## What is Selvedge?

For crafters, couturiers or connoisseurs... Selvedge magazine is for everyone who loves textiles. Inspiring and informative, Selvedge is the only magazine to cover every facet of textiles – interiors, fashion, fine art, travel and shopping – in an intelligent, stylish and contemporary way. We cover textiles made with time, thought and skill in a magazine produced in exactly the same way. Published every other month, each issue offers quality writing, the world’s best textile photography and original illustration. 

The iOS edition brings you selected pages from the latest issue as soon as it is published. You can subscribe within the application for full access, which brings you every page of the issue and a complete searchable archive of more than 120 back issues. Issues are not sold individually - for the duration of your subscription you have access to every issue in this archive.

During your subscription you can sync back issues to your device. These will remain in place if your subscription expires, unless your device removes them (for example when running low on disk space). Re-downloading issues requires a current subscription.

• Swipe or tap the page edges to flip to next/previous page.
• Use the animated thumbnail view to flick through the pages.
• Pinch or double-tap pages to zoom.
• Switch between single or double-page view.
• Search the current issue or the archive.
• Tap any page links to web sites, email addresses, phone numbers or maps.
• Tap contents-page links to jump to a particular article.
• Sync issues to your device for offline reading (requires wi-fi).
• Network connection required otherwise.
                                                                      
We recommend first running the app within a wi-fi area so it can sync the latest issue to your device - after that you can use it anywhere. Subscribers will receive new issues automatically.

Subscriptions are available within the app at the following prices:

£14.99 per two months
£59.99 per year

In addition, please note the following standard features of auto-renewable subscriptions:

• Your payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions will renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Apple Account Settings after purchase.
• No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during active subscription period.

### 2/5 — Lost all previous purchases

*2020-04-29*

While I love the magazine the app needs work. It’s slow, the format isn’t particularly user friendly and once my subscription stopped I lost all access to my previous purchases. I didn’t appreciate that given this magazine is not particularly cheap. I think I’ll stick to the print editions instead.

### 5/5 — Absolutely love

*2016-12-20*

Selvedge is a high quality textile magazine. Beautiful photography, interesting articles and just what the doctor ordered for this needle worker! There are so few true art magazines for textile/craft/artists. It can be a world of cutesy overdose! This is a magazine to clear your palette and open your eyes to a gorgeous world of skill, artistry and education. Each issue covers a wide range of skills, everything from needlepoint to weaving to fashion design and everything in between. So happy I found this app!

### 2/5 — Selvedge

*2016-06-25*

It was a great app, but unfortunately once subscriptions stopped all the magazines I had previous have been cancelled because I did renew my subscription!!!!   Not sure if that is fair.

### 5/5 — Splendid

*2014-03-28*

How wonderful to have this beautiful publication available on the iPad.  I had a question about how to read issues offline, and received help from Exact Editions immediately.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2013-09-20*

Thank you very much. Totally inspiring and delicious.

### 1/5 — Beware!!

*2013-07-21, version 7.0*

Maybe I'm falling into a trap I should have known about!
I paid for a subscription - received the 2 magazine editions within the subscription period and thoroughly enjoyed them..... 
I stopped the subscription as 2 editions was going to keep me going for a good while HOWEVER they get wiped from the app and you no longer have access to them!

I wish I'd bought paper copies - money down the drain!!!
Is this what all magazine apps are like?!

Very very disappointed - if I've bought a magazine I expect to have access to it all the time!

Tried the restore existing but that only works if you have a current subscription :-(

### 2/5 — Beware of the auto-renewal

*2013-01-30*

The app loads very slowly so I hadn't looked at it for over 3 months. I just got charged A$65 for another year which I didn't want. Pls make sure you turn off the auto-renew as soon as you buy it. Goto AppStore/Featured/Scroll to the bottom and tap on Apple ID/View AppleID/Subscriptions Manage/Turn Off Auto Renewal. It should be defaulted to no auto-renewal.

### 1/5 — A great $12 magazine that you do not own.

*2012-09-23*

I have brought the print version of the magazine in the past and brought one digital copy through the newsstand.  I am sometimes slow, I did not grasp that you do not get to keep the copy until it was too late and my copy had disappeared. I would not mind spending the $12 if you got to keep it.

### 1/5 — Not Yours

*2012-05-27*

Selvedge is a terrific textile magazine, but the e-copies you get with this app are not your.  When a new issue is released, you no longer have access to previous issue, and if you unsubscribe you have no access even to the most recent issue that you paid for.  If this is how all iPad Newsstand subscriptions work, I won't be using Newsstand.

### 1/5 — Pointless!

*2012-01-01, version 5.1*

All you get is a few pages of ads and the content page, you need to fork out an unreasonable amount for any actual reading material.
