How to install PCWorld Digital Magazine (US) APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download PCWorld Digital Magazine (US) APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.pcworld.us.digitalmagazine-v27.3.8-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

2 ★It won't let me read the issues I've paid for. It won't let me view past issues I've paid for and read. How do I get a refund? I updated to 2 stars. After reading other reviews, I deleted the cache, found my acct number, and was finally able to get my issues. Shouldn't have to go through so much after an update. PC World never responded to my contact about my problems. Customer service? Lack of!
2 ★After a few contorsions where I had to sign out and sign back in in order to convert an issue, the "issues" section shows what's available to download. I can download but haven't found out how to delete the issues I read. Samsung Note 10.1 2014.
2 ★Worked fine till marshmello upgrade. Now it downloads 90% of magazine and get mib decompression failed. The app worked with 5.1.1 but not 6.0. Another said he had issues with a game magazine and pcworld digital magazine with 6.0 He contacted the game magazine and they fixed the app to work with 6.0. He contacted pcworld and has heard nothing. It also works fine with my iPad mini. Just the nexus seven (2) I'm having problems
1 ★There is something terribly wrong with this PC World app! I can download the September issue and it goes from article to article but greyed out and no scrolling available. I can only read the opening of any article and it looks horrible on my HD screen. I'm in huge agreement with those wanting to give this a negative rating! What happened? I used to could enjoy the magazine.. n I want my print copy back. Fix it ASAP or I want a refund for a year's worth of subscription. I deleted the app, restarted the tablet and re-downloaded the app from the Google store and still can't get my magazine to show up and be able to read it. Your count down has begun! Not such Warm Regards, Gwen Beck
2 ★PC World, you need to immediately fix this app so that we can access our account. Last issue I was able to access/download was August. If the intent is not to shut down PCW, you're nevertheless driving away loyal subscribers.
1 ★Nexus 7 with Marshmallow 6.01 same old same old. What a waste; total piece of crap. Cleared cache, uninstall/reinstall too many times to count. Results always the same. Developers should be ashamed of themselves.
1 ★Upgraded to 6.1 and now can't download the issues I've PAID for. Absolutely no support from PCWorld - just gave me a 3rd party email address to send a help request to - just like PCWorld they never responded.
1 ★ZERO STARS!! I'd give it a negative number if I could. It is IMPOSSIBLE for any intelligent person to remove an old issue download if you are running short of device memory. IF there is a way to remove extra issues from the app, it is so cryptic, esoteric and concealed that only a very clever and skilled reverse software engineer can discover it. I have searched the net from over 3 hours and only found archiving instructions for the much older app. EDIT 7/24/2015 I have FINALLY found a way to delete old issues. There is a very tiny, near-invisible button on the issues page located just below and left of the current issue icon. I needed a magnifying glass to see the faint one-pixel wide outline of the button; the color contrast against the background made it very hard to locate on a tablet. If you tap the button, it takes you to a page that displays all the issues on the device. Tap each issue you want to remove to select it (you can select more than one) then tap the trashcan icon on the upper right of the page then confirm. The issues page should show the deleted issues with a download button under them instead of read now.
1 ★[See update] Library disappeared, says I need to sign in to convert to new format, but I AM in! Only option is to buy it...AGAIN! I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, and now I am no longer signed in and did not write down my account number from the long-dead paper mailing lable, so am SOL on that count. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, PCWorld? [Update]: Got my account number by logging on to pcworld website and logging in with my email address and zip code. Reinstalled the app, then signed in. Same problems as before, but at the bottom of My Account page on tablet was a bar that said "Update." Tapping that seemed to do nothing as it then sent me back to the preview and purchase page. But then going to library showed each edition with both a purchase and a download option. Dowmload worked. But I am not changing my rating because of how screwed up and unfriendly this app is.
1 ★Horrible Update. Back-issues gone. Can't get new issue, and doesn't work even after sign in. Totally unusable.
1 ★Can't logon without account number that was on the printed version address label. I no longer have a print version to reference. App doesn't seem to have a way to get help. Now what?
1 ★Forgot my login information when updated and now I need a number from my last print issue from at least a year ago to log in. What a stupid update.
