Terrible

Who ever signed off on this update need sacking, this is terrible beyond words. Please please sort it out

Couldn’t access my magazines

This app is terrible. I couldn’t access my magazine that I paid. Please, fix it or my money back.

Absolute crap!

I give it 1 star only because I don’t have the option to give it 0 stars.

The app crashes IMMEDIATELY.

Scrolling through the archive is reminiscent of surfing the web on a dial up modem in the nineties.

If you forget your user name or password you are SCREWED. There are NO options to recover these from the app.

If you already have a subscription like me (which I will DEFINITELY CANCEL) then I offer you my sincere condolences. If not; stay away. This app is complete garbage.

If you work for Model Railroader; tell whoever decided to go ahead with the October update that they are an idiot.

Model railroader, if you are attempting to reach out to a younger crowd with this digital platform then you are failing miserably.

In summary: TOTAL CRAP.

Needs a Lot of Work!

The latest version of this app is a step backwards. While I have been able to restore and view my purchases, I have not been able to purchase a single issue since the update. When I attempt to purchase a single issue, I am often only given options to subscribe, or frequently no options at all. There are no features to view/filter on your purchases or downloads. Scrolling thru the list of available issues is buggy and slow. On top of all this, my requests to customer support have never been answered. I’m using a 32GB iPad (7th gen) with IOS 13.1.1

Not Happy
Missing all my back issues
Can’t login
Really unhappy

Not Useful

This application only seems to support selling subscriptions via iTunes. I can’t use it to log in to my account and view issues.

Really, really bad

This version is much worse than the previous. It’s so bad that this is the first review I have ever submitted for any iPhone app...and I have used some pretty bad apps. I currently use an IPhone 8 Plus...the app crashes back to a main screen while trying to load. If it does load, it doesn’t load all of the past issue covers and when I click to download or read an issue, it freezes. It’s enough to just not bother with Model Railroader mag any more.

You’ve taken all my previously paid for issues

The last app was cumbersome not having a “search “ for the archives,! However this is even worse. Issues paid for have been taken. I ve been a subscriber for years. I won’t be back after being treated like this. Great solution to hear your customers, your app won’t post my review. Hopeless

Avoid like the plague!

A terminally slow app, badly designed and to cap it all my purchased issues are no longer available to read.

How can something this bad actually pass testing?
