Wait a few days and it might work. Meanwhile all other issues are inaccessible. iPad Air 5 running iPadOS 17.2 but it’s been a problem since v16. Also a problem on an iPad Air 3, and also iPhone 7. Removed and reloaded and it’s still a problem. Exact same issue with the model engineer app ### 1/5 — Latest update of this app crashes on opening *2023-07-22* Worked fine until latest update. Why change and break something that was okay. Extremely annoyed as I have paid for the content the app accesses but cannot now use. Please refund my subscription. ### 5/5 — So much easier than paper *2016-03-05* Don't get me wrong - there will always be something special and tangible about printed material, but when you have boxes and boxes of magazines it's so hard to read them or find a particular article. I love the way these e-magazines work. You can print a page for the workshop or save articles if you must but the whole benefit of the e-magazine is you can take them and read them all. So easy 😉 ### 5/5 — Model Engineers Workshop *2014-06-21* No problems downloading or storing copies. Very handy for holiday reading. Excellent App and and a good guide for the hobby of model engineering. No hesitation in recommending this App. ### 1/5 — Appallingly buggy *2014-06-06* Utterly useless - I have a subscription, and whenever I try and download an issue the app reminds me of this but doesn't let me download it or view it! Total waste of time. I'd give it zero stars if I could ... ### 1/5 — Downloading *2014-01-10* Absolutely frustrating situation not being able to even download this app. Message "purchase error. You have not been charged" - and after reading the FAQ's I don't think I'll be bothering ever again. ### 5/5 — MEW *2013-09-23* Excellent, likewise I already subscribe to the paper version but get more from the digital Brian Davies ### 5/5 — Model Engineers Workshop app *2013-09-18* This app download worked perfectly for me. I am an existing subscriber and I now have a magazine and a digital edition. ### 1/5 — Waste of time outside of England *2013-06-13* Good app and delivery is very prompt. Not good value for money. Would have given 5stars however having issues proving bought the app to,get the online digital content. Still after 6 months no digital content, just being chucked from 1 department to another. Very disappointed with the after sales service takes weeks to get a simple email reply and then nothing more than we will,look into it then getting passed to another department or firm......... ### 1/5 — RUBBISH *2013-06-11* It won't download any of my current subscriptions although it did in the first few months. Don't waste your time downloading this app it's rubbish. Wish I could give it zero stats. ## Frequently asked questions about Model Engineer & Workshop ### Does Model Engineer & Workshop have ads?
