Needs more civilian vehicles, boats, figures and sci-fi. Good in depth articles with good photos. One advantage of the digital edition is being able to zoom in on details. I’ve been buying this magazine for years as it’s one of the best out there. ### 4/5 — Very nice *2017-06-21, version 4.9.99* A nice way to read the magazine. ### 4/5 — Alastair *2016-12-13, version 4.9.99* Great modelling magazine with plenty of technical hints to improve my modelling. A diverse range of models covered to spark interest. ### 4/5 — War mal besser . … *2015-10-14, version 4.9.71* Grundsätzlich bin ich ein echter Fan der digitalen Zeitschriften. Nach einem der letzten Updates ist das Lesevergnügen aber nicht mehr das, was es mal war. Da die Zeitschrift jetzt nicht mehr erst komplett geladen wird, sondern im Hintergrund, passiert es häufiger (und ich habe eine wirklich schnelle Internetverbindung!!), dass ich ewig auf das laden einer Seite warten muss. Redaktionell bemängele der Chef, dass die Möglichkeiten der Interaktivität null ! Genutzt werden. Keine Hyperlinks, keine Möglichkeit, sich Textpassagen zu kopieren oder auch nur zu markieren, um sie direkt in eine Google-Suche einzubinden oder dergleichen. Das sind vertane Chancen. ### 5/5 — Brilliant ! *2014-07-27, version 4.9.54* Superb magazine, and a great bargain compared to the printed price too ! ### 5/5 — Tamiya mag *2014-07-25, version 4.9.54* Look forward to my mag , never let down, I always learn something new , it might only be one thing, but I'm always improving thanks to a great magazine , top rate ### 5/5 — Tamiya Model Magazine *2014-02-14, version 4.9.34* Excellent magazine covering many aspects of modelling ### 4/5 — Not bad but a few flaws *2014-01-20, version 4.9.34* Good magazine with a range of subjects. Spellchecking/ syntax could do with improving though. The app itself works most of the time but sometimes you need to delete and reload an issue on first download as they won't open. There's also an issue with the app crashing when zooming. ### 5/5 — Tania magazine *2014-01-19, version 4.9.34* This is a high quality magazine that is easy to use and makes a great reference with very useful articles and detailed photos ### 5/5 — Tamiya *2013-10-24, version 4.9.10* Excellent magazine, no surprise really, excellent products too. Have been building them for 40 years and they are as good now as they have ever been. Rare in this world, where so many things are being cheapened. Keep it up! ### 5/5 — Super genial! *2013-08-26, version 4.9.10* Mieux que la version papier que l'on ne trouve pas en France ### 4/5 — Curate's Egg *2013-08-23, version 4.9.10* Great magazine and on-screen version gives you a chance to browse before purchase.......just like being in a proper store. Tamiya are at the top of the modelling tree but this app does need to be sorted. Loading problems should be sorted by now. Come on guys, get a grip. ### 5/5 — Tamiya Magazine *2013-07-16, version 4.9.10* How can this be topped ... An excellent magazine with varied subject matter to interest all modellers along with inspiring pictures and build stories too. Terrific. ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2013-06-24, version 4.9.10* So nice to get the magazine when it comes out instead of having for it to show up on the shelf or in the mail! Easy to use & read! Love it!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2013-06-11, version 4.9.10* The only way to read is an ebook. Great magazine guys. ### 5/5 — Tamiya *2013-06-09, version 4.9.10* Excellent publication, I really enjoy the electronic version as they do not take up physical space and I can read the articles anywhere on my iPad. ### 4/5 — Great Mag - slightly unstable app *2013-06-05, version 4.9.10* Tamiya mag is a great modelling mag and well worth buying. The app however is a bit of a let down. It's unstable and often locks up. On than one occasion I've had to delete and download it, and my purchases again. In fairness to the app guys, the crashes seem to happen after an iOS update and get fixed shortly after. It's just a pain that's all. