### 1/5 — Disastrous

*2017-10-08*

Following the latest iPad IOS update, this app doesn’t work. It freezes on a display page, repeatedly. Restarted the iPad several times and it was okay for a few pages, then froze again. Deleted and reinstalled the app, on advice from Pocketmags support. Again, okay for a while, then the same thing again. Given up and cancelled the sub.

### 5/5 — Flypast without the clutter!

*2016-02-08*

I've always liked the magazine and now I can enjoy instant access to my subscription anywhere without the clutter of hard copies, the risk of loss or being borrowed! Excellent product and great app 😀.

### 5/5 — Best warbird magazine in the world

*2015-12-14*

Coverage is worldwide and covers all aspects of warbird history for WWI through Cold War.

The online version now beginning to offer extra content.

Very current news.

Click through valuable. 

Not for the later 20th century birds.

### 5/5 — FlyPast

*2015-02-22*

Great!!!
Fantastic publication!

### 5/5 — Great magazine.

*2014-11-29*

Just as good as the printed version, great read and a great buy.

### 5/5 — As good digitally as in print.

*2014-09-16*

Have been a loyal reader in print for more than 20 years. FlyPast has made the jump to the digital age without missing a beat.

### 5/5 — Airphan

*2014-07-08*

Excellent magazine for anyone interested in aircraft and history. The photography is exceptional and the electronic version allows you to zoom in and see even more detail. The spotlights on particular aircraft each month are a feature you cant find in another publication that are interesting and enjoyable. I have one suggestion; it would be great if additional photos from photo shoots were included in the electronic version of the magazine. They could be placed after the last page

### 5/5 — Flying for 40 years

*2013-10-29*

I have been getting this magazine for years and consider it second to none. I can see that some people want it for nothing, but the world doesn't work that way. I now get it on line at half the previous cost and find that a tremendous bargain, keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Awesome Emag

*2013-10-13*

Awesome magazine even better as an Emag .

### 4/5 — Great original content but nothing additional on ipad.

*2013-07-09*

If you like classic military aviation then this is, IMO, the best publication available but don't expect anything other than a scanned in version of the magazine with hyperlinks.
