I wanted to read it using the built in iOS app instead. I NEVER used their app and they wouldn't refund my purchase price so that I could repurchase issue from iTunes to read on iPad. It would've been a "wash" to them, yet they wouldn't even respond to my repeated emails. ## Frequently asked questions about PC Pilot ### What is PC Pilot - Flight Sim Magazine about?
