### 3/5 — Function on iPad?

*2025-02-19*

I like this app where it works. However, I’m failing in my attempts to log into my account from my iPad mini while I’m using it without issue on my iPhone. I would rate this app higher if I could use it on my device with higher resolution. The magazine’s photography alone would be more than worth it.

### 4/5 — Excellent monthly

*2023-02-16, version 7.0.47*

Excellent monthly insight.  Given what’s going on, I’d suggest a weekly or bi-weekly edition.  Otherwise you provide nothing special over sites like Thewarzone.com or the Avionist, among others. 

Errors? Yeah. Photos with obvious incorrect captions, latest was “KC-46 taking off from Everret,WA. “.  Certainly anyone in aerospace knows that was Boeing Field (b/t Seattle and Sea-Tac).  It was Seattle skyline in background!  And I live in Pittsburgh! 

Sloppy and elitist would be my complaint.

Otherwise good else I’d cancel.

### 5/5 — Best military aviation magazine!

*2021-03-05*

I have been a long time fan of Combat Aircraft, it’s been the best military aviation magazine for many years and the online magazine has made it easier and better to keep up with the latest issues. They also have special editions for particular aircraft such as the B-52 and most recently the C-130. Keep up the great work. Also Tomcats and Targets!

### 4/5 — Combat Aircraft Magazine

*2019-06-09*

This magazine should be required reading for both civilian & military. One might win the battle but loose the peace. True victory is achieved when you win by outlasting your opponent, victory by attrition.  Combat Aircraft gives the reader information about the aircraft, capability, cost of operation. In addition, the reader learns about the air forces around the world & how by working together, the cost of defense is manageable.  This App is true to the magazine & is the future of publication.

### 5/5 — Great

### 5/5 — Combat Aircraft Magazine

*2014-01-17*

Excellent magazine, have been reading them since 2005 and have not found a more concise periodical about world AF systems, exercises, and history.

### 5/5 — Combat aircraft
