### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-06-19*

Downloaded thinking this was an app used for modeling your own plane but it’s only an app that makes you waste your money on stupid magazines about model planes

### 2/5 — Great content. Iffy app on iPad

*2023-09-21*

I love the magazine. But on my iPad it constantly crashes and I have to reboot. My iPad is about 7 years old. But other online mags work better. 
Maybe I need to upgrade. But that would be a couple of years budget for online magazines. But other online apps work better.

### 1/5 — Lost Issues After Last Update

*2021-01-07*

I lost 2 years of back issues after the last update. So far I have tried everything but no luck. The help desk has been not been any help other than to tell me to delete the app and reload it. Up until that time this was a 5 star app for me. I much prefer to read magazines on my iPad so hopefully the will be more “bug fixes” in the future.  Until then I will not be supporting this app.

### 5/5 — Excellent Magazine

*2017-03-01*

I enjoy being able to read this international model magazine on my iPad.  In the past, access to such magazines was a challenge.  I'm impressed with the content and presentation of Model Airplane International.  The writing and photos are of appreciable quality.

The only nitpick is the app often doesn't open successfully, leaving you on the splash screen.

### 4/5 — Good APP

*2015-08-05*

This is a good APP, it does everything it says. The content is solid, a few too many adds.

### 3/5 — Good interesting mag

*2015-07-09*

Keeps up to date, like the electronic versions, more mags, less storage.

### 4/5 — Aircraft International

*2015-01-02*

Normally good articles. Mostly interesting subjects. From time to time quick build articles are very oversimplified and limited in value. Would like to see larger photos to help clear up a detail point.One of my steady modeling magazines.

### 4/5 — Classic

*2014-08-25*

Along with Fine Scale Modeler this is a must have magazine for any modeler. The only downside is their pricing - they should really have monthly subscription available. Therefore 4 stars instead of 5.

### 5/5 — Good magazine

*2014-08-25*

Enjoy reading this mag,good clear pages,plenty of great articles and new stuff coming onto the market. Good value for money and plenty to keep you going until the next issue comes out.

### 5/5 — Awesome Brit Modeling Mag!

*2014-04-16*

This is my favorite model aircraft magazine, period. As a Brit now living in the States it's an incredibly economical, fast and easy way to access the superb content. Highly recommended in every way.
