Maximum PC App Reviews

Best magazine on computers and technology

The title says it all. The podcast is also a required companion and Gordons rants are priceless.

Great magazine now on iPad

After subscribing for many years for a hard copy of MaximumPC, I was faced with a dilemma: How do I get my favorite magazine abroad? Have them ship the copies to my new location and pay an "arm and a leg"? The digital subscription on ipad is an answer! Now I love it even more!

One of only two subscriptions Ive maintained

Very convenient way to read a great magazine and keep it organized for future reference.

Issues with Subscriptions

Ive been a subscriber for more than a year, but hadnt downloaded the February-May issues. Now I cant download them without getting charged! I cant get to them through the back issues screens or through the store.

Past issues

Great magazine but I cant get past issues I had only a year ago.

Great Mag, Great App

Icon for the magazine is somehow hidden from newsstand. Cant get it to come back. Can only open by going into App Store.

Great magazine

Looking for the latest and greatest? I love referring to this magazine for further purchases, tips, tricks, and reviews. Overall great magazine for newcomers and experts alike.

Best Mag for PC Enthusiast

Best Mag for PC Enthusiast. Also a great starting point for newbies.

Not all that great

Tries to force notifications on you. No frills worth having. Magazine content is frankly becoming past tense. Have seen both better apps and better magazines.

Once like no other,goes thru motions but still helpful.

Boot was an amazing magazine, exciting, I learned so much over the years from the doctor. I think much of the excitement has gone out and pcs are commodities and less the new frontier.

Thanks for trial

Good job

All things PC!

Great resource to know what is and whats soon to be in power computing and gameing.

Crash issues

Does nothing but crash now. Reinstalled like 4 times... And I paid for this

Crash crash crash

On my 32 gig ipad 2 it crashes all the time. Support blames me. Funny, I read newpapers everyday, never crashes. Martha Stewart mag never crashes. Family Handyman mag never crashes and so on. A shame but I am not renewing.

In-app purchase must be enabled to look at already purchased issues.

I suppose the app itself is okay except for the annoying requirement that in-app purchases be enabled to read something that is already purchased. This is the only magazine app that I have with this requirement. Very annoying.

Get with the program, needs iOS 8 update

Page turning is not smooth.

Crashes all the time

I used to love this app but now all it does is crash when it tries to open an issue. I cannot read all the issues I paid for. This is extremely frustrating. I have iOS8 and an iPad Air. I thought it was Newstand, but its Maximum PC. None of my other magazines crash like this.

Crashing, BE WAARNED!!

Lately I cant read the magazines. I am not sure what happened but it does nothing but crash. I hate it, Im paying for it and its just out of my reach. Wait until they fix it, or else avoid all together.

Terrible App

Future Plc makes terrible magazine app. It is almost impossible to get a subscription from them that will work on more than one device (iPhone and iPad). They seem to make you purchase the magazines more than once if you want to read it on your iPhone and iPad. You are better off subscribing to their pdf format...at least with that you can read on a PC and multiple devices.

No tab-out save state or app options

Being as this app is Maximum PC, I expected a top-notch app right from the start with standard reading features. This is unfortunately not the case. The app does save your current page when you tab out, however when you tab back in the app automatically returns you to the Store page and you must reopen the issue you were previously reading. To top it off, there are no options to turn this off or do anything reader-related. If these issues were fixed it would be a 5-star app, but as it is this is an annoying oversight, especially for a paying subscriber.
