  • Best gaming magazine!

    I've been getting Edge for a few years now - and with Newsstand I can get the latest issues as soon as they are released. This is definitely the best source for informed writing on gaming - and it looks great on iPhone (seriously considering getting an iPad for this magazine alone).
  • Barely better than reading a PDF

    This app has none of the interactivity and user friendliness as other newsstand mags such as the new Yorker or wired. It needs to accommodate both landscape and portrait modes intuitively. Why do I need to keep scrolling and zooming just to read a page. What edge did was to only transfer their printed mag into an electronic format, and therefore made the transition without little thought as to user interface. Too bad egmi is not available on the iOS newsstand yet. Now that is how it should be done.

  • Poor

    This may be a great magazine in print, but the transition to iPad has not been done well. This is basically a series of jpeg's of the magazine with little thought given to us poor souls having to read it.
  • Good magazine, awful all

    Most annoying bug - issue marked as unread though I've read long time ago. Decoration of app is not so fabulous too.
    About the magazine - font size is too small for reading on tablet, I always have to zoom in, it's annoying.
    But everything else is cool.
  • Excellent Mag for Adults.

    The first thing I noticed about Edge Magazine when I started reading it in 1995 was the quantum leap in quality over other mags. Interviews were intelligent and frank, reviews were helpful even if you disagreed with the score, and the business aspects of gaming were as front and center as the games themselves.
    Edge, particularly in the states, is a must-buy for the iPad, especially considering how much it costs to subscribe to the airmailed British hard copy. My only reservation would be to suggest the Zinio version over this one. The format is identical, plus a nice plain text "reader" option and the ability to view on a Mac or PC also.

  • Great magazine, good app

    Edge is an excellent magazine, but this app has a few small problems. It's a little slow and buggy when starting up and downloading, but nothing too bad. The most glaring problem is that it doesn't remember your position unless it's still running through multitasking. If you have used it recently and it is still in RAM it will remember your position, but as soon as it is forced out of RAM it starts back at the first page. It shouldn't be hard to fix this, the kindle app had this ability way before multitasking was introduced.

    These issues are small and don't detract much from the great content of the magazine. I would happily give this app 5 stars if they fix it so it always remembers your location.

  • Great!

    Works awesome, looks awesome. Very easy to read. I can't wait to see if they do work a way to get the regular magazine add-ins to subscribers. If so, it would be worth 10 stars.
  • Awesome- the magazine, digital!

    I love it- I can subscribe, buy back issues- the way a magazine app should be done.
