Just a quick question. If you get the app, do you get all issues released so far or only the ones released after you downloaded it?

The app is free.

After you have installed it, each issue is a separate download within the app.

You get access to all of them.

Annoying that I have to download the older ones again. And it crashed. sigh. I just gave up.

Please, oh please let us give you money so that you can hire people to write useful articles and nice little adventures.

The trouble with free is that we are getting what we pay for.

agreed, which is why I'm a patreon for the AngryGM. Excellent content at a bargain price and no !

Does anyone know how to get the adventure outside of the app? You can "download" it but then you're stuck reading it inside the app. There's no "open in iBooks" option, or print. So how do you use it?

IMHO the best issue to date. Both the travel talk and the flumph short fiction were a joy the read (and the flumph story is a must read for anyone liking psionics in D&D).

The Belaphoss article could have contained a little more non-mechanical stuff, but overall it was pretty good too

It opened as a PDF for me and then I just saved it from there.

And as far as the issue, I found it much stronger than the previous issues. Between the ecology article, the demonomicon article, the short stories and the adventure, it felt much meatier. I think it is heading in the right direction.

Hmm, it did not give me the option to save from the app.

Same for me. How does one access this mythical save option?

For everyone wanting to read this on something other than your handheld, this is what you do: Open whichever article you want to read, then tap the screen so all the extra navigation stuff comes up. At the top right of the screen should be a share button that kind of looks like a greater-than symbol (on Android anyway, sorry I don't have any i-products). Tap the share button, then choose whatever method you prefer to get it to a computer. I just email the link to myself, then open it on my desktop PC. Then you can extract pics and maps (they're often large! ) and save files like PDFs directly to the computer.
