AXISは社会のあらゆる事象をデザインの視点からとらえていく、1981年創刊のデザイン誌です。さまざまな課題を抱える現代社会において、デザインの重要性が増している今、デザイナーには分野を超えた、多様な視点と知識が求められています。AXISは、今とこれからのクリエイティブな人々に向けて、国内外のデザインに関する最新情報を豊富なビジュアルとともに紹介していきます。また、日英併記であることも特徴の1つ。これからはデザイナーにも世界に通じるコミュニケーション力が必要とされる時代。デザインの背景からコンセプトまでを、いかに英語で伝えていくか、AXISの英語表現を通して、生きた英語力を身につけてください。 ※電子版では、紙の雑誌と内容が一部異なる場合や、掲載されないページがある場合があります。 本アプリケーションはNewsstandに対応しています。 アプリは無料でダウロードできますが、コンテンツの購入は有料です。 コンテンツのダウンロードは、WiFi環境での接続を推奨いたします。 ■新刊の自動ダウンロード機能について iOSの設定の「通知」と「Appのバックグラウンド更新」をオンに設定すると、ライセンス期間中に新しいコンテンツが発行された際に自動的に端末(本棚)にダウンロードされます。 ■定期購読の自動更新と課金について 購読は「自動継続更新」となります。購読期間が終了する24時間以内に、購読が自動更新され、お客様のApple IDに課金されます。 ■定期購読の設定の確認と自動更新の停止について ライセンス期間終了の24時間以上前に、お客様のアカウント設定画面から、自動更新をオフにしていただくことで、ライセンスの自動更新を停止することができます。 自動更新の設定は、「設定」>「Apple IDタップ」>「サブスクリプション」から行うことができます。 ■定期購読のキャンセルについて 定期購読期間中は、期間の変更やキャンセルをすることができません。 ■プライバシーポリシー及び利用規約 http://www.magastore.jp/inapp/newsstand/privacypolicy/axis.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Fabula at every 5 weeks against AXIS's every 41 months. AXIS's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
