### 1/5 — Rotorworld review

*2015-06-24*

Great magazine, looked forward to it arriving on my iPad every month and then they updated the App, goodbye magazine because it won't open on my iPad 1. So cancelled my subscription as the idea was to be able to take several issues on an aeroplane.

### 5/5 — Great app for iPad

*2015-05-31*

### 2/5 — Needs update

*2014-06-08*

### 5/5 — Awesome mag

*2013-12-28*

There are only 3heli mags and this is one of the best just awesome

### 5/5 — Rotor World

*2013-10-04*

A great all round magazine, useful to all from beginner to expert. We'll worth looking at.

### 5/5 — It's nice to have a new mag pop up automatically

*2013-09-13*

The app works well. A few months ago it seemed to download way too slow, where it was unusable, but it only happened on one issue. It has been great since then. Mags download as fast as ebooks. It's nice to automatically have a new one sitting there for you. I only wish we had American mags instead of UK versions. I don't understand why they do this. I would take a star off the review for that, but I suspect they would sell American if they could. That problem has nothing to do with rating the app, so it gets 5 from me.  Now get us am American mag and I'd be really excited about it.
