  • Best magazine ever

    The only physical magazine I still buy: NME long dead, Uncut and Select gone or going, Private Eye too depressing. Occasionally get a copy of Empire but not regularly.

    I have bought this since the mid 90s. The cover with Rise of the Robots is burned in my brain. I remember when it was preposterously sized, each page as big as a bedsheet.

    It is a constant in my life and when it dies I will raise a single hand to this godless universe, extend my middle finger and throw myself violently into a rose bush. Then I’ll get on with my day, but the point will have been made.

  • Please fix

    Please fix this app - I continue to subscribe because I love the magazine but the app is barely useable for longer than a few minutes at a time before it crashes.

    Hi there, Thanks for leaving a rating and sorry to hear you're experiencing some issues. If you drop an email to apps@futurenet.com our team should be able to assist and hopefully get the app working perfectly for you, and your back issues back in your library. All the best
  • Great App

    Great app which lets me read all the Edge content easily on my iPad or iPhone.

    Thanks for your review! We're glad you're enjoying the app.
  • Same problem every time a new issue is out

    I took out a full yearly subscription, but every month I have to delete and reinstall in order to be able to download the latest issue. Otherwise it will quite happily take £4.99 from me again without the option to download the latest issue. Do yourself a favour and buy the print version instead with none of this hassle

  • Constantly having problems with having to buy new issues with active subscription

    Have an active subscription, checked it’s valid for several more months, sometimes I go into get the new issue this month and it hasn’t added to my catalogue and the only option is to buy it for £4.99. No idea why because it used to work fine and has happened several months now but had issues that are claimable in between. Sick of missing out on issues because of this problem

  • Pure unmitigated garbage

    Good magazine, but the future publishing app platform is absolutely abysmal and barely functional. Half the time it just flat out won’t work, meaning when you get to read the magazine you’ve paid for is at the whim of whether the app feels like working on that particular day.
  • Free trial isn’t working

    Free trial doesn’t work. You’re supposed to get the latest subscriptions with the trial, however, it still prompts you to buy every issue. Future needs to fix this.
  • Disappointing

    Regular crashes. Too many adds asking if I want to purchase all of the back catalogue. A real shame that such a great publication is so let down with this app.
  • Poorly designed App, good content.

    Edge is a good publication with thoughtful, articulate writing. However, after two years of subscribing to the App and dealing with numerous issues trying to keep the downloaded issues on my phone, I decided to warn others considering subscribing about my experiences with the digital publication.

    I am using an Iphone 11 Pro Max with software version 14.7.1. The App will often lose all of my downloaded issues forcing me to redownload the issues, which may or may not work. it has been so problematic the last few months I dread using it on my phone. The App works more consistently on my iPad, but still has occasional problems (i.e. needing to "restore Apple Purchase" so it knows you subscribed, having to re-download issues, waiting many minutes for a single issue to download, the App itself freezing during processing dowloads and more).

    The Edge App is exactly like a game that has good ideas and art, but is (very) poorly executed.

  • Constant nagging

    I wanted to read just the latest issue of Edge, for which I happily paid. But every time I go back to the app it nags me: do a survey, try a trial, etc. Next time paper or, more likely, nothing.
