*2024-08-02*

The inability to access even downloaded issues while off line makes this app just one or two steps better than useless for me.

### 1/5 — Delete, Re-Install, reload library

This seems to be a recurring trend. Recommend investing in better tech.
It’s tough to keep supporting your writers when the app inevitably fails.

### 5/5 — Recoil

*2024-04-15*

The articles are well-written and not your normal gun magazine. Timely information and cool gear reviews. Well worth the money. The print copy has great paper and feel. They didn't go cheap like all the rest.
