Leave a Review Linux Format
  • Very informative

    Just getting started with Linux but this mag is very helpful.
  • Do not subscribe or buy from them

    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.

  • Excellent magazine, app leaves a lot to be desired

    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

  • no bookmarking?

    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.

  • Awesome, but needs something...

    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!
  • Good

    Great magazine
  • Very good magazine!

    The magazine is great and the app works very well!
  • Love the articles

    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.
  • NOT FREE!!!!

    This is NOT FREE!!!! You will get NOTHING FREE by downloading this.
  • Excellent ePub app

    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.
