad. Kudos to Zinio.

Playbook is gaining traction - I am using it more and more every day. Add in Skype and look out!

Is the discount only for new subscribers? I can't see any % off...

downloading now! +1 love my free apps!

can't logon..maybe block by Beijing Great Wall...WTF

I received my confirmation email this morning from Zinio saying that I received to complimentary issues of Esquire and Elle magazine plus a $5 within 48 hours.
So I open the app and check to see if they are in my library. Nope not there.
Secondly I thought Jeanniey the CMO for Zinio said here that it would be a $25 credit.
Hopefully a lot of things update in the next few days.

Funny thing I sent them an email and tweet yesterday "Where's my zinio?" And I get an answer today. The app is pretty nice for right out the box. Hope to see improvements (updates) shortly. I'm pleased. Now give me some Tangle, ooVoo, or Skype, and Netflix and Hulu and the world will be complete.

Got it and bought a couple of subscriptions and I must say that it is better than what I expected. Thanks Zinio! Very smooth and fast downloads.

I have the app. This app alone might make a straong argument for why we need 10" Playbook with a Retina type display.

It would be nice if the hardcopy subscriptions of magazines that I have purchased (i.e. GQ, Maxim, Esquire, etc.) would be available on Zinio for free (since I already purchased the subscription)...

As it stands I think Zinio is still having issue on their end, even the website is crawling a little bit. I would give them a little time to iron out problems.
Nothing like releasing an app to the masses to squash out those last big bugs ;)

Hey RIM, you guys should start issuing magazines. Let people know what the RIMPIRE is all about. It would be great on Zinio.

Something is wrong with the app. Closes all the time :(

Well I got my email from zinio for my credit and it's only $5 and 2 subscriptions to some girly magazines, elle I think was was one of them. Regardless, ones I will never use. This has to be one of those "oh, your from Canada" slaps in the face. Considering RIM is a Canadian company I'm even more peeved. Anyways zinio is off my PB

sent from my olskool os5

i wish they would update the site and add available for blackberry playbook along with ifad android and so on. It would be nice to see what it looks like to see blackberry being a choice in a app download :)

To preface this, I'm a long time blackberry devotee and defender of the faith, bought my playbook at full price before it was officially available in the uk, have defended the continued use of BB / BES for our company despite increasingly fierce resistance etc. However, just learned that the RIMPIRE have chosen to censor content available to playbook users from Zino to under PG13! WTF are you thinking of? This is the kind of lame behaviour I detest about apple. We patiently wait through missed deadlines for much needed apps and you then you want to limit the content! Zinio already has adult controls which can be opted into or out of by choice in account settings. I don't need you to play that role, if I did I'd chose apple. Not good enough RIM - how far out of touch can you get? Think this might be goodbye.

I feel quite stupid after knowing I am not allowed by RIM to read Maxim on my playbook. It seems it is due it is an adult magazine. Am I not an adult?

I didn't receive $25. I got an email that said spend $10 and you will get $10 to spend later.

What's up?

I signed up for the $25 credit so I'm still awaiting that but...when they first announced that Zinio would become available for Playbook, I went to the Zinio web site to see what was available. My favmag, Living Etc. was available - 12 issues for about $31.44. Now that the app is actually available, the price for 12 issues has gone up to $50.39. So any $25 "credit" has become a wash.

I received $ 5 two days ago and today received the $ 25 credit. Hurray.
