Model Airplane International

Mod 2011-10-16: is it just me or do the pages of the issues look a little more blurred than before the ios5 update? It's a good alternative to the paper mags. Cheaper, can buy it when i want to, and i can also read it on the pc. Only disappointing part of this type of app is the fact that the preview version is not all that informative. Sometimes i look forward to an article, buy the online magazine and just discover that the specific article is only one or two pages. App could also be more interactive i think. Why not make the ads refer to the websites, show some 360 degree look, maybe a video of a show report etc etc. Three stars. Room for improvement, but I enjoy the mags every time.

I lost 2 years of back issues after the last update. So far I have tried everything but no luck. The help desk has been not been any help other than to tell me to delete the app and reload it. Up until that time this was a 5 star app for me. I much prefer to read magazines on my iPad so hopefully the will be more “bug fixes” in the future. Until then I will not be supporting this app.

I enjoy being able to read this international model magazine on my iPad. In the past, access to such magazines was a challenge. I'm impressed with the content and presentation of Model Airplane International. The writing and photos are of appreciable quality. The only nitpick is the app often doesn't open successfully, leaving you on the splash screen.

This is a good APP, it does everything it says. The content is solid, a few too many adds.

Normally good articles. Mostly interesting subjects. From time to time quick build articles are very oversimplified and limited in value. Would like to see larger photos to help clear up a detail point.One of my steady modeling magazines.

Along with Fine Scale Modeler this is a must have magazine for any modeler. The only downside is their pricing - they should really have monthly subscription available. Therefore 4 stars instead of 5.

This is my favorite model aircraft magazine, period. As a Brit now living in the States it's an incredibly economical, fast and easy way to access the superb content. Highly recommended in every way.

One of the best modeling mags out there. Lots of very detail information and a lot of variety in the editorial material. Bravo!

Never had any problems with the app nor the magazine. I like having the electronic copy as I can zoom in on something now that my vision is not as good as it once was.

First impression of this app is desperately bad. I'm a paper copy subscriber who decided to renew electronically. I selected the free issue and paid for a 12-month subscription. After waiting for the free issue to download, when I tap "Read," my iPad flashes white and then goes black. Period. That's the interface to the free issue. Tap the screen and I get the text field "Page" and that's it. Swipe? Nothing. All I can do is tap the Home icon. Since the app knows my name and address, I figured it would know I already possess the issue it looks like they're prompting me now to download (they mailed it to me last week). So—assuming I ever get this app so I can actually see *some* magazine issue—it looks like the app will force me to buy this one issue twice. Painful. Poorly designed and poorly implemented. Bad experience. Tomorrow in the light of a new day, I'll see if I can get anything to work, or if I'll be spending time with the publisher getting my money back.
