### 4/5 — Good Magazine

*2014-04-30*

Love the magazine, however the app is a bit slow to download the magazine, and to change pages.  Also it sometimes it crashes but other than that, the magazine is fun and entertaining.

### 4/5 — Decent

*2013-10-14*

A decent app for the mag that I love but, it needs an iOS 7 update so that it fits the screen.

### 4/5 — Fantastic improvement

*2013-01-15*

The latest app update makes a big change to reading within the NEO app - at long last, no more clunky page turn transitions! Everything loads faster and more fluidly, and the interface looks great.

My only gripe, and it is a small one, is the yellow tint that everything turns when it can be pressed. It doesn't feel necessary. Other magazine apps survive without that - maybe just an underline if its in a paragraph - but the contents pages are now bathed in a pale yellow, which subtracts from the look of the magazine. Not really necessary, considering its a contents page!

Other than that, a fantastic improvement. Looking forward to seeing what's next!

### 4/5 — Best uk anime mag, needs to be in newstand

*2011-11-07*

The app worked fine. Get 1 mag download with purchase. Wish it was available in newstand though. Nicely lil animated page flipping effect. Overall best place over than the many websites on the net to get Anime collected news for the uk

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2011-05-04*

This app works well. I would like an option to just read the text for the articles and adjust the size of the print like zinio magazines.  Zooming in & out of pages kind of gets old after a while. Though double tapping works to zoom into a section. Overall the mag is an enjoyable read. Thanks.

Update: The iPad app worked better for me than on the iPhone. The amount zooming needed on the iPhone to read the articles makes it tough.  Again, an option to read the text of the articles formatted for the iPhone's small screen would be greatly appreciated.

### 5/5 — Pointless

*2011-04-01*

The app WAS fantastic, I love reading neo best mag for Asian information but the latest update will not even let the app open!

### 3/5 — Excellent app but more back issues please!

*2011-03-04*

Great app, except for two (redeemable) things:

(1) Please include more back issues, including the sold-out issues #73 and #74, which even those of us with paid-subscriptions somehow didn't receive!!! (Currently only issues from #75 are available.)
(2) Those with print subscriptions should automatically be eligible for, or be able to switch to, online subscriptions.

Otherwise, great app! Great job!

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2011-02-24*

It's good but you could put all the old issues on and they are a bit pricey to say it isn't on paper

### 5/5 — Brillant

*2010-12-31*

This is a very good app i downloaded it in my iphone.  I'm always bored on the way to work with nothing to do. With this I have something to read which I like. Although it's a bit pricey but it's still worth it!!!!!!!!!!'

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2010-12-18*

I love the fact that this app is now available on the iPad. The prices are okay but that isn't something I am going to grumble about. The content in the magazine has always been amazing and I hope more development goes into this app in the future to make this even better than getting a print version from the shop. It also allows for the magazine to continue with great value for money. Well done!!!

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2022-11-24*

Keeps crashing everytime go and select a magazine.

### 1/5 — Whhhhy do we have to pay...

*2013-03-22*

...before even buying an issue? Ridonkulous.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2012-12-31*

App is a joke, only just bought it and already cant even get into it as it just crashes before I even get into it. Worse than useless and I paid for it before even buying an issue. I wont be picking up the hard copy of future issues either after this.

### 1/5 — Neo magazine app

*2012-11-01*

The app won't open for more than a few seconds

### 2/5 — It's ok..

*2013-05-05*

The app has the right idea but downloading a magazine is painfully slow and if you go to something else it will not download in the background .Other than that , its a pretty good magazine .

### 2/5 — Nice..but

*2012-05-20*

This is a nice magazine but it hangup alot and if it does no way to make it work except reinstal !!

### 2/5 — Potential

*2012-04-22*

Seems to be a great app or concept, it's just... That the app freezes or doesn't load at all. On some issues, not all pages fully load and the resolution is awful.

### 2/5 — Neo

*2012-02-29*

Is opening, but when I go to read the mags I get a blank black screen. Not happy when I love the mag.

### 2/5 — Better to buy mags

*2011-01-05*

The apps great but payin for the App then buyin the mags...  Ya might as well go shop an buy them..

### 3/5 — Cool magazine, meh app.

*2011-10-15*

For whatever reason, the pages appear extremely blurry until you zoom in. Might not be noticeable on a low-res screen, but it sure is noticeable and annoying on a Retina display… I don't wanna have to zoom in on every page just to get a clear look at the images. I'd imagine it'd be pretty bad on a large screen like the iPad's too.

Also, it'd be nice if the app was updated to support Newsstand.

Great app. And love the mag.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2013-05-05*

I have always been looking for a decent animie and manga magazine but never really had time to look or to go buy one this has made my life so easy love it

### 5/5 — Super!

*2013-04-29*

So easy to download and read the new releases plus a compact way of storing all of your issues. 
Just started to read Neo? You can also download past issues.

A great app for any anime fan!

### 5/5 — Neo

*2013-04-23*

Do you have a personal interest in anime/manga/Asian pop culture?

Neo is a great magazine to start from.

It's digital format is much cheaper then buying it it the shops. Recommend subscribing to save money.

### 5/5 — Neo

*2013-04-10*

Good issue. App easy to use.

### 5/5 — Neo

*2013-03-01*

One of the best apps to date, had a few problems when first got it but since the upgrades no problems at all

### 5/5 — Works for me!

*2012-03-25*

If the screen is black after download, I think you just delete issue and download it again. You won't be charged again. My was fine first time. Excellent magazine!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2011-06-26*

Not sure why people are complaining about paying for the app.
Once you buy the app you also get a free issue of your choice from their latest collection, meaning your paying for your first issue at a discount price.

Now being able to read the magazine anywhere without having to carry a paper magazine makes my day.
