    It's a bit unheard of, but, yes, we limit the advertising in each issue of the Fretboard Journal. This way, a lucky few advertisers get to stand out in each keepsake issue and, in return, our magazine remains clutter-free. Our advertisers represent a diverse array of companies, from instrument builders, to boutique amp makers, to dealers. Famous manufacturers such as Collings, Saga and C.F. Martin Guitars have supported us since our very first issue (thanks, guys!), as have dealers such as Gryphon Stringed Instruments. For the last several issues, there has been a wait list for new advertisers to get in. If you would like more information about advertising with us or want to get on the wait list, simply drop us a line. Due to the high quality of our printing, some of our production requirements can be a little different from other publications. We also have a slightly longer lead time than many titles.

More Craziness from Fretboard Journal

I love FBJ, but honestly they make t hard to read and be a loyal reader. So ... the latest problems with the last issue (who knows what century the next issue will drop). Trying to read, the app warns that it may not render correctly and I need to get the new version of the app -- by emailing them? Since when do you install a new version f an app via email? Especially publications, when the apps themselves are free downloads and you pay for the actual publication? Maybe they got so many complaints Apple's not talking to them anymore? Like some subscribers I know who go a year without a new issue? Maybe, you think?

Just plain bad

This is worthless for subscribers. Even though I am one, the app gives me no option to view purchased copies - it requires an additional purchase for any issue I've already received. Absolutely ridiculous for an already expensive subscription. Dammit. Going to have to reconsider next time around.

I wish...

I've been subscribing to the print edition of the FJ since issue #4. I wish they would come up with a way for subscribers like me who'd love to ALSO enjoy the ipad version without paying twice (sort of). Hoping it will happen in 2015! 5🌟 because they create the best guitar magazine. :)

Where Are the FJ issues?

Library came with one issue, #15, but 0 issues show in the store and it's not even offering subscription. Needs some work is an understatement.

I concur with other long term subscribers

I love the magazine and have supported and own every issue since #1. The online version should be free to subscribers. Charge me more for an annual subscription to cover hard copy plus access to electronic but do not make me pay twice for the same IP.

Custom design! Hooray!

LOVE that FJ put the effort in to custom design for the ipad. i have no problem paying for additional work. All you one-star haters don't understand. This isn't a PDF page flipper. It's an app! Not a magazine. Kudos, FJ!
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.

This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
