### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-12-25*

Subscribed to the yearly plan. The app keeps asking to subscribe and when I hit subscribe it says I’ve already subscribed. Biggest joke of an app I’ve seen my whole life.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review, and we're really sorry to hear you're experiencing difficulties with your subscription. For further assistance, please email apps@futurenet.com through the 'Contact Us' section of the app and our app support team will be happy to assist further. 

Thanks, 

The Digital Support Team

### 5/5 — Best magazine ever

*2024-03-02*

The only physical magazine I still buy: NME long dead, Uncut and Select gone or going, Private Eye too depressing. Occasionally get a copy of Empire but not regularly.

I have bought this since the mid 90s. The cover with Rise of the Robots is burned in my brain. I remember when it was preposterously sized, each page as big as a bedsheet. 

It is a constant in my life and when it dies I will raise a single hand to this godless universe, extend my middle finger and throw myself violently into a rose bush. Then I’ll get on with my day, but the point will have been made.

### 1/5 — Please fix

*2023-11-16*

Please fix this app - I continue to subscribe because I love the magazine but the app is barely useable for longer than a few minutes at a time before it crashes.

**Developer response:** Hi there, 

Thanks for leaving a rating and sorry to hear you're experiencing some issues. If you drop an email to apps@futurenet.com our team should be able to assist and hopefully get the app working perfectly for you, and your back issues back in your library.

All the best

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-05-09*

Great app which lets me read all the Edge content easily on my iPad or iPhone.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! We're glad you're enjoying the app.

### 1/5 — Same problem every time a new issue is out

*2022-08-11*

I took out a full yearly subscription, but every month I have to delete and reinstall in order to be able to download the latest issue. Otherwise it will quite happily take £4.99 from me again without the option to download the latest issue. Do yourself a favour and buy the print version instead with none of this hassle

### 1/5 — App horroroso

*2022-07-08*

A revista é ótima, o app uma monstruosidade digital. O Banner de download não aparecia de jeito nenhum para minha assinatura ativa. Tentei comprar na esperança que resetasse e mostrasse pro app minha assinatura, ledo engano, gastei 35 reais a mais.

Sugiro fortemente que fiquem com a versão física, o app é só arrependimento.

### 1/5 — Constantly having problems with having to buy new issues with active subscription

*2022-03-09*

Have an active subscription, checked it’s valid for several more months, sometimes I go into get the new issue this month and it hasn’t added to my catalogue and the only option is to buy it for £4.99. No idea why because it used to work fine and has happened several months now but had issues that are claimable in between. Sick of missing out on issues because of this problem

### 1/5 — Pure unmitigated garbage

*2022-03-02*

Good magazine, but the future publishing app platform is absolutely abysmal and barely functional. Half the time it just flat out won’t work, meaning when you get to read the magazine you’ve paid for is at the whim of whether the app feels like working on that particular day.

### 1/5 — Free trial isn’t working

*2022-01-11*

Free trial doesn’t work. You’re supposed to get the latest subscriptions with the trial, however, it still prompts you to buy every issue. Future needs to fix this.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2021-12-21*

Regular crashes. Too many adds asking if I want to purchase all of the back catalogue. A real shame that such a great publication is so let down with this app.
