PC Gamer (US) App Reviews

Just nice to read

Earlier issues are unavailable for individual purchase, what a shame. Defeats 1/4 - 1/2 of the reason to have this app/magazine. And youre nuts if you think Im going to buy an issue if I cant AT LEAST look over the cover & read the teasers, and read the contents page to know what is in it.

Everything I wanted in a magazine app is here. Just 2$ a month if you subscribe which is awesome!

I subscribed as soon as the newsstand was available, and since have only been given access to the original issue. I have already been charged for a renewal and I dont have access to any issues since the first, though it recently shows two others asking me to buy them. Fix this app please, I am regretting my purchase.

I bought the October issue in September but now its November and there has not been a new issue since. This is very disappointing because I bought a subscription and I am regretting that. There was an update but I still cannot access the issues that I purchased.... Whats going on?

Charging me money for nothing, totally dissapointed

I subscribed almost immediately when Newsstand launched, received issue 218 (the Original) and I was happy. As time passed I started wondering where my other issues were. The app shows issues 220 & 221 are available, for $8.99. Clicking on the "Subscribe" button notifies me that my subscription is valid until Dec 03, 2011 Ive emailed support at least three times now and gotten nothing back besides the automated response that they have received my email (and renewal money). Please fix.

I love the idea of being able to read PC gamer on my iPad. But the fact is it doesnt work. After subscribing I finally get access to an issue 2 months old several weeks later. Im tempted to just try the UK version, but Im afraid Ill be SOL there too, seeing as its the same publisher.

Contacted company and all issues avail for download today. Will wait until next issue release to move this up to 5 stars. Content looks excellent on my ipad and i love the 2 dollar a month subscription rate.

The magazine reader app itself is very good. The controls are intuititve and the magazine resolution is excellent even when zoomed on fine print. Unfortunately, the December and holiday issues were not posted to the app for many weeks after the print versions were published. Given the nature of the magazine, the products and advertisments become obsolete very quickly. Hopefully, Future Plc will give the digital releases the same priority as print and this will eventually become a five-star product.

Subscribed. Got a notice saying latest issue available for download. There is no issue available for download, I want my money back.

Ive been reading the hard copy for years and stopped a few months back because I only read magazines on the iPad now. Since making that switch Ive picked up several subscriptions and enjoyed them all. Saw this one today and got excited given the high res pics. What a disappointment. 20$ (same as most iPad mags) to get a scanned copy of the magazine, no interactive content or benefit from being on the iPad unlike every other one Ive bought, and worst of all, EACH page has to render before it goes from a fuzzy state to something you can read. I mean heck, if you are just going to scan the magazine at least make it so it works quickly! I have a 3rd gen iPad! Wtf?! Highly suggest you stay away until they radically change this app.

I got this thinking it would be good to be able to read on the iPad. The text is sharp and easy to read and the images look better than the print version (how is that possible?). This app needs some tweaking though; bookmarking each section of the mag would be helpful. They should also make it so you can click on the newsstand to get the newest issue right away. If you paid more than the $1.99 for an issue, you got an older one Id say. Make these changes, guys, and Ill give you 5 stars.

PC Gamer is a terrific magazine. The subscription price cant be passed up, compared to buying the paper copy in-store. Its just too bad the US edition isnt available via the Zinio app like the UK edition is. Zinio has a faster download service plus the magazine can still be read as it downloads. Oh well, just having magazines such as this available on the iPad is a convenience in itself anyway.

Its been a few years, and for technology magazine, this is very obsolete.

Great info and the app is awesome

Handy and a good magazine.

Love it been reading pc gamer since 95 time to go with the emag version less space in the basement lol. Not 5 stars because i just got the app so cant really tell if there is any issues.

No better source of information on PC Games.

I simply like the way this app work and the content, as a gamer.
