### 5/5 — Pete

*2013-05-28*

Great to have the latest issue before it hits the shops!

### 5/5 — For the enthusiast.

*2013-05-27*

A great publication, no matter what the medium.

### 5/5 — Aeroplane monthly

*2013-05-18*

It's brilliant

### 5/5 — Great magazine

*2013-05-18*

Easy to access and excellent content.

### 5/5 — Joint best Aviation mag!

*2013-05-16*

I love this publication. Excellent articles all around. Only equalled by Fly Past. I buy BOTH!

### 5/5 — The best aviation magazine

*2013-05-08*

I have been involved in aviation for 40 + years, firstly as an aircraft engineer progressing to a heavy jet pilot.
Aeroplane magazine has well written articles of aircraft that have been built for war and civil use. 
Also the biographies of pilots and ground personal are interesting.
The magazine has the right balance of advertising and content.

### 5/5 — KhM

Great APP for a great magazine. Forty four years of flying big jets and fifty eight years of air travel worldwide but one who always yearns for the good old days of aviation.

### 5/5 — Crashes

*2012-12-30*

Rubbish app. Takes an age to download an issue, then when you finally open it, it crashes after at most 5 minutes and won't open again. Tried reinstalling the app but to no avail. 

Do not install unless you want to pay for a magazine you can't read.

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Erratic Download

*2012-10-31*

Takes for ever to download and when it has, pages go black and can't be viewed.  Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Very slow

*2012-10-30*

I'm new to this e magazine option but this took over two hours to download and it still hasn't finished. It seems to be stuck on "updating info". I think I'll stick to the hard copy......not impressed.

### 1/5 — Black homepage

*2012-06-22*

Great magazine. Shame about the homepage displaying black screen of nothing. The latest issue thumbnails are missing. Issue download speed on fast connection is excruciating. It is still quicker to go to the corner news agent!

### 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.

### 3/5 — Update please

*2012-08-24*

Needs update for retina iPads

### 3/5 — Seems buggy and crashes constantly.

*2011-12-24*

As stated above. Please correct it.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Rob Midgley

*2013-05-09*

Previous bugs with freezing and crashing now totally gone. Great, clear rendering. Only improvement would now be to include functionality such as video access to more images, or web links rather than simply a copy of the mag. 
Fantastic magazine though: well written, accurate and informative. Best of its genre.

### 5/5 — Fantastic magazine

*2021-03-22*

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

### 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.

### 5/5 — Aeroplane Magazine

*2013-10-28*

This is the best aviation publication on the market.

### 5/5 — What's not to like?

*2013-08-29*

Does what it says on the tin!

### 5/5 — The Best Aviation Magazine for the History Buff

*2013-08-07*

In forty years or so of reading I cannot say that I ever did not enjoy this magazine.

### 5/5 — Aeroplane monthly review

*2013-06-27*

Great app for those who appreciate 'classic' aeroplanes and history of some great manufacturers and skilled pilots. This is the way all mags should be viewed. 
It would be even better  if they made the e version of this magazine to include more great photos!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2013-05-30*

Love this magazine. I wait every month for the newest edition. Great articles and fantastic news section.
