Digital versions of Imagine Publishing’s magazines are among the most popular paid for books on the Apple App store less than three weeks after launch.

Powered by PixelMags, the games™ and Retro Gamer apps enable iPhone and iPad users to read the latest issue of each magazine free in its entirety, as well as purchase back issues or subscribe within the App using their iTunes accounts.

The digital editions are stored on the device, enabling users to read, zoom, scan, bookmark and browse through each issue. The digital version of the prestigious UK gaming magazine games™ ranked 7th in the App store’s Book section making it the most popular videogame publication on iTunes, while Retro Gamer, which focuses on classic games ranked 22.
 
games™ Editor in chief Rick Porter commented: “The popularity of the App is excellent news. It offers a great opportunity for those outside the UK to sample a magazine that we are very proud of and put a lot of hard work into – and the upcoming iPad will make the Apps even more relevant.”
