Edge magazine Reviews

Simply the best

Edge is a great mag with amazing writing, and the digital edition takes grist advantage of the features of the iPad. Buy it today!

Really thoughtful writing for techie mag!

I contacted the guys who developed Blek with a question. I never thought I would get a response, but I did. In the response, there was a link to an article from Edge, that further answered my question. What is the point of that long story? Well, it was really well-written and interesting. Deep and sincere. Not what I expected from techie magazine. I'm a new fan. The next thing I saw was about Red Dead Redemption! I was sold for life! :)

Style over substance

From a superficial design point of view, everything looks really impressive and there is a definite "wow" effect the first time you see all the animations etc. But when you actually want to read the content, it becomes clear that the devs chose style over usability. Some of the main things that annoy me: 1) No landscape mode possible 2) No zooming possible 3) It's really inconvenient having to scroll text in a tiny box because some pictures at the bottom of the screen are static. Looks cool, but as the app in general it's not very reader-friendly.

Crashes at start

Edge may be a great magazine but you'll never know as the app crashes as soon as you try to read an issue. I am on an iPad Air with all other applications closed, so this should not be happening. Subscribe at your own risk.

Crashes all the time

4 star magazine and a 1 star app. I like the content, but the app crashes too frequently. This is not just with IOS 8, it was crashing frequently on IOS 7 as well. I've been suffering through this because I do like the magazine, but after 2 years and what seems like very little effort from the developers to resolve these stability issues, I'm leaning towards not renewing my subscription as it's just too frustrating. I'm writing this review as I am waiting for the app to reinstall because my library was gone and the app kept crashing so all I could do was delete it from Newstand and try reloading it (not even sure this will work).

Hard to rate

I love the format of the digital edition and Edge is, to me, the best video game mag around. As an app...sometimes I have to delete it and re download and install the editions. It's kinda annoying but not so much that i quit using it.

Love The Mag, Hate The App

The magazine content is wonderful, especially on iTunes, but a buggy app ruins the experience. Common problems are being unable to download new issues without deleting the app and reinstalling as well as being unable to open the magazine without being kicked back to the home screen. It's a fantastic magazine, but the app makes it impossible to read!
