The contributors are excellent and I’m learning lots from them and getting a better idea of how to proceed with my own layout which is in its early stages. -- Big E53, 2024-05-31 ### *---- "All my monies lost" Because of failing memories I am un able to connect to read magazines I have paid good money for. Very disappointed. -- the flashman, 2023-06-11 ### *---- "Awful upgrade or rather downgrade" The magazine is illserved by this app. The previous upgrade was bad enough. This one has rendered reading the magazine impossible. The icons don’t work. The search is clumsy. The whole renders the subscription worthless and unless there is a very swift resolution will simply cancel online subscription and buy paper even if I lose ALL my bookmarks. Such a shame. Just cancelled subscription -- mgcted, 2023-03-29 ### ****- "Not working" Since the app was upgraded it is not possible to look at the magazines even though the direct debit has been taken. Deleting and reinstalling does not work even though you can log in. The app does not recognise existing subscribers. -- not dave just bob, 2023-02-21 ### *---- "Unreadable" Really need an app to view on a pc. The mag is great but unreadable on a phone. -- Phil Hodders, 2022-12-10 ### ***** "See the detail without a magnifying glass!" Fantastic value… See the detail without a magnifying glass! Model Rail is simply the best magazine out there for premier layouts, detailed and independent reviews of models and tools and Chris Nevard’s photos and scratch built modelling is stunning. If you are looking for inspiration… look no further! -- AAWh, 2022-05-30 ### ***** "Poor support" I renew via annual subscription and usually receive the new issues on my iPad mini successfully. However since my recent subscription renewal in January I have had problems with the monthly downloads and now I cannot download the March issue. I have tried fixing the problem via FAQ, I have also emailed a screenshot and phoned Bauer media and so far they have not fixed the problem or contacted me. I will think twice about renewing the subscription in the future and would not recommend this App to anybody. -- AngloAnglia, 2022-02-19 ### *---- "Just a list of he magazine issues" This app just lists the editions of the magazine you can buy. I was hoping to see a small sample of one or two so I could decide if I wanted to spend my money on downloading one or more. -- Jkmitchell56, 2021-01-26 ### *---- "Stopped working again" Since last update can’t get access to all the mags I have bought -- eastsomerset, 2021-01-22 ### ***** "Model rail" Absolutely love the magazine always full of quality layouts and hints and tips keep up the excellent work -- very unbsppy, 2021-01-07 [View all Model Rail reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Model Rail In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Model Rail Monthly Sub | £2.79 | | Model Rail magazine Subscriptions | £14.99 | | Free trial -
