Great magazine, absolutely abysmal app
The future publishing apps are all so terrible, like barely functional. I’m stunned that these companies tolerate such shoddiness.

I have a subscription, and it constantly crashes and I’m unable to access new editions. Utter rubbish.
Be very wary if purchased through iTunes. Active membership fine for subscriptions but standalone purchases generate error code for which the support centre is unable to resolve. Restore iTunes purchases does not work nor does reset credentials and reinstalling app.
As above. Actually there is a bit more to say. Stable (using on iPhone), and worth mentioning as people have commented previously on issues around this. Great content and quality as always from seasoned reviewers. It’s lovely to be able to refer back to previous issues at any time, (nostalgia tick!).
One of the worst apps I’ve used so far, constantly deletes my downloaded issues and requires removing and reinstalling to fix, very annoying. Bonkers really from a company that specialises in PC games.
I have this on an ipad pro, it downloads fine and is nice and easy to use (once setup) Just open the app, tap to download a new magazine, old ones are archived to save space, it looks great on an ipad screen. You can easily zoom on the content to read it, which is as well written as ever. Only downsides are you have to subscribe on a website and enter details into the app, be nice to just pay via the app store. Also, so many ads, I get that it's just copying the magazine but it'd be nice to be able to pay to remove them... although I do like looking at all the fancy gaming PCs they advertise
I was looking forward to reading PC Gamer on my commute, but alas I have no PC Gamer so I'm writing this review instead. The app told me that because of an "upgrade" (strange - I didn't update the app) I would need to download all my issues again. Sure enough, where previously I had dozens of issues available for perusing, my iPad is barren. Overall score: 15%. Excellent content unfortunately fails to shine due to technical issues in the presentation and failing to make the best of the medium.
I've used this app for years being a digital subscriber, but it's bordering on unusable . The app seems to crash regularly and all my downloaded issues seem to disappear for no apparent reason, requiring them to be downloaded again. This isn't ideal if you work away. I really enjoy PC gamer but I'm seriously disappointed with this app. It needs fixing.
How many updates/years does it take to produce a simple magazine viewer & library?
Nice magazine to read, keeps me up to date with the gaming world.
