Great magazine, absolutely abysmal app
The future publishing apps are all so terrible, like barely functional. I’m stunned that these companies tolerate such shoddiness.
Hopeless app
I have a subscription, and it constantly crashes and I’m unable to access new editions. Utter rubbish.
Error 442350
Be very wary if purchased through iTunes. Active membership fine for subscriptions but standalone purchases generate error code for which the support centre is unable to resolve. Restore iTunes purchases does not work nor does reset credentials and reinstalling app.
Reading PC gamer... anywhere..! Enough said!
As above. Actually there is a bit more to say. Stable (using on iPhone), and worth mentioning as people have commented previously on issues around this. Great content and quality as always from seasoned reviewers. It’s lovely to be able to refer back to previous issues at any time, (nostalgia tick!).

Terrible App
One of the worst apps I’ve used so far, constantly deletes my downloaded issues and requires removing and reinstalling to fix, very annoying. Bonkers really from a company that specialises in PC games.
Great content, great app, lovely
I have this on an ipad pro, it downloads fine and is nice and easy to use (once setup)
Just open the app, tap to download a new magazine, old ones are archived to save space, it looks great on an ipad screen.
You can easily zoom on the content to read it, which is as well written as ever.
Only downsides are you have to subscribe on a website and enter details into the app, be nice to just pay via the app store.
Also, so many ads, I get that it's just copying the magazine but it'd be nice to be able to pay to remove them... although I do like looking at all the fancy gaming PCs they advertise

Deleted all my issues
I was looking forward to reading PC Gamer on my commute, but alas I have no PC Gamer so I'm writing this review instead. The app told me that because of an "upgrade" (strange - I didn't update the app) I would need to download all my issues again. Sure enough, where previously I had dozens of issues available for perusing, my iPad is barren.
Overall score: 15%. Excellent content unfortunately fails to shine due to technical issues in the presentation and failing to make the best of the medium.

what have they done????
I've used this app for years being a digital subscriber, but it's bordering on unusable . The app seems to crash regularly and all my downloaded issues seem to disappear for no apparent reason, requiring them to be downloaded again. This isn't ideal if you work away.
I really enjoy PC gamer but I'm seriously disappointed with this app. It needs fixing.

Never got my codes
After followed the instructions in the magazine I expected my codes within a couple of days. It's been a month! I'm really mad that I haven't gotten a reply from support! Unless this is resolved I'll never buy or recommend this magazine again.
Why the endless updates?
How many updates/years does it take to produce a simple magazine viewer & library?
Great Magazine!
Nice magazine to read, keeps me up to date with the gaming world.
Great magazine.
Great magazine.
PC Gamer
One of the few PC magazines I trust when it comes to reviews
Annoying!
I keep losing the page I'm on and have to flick back for ages!
Could have been great but....
....crashes to desktop on trying to open an issue. Not great when that's the app's sole purpose. No updates since July 2014 in spite of numerous ios changes. Poor support (I was told to reinstall and reset my iPad each time I wanted to use the app!!). Avoid until they can be bothered to update it (I have iPad Air 128MB)

Crashes - PLEASE FIX
Crashes whenever I try to open a magazine - iPad Air 2, iOS 8.2
Rubbish App
On iPhone 6, iOS 8, keep crashing. The developer need to fix the bugs. I'll be seeking a refund and stick with hard copies.
Current version is broken
As others have mentioned, do not download this app until they update it. Right now it crashes every time you try and read a magazine.
Worked once
Worked once and now it crashes every time I try to open a magazine...
A Good Gaming Magazine
This is a good magazine. It delivers high quality reviews, stories, and information. If you want to check out their style, read an article online. I recommend this magazine to any gamer looking for a way to find new games, or revisit old favorites.
