Pros and cons of Linux Format app for iPhone and iPad

Linux Format app good for

By far, the Linux Fornat & MacFornat are the best Magazines. THE UK always does it right! Best information, very easy to read and has the latest updates and news about Linux! I am wondering if they also make a BSDFormat magazine... Very good - I wish I could Find these magazines Ara store in Canada to purchase in person. So far, Excellent information. 5/5 Stars! Keep up the excellent work.

I usually prefer the paper editions, but this app is a good surrogate.

Some bad moments

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

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.

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 dont mind if the files are larger size just increase the screenshot quality. pretty please with a cheery on top.

Ive had a subscription to your printed Linux Format magazine and Ive bought it off the shelf at book stores. This digital copy is far less expensive than buying it off a booksellers 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.

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.

This is NOT FREE!!!! You will get NOTHING FREE by downloading this.
