### 4/5 — One of the best

*2016-01-31, version 4.2*

Great magazine. Showing different styles. Love the floor plan sketches. Would like to see more enhanced content - we're reading it on tablets

### 4/5 — No new issue on IPad

*2015-11-24, version 4.2*

Living Etc is my favorite magazine, but sadly the app on my IPad doesn't seem work properly anymore. It still doesn't display the December 15 issue, despite being available when I check the same app on my iPhone. Obviously I'd prefer reading it on my iPad. Please fix this. It's driving me crazy!!!

### 4/5 — One of my fav design mags

*2014-06-02, version 4.0*

Beautiful quality of a top modern and playful British home design mag.

### 4/5 — Great way to get a British magazine

*2013-08-08, version 3.6*

I have been wanting a subscription to this magazine for almost two years, and now I can get it on my iPad. This is the first magazine I have subscribed to from the newsstand and I am really happy with it. The perfect way to get the content I wanted.

### 5/5 — Destiny about apps

*2013-03-16, version 3.3*

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Living etc

*2013-01-03, version 3.1*

Cool, crisp graphics. Almost a better experience than the actual hard copy magazine ... Which I love!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2012-12-27, version 3.1*

Great usability, excellent alternative to print. I've been a subscriber for almost seven years, and so excited to now have it on iPad.

### 3/5 — Too pricey!

*2012-12-23, version 3.1*

Not competitively priced.

### 4/5 — Faster Downloads

*2012-12-07, version 3.1*

It even continues to download if you navigate to another app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-05-29, version 7.1.14*

I have a subscription and can’t open my June issue. I have tried repeatedly to get support and have gotten nowhere. Not happy

### 1/5 — Now even worse

*2018-09-06, version 7.0.0*

The latest version of the application is now even worse You now get a even larger white bar at the top of the screen. This means a single page no longer fills the screen, you get a page and bit width ways. Very annoying. You can no longer set the home page to your library. Rather than touching an issue to load it you now have a lot of additional unnecessary buttons. The original application was much better, if it isn't broken, don't fix it.

### 1/5 — Living etc

*2015-02-18, version 4.2*

All of my purchased issues stop displaying content once you reach the "rate this app" page, I'm only allowed to view 3/4 of the magazine.  I entered a support ticket to no avail.

### 1/5 — Won't show full issues

*2014-08-20, version 4.0*

I'm a subscriber. This title works fine on my phone, but won't give my full issues on the iPad app. Only shows preview issues. Have reinstalled, restarted, signed into iTunes a hundred times-nothing Works. Customer service on their end is no help. Annoying.

### 2/5 — Great mag. Ok app

*2014-12-15, version 4.2*

App is unreliable and causes issues w iPad. Magazine is fabulous.

### 2/5 — One of my favourite magazines

*2014-11-03, version 4.2*

Love the feature stories and trends.

### 2/5 — Agony waiting for download!

*2013-03-01, version 3.3*

I like the app - nicely formatted for iPad, but I'm not able to view the issue until the last day of the month.  I feel like if I'm paying for a subscription, it should be generally available when the newsstand version is available.

### 3/5 — Livingetc

*2015-01-30, version 4.2*

Having trouble with the app

### 3/5 — Dr

*2014-08-10, version 4.0*

Ok app.  Good mag

### 3/5 — Not techno savvy

*2013-05-11, version 3.4*

I love Living Etc... I mean love the magazine, i have bought it religiously for the last 7 years, month after month.

I do not the app. I do not like it. I don't even know why it exists in terms of offering.

This app is just the magazine. Why not give a PDF file?
There is no use of interactivity: instead of listing product info in same page (tap button) or scrolling of the text, or 'scratching' a page to see the before or after, you see page for page the magazine itself. There is no link from the table of content to each article, no extra photo material to push people to get more digital subscription, etc...

This is such a disappointment!  Such a cool magazine stuck in the 20th century format in a 21st century media... Look at the Canadian House & Home. Even the adds are interactive!

### 5/5 — Best deco magazine

*2016-07-20, version 4.2*

This is the best deco magazine I have ever seen!

### 5/5 — Works perfectly now on my IPAD!!!!!

*2016-06-27, version 4.2*

The interface works great. Love being able to share the photos.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2015-12-23, version 4.2*

I look forward to each issue. There is always a flash of color to remember and be inspired

### 5/5 — Please Fix this app

*2015-11-26, version 4.2*

I have an up to date subscription and I am not able to download The December issue!

### 5/5 — Nice App

*2015-11-24, version 4.2*

Love this publication and, for the most part, the app. That said, there is an ongoing problem with not being able to download the latest issue. My subscription is current, have tried deleting and re-installing the app, to no avail. Please get this fixed!

### 5/5 — Magazines not available in the United States anymore!!!

*2015-11-14, version 4.2*

I absolutely love this magazine! Three years ago when Boarders Books was still in business, I would get my copies there. Once they closed down I had no other way besides getting my copy flown to me :( but to be able to have a digital copy relieves me! Always been a fan!

### 5/5 — I love this magazine

*2015-10-13, version 4.2*

Finally we have a design magazine I can relate. If you're  truly an artist you can see the vision of the articles and the art of the furniture.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2014-08-27, version 3.8*

The production values are gorgeous-so classy and seamless throughout. The color photography is so sharp. There actually are some smaller items I could afford but I can look and dream. It is full of eye candy for those that love decorating. Sorry for my gushing.

### 5/5 — Living etc

*2013-09-09, version 3.6*

Love this magazine, great photos and ideas

### 5/5 — Living Etc.

*2013-08-27, version 3.6*

My favorite interior design magazine.  The Europeans know how to design and decorate !
