Renowned as the world’s most unbiased and diverse source of in-depth gear news and reviews, PG delivers insights on a wide range of instruments, effects, and amps—from entry-level to high-end.

But the PG app has loads more than that. Each issue is packed with enlightening interviews with the most compelling players on the scene today—from rising indie icons to metal shredders, jazz heads, country twangers, avant weirdoes, singer-songwriters, and more. We also have a stacked lineup of industry experts sharing their know-how on everything from DIY gear projects to stompbox geekery, recording, performing, vintage instruments, optimizing your gear, and more.

In addition, you'll also receive real-time updates on breaking news stories and PG’s latest videos—including Rig Rundowns, gear demos, reviews, how-tos, and more. And it’s all in one app.

User Reviews

Users praise the magazine’s content but are overwhelmed by the app’s failures. The top recurring issues are crashes, login/subscription problems, and download/reading failures, often with slow performance or errors preventing access to bought issues. UI/reading is clunky—tiny text, no easy navigation, no clear index, frequent ad banners, and issues staying accessible offline. Support is inconsistent. Overall, the core publication is valued, but the iPad app is widely regarded as unreliable and unusable for many subscribers, undermining the magazine experience.

Pros

High-quality magazine content with strong articles.
Readers value the magazine and continue subscribing/renewing for its content.
Subscribers appreciate having digital access to the magazine as a convenient alternative to print.

Cons

App crashes and stability issues.
Login/subscription problems; users cannot sign in or access purchased content.
Downloading issues is slow or fails, and offline access is unreliable.
Poor navigation and readability: tiny page text, no clear article index, and cumbersome layout.
Intrusive ads and banners reduce reading space and distract from content.

Recent reviews

This has always been a terrible app. It crashes a lot, can’t decide if you are looking at single page or 2 page spread, forgets what you have bought, on and on. Other than the articles, I can’t think of anything about this app that works right. I tried to renew (definition of insanity) and the “subscribe “ button only takes me to terms and conditions.

I subscribed to the print and digital magazine together. This app never works. It always wants you to purchase everything, even after I have logged in using the password and username sent directly to me from PG. I will be canceling my subscriptions

Note do not use your subscription login password to login to the app. Check your subscription and a different password is listed for the app. Ludicrous that this is the case but there you go! In general my biggest problem with the app is the glacial download time if it actually works…
