Do you have an android phone?

Cadre Bible has the "Greek Septuagint (LXX)" for the princely sum of US$0.00

If I make the assumption that you want an English translation, there are two that I am aware of, neither being perfect.
1. The Orthodox Study Bible, from Thomas Nelson. This is a “work in progress”.
2. Lancelot Breton’s translation. This is fairly dated; it is available in a Greek English version, which would be better if you are also planning to study Greek.
Both are available from Amazon and other sellers.

Do you want the Greek translation or the Masoretic Text?

The Septuagint is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. So I'm assuming you can read Greek, otherwise it will be of no use to you.

My copy is Septuaginta, published by Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft.

Two of my friends have this version and it seems fine to me. The price isn't bad at this link to Amazon but I've seen it for five or six bucks less and would look around now that Bozo who owns Amazon has started giving money to the anti-Christ queer gang.

Look up the Apostolic Bible. You can get it online for free, I think, and get a hard copy for not too much money.

I purchased the following from amazon in 2010: Greek Septuagint.

It has Greek in a column on the binding side (2/3 of the printed page) in an Oxford font which I prefer, and an English translation by the author/editor on the remaing portion of the page. This is the best layout in my opinion, because interlinears tend intefere with reading the Greek text. It is a quality hardbound book I am glad to have in my library.

The tanslation has close correspondense in the passages that I have studied/translated.

I also purchased this analytical lexicon: Analytical Lexicon to the Septuagint. It could come in handy, if you have better things to do with your time than trying to discover the lexical entry for a form.

Other than the first 5 books the LXX is not reliable. Stick to the Hebrew Masoretic. LXX has all sorts of mistranslated words that change the meaning of the Original Hebrew.
