What's New in AOPA Mags

4.11.9

Not suitable format for iPad

Just page images from print magazine. Two- and three-column text layout means small font, difficult to read without zooming, then you need to scroll all over to read the article, then unzoom to change to the next page. Repeat. Annoying every time.

Photos are sometimes spread across pages so you can't see the whole photo, or the captions aren't on the same page.

Online magazines should be reformatted for single-column reading with adjustable font size that alters layout as size changes. Each article gets its own page.

Useless 85% of the time

This app worked great at the beginning. Now I download so I can read offline while traveling. And every time it stalls out. Even while at home and you click on a link and return to the app it crashes. Been very frustrated with this app the last few years!

Never works first time

Every time I enter this app, it spins. I have to kill the app and restart it. Every single time. It NEVER knows where I stopped reading. NEVER. It seems reasonable that it should know where I left off and work when I return to it.

Amazingly, however, it does provide the content. How AOPA can continue to allow this grossly substandard app is beyond me.

Can’t zoom in anywhere but the center of each page

Good luck if you want to read this on your phone. You can zoom in, but only on the middle of the page. No scrolling or moving it around to read the writing on the sides of the page.

Good, not quite great

To be better, when I return to the app after an absence, it would be on the page I was reading when I left. To be great, no matter which issue I visit, it would start on the page I left off at. Like a dog ear. Only no crease. And zooming is sometimes wonky too … but a good app.

Well, that text was written a couple years back. It’s not better, it’s worse now. If I leave the app and come back after an hour or more, it spins. I have to kill the app and restart it, and once again it doesn’t know where I am. Why the heck is it getting worse?
