We have brought all of the above into one place: the must-have app for any film lover. It's an all-access pass to the biggest and most exciting movies from around the world, waiting on your phone whenever you want it. 

Every article in the magazine is written by genuine film lovers. Our impassioned movie journalists care about creating the seminal cinematic journal that we release every month.

Whether it is reviewing the next big-screen masterpiece or conducting a world-first exclusive interview with Hollywood stars and directors, our journalists will bring you closer to the action.  

Since our first issue in July 1989, we have transported film fans across the world onto the sets and into the director’s chair of the world’s greatest films. We look forward to welcoming you.

## Empire Magazine Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "Empire lover"
Loved the mag since the very first issue!
-- hr65, 2024-07-19

### **--- "This pointless, we don’t have a cinema in swindon anymore"
We don’t have a cinema in Swindon anymore
-- Stratton slly, 2023-10-30

### ***-- "Sad Sudden Demise of Swindon’s Greenbridge"
WHY ….WHY. …WHY did it have to go ??? 😢😢😢🤷🏻‍♀️😢😢😢🤷🏻‍♀️
-- Splinter5043, 2023-09-27

### *---- "This app is awful"
Great magazine, the app is awful
-- Harvjc, 2023-09-04

### *---- "Vip is a waste of money"
I've received nothing. No cinema membership no first copy of magazine. It's an absolute scam. I have requested to cancel
-- Goldie0638619, 2023-04-14

### ***** "Duncan Cook"
Crap Doesn’t Work
-- ivan cook, 2023-04-11

### ***-- "Almost useless offline"
Most of the time the app and content is great. However if you download the magazine and go offline it more often than not does not work. Gets stuck on the “loading dynamic content” and you are left with nothing to read. Very frustrating.
-- taustwick76, 2023-02-23

### *---- "Unusable"
I’m at a point now where I can’t download any editions to my iPhone 13. I get an on screen message telling me I can’t download the latest issue and to check my Internet. I can’t remove the message, have to exit the App and when I reopen it, it repeats. Goodbye to my subscription which I’ve had long before the digital edition was a thing. Shame. 

PS any advice from the developer would be appreciated.
-- Dazed'n'Confused, 2023-01-12

### *---- "Slow…"
You know when you go to the pictures, and you have to sit and wait through seemingly interminable ads waiting for the film to come on… Empire has recreated this experience with its download times. So, although I would love to read this magazine, I often wander off to buy popcorn while I’m waiting for the feature to start, and, well, just never come back…
-- Kalahari, 2023-01-11

### **--- "Really hard to read on an iPad"
I love Empire, but find the latest version of the app dreadful. 
The magazine view makes you scroll around the screen trying to find the next bit to read amongst the pictures & the digital view won’t save your current reading place or bookmarks. 
Downloads on either often have blank pages meaning you have to delete the edition & download it again to find the missing pages. 
Now switched to reading it in the Apple News app - whilst I have a free trial to the Apple news 

Please fix the app!!
-- RJ Cotswolds, 2022-12-23

### ***** "Love Empire!"
The best independent movie-related content, reviews and insights. Great writing & design, app could be improved but ok. The content in it is what counts!!!
-- JimboFoz, 2022-09-21

### ***** "Great digital version"
Empire have clearly put a lot of thought into the UX and design of this app. It’s got great readability and accessibility with good zoom features and interactive swiping. I love it in this format.
-- Georgerjrs, 2022-09-09

### ***** "Go vip if you can"
It’s a great deal and I was already paying for digital and the spoiler specials. Been reading for over 20 years and it felt good to read a paper copy again
-- robhoops81, 2022-08-10

### *---- "App doesn’t work"
I’ve been a subscriber for 20+ years. Following the recent huge price increase I was offered the digital as a free add on. I tried it but it did not work - it allows me to log in but constantly goes around in a loop, asking me to log in. So frustrating. So not worth the significant price increase. ;-(
-- Plut0andm3, 2022-07-25

### *---- "Confusing and a further charge?"
I’m a subscriber to the magazine and was notified that my membership has been updated to the ability to use the app. However, when downloading the app, all I get is the (limited) free content and am told I need to pay to access further content. So, in reality, I haven’t been updated at all.
My original email stated I needed to use my customer number. Nowhere can I actually use it, seemingly
-- Oli82Blue, 2022-06-07

### *---- "A complete waste of money now"
With the latest update, they’ve turned a once great interactive app that was formatted and easy to read on an iPad, into what is now just basically a pdf viewer that is much trickier to read.

Obviously, cost cutting going on somewhere so don’t waste your money. I’ve been subscribing for over 10 years now & won’t be renewing.
-- neilj11, 2022-05-15

### *---- "Why did they change it?"
What on earth has happened? Like the review below the once optimised magazine has now resorted to a pdf of the print with not interactive features or mobile view with images cropped off. Awful decision by the powers that be.
-- Jasen G, 2022-04-28

### **--- "Update ruined a great app"
The recent update has ruined was previously a great way to consume magazine content nicely sized and designed for a small screen. Initially it was impossible to login as the app wouldn’t talk to the server (according to support) but even after that was fixed the content is presented as a basic white webpage missing all the artwork of the print issue. It looks like you are reading it in Microsoft word. The other option is to view what amounts to a pdf of the magazine with no formatting to screens size and no interactivity.  There is basically no point to a digital subscription over the website now so I’ll be cancelling when it’s up in a few months.
-- RealityCtrl, 2022-03-27

### ***** "Was good until latest update"
The app was great until recent update. Now cannot open it as keep being told password invalid despite resetting password. Support keeps taking me to Facebook which I do not use. Please fix this problem then I will submit another review
-- JoViola8, 2022-03-19

### *---- "Won maccies monopoly"
Never used app by won monopoly 2x so yolo
-- vsco girl save the 🐢🐢🐢🐢, 2021-09-22
