## What is Inflight Reader?

Now read both BOOKS and MAGAZINES on your iPad or your iPhone!
Uber now easily accessible for your convenience!

PLAN AHEAD - Download beforehand at home, avoid slow airport wi-fi, when you get to the airport the books and magazines you downloaded are unlocked and ready for you to enjoy.

The Inflight Reader app is the best way to get the books and magazines you want when you travel - all for free during your Inflight Reader sessions.  When you are at an airport, you can activate a free 24-hour inflight reader session by signing in to your account and your free 24-hour Inflight Reader session begins with your first download at the airport or, even better, download the books and magazines that you want to read ahead of time at home and simply unlock them for reading when you get to the airport.  So start, or end, your trips right by getting the Inflight Reader app and read the best books and magazines for free.  CHECK BACK often because we are actively adding more titles for you to enjoy!  In-app purchase is available for unlimited reading of issues that you buy and you may purchase the iBook of titles to own and read any time.  Travel well!

Please note that activation of Inflight Reader sessions requires you to be at an airport location so the app periodically checks your location in the background - continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.  We background check location only intermittently to avoid undue battery drain.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2019-02-17, version 4.1*

You can’t even sign up because it says that the app is in development mode. Do not recommend it

### 5/5 — Fantastic app that makes flying better

*2018-04-06, version 4.1*

The real question is, do you want to pay $9 for a magazine at the airport and then have to haul it around with you for the rest of your trip? No! With this app, you get amazing free magazines to download for free and read on the plane. I love this app and will use it when I fly!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-11-18, version 4.0*

Useless

### 1/5 — Good idea, bad app

*2016-09-30*

Great idea for an App, it is mildly frustrating to carry a bunch of periodicals on a plane - but more frustrating is an app that won't verify your login!  I tried Facebook and 3 different logins.  The link sent to each of my emails was broken each time.  Waste of 30 minutes before my flight!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2015-12-11, version 3.1.1*

TWO THUMBS UP

### 1/5 — Cannot sign on

*2015-07-16*

Both my husband and I have tried numerous times to use this but it keeps saying it is sending our verification to our emails but it never does. Without it we cannot sign in to the app. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Super frustrated

*2015-06-28*

Can log onto the website. But not on my iPad, which makes this a complete waste of effort. Tried creating a new account and that didn't work either. Very disappointing.

### 5/5 — Awesome App !!!!!

*2015-06-12*

While returning to california I checked this app and found its great. I found my fav magazines and my travel was awesome. I must say this app is for travel. I can pay to get my fav magazines..

### 4/5 — App for Travellers

*2015-06-12, version 2.3.5*

Great app , good collection of magazines . I enjoyed many magazines while travelling.

### 5/5 — Great Time!!!

*2015-06-12*

Nice magazine issues with great polished images,worth spending time and money.
