### 5/5 — Great Magazine

*2021-09-03*

I live in the USA. We do not have a magazine like this here. We use to. I’ve ordered several years of back issues.
Thank You 
Bob N3DOK

### 5/5 — Excellent Value!

*2018-12-21*

I was glad to see this magazine on the bookstore shelf and even happier to see the electronic version.

### 5/5 — Not sure

*2017-03-15*

Downloaded app and bought a single issue to check it out. So far I can't get past the intro section and no idea where the issue is that I bought? It's a shame if I can't spurt this out I was looking forward to this app

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2016-12-15*

The app works well and doesn't have any issues that I can tell.  This is also the best monthly circuit magazine out there IMO.

### 1/5 — Great Magazine but won't run on iPad Pro!

*2016-10-06*

Subscribed to EPE again on my iPad Pro only to find it immediately crashes after you launch the app. Very disappointing! Come on EPE get this sorted before you lose your subscribers!!!!

### 5/5 — A superb magazine

*2016-09-29*

So you might think this magazine was for geeks? Wrong. You might think it's too technical? Wrong again.

Up to date news about the latest in TV, audio and Internet developments... Industry developments and insider critiques of big decisions... Hilarious write ups of something you thought of building but never got round to doing so... Projects to support your A level or Degree practical unit...

It has it all. They have the know how, you have the interest, they have the skills, you need to buy that subscription.

Enough said.

### 1/5 — Lost my bought magazine

*2016-03-15*

If I buy a hard copy magazine I am responsible for storing it for as long as I want to keep it. When EPE changed their magazine system to Pocketmag, the magazine I had bought disappeared. I have tried their restore facility several times and .... nothing. Electronically stored magazines like EPE should be seamless, it is not my fault that EPE changed the way they deliver the magazines, so why make me do all the work? I used to be able to read the magazine and refer to it when I wanted. Harcopies only for me from now on.

### 1/5 — Scam artists of the worst type.

*2016-01-01*

This app installs itself onto your iPhone and cannot be removed.

### 3/5 — OK, but too much construction

*2015-08-07*

I'm an electrical engineer (retired) and lifelong electronic hobbyist.  There aren't that many electronic magazines anymore so I'm glad that this magazine is still around.  But, I find that much of it involves construction of some project. Yes, there are educational articles, but, in general, I'm no longer interested in building things, especially things that require unique parts and circuit boards.  Having said that, I'm still taking this magazine in hopes that there may be something of interest.  It's cheap enough in digital download and I don't have any paper to save.

### 5/5 — An old friend

*2014-03-20*

I have been reading EPE magazine for many years, indeed going back to when Everyday Electronics and Practical Electronics existed as separate publications. It's really great to know that it is still going strong, and indeed reinvented itself for the internet age. I just wish Practical Wireless would do likewise. The magazine is great value and the app is a pleasure to use.
Well done!
