Model Railroader Magazine Reviews
May 2020...Do not buy or download this useless app!!!!!
Update Sept. 30, 2020: Now over 11 months since the last update of this app, the one that broke the app and stole our paid for magazine issues from us. Absolutely no improvements or updates since then, no help or support from Kalmbach or Model Railroader staff and ni attempts to replace or refund our stolen, paid for online issues. Shame on you Model Railroader Magazine!!! You have been warned....do not buy or download this useless app. As of May 2020 there is no improvement...read on to find out the truth about this rip-off. This latest update, October 25 2019 is awful. All previous paid for and downloaded issues deleted so you are forced to re-download every previous issue you have already bought yet again. But worse than that you are forced to relog-in with your user name and password but there is no ability to recover or change your username or password if you forgot them!!!! So you end up with an unusable app that has deleted your paid for merchandise and no way to recover it. Complete Rip-Off by Model Railroader!!!!! Massive fail yet again by the staff at Model Railroader. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Update: After numerous tries I was finally able to figure the hidden and convoluted way they have set-up password recovery. I can only shake my head at the sick minds that decided to over-complicate what should be a simple procedure. Now that I can actually log-in to my account I was finally able to re-download my previously bought editions of the mag. Unfortunately that just shows up the slow buggy and crappy u/i. There really is nothing good about the app now, it is all just lousy unfortunately. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Horrible!
Was a great app, has now been useless for many months since an update late 2019. Have cancelled my subscription. This was a good app at one time, what nonsense that Kalmbach has ruined it. No help from them either as it’s impossible to log in.
Lost years of paid-for issues
All previous paid-for subscriptions and special issues are gone. The app freezes when you try to scroll back to re-download them. And the password it wants is NOT your current MR password but the one from the year of the purchase. UPDATE EDIT: 10 months later, no updates to disastrous app. As iOS has updated, MR app no longer even opens.
Very troublesome.
When I started using this app about 3.5 years ago, it was not that bad. Now it is a complete PITA! Issues I have long since paid for seem to come and go at will.
I strongly suggest that you DO NOT USE THIS APP, NOR DEPEND ON Kalmbach standing behind their product.
COMPLETE CRAP!
Cannot restore some purchases. Cannot filter on purchased issues.
Cannot restore some purchases. Cannot filter on purchased issues. App used to be great. Invested heavily in digital issues. Extremely disappointed.
Lost 3 years of issues
Emailed Model Railroader and they said nothing they can do since I. Ought the issues through PayPal. I have been a customer for 20 years. No more
Absolute crap!
I give it 1 star only because I don’t have the option to give it 0 stars.
The app crashes IMMEDIATELY.
Scrolling through the archive is reminiscent of surfing the web on a dial up modem in the nineties.
If you forget your user name or password you are SCREWED. There are NO options to recover these from the app.
If you already have a subscription like me (which I will DEFINITELY CANCEL) then I offer you my sincere condolences. If not; stay away. This app is complete garbage.
If you work for Model Railroader; tell whoever decided to go ahead with the October update that they are an idiot.
Model railroader, if you are attempting to reach out to a younger crowd with this digital platform then you are failing miserably.
In summary: TOTAL CRAP.
This new incarnation of a Class 1 app is now A Short Line with lousy ballast
What were they thinking? No longer have access to issues. Will no longer accept my login information, so MR and Trains were deceived by some bloody wally. The prats who recommended the changes are pilking wankers!
Was great, now horrible
I’ve invested a lot into my iPad collection, various special issues and subscribed for a year now. However, it took multiple attempts to simply access the latest issue (“restore purchases” was very slow) and I still haven’t been able to access any of my past catalog. This app used to be a great way to browse through my collect - now it might be all gone. Can’t express how frustrating this is. For a magazine that is trying to reach the younger generations, this latest update my just turn them (and me) off this publication for good.
Crashes as soon as it launches.
Was 5 star...but crashes as soon as it launches. Disappointed as I have several issues on my account.
