Edge magazine App Reviews

I cannot read the magazine on my iPad. The magazine is downloaded but I cannot open it. I tried the actions recommended in the support section without success. I sent an email to Future. No answer. I have the same problem with other Future magazines. Obviously there is something wrong the way they publish their magazines digitally.

Recent download made the edge app unusable. It wont download my latest issue, despite trying all recommended trouble shooting steps. Received an automated email from customer service. Very poor. I wont renew my subscription at this rate. Please fix this poste haste Future publishing!

Great mag. Been reading digital version on iPhone for over a year now and its my favorite game mag. Informative with great coverage.

I like some of the stories, but they are clearly subjective and they lean to Sony , I own both MS and Sony and the MS bashing is getting old. The app works ok, some minor freezes when turning the pages and I often have to delete and re-download the app to get it to work again. But, make no mistake, its a great looking e- magazine when it work properly.

I came across my first issue of Edge at my local Barnes & Noble--absolutely transcendental. I had no idea there was this kind of literary quality on interactive entertainment. I transitioned to the iPad subscription and havent looked back, very polished and responsive. Many a commuter have asked what magazine Im reading.

Quality magazine that I like a lot. Content is really great & I love the layout… The only gripe I have is that you cannot adjust the size of the text so I always have to pull out my glasses to read the latest issue. Its worth it though. Great content and good price.

Edge remains as relevant, frank and mature as ever, never cow-towing to the dishonest journalism tactics that so plague our industry, and never assuming the reader is anything but intelligent and sincere (even when were not haha). Edge is the only industry periodical I read with any regularity, FWIW (and its so much better now that weve evolved beyond the need to kill so any trees for each issue!)

Sorry guys, I really felt like Id wasted my money doing the e-subscription. A pain to download issues, ridiculous memory eating (admittedly you are a very graphic mag), and crappy stuck-ness that I had no idea how to get out of.

Just subscribed loved last issue. Great to have truly adult writing on gaming.

Edge is a great mag with amazing writing, and the digital edition takes grist advantage of the features of the iPad. Buy it today!

I contacted the guys who developed Blek with a question. I never thought I would get a response, but I did. In the response, there was a link to an article from Edge, that further answered my question. What is the point of that long story? Well, it was really well-written and interesting. Deep and sincere. Not what I expected from techie magazine. Im a new fan. The next thing I saw was about Red Dead Redemption! I was sold for life! :)

From a superficial design point of view, everything looks really impressive and there is a definite "wow" effect the first time you see all the animations etc. But when you actually want to read the content, it becomes clear that the devs chose style over usability. Some of the main things that annoy me: 1) No landscape mode possible 2) No zooming possible 3) Its really inconvenient having to scroll text in a tiny box because some pictures at the bottom of the screen are static. Looks cool, but as the app in general its not very reader-friendly.

Edge may be a great magazine but youll never know as the app crashes as soon as you try to read an issue. I am on an iPad Air with all other applications closed, so this should not be happening. Subscribe at your own risk.

4 star magazine and a 1 star app. I like the content, but the app crashes too frequently. This is not just with IOS 8, it was crashing frequently on IOS 7 as well. Ive been suffering through this because I do like the magazine, but after 2 years and what seems like very little effort from the developers to resolve these stability issues, Im leaning towards not renewing my subscription as its just too frustrating. Im writing this review as I am waiting for the app to reinstall because my library was gone and the app kept crashing so all I could do was delete it from Newstand and try reloading it (not even sure this will work).

I love the format of the digital edition and Edge is, to me, the best video game mag around. As an app...sometimes I have to delete it and re download and install the editions. Its kinda annoying but not so much that i quit using it.

The magazine content is wonderful, especially on iTunes, but a buggy app ruins the experience. Common problems are being unable to download new issues without deleting the app and reinstalling as well as being unable to open the magazine without being kicked back to the home screen. Its a fantastic magazine, but the app makes it impossible to read!

If you are serious into games dont miss it. If you are developing them, its a must.

If you like seeing this notification every couple of days, youll love this app: "Get our latest issue completely FREE when you start a 30-day trial! Tap Free Trial in our app and download the issue now."

Edge is Edge, its a great magazine with very good writing. What is bad is the app. The app does not entice you to buy the magazine, because you cant even read the table of contents. When will a better app come along?

Edge is by far the best printed computer and video game magazine. Its reviews and features are mature, intelligent, and thoughtful. This app, though, is horrible. Its a pain to download issues. They will get to 100% and hang. I have had to delete and reinstall multiple times. The animations slow down the reading experience once it does actually install. When my sub expires, I will be switching to a different format.
