## What is Permaculture Magazine?

Permaculture is a solutions-based, inspiring response to the challenges of life in an era of great change.

Permaculture gives us the tools needed to create productive and sustaining gardens, farms and communities. It provides for the needs of people whilst also integrating the needs of wild species. This is a vision of both permanent agriculture and culture.

“In these critical times permaculture solutions are some of the best tools we have for creating a viable and thriving future.”
Daryl Hannah, film actress and activist

Established in 1992, Permaculture magazine is a bestselling international quarterly sharing practical, innovative solutions and global perspectives from a grassroots movement in 100 countries.

Subscribing to Permaculture magazine gives you FREE digital access to all our back issues – that’s over two decades of practical, tried and tested information, best practice case studies, projects, and new ideas.

Typical content includes:

• renewable, relocalised technologies

### 5/5 — Wonderful and informative!

*2021-11-04*

Great app and amazing magazine! More than worth its price!

### 5/5 — Less politics more practical

*2021-07-21*

Little too political and hippy dippy for my taste but the practical side and the inspirational personal stories I love.

### 1/5 — Too much politics in my food

*2020-09-25*

I love Permaculture and learning more about it, but there’s too much lefty socialist preaching to be tolerated.

### 2/5 — Unable to download content

*2020-04-17*

Great content. Invaluable. 

But I can’t figure out how to download the issues to my phone. It appears I need WiFi every time i open the app to re sync the issues before I can view them. 

Is there a download option I’m not seeing?

### 5/5 — Nicely presented digital version

*2018-10-28*

I subscribe to three paper magazines which have Exact Editions digital versions. The Permaculture mag is one of them. Really handy when travelling or when you want to refer to the archive. The EE team have been very responsive when I’ve had any issues. On the whole works seamlessly.

### 5/5 — Superb App

*2018-04-18*

I have just subscribed for the annual service after discovering it was possible to do via the App Store as opposed to their website. I very nearly subscribed via the site but as I will be reading the magazines on my iPad it seems much better to have the app and subscription all managed in the place I will. E consuming the content too. 

From what I have seen so far this is exceptional value for money with vast amounts of content. I have skipped through a few editions and even went right back to the 1st edition which already has me addicted. I will be going to read that entire magazine after this review. For the sheer amount of information,  are of course plenty of places to improve the UI and transition of pages for a more intuitive and natural feel.

### 2/5 — Need too much data to work

*2017-02-02*

Each edition seems to be 150-200MB. 
It is definitely consuming a lot of space on your phone and a lot of data (some of us don't have unlimited internet). 
When you synchronise offline an edition it sometimes need to resynchronise (and consume again data) for whatever reason. 
I love PM, but this app definitely need improvement

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2016-08-19*

I use this to read the Permaculture Magazine. The menu is handy, everything works well and reliably. Particularly good is the hyperlink function in the mag itself!

### 1/5 — Wrong prices shown

*2016-07-03*

Downloaded but haven't paid yet. Why ? Because the ad says 2.99 quarterly and 9.99 annually but when downloaded it's 3.99 and 14.99. Not nice.

### 5/5 — Love this Magazine and App!

*2016-04-17*

I love the content of this magazine. It is full of superb permaculture ideas and inspiration. I was concerned It would be only about the UK but instead find articles about projects around the world and in numerous climates and zones. 

The reader is easy to navigate and you can download issues for reading offline which is a huge plus. The articles are well written with good photographs. This was everything I was looking for In a permaculture magazine.
