### 1/5 — First time subscriber and I can’t sign in.

*2025-08-04*

I signed up over the computer and decided to subscribe using the app. For whatever reason there is no way to log in unless you subscribe. So I paid for the current month which was only $4 but I can’t even access it. The sign in does not let me sign in to my account. Also i tapped for the free trial but it still charged me the $4 and did not give me a free trial. Worst app ever. Next time I’ll just use the browser on the phone.

### 1/5 — Won’t download editions

*2025-03-20*

I was trying to support the game journalists, but got bitten in return. Just stays queued. Have closed and reopened- still just stays queued. I want my money back.

**Developer response:** Hi Lobo1986, Thank you for your review and brining this to our attention. If you could please contact us via the app or email apps@futurenet.com we will do our best to resolve this for you.

### 1/5 — Waiting to load

*2024-03-05*

It starts up the first time, but after downloading a few issues I only get a spinning icon when the app starts.  It’s broken for me.

### 1/5 — (Ex) Subscriber since oh like 1990 something

*2024-02-10*

Will never renew my subscription due to woke writers and staff. Adios.

**Developer response:** Many thanks for your review, and we're sorry to hear you've decided against continuing your subscription. As we're sure you can appreciate, we're committed to providing a broad spectrum of view and opinion in our magazine in order to appeal to our diverse and varied audience, and we're sorry if you no longer feel the magazine appeals to you in this capacity.

### 1/5 — Sort by most recent

*2023-10-15*

The most recent review is a year old. The rest are 4 plus years old. Really?  Apple is scamming people and removing reviews to boost sales.

### 1/5 — No customer support for subscribers after update

*2022-03-23*

I can’t log in and view my new magazine. I just renewed my subscription (somehow? Despite being notified of a card problem )

### 1/5 — Did a second grader make this app?

*2020-06-11*

The look is so horrible, it doesn’t feel modern or sleek at all. It’s very clunky and ugly.  It has a “scam website” feel.  I subscribed and tried to download an issue. It says if I’m not an iTunes user I need to sign in. First I need to actually create a login and password but there’s no place to do that and I’m NOT going to download something crappy like iTunes just for this app.  So I’m going to cancel my subscription...but guess what.  I need to download iTunes to cancel!  How are we in 2020 and some companies can’t make a good app.  Even just a decent one. I could go to Fivr and get someone to make me a better app than this.

### 5/5 — Prompt for purchase???

*2019-01-30*

I have an active iTunes subscription, yet when I attempt to download the March 19 issue, I’m presented with an App Store purchase screen for $8.99.  Why?

### 1/5 — Forced to purchase magazine each month, though subscribed

*2019-01-15*

Both the Maximum PC and PC Gamer magazine apps deserve less than one star. Each month, a person either needs to reinstall the app and restore purchases or pay for every new magazine each month, even with a monthly subscription. I’ve subscribed to each magazine for countless years, but after dealing with this broken app for nearly a year now, I’m unsubscribing. It’s not worth the aggravation, and Apple should pull the app.

### 4/5 — PC Gamer

*2019-01-08*

Not bad.
