### 1/5 — Does not seem to work on iOS 18 iPad Pro

*2024-11-01*

App launches and then quits straight away, no updates to install etc so I am guessing this is just broken now!

### 1/5 — Poor user interface

*2023-08-24*

The magazine layout does not suit the app at all well, you are forever scrolling and zooming. Leave it for too long whilst in another app and it totally forgets where you were and sends you back to the home page. This is very annoying when you were viewing a back issue, as you then have another scrolling session to find the correct issue, before trying to locate the article you were reading. 

The electronic issue seems to be an afterthought to the printed magazine. I’ve experienced much better elsewhere than this lame attempt.

### 5/5 — Great Magazine tolook forward too

*2020-08-08*

Each month gets better as an on line magazine it’s the best . 
The video content is miles ahead of any other magazine and so much better to see the practical demonstrations and layouts in full video rather than still photos .I am a fan brilliant

### 5/5 — Good app

*2020-07-31*

This is a good app. I am an American fan of British mode railroads and this app is a great way to subscribe and receive this magazine without spending far too much at the newsstand for a magazine that by the time it gets to the states is at least a month old.

### 5/5 — BRM Digital issue

*2020-02-25*

Love the paper issues but thought I’d give the digital issue a try. Enjoyed it and found the bookazines very interesting too.

### 5/5 — Mrs D

*2020-02-25*

Great magazine. Great value for money and great content.

### 5/5 — Informative and entertaining

*2020-01-05*

Great magazine and enjoy the videos each month. Good layouts, great articles and inspiring layouts. Would recommend.

### 5/5 — Great read

*2019-03-17*

I use a 7+ and viewing is good. Videos are OK and informal but don’t always go into the workings of the model railways shown. The demos are good though

### 3/5 — iPad version

*2019-03-14*

When I first subscribed the videos were great. That is not the case now as my iPad will not play tube videos as before. Have to ‘tweak’ screen with fingers to get a viewable size.
Content is excellent but now considering going back to print copy as downloaded copy is now beginning to be annoying.
Have reported this but nothing done to resolve problem.
Shame as a good read each month.

### 5/5 — Great magazine

*2018-01-26*

Great content but crashes too often
