Pilot blood
Keep up the good work AOPA. I love aviation and I love your organization and look forward to a new magazine each month and AOPA Live each week. I wish there was a 24/7 aviation tv channel online.
Works Perfectly!
No issues whatsoever.
Needs to be updated for iPad Pro display
The app is fine, I can read the magazine and the performance is good. The main problem is that the UI is scaled up from the 9.7” iPad size. This doesn’t look good on the 10.5” iPad Pro.
Missed the mark
I wanna like it, but so many things are wrong:
- format is literally the print layouts. Not tuned for digital delivery at all.
- reloads every time I go background to foreground
- it's slow.
- It's nearly useless on a phone sized screen.

Love this magazine
And being digital makes it even better.
Terrible app--not updated in over a year!
This is the worst magazine app I have. It is constantly "loading catalog" multiple times. It times out downloading frequently. If you try and delete archives a couple of times, the app will always crash (even with the latest IOS). No ability to bookmark or tag articles. It's a very basic reading app at best. Bottom line--terribly slow to load catalogs or any issue. So like other reviews, if you've got lots of free time to wait, it sort of works. But so buggy and NO SUPPORT!

Works, but not quickly or intelligently
If you have patience, a fast network connection, a fast device, and not much ambition, this app may meet your expectations. Otherwise, not so much.
The start-up Catalog and Issues page can take a few minutes to load, even on a 250Mb/s network connection, and you can't do anything while it's loading, even if you're only interested in looking at one magazine. If you're on a mobile network with a data cap, watch out - it'll burn a lot of megabytes loading stuff.
If you have a slower device, you'll always see a blurry, unreadable version of every page which will eventually clear up after significant delay. Even on fast devices, it's 'blur first', just more quickly replaced by a crisper version - which gets fuzzy again if you zoom in on it (and won't clear up then.)
Although the app is all about looking at text and pictures, they cannot be selected - no text or image copy is possible, so forget about sending that interesting paragraph or photo in email to your friends.
To keep life interesting, the app will occasionally crash or refuse to run when iOS gets updated, or sometimes randomly when it isn't.
In short - this is not a web browser, a PDF previewer, or anything like that - it's a slow, poorly-implemented picture gallery view of the magazines.
Yes, it's an improvement over dead trees...

Great app
I like being able to go to a page or department that I like. Have not had any trouble with it at all but I am using it as a reading issue app only. Sure is better than trying to sort through paper mags that pile up.
Good
Works OK but a little clunky at times.
Too large
App works great and it's very convenient to read the issues on my IPad instead of my p-c but this app is a space hog! Almost 1gb and it's the largest app by far that I have. Trim it down people!
