## Description

If you’re addicted to guitar and bass, there’s no better app than Premier Guitar. 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. Even better, every one of our reviews features sound samples and/or video demos (with wi-fi connection) to give you an even clearer idea of the gear’s capabilities. 

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.   

The PG app offers access to new Premier Guitar issues for a minimal fee ($3.99 each or $11.99 for an annual subscription) 

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.

## Review summary

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.
