### 2/5 — App crashes on open purchase

*2015-10-09*

App crashes when opening purchased mags, shame really.

### 5/5 — Nice app for pc enthusiasts

*2014-04-14*

I will not review the magazine here but just the app. All people should know about the magazine is that it's the best magazine for flight simulator lovers with great reviews, tutorials etc. As for the app, electronic versions are just pdf-versions of the physical magazine with table of contents so you can jump faster. No crashes were experienced and clear design of the main screen is good. Also, you can directly access electronic materials which come with the physical version. Great app if you have no possibility of subscribing to the physical version.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with Key.Aero subscription

*2023-01-28*

I select to enter login details from provider and get a success message. And then the App crashes.

Please fix

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2022-12-24*

Just updated it and it does nothing but crash, it goes to the springboard opening page and then that’s it.

Not good when you have paid content inside

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2020-10-22*

Its stuck on an endless loop of downloading purchased issues which can never be read. Very annoying.

### 1/5 — Was not expecting

*2020-03-15*

Well it looks good but you have to by the thing for the magazine I was expecting to be a game of the magazine but you have to buy

### 1/5 — Terrible customer support

*2015-09-30*

Bought the electronic magazine to read on my iPad w/o having to use a separate app as reports indicate app crashes repeatedly. 

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.

### 1/5 — Buyer Beware

*2015-09-21*

While I have enjoyed the magazine, this is is to be avoided. Since upgrading to iOs 9 this app has failed. If a new mag is available it takes DAYS to download and then crashes. Have a on a number of times tried to contact customer service but get the message that the Email has been returned as undeliverable. So buyer beware, while the magazine may be great for those of use who flight sim this magazine is afront, spamware at the very least

### 1/5 — Crash and Burn...

*2015-04-21*

bought an issue of the mag and won't open...contacted support and still a no fix..rip off!

### 1/5 — can't uninstall

*2014-02-01*

I DOWNLOADED PC PILOT AND NOW I CAN'T UNINSTALL IT. IT'S COSTING ME MEMORY!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Underlying Pocket Mags viewer is unreliable!

*2013-08-22*

When I view my issues of PC-Pilot pages are missing from the magazine and never get loaded. Very unsatisfying.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2012-12-02*

Can't get past the blue loading screen, tried deleting and reinstall still no joy.  Other magazines from same publisher work fine.

### 5/5 — The Flight Sim Magazine for the UK

*2014-07-07*

There are others but this particular one is UK-centric. While it's nice to know what Bob in Denver thinks of a product I can relate more to Sid in Swindon's opinion. 

It's been running for years and has been a source of support and advice every two months without fail for all of them.

### 5/5 — Works great on old iPads

*2014-04-16*

I have a first gen iPad and the app works great. The best mag for flight simming out there. Reviews are unbiased and are really helpful.
