User Reviews

Reviewers praise SFX for its informative, high-quality sci‑fi content and magazine experience, noting strong content value. However, reliability problems are frequent: crashes on startup or during reading, and persistent purchase/download issues that can cause errors, deletions, or failed restorations. Subscriptions disappearing after updates is also mentioned by one reviewer. Overall, the content is solid, but stability and download/purchase reliability need improvement.
Pros
  • Informative, high-quality content on entertainment and sci‑fi.
  • Strong sci‑fi magazine presence with credible information and value.
  • Good mobile usability; reviewers report the app stays usable on iPhone.
Cons
  • Crashes on startup and when reading that hinder use.
  • Purchase/download errors and data loss/restoration issues with downloaded magazines.

Crashing on startup on iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1

This magazine does exactly what it promises. It gives you great information on everything you could want in the field of entertainment. It isn't a "Star" or "Entertainment Weekly", but it is a very good source of information on what was/is/will be on all of the important and entertaining news that you could want. If that's what you are looking for, then this is the magazine for you.
