Edge magazine App Reviews

I very like your magazine and I somewhat like your app, but its not working on iOS 9 yet and I just want to warn you about it.

Hands down - best gaming magazine out there.

If I was allowed to actually preview this publication instead of being bombarded with SUBSCRIBE NOW messages, I might actually decide to purchase. Instead its an immediate close and delete.

Edge has got to be the most thorough and mature gaming magazine I have had the pleasure of reading. 5 out of 5 stars. If you have any interest in the world of video games, you need to read this.

Works as intended.

Best video game periodical around. App is beautiful and functional. Cant r commend highly enough.

Update: reading this Zinio-style version is so painful that Ive ended my subscription. I had hope that they would bring back the iPad enhanced version, maybe simplified and standardized a bit so that its easier to produce (and read). This magazine has great content and Im sad to see it squandered like this. Unfortunately, I dont think the managers can figure out how to bring it into the digital age. Update: The latest magazine seems to simply be Zinio jammed into the Edge app. Its very difficult to read—the content is all very small and its difficult to navigate. Update: deleted and reinstalled under iOS 8 and now it doesn’t seem to crash. This is a good magazine for iPad. It definitely could use some interface tweaks to make it easier to read — for example an opportunity to adjust the font sizes or fonts. I like Edge for its content and buying the paper magazine in the States costs a fortune; these days all my reading is on screens anyway. I wish they had a proper Newsstand version for iPhone as well because the Zinio version is silly. This app just defaults to the Zinio version on iPhone. There are some very simple content-centric layouts I’ve seen on iPhone magazines that would work great, but they went whole-hog on the funky iPad formatting which would make it difficult to shrink the app down. I am a bit concerned that the magazine will continue to be published as the web site has almost no updates any more. It seems like it’s either dying or refocusing on the paper/iPad formats, but there’s really no communication about what’s going on.

This digital magazine used to be best in class. Now its just a PDF scan. It hardly seems worth it.
