### 1/5 — Disappointing Update

*2026-07-22*

The new app removed the ability to make single issue purchases and I was unable to restore any purchased issues prior to 2023. 
I would still purchase single issues but will never pay $50 for a subscription. Seems like a poor move on the part of the new publisher.

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2026-01-23*

Impossible to read my old mags. The app doesnt restore my old mags…

### 1/5 — Grounded

*2025-12-07, version 108.0.3*

FIX THIS Damned APP. It has NOT worked on either IPAD nor iPHONE since iOS 18.6 or iOS 26.0 .

### 1/5 — New App needs work

*2025-10-09*

My subscription is with Flying magazine thru 2027.  New app version wants be to subscribe or buy the current issue.  Logging in gets be issues from 2022 and 2023, nothing this year.  I wish I could go back to prior version. That recognized my account.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2025-01-16*

Been a Flying subscriber since the 80s. This digital app could be much better. The biggest annoyance is the 2+ weeks delay from notice of new issue to availability on this app. Why such a long wait in digital times!?

### 1/5 — Why bother mags don’t show up for weeks after release

*2025-01-14*

Just download the pdf from the website. This app doesn’t show the availability of new editions for weeks if at all. Tried reinstalling several times to little success and no response from support. A fine mag shot down by a stupid app.

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-12-02*

I wish they would allow the readers to purchase hard copies of the back issues they have missed, if they allow the reader to purchase hard copies of back issues they don’t make it easy too!

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2024-05-21*

Worthless app. No way to read offline (for those times when you would really like to read a magazine because the Wi-Fi is down on your 14-hour transpacific flight). There is also no way to restore a purchase once the app has decided that you’re no longer allowed to access your paid subscription. 

Removed app and canceled subscription.

### 1/5 — Are they still publishing???

*2024-02-13*

Last issue I got was December 2023. Jan and Feb 2024 so far are no shows despite an active subscription. I am a very loyal reader since 1994 but now considering to give up on then.

### 1/5 — New owner has ruined a once great publication

*2023-10-31*

Long time subscriber. Enjoyed the hard copy version the most. The latest owner has reduced content and raised prices. I still decided to stay. 

I subscribed to the email version back in June 2023. I received one email link to one edition. That’s it. So I called in October and a recording stated to call back because the phone system was being updated. 

I emailed requesting a refund. No response. Summation of new owner: raise prices, cut content and ignore your subscribers when they contact you. 

I’m done. The end of a once great publication.
