User reviews

An excellent App.

I used to buy every paper issue and read cover to cover including adds. For a while I found the online versions glitchy but now everything works well. The in depth reports are wonderful. I don’t fly myself, could never afford to, but imagining is fine.

No access

Since the latest update I cannot access any editions. If I tap Restore Purchases it doesn’t do that and keeps asking for a log in which doesn’t work either. Still takes my money every month though.

Response from developer

We are really sorry to hear you have experienced these problems with the latest update to the app. If you can please contact us at digitalsubscriptions@archant.co.uk with details of your subscription, we will get this resolved for you asap.

Do not buy if you want one issue only

The app misleadingly indicates you can buy one issue. In fact you are purchasing an ongoing, monthly subscription- not a single issue. This practice must be stopped. It is misleading and unscrupulous

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you have experienced problems with our app. We offer a range of duration based subscriptions within the app and have previously also offered one off single issue purchases. Whilst the duration based subscriptions are recurring, they represent better value for money then the one off single issue purchases, as they grant you full access to all editions within the app and are considerably cheaper than purchasing a single edition. If you have taken out a subscription that has renewed automatically when you did not wish it to do so, you should be able to receive a refund for this payment by contacting Apple's support team.

Downloads don’t work

I spend my working life in airliners so I thought I could read downloaded publications whilst in the air. Wrong! You have to have an internet connection before the app will function. I’ve raised this with Archant and “they’re looking into it”. Well it’s been like it for 12 months of my subscription with no cure so I won’t be bothering to renew. Such a shame as the internet connection only seems to be necessary to subject you to some adverts about subscribing to other magazines.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We are currently working on a big project to move the app onto a new and improved platform, bringing a host of great new features. At this point, the download authentication checks which have caused the problem you have experienced will be removed, allowing you to access downloads without first having to authenticate your subscriber status via an internet connection.

Very frustrating magazine app.

Today, as I often do on a busy day off, I have been dipping in an out of an article in Pilot magazine. If you allow the tablet to close, when you unlock it, you see the page you were on for 1 second, then it resets to the home page and you have to select the issue then scroll through to get back to where you were. Every bl**dy time! And scrolling through the pages, it usually interprets scrolling past an advert page as wanting to go to the advertiser's website. It is very, very annoying.
