  • ...Wow

    I love printed magazines. Digital magazines are often clumsily thrown together, and I initially scoffed at the $40 fee. I'd pay it again in a heartbeat because this app is just beautiful. This is how I want to read my game news!
  • Undownloadable

    The magazine takes hours to download for some bizarre reason, I bought an issue last week and still haven't been able to read it, because it's taking up over 500mb of space before finally failing to download.

    Needs fixing fast.
  • New version is completely broken

    How about fixing old bugs before adding new even buggier features? This subscription has been such a waste of money. Can't even read the magazines I paid for. Support is hopeless too!
  • Wonderful re-imagining of the this magazine

    I am extremely impressed with the amount of effort that has been put in this magazine, it's layout, and original content. Price is right for the sheer quality and quantity of original content.

    A couple of UI suggestions:
    1. Speed up page to page transitions. Sometimes I feel like I'm waiting too long for page to animate before reading it.
    2. Enlarge the 'x' target. I feel as if I have to tap it at least 2-3x before I close a picture.
    3. Some film strips can be cumbersome to navigate. You have to close one and click on next photo instead of just swiping over.
    4. Why is the cover in newsstand an advertisement?
    5. It can sometimes be a little confusing knowing on what pages you need to scroll down for more content.

  • Incredible.

    Don't read any gaming magazine except this one. Edge is intelligent, analytic and entertaining coverage of everything to do with gaming. Literally the best games magazine available, without doubt.
  • Beware, try interactive version first

    I subscribed for a year just before the interactive changes were revealed. Now I regret it, the older print style is way more to my taste (particularly the much smaller font). But it turns out there is no way to cancel a subscription in progress, and get a refund.

    Zinio still has the print style, so consider whether you prefer that.

  • Best gaming magazine, but formatting issues.

    Content: I have been an avid reader of this magazine since it began in 1993. The reason why its the best gaming magazine, is the focus is more on the innovation of the gaming industry, rather than what's popular. This is noted by the fact that there have only been about 14 games to get a 10/10 rating!
    If you want to know how the gaming industry is changing and what's on the horizon; this is the magazine for you. Price is $4.99 because its a UK magazine, but well worth the price for the articles.
    Tech: Recently they fixed a few issues with the graphics and the annoying advertisement that appeared, instead of the cover in Newsstand.
    The main problem - CONSTANT ZOOMING in order to read an article.
    Fix it please and I would subscribe in a heartbeat; but for now I wait.

  • Dishonored?

    Great magazine but why is the cover of the latest issue taken up by an advertisement? I want to be able to look back at all my past issues and remember what is in them by looking at the front cover. Is the front of the print version taken up by an ad?
  • Great update!

    This latest update is fantastic on the Retina iPad. Previous versions took about 3 seconds to render the hi-res page every time you turned the page, this version takes about 0.5 second (if that), which makes all the difference in making this a worthy replacement for the print version. The text also used to look a bit funky even when zoomed in, even though it looks to be essentially a PDF, and this version seems to have resolved that too.

    It's also great that I can now buy Edge in Australia now for $3.50 per issue if I go a 12 month sub, as opposed to the $15 per issue air freight copies in a newsagent.

    Win Win.

  • The update I've been waiting for!

    Edge is a beautiful print magazine. Now with this new update I can enjoy how beautiful it is also on the new iPad. Previously it was either all pixelated or too slow to render. This update seems to have fixed all those problems.

    I hope the rest of the Future PLC magazines get updated as well.
