## What is Cross Country Magazine?

Cross Country magazine is one of the world's leading voices in paragliding and hang gliding – essential reading for any pilot who wants to fly longer, further, higher and more safely. Every two months we feature the best photography, writing, travel and free-flight adventure from around the world. Inside the magazine you'll find contributions on how to thermal and how to fly better from World Champions, Red Bull X-Alps athletes, Alpine flying guides, Flatlands gurus and a host of others who are at the forefront of the sport. The App recreates the magazine especially for the iPad, allowing you to read the full content without waiting for the postman. Cross Country’s soul is in the adventure and freedom of flying. As pilots, it’s a passion we share. Whether it’s intoxicating tales from Brazil or the Himalayas, first-hand accounts of record-breaking flights or simple stories of unexpected moments in this extraordinary sport, Cross Country aims to convey that feeling of being up there, in the moment, doing what we adore. Cross Country’s reviews meanwhile aim to get under the skin of the newest gliders to help you make a more informed choice. We also review harnesses, instruments and other essential new gear. Finally our news coverage and insightful comment on the latest happenings in the free flying world keep you up to date with this fast-moving sport.

The magazine is amazing. But why it has different prices between the details and inside the App?

### 1/5 — Xc

*2015-03-17, version 2.0*

The app doesn't reflect the issues I've subscribed to despite having logged in. Those issues are shown in Vimeo
