App is abysmal on iPhone 6 on iOS 11
I’ve been using this app for years on various iPhones and iOS versions with no issues but since I updated to iOS 11 on my iPhone 6 the app is absolutely abysmal to use. It is so slow and unresponsive that it is basically unusable.
Come on devs, please make this work for us older iPhone users. I’m not gonna pay £600 plus to upgrade my phone just to get a glorified PDF viewer to work at acceptable speeds.Show lessDave_J100
Edge
The Edge app on iPad Air 2 continuously freezes and/or crashes .
I have cancelled my subscription after no response from the app team, very disappointing after reading the magazine from the very start?

Great to read from China
Since I’m living in China it’s impossible to buy here so it’s nice to have this electronic form available. Of course the size of the issues on my iPad makes it impossible to keep more than a few for immediate access. But I’m happy. Been reading Edge for since the 1990s.Pablo in Beijing

So disappointing, and still no update
Going from a fantastic interactive magazine to this is devastating. A huge step backwards on all accounts. Once a great example of how digital literature should be done, now has downgraded all selling points to a that'll do standard. If we wanted what is now being given we'd of gone for a printed subscription as edge magazine has always out shined others on quality and attention to detail, even down to the quality of the paper. This new version lacks any of this. Just pdf's of what is printed, lazy work from future publishing.
Content from the writers is still second to none, but execution on delivery is abysmal in comparison to previous versions.
Damaging to the brand of what is an extremely well respected magazine.
6 Months on from writing this review nothing has changed.. sad to see the readers are not being listened too.. with a heavy heart I am cancelling my subscription and switching back to physical copies. Such a shame as loved having all my copies in one place without taking up space and prior editions having the class to impress friends with what the future of the medium looks like. Looks like this goal to innovate what literature is to become has been abandoned as well as its readers.Show lessFinx

Excellent magazine, poor digitisation
Just downloaded this for my new iPad Pro 12.9" and am pretty disappointed to find that this app hasn't been updated to support it, meaning that the UI is incorrectly scaled and looks terrible.
I was hoping that the extra size of this iPad would make the Edge app usable again, seeing as the magazines are borderline illegible on a normal-sized iPad following the decision to just make the issues scans of the real-life magazine. But there's no point having the extra size if the app doesn't support it.Show lessRyan J Williams
Good app, missing one big feature
Please add support for the (big) iPad Pro. Considering that most issues are PDF dumps, there's no reason to limit the resolution to a standard iPad.epmode
Just plain shabby
A magazine that once set the standard, not just in video gaming mags but for magazine production in general. Progressively that was chipped away, beginning with the resizing of the paper version and the insertion of standard magazine ads that disrupted the astonishing design of those earlier issues. It seemed to redeem itself with the iPad version, though only if you could afford to upgrade your iPad to keep pace with the increasing memory demands that occurred through the life of a subscription. I unsubscribed then I recall because I thought that pretty uncaring. Now I have an iPad Air and there is this great leap backwards into iPad one territory. No prior news. No apology. The magazine has a loyal following. The print in the paper version is too small. In this pdf version it is even worse. I guess we just get sucked into thinking that Apple and Edge are more than just companies after our money but this is also very Apple-like behaviour as anyone who uses a MacBook knows. One minute you have a fully functioning word processor the next you have a iPad app on a laptop! Well, Edge is cancelled and when the MacBook dies I'll go back to the PC.Show lessThe Other Reviewer
