ImagineFX App Reviews

ImagineFX is by far one of the best magazines and apps for the traditional and digital artist. Providing access to a stunning plethora of work, ImagineFX has put together a digital magazine that takes full advantage of the media. - D

Model: iPad 4 iOS: 8.1.1 App: up to date Cant open any library items with out the app crashing. Would send a crash report but you know Apple products

Great magazine and content, but the app either crashes randomly or when trying to open an issue.

A wealth of information in the most modern techniques in the digital art medium, by the most talented individuals working today.

I started off desiring this magazine when I saw it in a book store last year. The $16 asking price for a magazine was (and is) astronomical. But then last month I finally sunk the cash and bought a physical copy. I was impressed at all it had to offer. Then, today, I got my iPad, and I discovered that digital is the way to go! The magazine is loaded with extra features, such as art galleries, high resolution pages, and links to other sources. If you want an incredible magazine for a fraction of the price, go digital.

Great magazine when it works, awesome content. Lots of app crashes. Im on iOS 8.1.2 on iPad Air 2. Restarting app, restarting iPad, reinstalling app does not correct the issues. Please fix and I will review at 5 stars!

The iPad version of the magazine is fantastic, with links to video tutorials and extra pop up artist gallery images. However, for the past few months I cant seem to open an issue without constant crashing if it even opens at all. In addition some issues remain in a constant state of being "queued" for download, after weeks and weeks. Please fix this and Ill update to five stars.

I love this publication and in the past, this app has had no issues. However, for several months, I have been unable to use the app as it crashes as soon as I try to read an issue. I waited to see if this was updated but it has not been fixed. At this time, it needs to be addressed. Please update the app so I can actually view my content and purchase more.

I got the app, and I cant even find it on my home page! I cant even find it by searching for it, so I cant delete it!

Theres no app once you download it

On my iPhone 6 it was very buggy but on the plus its perfect!

I guess the app works fine for a subscription. Heaven help you if you want to buy a back issue. If you can get it to show in your library you will be prompted to buy it again when you want to download it. To fix the issue you have to delete the app and re-download all your other magazines again. But wait! Did you delete other back issues trying to get your latest one? Yes? Well, now the old ones prompt you to repurchase before downloading . This cycle goes on and on. What a waste of time and effort.

I bought a newer model iPad and can no longer view my previous purchases made on my last iPad without buying them again. It shows them in my library as purchased but requires me to pay again before downloading, what garbage. Id caution against purchasing from this app.

I love this magazine and I just bought all the back issues, the only problem I have is that it crashes a lot after this iOS update. Im running it on an iPad Air 64gb. Hope they fix the crashing soon.

The inside looks are basically worthless. They are basically the same: table of contents, editorial, studio shot and a parade of random artists. We never get a look at the pages that relate to the cover topic. Please show us relevant inside looks at the cover topic? Who knows? Sales on individual issues might increase?

Im looking everywhere in the app on signing up for a free trial. I clicked the button that says, "Free Subscription" and read the introduction. It says that I should click the button below to start yet there is no button. This is less than a review and more of a troubleshooting comment.

Really nice to have such easy access to the magazines you catch interest in all of a sudden. Talk about instant gratification.

Lets be clear. I love this magazine and until now the app has been passable though slow. Since this new update however, as soon as you open ImagineFX from the newsstand it freezes. Occasionally after a minute or two you can select one of your issues and it will open, but then it will immediately lock up again on the first page. It is now completely unusable. I have tried restarting both the app and the device. I am hesitating to try reinstalling fully because I have 5 gigs of back issues that I dont want to have to redownload at a snails pace. I am using a 3rd generation iPad.

Imagine fx has always been slow, but after iOS 9 update, just starting up the app takes around 20 seconds or more to load. And navigating the magazine also takes a while for some pages to render. Their help page blames on the specs and not enough ram on the iPad. But GQ magazine and National Geographics are way richer in content than Imagine fx and runs smooth as butter on the same iPad. I would say, skip the digital version until Imagine fx get their acts together and hire more competent developers to recode the magazine. Good content but horrible digital execution.

This has really helped to improve my digital and non-digital art skills.
