Does not work!!!!!
Like the earlier review I travel internationally and would love to be able to read AOPA magazines. I can't get the app to open most of the time or it crashes if I can open it. Please fix this. This app has never worked really well.
Worthless
To whomever is in charge: fix this app. It used to work like a champ. Since the last update, I can't even open it. Fix this problem even if it means that you revert to the previous version. An app that can't be opened is completely worthless.
I frequently travel out of the country, and this is the only way that I can receive the magazines for which I am paying. But now, because of your latest update, I can't.

Excellent update!
It is a much needed improvement. It's amazing how something as simple as bookmarking your place automatically can be such a great change.
I gave four stars because it takes a long time to load the app as it cycles between loading the catalog and loading book a few times. This is a minor thing.

Non functional
Since last update I can not connect to catalog. Receiving message to connect to Internet, when I am connected. App has never been stable, I stopped using over a year ago due to bugs still unusable.
Not up to AOPA quality
Just images from print edition instead of formatted for e-reader. Font is small, zoom in to increase font but then must scroll around to read the multi-column layout. Should use single column layout or reformat page like other better readers do. Tried Text view. Awful. Can't select it on most pages. If I manage to get into it, it's plain plain plain. Many pages say "no text content for this page". Essentially useless. AOPA, you can do better.
iPad Mini with latest version of app.
For now I will stay with print but will keep trying updated versions.

Good very good
I would really download this game
Recent update doesn't work
Since downloading the most recent update, I haven't been able to use this app at all. Seems to be the only app on my iPad that's misbehaving, so I'm sure it's the app, not my iPad that is screwed. If this keeps up, i'll have to go back to a paper copy!
Good idea. Bad execution.
This app is way too complex. And it is a difficult one to log in to and not connected to my AOPA login I'd. AOPA should go back to the drawing board on this. Just like its AOPA online flight planner, for which version 2 has never worked properly, AOPA needs a fresh approach to application development.

Slow and buggy
Upon finding that the magazine was available electronically, I downloaded the app, switched my subscription over from paper and attempted to download the latest magazine. To download the magazine itself, you have to register at a third party website (nxtbookmedia). Once there, you get a number and password. However, to download the magazine, it asks for an email address and password. Enter the nxtbookmedia number and password on that dialog. The download took a long long time and crashed once. Once that had successfully downloaded, I tried to read the magazine. It crashed again. I gave up.
Afterwards, the iPad that I am using had a software glitch and a restore was required. During the restore, the apoa app was reinstalled along with the magazine file but when I attempted to open the file, the app said that the catalog was in available.
I have remove the app and will switch back to paper.
One has to wonder why apoa had to write their own app when iBooks is available. Why not just provide the magazine in iBooks format? Then, at least the platform would be stable.
