  • Hard to rate

    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. It's kinda annoying but not so much that i quit using it.
  • Crashes at start

    Edge may be a great magazine but you'll 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.
  • Love it

    Awesome
  • Style over substance

    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) It's 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 it's not very reader-friendly.

  • Really thoughtful writing for techie mag!

    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. I'm a new fan. The next thing I saw was about Red Dead Redemption! I was sold for life! :)

  • Nice

    Nice app
  • Simply the best

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

  • Love the mag, hate the app

    Sorry guys, I really felt like I'd 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.
  • After all these years...

    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 we're not haha).

    Edge is the only industry periodical I read with any regularity, FWIW (and it's so much better now that we've evolved beyond the need to kill so any trees for each issue!)

  • Terrible UX

    Failed to download an issue 3-4 times with no reason (counter restarted back to 0%). After 2hrs of trying to download an issue it finally completes to tell me it can only be viewed on an iPad despite saying the app is universal. What's the point in letting me even run the app on an iPhone if I can't read any of the issues downloaded with it? Cancelling subscription.
