Merely gets the job done, but that’s what’s needed
RonnieBarzel
Some might bemoan the lack of bells and whistles when it comes to reading the magazine in this app, but it does exactly what I want/need: shows me the page. Going page to page is quick and simple, and the higher-level navigation is where you expect it to be, up at the top.Content wise, Retro Gamer is great, with a mix of lighter features and deeper dives into particular games/series/machines. In each issue, you will almost always learn something new.(Not doubting problems with the app that others have reported. It’s just that I haven’t encountered those problems over my years as a subscriber.)
Lost a ton of purchased issues with the updated app

I LOVE this magazine. I've been a subscriber for over four years and purchased A TON of back issues; seriously hundreds spent on back issues. Unfortunately, with the new app update, nearly every issue I purchased outside of my subscription is now not available, as if I never purchased it. I've emailed the publisher five times in the two weeks and haven't gotten ANY response outside of the automated email. If you ever worry about buying issues that somehow you might be forced to repurchase in the future, DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PUBLISHER, because that's exactly what's happened to me.
Great mag, decent viewer

Viewer works well enough. Can be a bit tough to turn pages.Magazine is fantastic, looks great on ipad even if i'd still prefer it in print. Readable on iphone but loses some of the charm of the beautiful page layouts from print edition due to being shrunk so small and having to zoom in to read the actual text.Also got 169 issues for $47, which is a phenomenal deal.
Love the magazine, but the app is subpar.
Danny Welch
There are several areas for improvement with the app, and I really hope the developers will address some of the many complaints over time. The performance is pretty terrible. The library section still has tons of screen space consumed by store, sub, and sign-in. There is a separate store section, so taking up real estate for the library view seems like overkill. There are so few options for organizing the library. Just adding the ability to manually adjust the order would be a huge plus.Anyway, I love the magazine enough to tolerate the issues with the application, but things good be so much better.
We’ve enhanced app stability and usability for an even better, smoother reading experience
