Dragon+ Magazine Reviews

Great content if one could get to it

I download an issue, read for a while, try to pick up where I left off - no luck. The issue simply won’t reopen. Not exactly difficult tech, so no reason for such a fail.

Great information, & free ideas

Being free you can’t complain, Dragon is a short read with great information

Freezes

Live Life for God

Downloaded all the magazines to read on my off time, it always freezes up. Erased everything, downloaded one magazine, read it, later in the day I went back to read it, it froze.

Everything was great, the app was flawless, I was enjoying some good D&D lore, and then BOOM! I can’t get in. I’m just stuck on the loading screen, waiting for it to let me in. BUT IT NEVER DOES! I tried restarting my device, deleting and re-downloading the app, but nothing worked. Please fix this. I just miss my lore.

Stuck at loading screen

Just updated iOS to 12.2 so maybe that’s the problem but I can’t get past the “Dragon+” initial screen.

App does not work anymore.

The app freezes on the opening screen “Dragon+” and quits working. Happens on both iPhone and iPad.

Annoying pop up

The app may be fine now, but the website keeps giving a pop up to download the app at every click while trying to view dragon+.

Issues not opening on iPhone

The app works fine on iPad, but Sometimes i can’t open any issues on my phone.

A Disappointing Continuation of a Beloved Magazine

5eGrognard

As a long time fan of Dragon magazine (both in digital and print) I was excited to see what Wotc was doing to continue the heritage of this publication now with 5th edition well under way. I should note that I absolutely adore the rule set for 5th edition, the simplicity of the basics has been absolutely amazing for introducing many of my friends to the hobby, and has opened up plenty of room for homebrew at the table. All the more reason that I found Dragon+ to be such a great disappointment. I understand that there are limitations with a free magazine, but issues seem to be over half advertisements, the only usable content tends to be unearthed arcana which was printed elsewhere, and even that has slowed to a crawl in its release. Clearly their initial statement that they desired to continue providing “lore and gameplay materials” in much the same way as dragon magazine provided was not what I had assumed they meant. If you don’t like the wizards of the coast website, this app is an okay (if often buggy) way to get news, if you can use their website, this app is a waste of space on your phone. I’d much rather pay a subscription for better content, like back in the old days of Dragon. No offense is meant to any individuals who enjoy this magazine, everyone has different tastes, and I suppose I just miss what Dragon used to be. Consider this just a warning to other old grognards, I’d pass on this app for now.

I would rate the content much higher than 2 stars, but it is the app itself that is disappointing. It worked well for a while. Then I couldn’t read downloaded issues and it would freeze if I tried. Then it stopped working altogether and will not open. Tried reinstalling, and it still will not open.
