Doesn’t restore my subscription. Shambles
Really really upset. That’s all I have to say. I seem to have lost half a years subscription
WHAT ABOUT EXACT EDITIONS?
I have an Exact Editions subscription which I can’t access via this app. Very poor treatment of existing subscribers
Works for me
I was apprehensive when I saw a new app for my subscription, especially seeing the critical reviews. But I clicked on the option to download previous purchases and the app came up fine. True, it didn’t reinstate my previous purchases, but I was still able to download any previous edition right back to the 1940s with no trouble at all. In fact slicker and clearer than the earlier app. I wonder if the fact I still run iPad 18 has anything to do with the my relative success?

Not for Exact Editions
This app does not now work if you subscribe digitally via Exact Editions. You have to use the “Exactly” app from Exact Editions to read RM if that’s where your subscription is through.
Continually crashes
This has been a great app over the years, and is one of the few apps I use on my iPad, but right now it almost continually crashes. It doesn’t matter whether I’m reading the mag or syncing mags.
Big con
I have had a monthly subscription for this magazine for many years and today when I went to read the latest magazine, found that my account was inactive. Tried many things to activate it again, but to no avail. I then went to try and read a previous month’s magazine which I had purchased and downloaded only to find that I could not read it as my subscription was active. This is a big con, I paid for that download and now I cannot read it. This is just like having a subscription for the hard copy magazine and then when you cancel your subscription you have to return all the magazines that have been sent to you. This could be fraud by false representation as I have paid for a magazine which I can no longer read and I cannot find anywhere were it states that I am only paying to loan the magazines whilst my subscription is active. New subscribers be aware of this, it is a big con.

Won’t recognise subscription
Great mag, read it for 40 years. But now it won’t recognise my subscription. Really hoping this gets fixed as there is no real substitute of similar quality
Doesn’t sync your app store Subscription
If you subscribe via the app store it won’t sync/activate your subscription on the app, despite the fact Continental Modeller works fine.
Log in fail constantly
I cannot log in with my Exact details. At all. They are the correct details but it won’t let me log in. Quite frustrating when I would like to read the digital edition. I subscribe so I would prefer a more efficient app experience.
Can’t log in
Trying to log in the app tells me it can’t find a subscription even though I can log in perfectly well with the same credentials to the website.
Keep Losing downloaded / Sync’d copies
In recent months I keep losing Downloaded / Sync’d copies of RM on the App, have just received notice a new issue (Nov) is available but can’t download or read it? What’s going on?
Railway Modeller app Exact Editions
This app needs an annual subscription. Ut fails to delivery a good experience. Magazine issue states it has synced but move 2 or 3 pages and the pages/ screen stops, waiting minutes to download a few more pages. Extremely poor user experiance. The competitors magazines apps for Hornby and BRM and 200% better, always work faster than the speed of reading and just gives a satisifying reading experience. railway Modeller app Exact Editions need to fix this or PECO subscribers are likely to leave in droves

Railway Modeller
More than irritating it doesn’t work. I can’t download any issues all I get is a big question mark. No amount of logging in or trying to download will work. So I have to‘soldier on’ with printed versions. Peco isn’t it about time you sorted this out as a quality issue.
I paid for them but can't read them!
I cancelled my subscription but have editions stretching back many years which I can no longer read.
I PAID FOR THEM, so should be able to read them.
The Theft Act 1960 states: 'A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it; and “thief” and “steal” shall be construed accordingly'
It seems to me that I have been permanently deprived of my property which has been dishonestly appropriated by Railway Modeller.
Cancelling subscriptions to other magazines (e.g. Practical Photography) paid for via iTunes did not result in me being unable to read the editions I had purchased.
I am disgusted.

Keeps losing synced issues.
This app is intensely irritating! I’ve starred many issues to sync so that I can read them without an internet connection. Before closing the app, I make sure that sync is complete for each issue, and have had the irritating wobbly sync noise. Why then, when I go back to those issues some time later do I find that it’s no longer synced and I can’t read it offline? What’s the point of syncing an issue if it doesn’t stay synced?

Can you stop it making a noise when a new issue appears, please?
This is a very good app. My only complaint is that you can’t stop it making a loud noise when a new issue appears.
Absolute rubbish
Purchased a single edition through my Apple account - the next month this edition is no longer available to view unless I subscribe!
Daylight robbery!,,,,,,,
Daylight robbery!,,,,,,,
Decent viewer, issue management abysmal
Impossible to figure out when or if a sync queue item will ever complete. The whole sync mechanism is not fit for purpose - utterly dire peice of software.
Reader is very good once a copy is on the ipad. Download is a very simple task - ibooks, bbc iplayer, kindle to mention just a few do it seamlessly.

Brilliant magazine but poor app
This is by far the worst app for a magazine or newspaper I’ve used. All my purchases have disappeared and there’s no restore button
Excellent mag excellent app
