Usability? Nope!

It resets to the beginning every time you reopen the app even when the tab is open. It’s just annoying having to start from the beginning every time I get a text or want to change a song I’m listening to. What’s worse is that this is a paid subscription through GameStop and we can’t even get a premium app! Okay so you can forgive the functionality of the app but what about the content? Every game is rated above an 8 I swear! No harsh criticism of any game at all. Your review on Gran Turismo 7 was pathetic! A paragraph? That’s it, that’s all you get? Look I understood we’re not printing magazines anymore but this is the best you can do? In all honesty I’m expecting even more content with a digital subscription. All you get are some photos, an option to buy the game or watch a trailer. Please change the title of your magazine to Lame Informer until you decide to stop being lazy and actually provide your paid subscribers real content! IGN blows you out of the water and their free! I gave you an extra star only because your app doesn’t crash, yayyyy! You did something right 🤦‍♂️

Can’t Sign In to App

While GameStop is pushing digital subscriptions (they don’t even give you an option, just will sign you up for digital unless ask specifically for print), the app is not usable at all.

I am unable to even login to my account, there is no option to sign in the page just errors out. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app still does not work.

My recommendation is to get a print subscription or to simply not sign up at all.

They don’t care

Such low ratings. Bugs galore. Yet they do nothing. They do not give a crap.
For me I can’t even log into my account. So app is useless.

Horrible App

Won’t let me log in. Contacted customer service and they stated they have no issues on their end. This was working several months ago and now I can even get in.

Needs review / updating ASAP

iPod 7th Gen 256GB. App does not let me see / is missing the My Account under the hamburger menu. Typing anything into the search bar crashes to the Home Screen. Please update this when you can.

Not a Perfect App

It runs a bit sluggish even on my iPhone 13. It’s missing an option to return to the main menu or I can’t find it, so I find myself constantly having to close the app and reopen it just to pick a different magazine to pick up on a different article. The bookmark is fine but it doesn’t always work. It would be nice if it had a more fluid interface that didn’t feel like it was about to take a crap and prompt me to close app. This app definitely needs attention that I don’t think it’s getting.

App needs to be open to download new issues

That is an absolute terrible understatement. I have a short attention span and must downmore than one thing at once checking in on it every couple of minutes would be great BUT NO!!! THE APP MUST BE OPEN TO DOWNLOAD THE NEW ISSUE. if you start the download and and switch to another app or just put it in the background the download STOPS. Not fun. Other than that I don’t have any issues.

Issues won’t load

Only can purchase. My subscription does not sync and I can’t view from this app. Has been an issue forever and is pretty ridiculous at this point

It… doesn’t work?

I activated it and logged in and it shows you the magazines with either 4.99 or subscribe under them. Hit subscribe and it tells me I am already subscribed yet it won’t let me view anything. Pls don’t waste your time on an app that doesn’t work.

Ads after purchase, really?….

I get it when a company needs to monetize something that’s free, sure it makes sense, but after I pay a year subscription you are really gonna put ads in the magazines?… really?… the app itself is awful and the fact that it has ads as well is a double whammy for poor leadership. Switching back to physical copies. This is an absolute joke. It’s a shame really because I grew up on these magazines and loved them.
