Thanks for getting in touch and giving us your views on a digital edition – let me start by saying that you’re not the first to request this, and we’ll be passing on your comments to those in charge who are able to make this happen for their consideration. As a team of four who write, design and produce iCreate every month, it’s in our interest as much as yours, that you felt compelled to pay for your copy of iCreate (be it through a digital subscription or otherwise) as that’s what allows us to carry on creating the magazine, so we’ll be pushing as much as we can for a digital edition to be produced

Although a print subscription isn’t cheap, we still think it’s good value. Currently $130 for 13 issues translates to around £6 per issue, which is our UK cover price and cheaper than physical newsstand price in the US. That said, we understand that for some this is still a lot of money, so we’d urge you to keep your eye out for any special offers that do tend to crop up from time to time.

The reason that iCreate is available in Italian and Spanish but not in English is due to the fact that iCreate, as a magazine, is licensed out internationally to various overseas publishers, who may or may not choose to make the magazine available on a digital platform.

I hope this clears up the situation with regards to a digital edition. We know our Newsstand edition on iOS devices has been extremely successful, and we hope to reach more readers via a digital edition in the future.

Many thanks,

Freddie Harrison

What I find ironic is that iCreate, a British publication, is available on Zinio in Spanish and Italian language versions only… shouldn’t there be an English language version as well?

I will continue to change over to digital editions as the paper subscriptions expire as there is not currently a way to transfer subscriptions with most. I have received a lot of good information from iCreate by simply visiting the book/magazine dealer siting down in an overstuffed chair, usually with a cup of coffee, and reading the issues on hand. However I would much prefer to have my own digital copy available on my own computer.

iCreate is missing a huge market segment here by ignoring the potential subscribers. I’d subscribe if there were a digital edition available at a reasonable price… until such time I will continue to read for free, but at an inconvenience.

Thank you so much for the compliments about the magazine! It’s great to hear you’re enjoying it as we work so hard on it each month

As for your question about Lion – first of all, did you buy Lion through the Mac App Store? If so, all you need to do is log into your App Store account on the computer you want to install Lion on, then go to the ‘Purchased’ tab in the Mac App Store. Lion should be included in the list of apps you’ve purchased, and you can download it again by clicking the button next to it. Lion should install and you should be good to go! Let us know how it goes, and if you have any other problems feel free to ask!

As for the price question, we can only apologise! Sadly, getting the UK edition of the magazine from here in the UK over to the US and Canada is very expensive, and we have to make sure our costs are covered! Sadly there isn’t much we can do about the cost of magazines in other countries as if we charged any less the magazine would go out of business! I hope the price doesn’t put you off too much, and that you continue to buy the magazine, but if you enjoy the French version too then that’s great!

Thanks for your comment,

Stephen

After I made a quick look of iCreate at the store, I saw a particular interesting article in the Genious Bar section about “Install Lion elswhere” (Page 82 Issue 98)

Question:
Did we need a Lion’s serial number to used that copy to install on my other computer? or on someone else computer?

Note: The iCreate Magazine I bought is the UK edition.
But the price on the shelf: WOW! Ouf!
6 S Pounds = Canadian$9.53
On the shelf store: *C$19.95 WOW! or 11.96S Pound
* Plus 15% taxes

With that HUGE price, you might not a big seller of iCreate in Canada!
I will think twice before buying your iCreate UK edition again.
Once a while I also buy the French edition.

Brooklyn is more than your typical 13-year-old. She takes dance lessons, plays tennis and argues with her twin brother like many other girls her age, but on the side, she’s an entrepreneur. And with her family’s help, she designed Giggle Bear™ for the iPhone mobile digital device. The game, available today on iTunes, is the brainchild of Brooklyn. http://www.gigglebear.com
