Leave a Review PC Pro Magazine
No offline access
Continuing the woes with this abysmal app. Since the last update, even the offline feature doesn’t work. You can tap to download locally, but if you try and read it without an internet connection, the app just freezes. Absolutely useless when travelling on things like planes! As before, a good magazine ruined by a terrible app. Surprised with all the experts in the magazine, they can’t get one of them to sort this out!Show lessLadfromYork
Very Basic
Each page is not fully displayed, you need to scroll up and down, there’s no way to zoom in/out.
No interactive table of contents to enable navigation to a chosen article.
This is a very basic viewing app.wol3001
PC Pro - could do better
Disappointingly old-fashioned UI. Shouldn’t have to search through a bunch of print-facsimile pages to find, e.g., reviews for printers that excel in photo-printing.DanCCHamm
Can’t buy…
The same problem as the last two reviews. No way to buy or subscribe it seems. It’s the same with the Computeractive app - also Dennis publishing. Been like this since October. Respond please Dennis… Even better, fix it! Four stars for when it’s working…grahruss
Problems
Since October 2021 Am having nothing but problems with pcpro app. The ability to buy single issues has vanished from the app!
So I started a digital subscription, the instructions to access my account are all wrong! They don’t work!
So frustrating , have been with pcpro for years.Agilly666
Bookmarks would make this more useful
While the scrapbook option is ok for single pages, it would be much more useful to have a genuine bookmark option to allow re-reading useful articles that run over several pages.NickR10r
Access failure
Subscribed for years. Couple of times had to renew existing subscription to get access to already paid subscription. Not a big problem. Now I can’t access the magazines the app reporting an auth error. Emailed developer who sd have to deal with Apple. Contacted Apple who gave some advice that didn’t work and sd app developer is responsible. So paid for subscription but cannot access the magazine and no one takes responsibility. Great magazine absolutely worthless supportShow lessIdreamtime
Oh Dear
As a long time magazine subscriber, I finally ‘upgraded’ to the digital version too. Unfortunately, there are a lot of basic mistakes with this app.
1. Why do the past editions not appear in order? There is a run of months in the correct order, then suddenly a few are out of order, then back in order again. (And the issue numbers are not readable in iPhone)
2. The content is not hyperlinked. Why can’t I click on an item in the index, and be taken to the relevant page. I either need to swipe through 50 pages to get to the right page, or navigate to a drop down list of pages in the home menu (helpfully just a list of page 1, page 2 etc!), then click the page. It would be even better if the content was hyperlinked across editions. (So I could click on a review from the A-List section and be taken to the correct edition and page).
3. On iPad, the pages are rendered just slightly too big to fit the screen! So you end up scrolling up and down a few lines to be able to see the whole content. Why not fit to the screen height? This would result in a solid view of the page, with left/right swiping always turning the page. At the moment, a slight drift up/down with your finger caused the page to scroll up/down and not turn.
It’s a real shame these issues exist, since the content is excellent, and I will continue to use it to inform my purchasing decisions in the future. Hopefully, the app will be updated soon.Show lessPrograminator
PC Pro
It appears that each new edition has less and less relevant content and smacks of desperation on the part of the contributors.petesmithies
Issue management
Duplicate issues are not easy to remove from Library.
App menu does not allow you to download the latest issue nor does it advise when the digital download will be available.Bob@KV
