Not Accessible!
I had to delete the app because reading the magazine was hard due to small text and zooming in on each paragraph was not a good experience.
Thankfully, the Pocket Mags app came to the rescue and I’m now able to read this magazine from there with much greater comfort since it provides some accessibility settings.
The LF magazine itself is great. This review is just based off my experience with the dedicated app.

Too slow by modern standards.
App works, all subscriptions are there. Only bad thing is it takes far too long to load up the library upon login.
Outstanding visual presentation on iPad.
Excellent content, and it looks fantastic on my iPad. I’m enjoying the back issues too for not that much cost since I got them all.
Cannot download content
Since January I cannot download any issues and cannot login anymore, despite having reset my password. The magazine content itself is great but the mymagazine account and their support is not satisfying. I paid for the magazine but cannot read it:-(
Interesting
Being a newbie I find the content interesting full information things to learn about. I have Linux Mint 19.3 on several computers and on one I have Linux 20, my only wish was a simply upgrade feature a newbie could use as Windows 10 has.
Open Source Read only for 30 days
So a magazine promoting the benefits of open source software. Yet, it is a paid subscription. Moved on.
Mr. Gaiton Rasalam.
Dear Sir/Madam, Yesterday I downloaded the app “ Ubuntu Facile” into my mobile device. The condition said one month free on trial. On checking my Master Card a/c, I am surprised to find A$ 59.99 has been tacken. Please refund the amount, as, I have already deleted the app from my iPhone.
Regards,
Gaiton Rasalam.

Paid no magazine
Bought thru iTunes I wasn’t getting my issues but they were taking the money from my account every month. Customer support was slim to none when asking for help with the issue. When finally getting in contact with someone through email due to no number being available I was only refunded 1 month with issues I had paid for still asking me for payment before I could download. I reached out numerous times to only be ignored. Thanks Jellisa iTunes customer support. Would not purchase anything through iTunes in the future.

Great magazine but
A great magazine to read but the digital version for the phone is horrible. You can't adjust the pages in read mode which is very unpleasant.
Mag is good - app isn't
Enjoy the mag but the app fails if using iOS 6 on a iPhone 3G.
Also the 'extras' available from the mag with a subscription are not accessible for subscribers paid via iTunes. To be honest they should state that.

Very Helpful
I have just started using Linux and I have found these magazines really helpful and interesting.
Don't buy through apple!!!!!
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!!!!!!

A great resource for most anything Linux!
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.
Best Linux Magazine around!
There is no better Linux magazine on the market! Simply the best!
Linux Format and Mac Format BEST Mags!
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.

My favorite Linux magazine
This British mag is simply the best source for news, reviews, coding projects and information about all flavors of Linux!
Schnazzy
I really dig this app yo.. Got all my knowledge from hither. I dig it, I dig it, I DIGGGG IT BABY.
Good bur would be excellent with a few improvements
Reading is a pleasure on an iPad but not so good on an iPad mini and zooming the whole page is clumsy. Can't you reflow the text like The Times?
Also, why does it take so long to load even though I have already downloaded the edition?
