### 1/5 — Keep getting signed out

*2026-08-31*

I download magazines an get signed out when I’m not on app just 1 day an re sign in forces me download magazines again it’s irritating

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We will pass your suggestion to our team.

### 1/5 — Lost Access to Previous Issues in Sub

*2026-08-31*

You need a subscription to read the issues you previously had access to. Other magazine apps give you access to issues released during the period of your sub even if you don’t renew, why can’t Game Informer do the same? The back issues from before the relaunch are also blank.
UPDATE: Developer replied to review with a request to contact support. Why? It states on the website that you lose access to the archive for the relaunch issues if you don’t renew. I wasn’t aware of this when I bought a subscription. If I did, I wouldn’t have subscribed. I’m writing this just to let people who plan on getting a digital subscription know that they’re just renting the magazine.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. Could you please reach out to us at support@gameinformer.com? We will be happy to help and address your concerns.

### 1/5 — Gamescom 2026 Germany

*2026-08-30*

Wir haben auf der Gamescom 2026 an einem Gewinnspiel teilgenommen und mussten dafür extra die App herunterladen. Leider entstand bei uns der Eindruck, dass die Gewinne nicht wirklich fair bzw. transparent vergeben wurden und offenbar Personen gewonnen haben, die den Veranstaltern bekannt waren.

Für mich war das sehr enttäuschend. Die App habe ich direkt danach wieder gelöscht und würde auch anderen empfehlen, sich vorher gut zu überlegen, ob sie dafür extra eine App installieren möchten.

Mehr Transparenz bei solchen Gewinnspielen wäre meiner Meinung nach dringend notwendig.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you left with the impression that the giveaway wasn't run fairly.

We'd like to clarify how the draw actually worked: winners were picked using a physical raffle drum with paper entries, drawn live at the booth. There was no digital selection process behind it, which means it wasn't possible to preselect or influence who would win. Every entry had an equal, physical chance of being drawn.

We're sorry you didn't come away as a winner this time. We hope you'll consider joining us again.

### 2/5 — Basic functions but can’t read anything

*2026-08-30*

Even past magazines have all the words removed from the spread so one can’t read issues one otherwise could in the browser. Excited to see where the app can go because the layout is good but currently unusable and preventing me from wanting to subscribe

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. Could you please reach out to us at support@gameinformer.com and provide screenshots? We will be happy to help with this issue.

### 3/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-09-01*

For articles that feature a list of some sort, the article stops after the introduction and the actual list and written blurbs for each item are not there. I have to open the article on my internet browser to read the whole thing. Not sure if this is intentional? It’s pretty inconvenient. Otherwise, I do love everything else about the app!

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. Could you please reach out to us at support@gameinformer.com and provide screenshots? We will be happy to help with this issue.

### 3/5 — Beautifully designed, but flawed.

*2026-08-30*

The app is promising, but the first couple of articles I clicked on did not load their image content, which were their focal point.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry you had issues with loading images in our articles. Could you please contact us at support@gameinformer.com? We would be happy learn more about this problem and help you to resolve it.

### 4/5 — Two-page view for magazines not working on iOS or Android

*2026-09-07*

Two-page view for magazines not working on iOS or Android. Tested with iPhone 17 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+.

### 4/5 — Finally!!

*2026-09-06*

I’m glad an app is finally here, but it’s kinda hard to use without mouse/trackpad support on iPad. Hopefully this is added soon!!

### 4/5 — WOW

*2026-08-27*

My fav game magazine. Super hyped

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback!

### 5/5 — Happy to have an app

*2026-09-05*

Great Start , now we need just more offline functionality (maybe also podcasts and videos) and better downloads of the magazine itself .
