This would have been a 5 star review However If you buy your subscription through iTunes for full price you can only read your issues on Apple branded hardware If you create an account on their website and buy that way you can then sign in and read on anything Support won t even be sympathetic let alone fix the issue I don t think I need to point out the irony in a magazine about Linux that doesn t work on Linux Second despite the fact that I have an active subscription and all of the back issues the app keeps bombarding me with offers to buy the back issues I already own As I mentioned this is a 5 star app but since neither the publisher nor Apple will fess up to how badly you re getting screwed by buying this way I thought I d try to save at least one other person from this debacle tl dr DO NOT BUY MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS THROUGH APPLE IF YOU OWN ANY NON APPLE DEVICES     Don t buy through apple jbob4242

I used to run to my local brick mortar bookstore to get these magazines as soon as the new issue was available Then I found this wonderful app Now for much less I get the current issue and don t have to do anything besides open the app                     A great resource for most anything Linux Linux User 32

There is no better Linux magazine on the market Simply the best                     Best Linux Magazine around KindredX

This British mag is simply the best source for news reviews coding projects and information about all flavors of Linux                     My favorite Linux magazine kiloecho

I really dig this app yo Got all my knowledge from hither I dig it I dig it I DIGGGG IT BABY                     Schnazzy Darsofer

No option to save articles to evernote ok i read a good article about how to solve something but now i want to save it for later use no option             Its ok but Shaulch

Just getting started with Linux but this mag is very helpful                     Very informative BarelyTreatable

Future Plc makes terrible magazine app It is almost impossible to get a subscription from them that will work on more than one device iPhone and iPad They seem to make you purchase the magazines more than once if you want to read it on your iPhone and iPad You are better off subscribing to their pdf format at least with that you can read on a PC and multiple devices     Do not subscribe or buy from them TexasShopper

This app feels more like a purpose built PDF viewer more than a magazine app It leaves a lot to be desired Bookmarking would be awesome trying to download back issues or restoring subscriptions can be painful The content of the magazine is excellent and I love reading Linux Format Would like a more interactive experience maybe a font enlarging feature other than just page zooming but I understand that may be a lot of extra work that a small magazine team wouldn t have the appropriate resources to do that My star rating is strictly rating the app and not the magazine content Content gets 5 stars hands down Thank you for a great magazine             Excellent magazine app leaves a lot to be desired cllcomputers

i have downloaded some of the back issues for IPAD as i ve enjoyed reading this magazine at the store but it s too expensive to purchase in North America at the bookstore However the app isn t user friendly as there is no way to bookmark or favorite an article or page on the app Also when you go back into the app after leaving or turning off your ipad you open up at page one of the magazine again so have to scroll through the magazine again to find where you ve left off This is again where the favorites bookmarking feature would really help Other magazines on IPAD have this feature but this one doesn t which is surprising It keeps an otherwise great magazine from being truly enjoyable             no bookmarking pab1000

I am a loyal subscriber to LXF and I have loved every issue I use an iPad more often than I have the opportunity to carry my bookbag around so it would be GREAT if subscribers like me had a free digital subscription Other than that the best mag I am subscribed to                     Awesome but needs something NickProGaming

Great magazine                 Good neural_bites

The magazine is great and the app works very well                     Very good magazine firesage2000

I love the bits of humor sprinkled in the articles I only wish I could save issues as PDF s for my personal archive I could have access to them if I had a print version of LFX but I don t want a print version Minus 1 star for no way to archive issues in a future proof format                 Love the articles toxshox

This is NOT FREE You will get NOTHING FREE by downloading this     NOT FREE Dpiddy17ca

Linux Journal has done a fantastic job with their ePub implementation and I love and use just about all the available formats including the iOS app It rocks on the iPad and is very convenient on the iPhone for reading anywhere I am                     Excellent ePub app niedobry

I ve had a subscription to your printed Linux Format magazine and I ve bought it off the shelf at book stores This digital copy is far less expensive than buying it off a bookseller s shelf usually around 15 USD and as a print subscription 125 USD for 13 issues which I appreciate However the actual iPhone iPad app leaves a lot to be desired The UI is terrible There is no integration with Safari to easily navigate to a web link The advertisement space is annoying in the mobile environment and takes up way too much real estate The image resolution is questionable at best Finally had I known there would not be any way to get the disks included with the printed edition and that I would not have access to the web site as I do with a print subscription I never would have subscribed to it via the App Store I can tell you this much I will not renew until these options are made available Nice to see the disclaimers have now been added to the app in the app store but not before I had already signed up for 6 months     Terrible attempt at a mobile app The Bamajr

I love this magazine and wanted to subscribe via my iPad But the low resolution on screenshots is a deal breaker for me The text and layout is great but if I zoom in to take a look at a screenshot then it is a blurry mess that is unreadable Considering this magazine is full of screenshots of applications and terminal commands this is kind of important If you include full resolution screenshots then you will have an instant yearly subscription purchase from me I seriously don t mind if the files are larger size just increase the screenshot quality pretty please with a cheery on top             Ok but need high res pictures spookware

I have never had the app crash I also love the content                     Great SyFy geek

I would love to subscribe to this if only I could read more than two pages without crashing I might even be satisfied if I could consistently read one page without crashing as soon as I attempt to flip to it via the index at the bottom of the screen     Crash and burn Yondering

Will change to 5 star as soon as it stops crashing         Crashes a lot kevinluong

I hope to see an update soon The app has crashed repeatedly while I have been trying to read the issue     Crashing constantly Doubleohcletis
