### 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.

### 5/5 — Flypast

*2013-06-16*

Always informative, always interesting.

### 5/5 — Beautiful! Is the best publication about history and conservation of airplanes you can get!

*2013-06-15*

I've been purchasing the paper version of this magazine for years and now that I can read it in my iPad I can do that in my lunch time or in my coffee breaks. It's very convenient!

### 5/5 — Great

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-03-08*

Great magazine digitally.

### 5/5 — Fly Past Impression

*2013-03-04*

A wonderful magazin, Great stories and very good pictures....

### 5/5 — Works Well Now

*2012-11-01*

I did have a slight issue at the beginning but I've now learnt that if you just hold down the splash screen for a few seconds it refreshes the page and everything works brilliantly now.

### 2/5 — New update crash!

*2012-04-30*

Ive been buying this magazine on and off since i was about 12 some 15 years now and it's still fantastic to read. When i saw the new app i thought it was a great idea! I bought it but it wasnt very iphone friendly. The page swipe was delayed and i found it a bit of a pain in other areas which was disapointing to be honest. The new update came out which claimed to fix all that but now ive updated it the app just crashes and i cant access it at all!! Please find a fix to this problem fly past! Or it'll be a waste of your time and money, including a lot of angty fans!

### 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.

### 1/5 — Mr

*2013-01-13*

Very poor. Does not work, I cannot access any of my purchased copies.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2013-01-08*

Has potential to be a great app but continually crashes. Pages don't load.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2013-01-05*

Crashes from splash screen - poor. Have to give one star but should be none.

### 1/5 — Technical problem

*2013-01-02*

This application doesn ´t work...

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2012-12-27*

Hours and hours to download an issue, constant crashes, repetitive requests for App Store password, continual requests to delete cache to solve problems with opening the app....after deleting the app multiple times an reinstalling I still cannot open it.

This is an expensive subscription ...so one would expect it to be of better quality ...looking forward to having it fixed once and for all...maybe the development team should be deleted and reinstalled as the first step in a permanent fix.

### 1/5 — Flypast App Crashing

*2012-05-05*

Continually crashing and cannot access my purchased editions. Great app for reading the magazine but needs to be sorted ASAP!

### 1/5 — Failed upgrade

*2012-05-04*

As per the previous comment: this app appears to have died following the upgrade! You cannot get past the splash page so access to all previously purchased content is lost. This needs major repair ASAP,

### 1/5 — Would be nice but

*2011-05-12*

I was really looking forward to reading my favourite magazine on my iPad...... However it just crashes. Hoping you have a fix soon.

### 2/5 — Nice but could be better

*2013-01-19*

Love flypast magazine and have bought many of them over the years. Have always been tempted to subscribe. Have looked at the trial iPad sample and whilst it looks nice it looks like a scan in job. Also need to review the subscription charges as its cheaper to subscribe to the real thing.

### 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 .

### 5/5 — Boa revista

*2013-06-25*

Muito boa revista. Matérias interessantes, excelente lay out.

### 5/5 — The Beat aviation/warbirds periodical by far

*2013-06-24*

I cannot believe that I found this I the Apple Store.  I always have to check Barnes and Noble to see if they have it. Now, I can preview and download it for half the price.  Great photographs and articles.
