ImagineFX App Reviews

I already get my print issues of IFX..but while I leave them at home, I always have my iPad with me..more time to read and learn..Thank you for this digital version on iTunes store..

While these Digital Editions arent super-enhanced like Wired Magazine, nor do they have hyper-linked table of contents (drives me NUTS), and lacking some essentials youd come to expect from even a decent eReader (word definitions, bookmarks, highlighting and annotations, etc), rendering this as a not-quite-as-good-as-a-PDF reader, its great to have these super popular magazines as a digital copy, AND they cost significantly less than their respective print editions. Like, 50% off! So, yay for price, and "meh" for value.

Recently was gifted a subscription (physical subscription) and I love it. Downloaded the app to check out older issues. Theyre great but are lacking the software disk that accompanies my physical issues. Would have given 5 stars if each magazine purchase came with the ability to acquire the accompanied disk.

ImagineFX is still my favourite magazine after many years of reading it.

Fantastic magazine!

A must have for any digital painter.

I am a freelance illustrator and absolutely love the the app and Mag. Highly recommend it all around. My one issue is I cannot back up the mag issues them selves.

Well worth the subscription cost, especially if youre not in the UK and cant afford a print subscription. Videos are accessible from both the articles they accompany and at the beginning, table of contents links work beautifully, and the content is extremely well thought-out. Excellent source of information considering there arent a lot of art magazines that specialize in sci-fi/fantasy art.

I made the mistake of assuming the producers of this app possessed integrity. I was, based on my experience, wrong. I have had issues go missing and any emails I have sent have NOT been responded to. I have been waiting over a year. When I do a purchase restore, which seems to be required a lot, I Never get back one of my missing issues. It is too late for me, save yourself. Avoid!

Previous: I cannot restore my purchase from previous iPhone. If this gets resolved I will update review. Update: Restore works and support was very helpful. May take some time for app to configure.

Excellent looking mag. First time reading it. Concise and to the point.

Collecting information about location when online and offline for a magazine? Really?

I know I dont have to tell how good, inspiring and useful this magazine is, but someone reads readers reviews to understand if he needs this stuff. So yeah, you need it. Youll enjoy it, this will help you a lot.

Please, make the function to "add to favorite"

Very nice for inspiration and incredible tutorial

Love reading Imagine Fx! Great Inspiration & Information. They got the dedication for imagination.

The bookmark feature doesnt work. It really need the ability to access the book marks in a list for each magazine and for all the magazines. The current bookmarks dont show up listed anywhere or in the magazine itself. Otherwise I love this app and IFX

I love IFXs magazines, but they are clearly not doing well as an app or app experience developer. The IFX app takes longer to download the magazine, but the killer is that each page loads up slowly. Each page comes up garbled and then clears up...as if they never tested their decompression rate. That couple second wait for each page will make you hate the e-zine experience. No, there is no cache...so when you go back a page..you have to wait again for that previous page to load up. The Zinio app works flawlessly for IFX publications, but youll find out IFX is keeping one-off titles like "Concept Art" on their app/store only.

Supposedly the 3 week old update broke something and they "know the fix" and will have "an update soon". But their auto responder still says theyre receiver "higher than usual support requests" from the issue. So far the only response has been the auto responder. So yeah... I wouldnt subscribe. Or buy issues, just to be on the safe side.

The issue with searching for this magazine in US is that local store only carried about 5 of them, if you take to long to get to the store.. it is sold out. Now with this digital format, that is a none issue - hopefully they will migrate their older catalog so I can turn my print copies to ecopies.
