### 4/5 — App for Travellers

*2015-06-12, version 2.3.5*

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

### 4/5 — Liked the idea

*2015-02-04, version 2.2.1*

Good idea. Now magazines are free ....

### 4/5 — Worth it

*2015-01-18, version 2.2.1*

Great app, got the recommendation from friend before my trip to India, this app was like a companion during my flight, make use of the time in reading in airplane mode instead sleeping and watching same old movies...

Give a try, it's worth it

### 4/5 — Great idea!

*2014-08-07*

Used this app at multiple airports and downloaded over 20mags. Great selection great app!!!

### 4/5 — Works like charm

*2014-08-06*

I downloaded couple of magazines and was easily able to read them offline on the flight.
Good concept. Need more magazines in the list.

### 5/5 — Cool App

*2014-08-05*

Had great time in exploring and reading magazines on my iPad on airport. didn’t crash for me.

### 5/5 — Great concept!

*2014-08-05*

Downloaded two magazines Wedding Vows & Natural health and both worked for me.

### 4/5 — Great app!!!!

*2014-08-05, version 1.5*

Enjoyed reading few magazines while in transit.

### 2/5 — Does not work

*2014-08-03, version 1.5*

So far a dud. At an airport (BWI) using their WiFi, but app doesn't recognize.  Will not open magazine.

### 3/5 — Hit or miss

*2014-08-03*

Downloaded three magazines at Newark. Too a very long to completely download but I got a message saying each was complete. 
Was able to read all of mag one and two but the Shape magazine closed the app every time. 
Am now at LAX and app still closes each time I attempt to read Shape. Agree with others - needs a bit of work.

### 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

### 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!

### 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.

### 1/5 — Total waste of time

*2014-10-09*

It took ages to download content, then it wouldn't open claiming that I was not at an airport. Of course, I was at an airport, but there is no way to clarify or certify that you are so it simply didn't work. The available magazines are limited too. Overall, it was hard to find good content, took a long time to down load and then wouldn't open.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!

*2014-08-29, version 1.5*

App is worthless! I am sitting in the Baltimore airport with a three hour layover ahead of me. I opened this app. I got an error message telling me I'm NOT in an airport and I have to be in one to use the app. This is bogus!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2014-08-09, version 1.5*

Tried at bwi, mci and now cmh. Did not work and no way to get help to make it work. 
They have a long way to go.

### 1/5 — Waste of time!

*2014-08-06, version 1.5*

Just downloaded app, then 4 mags. Even though they successfully loaded, when I try to open the mags it tells me that I'm "not at an airport". Meanwhile I'm sitting in the American Airlines terminal at JFK.  Really?? Don't bother!

### 1/5 — Worked for 1 magazine

*2014-08-03*

While this great idea, it only worked for me with just one of the 6 magazines I downloaded.  When you try to open a magazine, the app just closes.  Very disappointing.  The mag selection tends to be less popular ones but I thought that gave me a chance to try something new that maybe I wouldn't see at store.  Bottom line -concept good, application needs serious work.  Come back when when it's real.

### 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!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2015-12-11, version 3.1.1*

TWO THUMBS UP

### 5/5 — Great app!

Use the app every time I fly, since I'm always worried I'll run out of stuff to read but hate spending money at the airport newsstand. Inflight mags are totally free. Awesome app

### 5/5 — Magazines and Airports: A Great Idea

*2015-01-19*

I now can happily look forward to my next Airport experience. InFlight gave me instant access to news and entertainment magazine titles that now fill my waiting and flight time with information and pleasure.
App was fast and has clear directions.

### 5/5 — Inflight reader great

*2015-01-18*

Really great app.  At the airport today, spent time with this app.  Read two magazines while flying. Need to get this app.  No pressure to buy mags.
