### 1/5 — Wanted a magazine got a “download”

*2020-10-26*

I specifically requested a physical magazine through my door. For the last two years all I get is an email to download something. I’ve complained numerous times and have been told to contact Apple. Fat chance. Extremely disappointed they are happy to ditch readers that have been loyal for 50 years. Keep your downloads. Good luck with that kind of customer service.

### 5/5 — RCME

*2019-05-25*

Truly a good magazine with a wide range of specialties.

### 4/5 — Works well for what I want

*2018-09-08*

This app functions well for me and lets me easily read the magazine on the iPad. It could perhaps be improved by the adding bookmark functions that would take you from the magazine index to the relevant page.

### 5/5 — RCME

*2016-04-22*

Best RC magazine, but you do need a pocket mags account.

### 5/5 — World's Best Radio Control Aeromodelling Magazine

*2015-08-19*

I have been modelling for 25 years and in that time I have read / subscribed to quite a few RC aeroplane magazines. It took me 20 years to finally realise this is the best bar none. Best range of articles and topics. A must read every month.

### 5/5 — Useful addition to paper copy

*2015-08-04*

Great to travel with just an iPod

Great to have access to Digital Archive

Still want the paper copy as well

### 1/5 — No free plan!

*2015-02-08*

The cover says free plan included, however there is no free plan! Be aware. The free plan was one of the major decision points for choosing RCM&E. Very disappointed...

### 5/5 — I'm pleased this exists

*2015-01-06*

Very good content. But this is an old fashioned print magazine and has not been redesigned for display via mobile devices. So can be a little frustrating to read.

### 5/5 — RCME Digital

*2014-09-12*

An excellent informative magazine. Well displayed and accessed within the app.

### 5/5 — RCME Digital

*2014-08-30*

Brilliant
