  • Needs some serious optimization

    The pages take so much time to load, it's ridiculous. An iPad third gen should be able to display static pages with no hiccups.
  • Good price, limited use of iPad

    What a pleasure to be able to read Edge abroad at an affordable price, however one has to note that the reading experience is very basic, as close to pdf reading as you can imagine it to be, which can make it sometimes painful considering how much there can be in a page of this magazine. An enhanced iPad experience, even at an extra cost,would make a big difference!

  • Disappointed

    I was really hoping for a step up from the printed version. . . This was nothing better than the original magazine in non-printed form. Not that wonderful of a reading experience.
  • Good value

    The digital version is half the price of the print. You can indeed view a table of contents (hit index) and just double tap to zoom making the text readable. Good stuff.
  • Content is not optimized for iPad

    This app offer the print version of the magazine in a pseudo-PDF that you can zoom and pan, unlike some iPad optimized mags like Wired or GQ. Note quite as pleasant to read.
  • EDGE

    If you like reading gaming magazines, an EDGE subscription is for you. Interesting features and unbiased reviews are a great start. The ability to enlarge font, flick quickly between pages, and read in any light, complete the picture. Each issue costs me half of what I pay in the shops, arrives on time right to my iPad, and takes no space in my house to store. Just brilliant.

  • Last update

    The last update seems a little buggie. Top and bottom edges of viewing area misaligned, still see reading area, hard to see menus.
  • Great magazine, App needs improvement

    With the plethora of gaming journalism online, few magazines are worth purchasing. This is definitely one of them.

    However, there are a few issues with the app that get in the way of enjoying this otherwise excellent magazine. The main issue is that it doesn't save my place in the issues, so if I close the app or leave the issue, I have to scroll through the whole magazine to find my place again.

    Another issue I have is the home page, which is where you buy all the issues. It is UGLY. I want to see all the issues I purchased displayed aesthetically, like the newsstand app, and separate from the storefront. I can be alerted to the fact there are new issues available without being forced into the store every time.

    My ideal experience would be opening the app in Newstand to immediately see all the issues I purchased on a similar shelf, then tap on an issue to be taken to the last place I left off.

  • Not recommended if u have multiple devices

    A great magazine, but, you can't view it on multiple advices - even though it says you can. I purchased on my iPhone, with the intention of reading it on my iPad, but when I tried to copy it onto the iPad using the Restore Purchases option, it claimed that I had no purchases to restore. Looks like I wasted $5.49, because reading a 100+ page magazine on the tiny iPhone screen is not a pleasant experience. So it gets a 1 star review until this is fixed.

  • It's a PDF

    Was hoping for a nice digital mag, what I got was a PDF of the actual physical magazine. Small text and no interactive features. Highly disappointed. Be sure to download the free issue before subscribing to see what I mean.
