Great way to keep up to date
Been reading MR for many years, very informative and full of interest for anyone wanting to get the real news about the current railway industry, without the sensational rubbish poured out from mainstream media. Good selection of regular contributors who provide in depth news and analysis, particularly Roger Ford’s ‘Informed Sources’, and Ian Walmsley’s ‘Pan Up’, which both give in depth, often highly critical views, but always an accurate assessment of the real issues being covered. The magazine mainly looks at the UK rail scene, but also covers European and international railway news. I would highly recommend Modern Railways to anyone who has an interest in railways and who wants accurate information, rather than relying on the output from mainstream media, which invariably manage to get things wrong and completely mixed up, either through ignorance, laziness, or so often because of their own political agenda.

Great up but unfortunately miss out on special offers
The app is great and I am able to keep all my copies in the cloud which is fantastic, but unfortunately digital subscribers can’t access all the special offers that the publisher provides so that is one dissapointment
New update too sensitive
Could you please make the app less sensitive. Every time I scroll around the pages the contents tab pops up. Makes for a very poor reading experience and only happened since the last update. Disappointing.
Good content, badly presented
Great magazine but very poor app. It's basically just an image of the paper mag. See soundOnSound magazine for how to do an iPad edition properly.
Furthermore, issues sometimes fail to download in part or in full, and PocketMags are totally unresponsive. I don't think they care.
The magazine's editor fobs you off with "nothing to do with us, contact PocketMags" when you complain.

Dreadful app
This app is absolutely awful - I have fibre broadband but the magazine still (even on the allegedly revamped app) takes forever to download.
When it does it may or it may not let you read your magazine and odd pages appear if at all.
Drives you mad!
The app regularly crashes half way through download, or when coming back to magazines it may or may not let you access your purchases offline.
Absolutely dreadful - incredibly annoying and woefully unreliable - much like a few of Britains train operators!