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nach Abo-Ende auch gekaufte Titel nicht mehr verfügbar *2016-03-03, version 4.9.88* Habe das Abo der Zeitschrift nach 6 Monaten auslaufen lassen, weil ich nur noch Einzelhefte kaufen möchte. Der Grund dafür ist, dass mich nur wenige Artikel wirklich interessieren und die Zeitschrift leider mit Werbung vollgestopft ist. Also wollte ich das Magazin nur selektiv beziehen. Sehr negativ ist: Nach Ablauf sind nun alle bereits (mit dem Abo) bezahlten Ausgaben wieder kostenpflichtig. Was soll das? Warum soll ich für Ausgaben doppelt bezahlen, nur weil ich kein Abonnent mehr bin? Ich bin der Meinung, ein "lebenslanges Leserecht" erworben zu heben. Das scheint aber nicht der Fall zu sein, obwohl das nirgends erwähnt wird. Mein Fazit: Nicht Empfehlenswert! ### 1/5 — Model magasine *2013-12-10, version 4.9.34* Gratis m'y assez ### 1/5 — Never works *2013-04-10, version 4.9.10* Constant problems with this app. Issues refuse to download and you just end up wasting money. Very frustrating, when will pocket mags get it right. Same problems exist with their other downloadable magazines. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2013-01-03, version 4.9.4* I only ordered one back issue. Everytime i try to download it for the first time, the app crashes. On the pad and the phone btw... ### 1/5 — Won't load *2013-01-01, version 4.9.4* Neither my ipad or iPhone will load issues. For the last few days upon loading, the program shows "fetching data" and nothing happens! Uninstall and reinstall no help. I now have 3 issues I cannot access. ### 1/5 — Unreliable waste of money *2012-12-08, version 4.2.5* Often fails to load or hangs, particularly when buying new copies or trying to download previous purchases (something I've had to attempt several times trying to make it work). It's ok when it does load, but just too much hassle to be worth sticking with. You spend mor time fixing it than reading it. Can I get refunds? ### 1/5 — Terrible *2012-09-15, version 4.2.5* Downloaded 3 mags from this publisher, none of them work on new iPad. They sometimes work on iPhone but hardly an enjoyable way to read magazines! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2012-07-23, version 4.2.1* Paid for app and did not receive the free issue for paid app,Do Not Buy! ### 1/5 — Ken *2012-07-19, version 4.2.1* Pay the $2.99 for this app and it will show you that you can buy current and back issues for $4.99. Seems to me that this could be free - if you're going to charge full price for a downloaded copy of the magazine. The only saving grace is that the preview feature shows the first few pages of the magazine. I figured it would give some additional reviews, tips, or something. Certainly not worth the money in my opinion. ### 1/5 — not worth the $ *2012-06-09, version 4.1.7* Crash to black.... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great magazine! *2026-03-12, version 7.4.7* Nothing I love more than when a new issue drops and there's enough in there to keep me occupied til then. Thanks y'all! ### 5/5 — Υπέροχο *2025-01-04, version 7.2.10* Εξαιρετικό!!!! ### 5/5 — Terrific *2022-06-05, version 6.4.0* Very good app. Works as it should and reading mags is no problem. ### 5/5 — Horizontal mode *2021-10-01* I hope I could use this app with horizonal orientation. ### 5/5 — Best way to read! *2017-12-12, version 4.9.99* This is hands down the best way to keep up with the scale model world. In depth articles and reviews of the best models coming out. For me, reading on my iPad makes it even better allowing me to zoom in to look at the details. I recommend this to all that love plastic models. ### 5/5 — The Very Best Modelling Magazine *2017-02-03, version 4.9.99* TMMI has always set the standard, by which other scale modelling magazines have strived to emulate. A well formatted publication; filled with informative articles and subject matter. The finish of all models is of the highest quality found anywhere. My only (slight) criticism; would be for the print version of the magazine, to use higher quality paper. ### 5/5 — Muito Bom *2016-05-01, version 4.9.88* Muito Bom ### 5/5 — Super *2015-06-16, version 4.9.71* Really useful ### 5/5 — Great magazine *2015-02-03, version 4.9.71* good magazine and the app support has always been first rate. Only downside I have seen is that the app doesn't tell you if you are logged in or not, and it crashes a bit for me (although I am still using a first gen iPad ). ### 5/5 — Love this mag!! *2014-09-23, version 4.9.54* Been building tamiya models for a couple years now and finally have a subscription...so many helpful tips and reviews. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
