### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with Key.Aero subscription

*2023-01-28*

Sadly this doesn’t work.  You select the option of providing login from provider and you get a success message. Aaaannnd then the App crashes. 

There doesn’t appear to be a way to fix this.

### 5/5 — Fantastic magazine

*2021-03-22*

One of the best, if not the best aviation magazine out there.

### 2/5 — Forgets subscription

*2019-03-13*

Suddenly says that I need to pay AGAIN to subscribe when I already have a paid subscription.  Restore Purchases link does not work.

### 5/5 — Thomas

*2015-05-15*

Excellent publication. Highly recommended.
Exemplary journalism

### 5/5 — Excellent way to read magazine!

*2014-11-22*

I enjoy reading the magazine and wondered whether it would be as accessible on a iPad. Well it is even better. Each issue downloads quickly. I can have access to all my old editions and flit between them. The quality of the pages is excellent and you can pinch them out for easier reading. It's great to be able to have all my favourite aeroplane magazines with me any time I get a chance to read. I can thoroughly recommend the app and of course the periodical.

### 5/5 — Awesome magazine

*2014-08-23*

Just buy this ,Awesomeness is aeroplane monthly

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2014-08-22*

I had reservations before downloading this app, due to some reported issues around crashes and downloading of magazines, however I took the plunge and was pleasantly surprised.
The app is easy to use and I have had no crashes at all and the downloads have been flawless.

### 1/5 — Rubbish App. Don't bother.

*2014-04-13*

Zero rating really. The ap downloads okay, but the issues take months to fuly download. Poor page settings on magazine. It is just a smaller version of the magazine so photgraphs over two pages are useless to the viewer.
I won't be buying another e-edition. Stick with the real magazine, not the e-edition.

### 4/5 — App now pretty good

*2013-11-22*

After a pretty rough patch of not working properly, this latest upgrade seems to be sorted. Magazine definitely seems stable and downloads bordering on quick. Still no sign of the promised unique electronic only content, but at least you now get a useable electronic version of the paper magazine.

### 5/5 — Aeroplane Magazine

*2013-10-28*

This is the best aviation publication on the market.
