Some articles do not display well , or display well on 1080p. While reading articles, often times I will see the last few lines of text display off screen with no function to scroll down. This problem almost seems like the advertisement at the top is to large, and bumping the text down, and the application has no function to trigger the scrolling. Maybe the devs use larger displays and do not see this issue while testing.
The content is good, and just another way to read tom's.

Works great for live tile updates, however when I use the app it shuts down after 10 seconds.

I like the site and I go to almost everyday if not every other day. Although I took points for when you go through the review section the pictures hardly ever show. Other that the app is functional except for the pictures not showing.

Still seeing a gap between the top bar and the article title which tends to cut off at the bottom text on lower res screens.
22 March 2014
Poor advertisement placement causes articles and news to get pushed down, effectively cutting off the last paragraph. STILL NOT FIXED!!! WORST PLACEMENT EVAR !! Would give a -0.05 star of I could... MOVE ad bar to bottom or adjust app to account for bar.

This app is broken and is not worth the time. The articles display okay most of the time but all of the reviews do not, you can't scroll down to see the whole article so I end up having to switch to the web page.
22 December 2013
While the content is the same great stuff found online, this app needs a lot of work. It seems as if this app was never tested by the authors and I'm surprised it was accepted by the store. The text for each article typically gets cut off on the edges of the screen, so you can't even fully read most articles. Tons of articles will just display "sorry this article is no longer available". Why even display the title then? There are also bugs where it crashes if you tap on a photo and many photos don't even show up properly. The app has all the trademarks of someone who hasn't ever built a real piece of software before...

I like the content of the app, but almost everything is cut-off. I gave it a 5 star initially, but the fact that I cannot get to the bottom of the articles really sucks. Microsoft, get control of the quality of your apps!

It would be nice if there was a way to increase font size. For most people the fonts may be great, but what about your older readers.
22 November 2013
Nice and clean. Straight to the point.

I've lowered the rating another star. They STILL have not fixed the issue with the text at the bottom being cut off. Also, time and time again, you click on a story and there is nothing displayed - sometimes you get a message about the story being removed. If it's been removed, then remove the tile from the main screen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right now, I can only give this an average rating. I like that everything is there for you to browse, but once you get into a story and reach the bottom of the screen..... wait... what happened? Where is the rest of the story?
Nowhere to be found. This happened time and time again, and is just downright annoying!
If they fix the interface to display the WHOLE story and provide a little more information in some stories, this would be a first rate app, and an enthusiasts dream app.

Best graphics cards for the money section doesn't show all pictures

I enjoy Tom's news, but this app is too buggy. Immediate improvements must include:
- change the font - it is too difficult to read for long periods
- add zooming ability to page content. It shouldn't be approved for metro without this mandated UI capability
- enable copying. Countless times I've blown off a product because I couldn't copy a model number or some other piece of info for further research.

Tom's Hardware is like the NY Times for Nerds lol. If you're into popculture "geek" then you might be a fan of poptech blogging sites such as TechCrunch, Engaget, technobuffulo, revision3 etc .
then Tom's hardware isn't for you.
23 October 2013
Most articles are chopped off on the bottom.
I like Tom's Hardware, have for years, but I'm quite disappointed in the execution of this app.

Great content, but stinks that I need to reinstall occasionally to get the reviews to update on the app
11 September 2013
thank for adding the much requested advertisements in your application. No windows 8 app should be without the bing advertisement. This is exactly what the users requested and exactly what we needed: advertisements. Congrats for this wonderful app, you really ruined it!

Clean and simple.

Very frustrating, not being able to read bottoms of pages. Hope they fix it.
19 August 2013
because of the ads on the screen I can't scroll down far enough on the screen - had to uninstall the app and go back the webpage
12 August 2013
Read Tom's page since day one; now its a tile. Fantastic! One stop shop for ALL tech news.
3 August 2013
Trying to read the information, but it's always cut off on the bottom of my screen so I can't finish each page (and it's not my monitor settings...)
29 July 2013
Plenty of article headlines where the article is missing.
28 July 2013
Does not refresh automatically every time, and the ads take away from the content displayed.
18 July 2013
This is a nicely reformatted version of the Tom's Hardware web site. The layout is nice, and it is much more pleasant to read than in the web browser.
The bug that caused the program to close repeatedly when you mouse over a graphic is fixed, at least on my Yoga 13 computer. At last!

Good alternative to browsing web..... if it ever works. Keeps crashing, crashing, crashing, crashing..... USELESS APP
