Won’t work. Don’t bother trying to get it to work. Pointless. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2018-01-06, version 3.2* App asks to restore purchases every single time I open it. ### 1/5 — Won't open the latest magazine I ordered and subscribed *2017-07-22, version 3.1* Disappointing ### 1/5 — App won't even open *2017-07-15* The app won't even open on a new iPad running the latest software. It just crashes every time it is opened. ### 1/5 — Subscription doesn't work *2017-06-05* Paid for subscription and sometimes for a few minutes, you can read an issue, then it locks out again. Restoring iTunes purchases does nothing. ### 1/5 — iTunes Subscription does not work *2017-05-17* All I want to do is read this magazine and I can download sometimes but then when I re-open the app, they are gone and it asks me to subscribe again. Even the Restore Purchases does not work. Reallt sad state when everyone on here is complaining and they have done nothing about it. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2016-11-20* Ever since the new update on iOS 9. The app opens and when you download magazines the magazines won't open and it crashes. Downloaded the new iOS 10 same problem will not be renewing my subscription because it's so hard to get with the app designer or contact company to tell them about the problem. I guess I'll stick with flying magazine instead. Wish I could give negative stars. ### 1/5 — Where's my subscription? *2016-10-03* After paying for a yearly subscription I've only been able to view one month. Was never able to get the subsequent months even after following the in app FAQs. I tried using the email address to the editor for support and it's a dead link, the email just bounces back. Waste of my money. ### 1/5 — Terrible Customer Support *2016-09-28* The magazine is great, but the app and Customer Support are wholy inadequate. I tried for a month to resolve my iPad app and only got the autobot response that someone would contact me. They never did. I finally called and was told to contact Zinio as they handle all iPad apps! Seriously, they said Zinio was in charge of all Apple subscription apps, and they would not help me. I tried to explain that this is an app from Plane & Pilot on the iTunes store, but they would not listen, so I gave up. You cannot get any subscription support at all! ### 1/5 — Desperately needs an update *2016-07-13, version 3.0* This may be the worse magazine app I have encountered. Good magazine......bad app. ### 1/5 — A totally mess *2016-05-18* I have been a plane & pilot magazine subscriber for 10 years. At beginig the App was always in delay with issues, but since december 2015 it has been a mess trying to download a single issue. Currently I have not been able to download 2016's issues ### 1/5 — Bad app *2016-03-01, version 3.0* Let me add to the negative comments. I'm unable to download the latest issue every month. No one seems to care. Shame on you zinio and P&P for putting up with this. ### 1/5 — Wish I could give negative rating *2015-12-26* After one issue it's forgotten my user info, says it will send password reset but never does. Worthless. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2015-12-25* Don't waste money on this app. Buy original paper copy. ### 1/5 — Bad App *2015-12-23, version 3.0* Worst app I have ever experienced. Asked for help...was told not their problem! ### 1/5 — Save your money. It doesn't work. *2015-12-22* The app doesn't work. You'll get nothing. At least iTunes refunded my money seconds after I reported the problem. Don't bother contacting the publishers or their web managers. Nothing will happen at their end. Great magazine. Terrible app. Too bad. This probably won't get posted either. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible and deleted *2024-05-21* Another worthless app. No offline reading, which defeats the purpose of having a subscription. When you need assistance, P&P just can’t seem to find your email address. Of course, I’m sure they’ll be able to find all of my info when it comes time to renew my subscription! ### 1/5 — PandP Goes Online-only, but no access for paper mag subscribers? *2020-07-30* So Plane and Pilot stopped mailing paper magazines to all subscribers and moved to a digital-only format. I install the app on my phone and table to be able to read the new issues, but no, the app is only for digital subscribers. I get the whole no publishing during COVID thing, but if you’re going to do that, at least provide a native mobile device experience (which already exists for digital subscribers). Don’t force me to read issues in a web browser. ### 1/5 — The new app is a nightmare *2020-04-25* After the new app installed itsself the complete library is gone and won’t restore. Even worse: no access to new issues with the app! The only way to get the issues: online reading through your browser. I will cancel the subscription. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2020-04-07* Even though you buy a subscription through the App Store the app will not recognize this and prompt you to pay for each issue. Try to get customer service to reply.....they’re non-existent. ### 1/5 — Extremely frustrating *2019-05-15* Crashes incessantly. Can’t read more than a page. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2019-05-03* I can’t read the magazine, since it keeps crashing every 30 seconds, they should reimburse my money ### 1/5 — Unreliable app *2019-04-27* The app is crashing every 5 minutes. So annoying, it makes it impossible to read the Magazine. ### 1/5 — Always crashes and no move to fix *2019-04-27, version 3.3* This app just crashes every five minutes. It’s junk....I will not renew ### 1/5 — Bad *2019-03-20* Keeps asking to restore purchases but then says I’m subscribed. Won’t let me download issues and read without crashing. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work. *2018-07-27, version 3.3* Only loads ad pages. Content won’t load. Waste of $4.99. Stick with paper edition. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Decient app *2020-08-04* Works well, the magazine is very informative. ### 5/5 — Un an pour 15€ ! *2016-09-29* Un an de magazine en direct des USA pour 15€, je n'ai pas hésité ! ### 5/5 — Great magazine *2016-05-18* P&P is a great magazine and the app is really nice. Some of the reviews accurately describe a problem with the app that prevents them from downloading the issues of the magazine they paid for through their subscription. I had the same problem, but solved it by deleting the app and reinstalling. The app then re-linked with my iCloud account and all of my purchased magazines were restored. ### 5/5 — Melhor revista para aviação geral *2016-05-02* Se vc simplesmente gosta de aviões ou possui um LSA , como eu , essa é a sua revista ! O foco são os LSA , e aviação geral com poucas notícias da comercial. ### 5/5 — Excelente revista, recomendo! *2014-09-01* Excelente revista ### 3/5 — Subscription Problems *2015-09-23* I like the magazine, but not crazy about the app. Mine is set to renew Oct 2015 after my second year, and I can't download anything after Sept 2014. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
