Leave a Review Edge magazine
All downloaded issues orphaned
I will second the fact that the update lost track of all the issues I had already downloaded, 5GB. I tried to download issues i already had to see what happened, and it used additional space and didn't replace the issue already downloaded. I had to delete the application in order to free up all the used space. It will take me hours to download and install all the issues again. But I haven't redownloaded the app. Edge has been a very nice app in the past. I hope there is an update to fix this.Show lessPrgSkidmark
Beware of the Latest Update
Updated a few moments ago and I can no longer open any issues. Tried restoring content numerous times to no avail. Data still shows 5GB being used by the app, so the content is there (or is it...). I reeeeaaaallllyyy don't feel like redownloading 5GB worth of data, so hopefully I'm just missing something.
Rebooted, updated firmware, rebooted again, nada. Won't even let me redownload content. Select, "Download Issue" and it just sits there staring at me with soulless eyes. Oh the humanity!Show lessUncleScrotar
More annoying than anything
The interactive issue could be amazing and and the effort certainly is appreciated but I can't help but find it extremely irritating! There is still too much superfluous animation that after awhile I start getting very frustrated and inside I am screaming 'I JUST WANT TO READ THE MAGAZINE!' I usually give up.
Other issues for me... The size of the interactive issues are just too big. I can only hold 1-2 issues before my ipad is choking. I use iTunes Match and don't have very many photos etc so see myself as an average user but I am finding I will really need a larger ipad to accommodate EDGE. The other problem with the increase in issue size is the amount of time it now takes to download an issue. I have an average but ok connection of 8mbps but it takes ages to download an issue.
I just wish there was an option to download the original basic style of issue which suited my needs perfectly. Hi-res but small, quick and simple...perfect. Or....failing this an option to turn off all the animation and maybe more compression of the issue size. Don't get me wrong I appreciate the 'interactive' extras but only when they add something.Show lessSean Kelly
Subscribe with caution
This is the publisher of Nintendo Gamer, which was cancelled part way through my 12 month subscription. I am having great trouble getting any refund or credit for outstanding issues. ITunes refuse credits and the publisher has not answered any emails on the matter.
Be aware of this before buying a subscription.Show lessmeikleberry
Worth WAY more!
This beats the living snot out of any magazine I have ever read on the iPad! I hope other magazines see this and follow its direction!Ca_Dreamer
Superb
This is a superb version of the magazine. I've subscribed to the printed edition of Edge for many years but it had got to the point where I didn't really read it any more. I downloaded a sample and was blown away by how much more useful it was. Games are a visual medium, this magazine exploits that to full effect with embedded videos and more screenshots. The added interactivity brings the articles to life and makes it a joy to read again. Plus for us folks who aren't in the UK it means we get the latest edition in a timely and reliable fashion.
This is exactly the sort of thing I bought an iPad for in the first place.Show lessjudge2005
Not quite there yet
Significant improvement in the optimised for iPad version - and it's good…but, text still takes the passenger seat and it becomes quite fiddly to scroll amongst images, graphics etc.
Take a few more cues from the best mag app, Wired, and you'll get there (and then I'll subscribe)Svenskättling
Great iPad Magazine app
I have downloaded a lot of magazine apps and subscribed to their content before this one and I have to say, this one is top notch. I have read other reviews but that must've been before they went digital because there's videos here, there's no loading issues, there's really high res screen shots, things are animated. Looks really nice. Compared to the rest, this is what I expect an iPad magazine to look like. Something interactive, not just something to flip pages through. Their most recent issue is something to check out. Just give it a tryShow lessFranklyngrullon
An iPad Magazine Done Right
Despite its obvious strengths as a media platform, magazines are struggling to build a product that leverages the iPad's unique abilities. Too often we get little more than overblown PDFs with a sprinkling of touch interaction, or magazines crammed into the (very limited) confines of Adobe's publishing tools for iPad.
With its new incarnation, The Edge has come up with something that truly works. It's intuitive, fluid, well-considered and beautiful. And that's just the icing - the content is fantastic.
If you are a gamer and you enjoy a well-made, thoughtful product, getting a subscription to this magazine on your iPad is a no-brainer. You owe it to yourself, and the magazine is deserving of recognition for such a fantastic piece of work.Show lessFloach-
Download Bug Still Not Fixed
I've paid for the new interactive edition and wasnt able to DL it in the last version of the app. I was hoping that this update would fix that, but I after updating I still am unable to download it. It just keeps saying "Download Error. Failure Downloading content. Please try again. I hope the developer is reading this and is working on a fix.
I am using an iPad 3, aka The New iPad if that helps at all.Show less@iENDERi
