Download Stuffed
I am total annoyed with this magazine in digital form, as I am having the same problem of my downloads not completing, nearly every month now, & I have written emails asking for the problem to be fixed, but they seem to be totally ignoring me now as I have not been able to download the last two editions, & have sent several emails.
I am also annoyed at the way they don't allow zooming, I mean that is one of the best things in iPad is the zoom capabilities, no they must think everyone has the new iPad.
Two strikes, I am thinking of asking for the rest of my subscriptions money back, come on guys get your act together with download or get out of the online digital magazine business, as it is beyond you.

Crashing and multiple download
Good content, but the app nevers work. Need to download 5 times.
Broken
Downloaded the latest issue (Witcher 3 cover) but the app hangs every time I try to read it. I've tried downloading again multiple times but I keep encountering the same problem. Avoid.
50
After 50 attempts and a new router I've finally successfully downloaded January's issue. February downloaded after a few attempts fortunately. I love the product but for the love of god please fix the server connection issues! Glad to see I'm not the only one having problems.
Waste of money
Bought a 12 month subscription but can't download any issues due to internet connection problem apparently. Seems weird that I have no problem downloading any other mags I have subscribed to. Emailed gameinformer about problem but they said my email address doesn't match any magazine subscription accounts. This is impossible as I have had only 1 email account for as long as i can remember. Also emailed the receipt from iTunes for the Subcription but got the same reply. Easier to just pickup latest issue from the newsagent!

Great magazine, but crashy app may be deal breaker
Finally got it to work, but there's definitely a problem here. No way it should take 7 tries to download/be able to read an issue. I did uninstall and re-install the app. But the problems I experienced persisted (for issues Dec 2012-Feb 2013). Is this an Apple or Game Informer problem, I don't know. If it matters, I'm using an iPad Mini. Love this magazine and the app IU, but if this problem persists, it'll be a deal breaker for me.

Brutal Experience. Boring Content.
This app crashed constantly - had nothing exciting in it content wise when it did open (the one time) and overall is a glorified PDF reader. If this company is doing even half as well as this app - they're in trouble...
Disappointed
The December issue was great, it featured the GTA IV article. But as mentioned in the other review I have not been able to download the January issue with constant timeouts and downloads that do not resume.
Once this is addressed I may change my review but for now I regret the 12 month subscription I made.

Constant errors whilst downloading issues
I have tried repeatedly to download single issues from within the application without success. It always errors out indicating that the connection to the server has been lost. Often times it will not resume downloading which is very frustrating - yesterday I download 630MB of 631MB and it lost the connection! I am on my corporate fibre connection so my internet link is reliable.
Please, please, please fix the caching so that partial downloads can be resumed under this worst-case scenario.

Great magazine, Terrible app
In this day and age, if you can't create a simple magazine app that equates to little more than an interactive PDF reader, my advice would be to just pack it in.
At first the app was great and then was prone to crashing and freezing at the startup screen. I have updated the app and am still trying to download the Jan issue. I have tried on almost 10 different occasions to DL this issue with less than satisfactory results. It's DLing as I write this. I'm going to go back to the app in mid review and see what's happening... BRB...
Okay, surprisingly it didn't crash and it's at 312mb. So far so good.
The content is fantastic and that would get 5 stars, but the app needs far more stability. The Jan issue is now mine to read... Let's hope next month is hassle free.
