## Modern Railways Magazine Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "Great way to keep up to date"
Been reading MR for many years, very informative and full of interest for anyone wanting to get the real news about the current railway industry, without the sensational rubbish poured out from mainstream media.  Good selection of regular contributors who provide in depth news and analysis, particularly Roger Ford’s ‘Informed Sources’, and Ian Walmsley’s ‘Pan Up’, which both give in depth, often highly critical views, but always an accurate assessment of the real issues being covered. The magazine mainly looks at the UK rail scene, but also covers European and international railway news.  I would highly recommend Modern Railways to anyone who has an interest in railways and who wants accurate information, rather than relying on the output from mainstream media, which invariably manage to get things wrong and completely mixed up, either through ignorance, laziness, or so often because of their own political agenda.
-- Rik Dreadnaught, 2021-10-21

### **--- "New update too sensitive"
Could you please make the app less sensitive. Every time I scroll around the pages the contents tab pops up. Makes for a very poor reading experience and only happened since the last update. Disappointing.
-- szkendler, 2019-04-15

### *---- "Good content, badly presented"
Great magazine but very poor app. It's basically just an image of the paper mag. See soundOnSound magazine for how to do an iPad edition properly. 

Furthermore, issues sometimes fail to download in part or in full, and PocketMags are totally unresponsive. I don't think they care. 

The magazine's editor fobs you off with "nothing to do with us, contact PocketMags" when you complain.
-- Hoagy-ytfc, 2015-12-26

### *---- "Dreadful app"
This app is absolutely awful - I have fibre broadband but the magazine still (even on the allegedly revamped app) takes forever to download. 
When it does it may or it may not let you read your magazine and odd pages appear if at all. 
Drives you mad! 
The app regularly crashes half way through download, or when coming back to magazines it may or may not let you access your purchases offline.
Absolutely dreadful - incredibly annoying and woefully unreliable - much like a few of Britains train operators!
-- peakrob, 2015-10-23

### *---- "Constantly crashes on launch or on the splash screen."
Please fix this - I've paid for a subscription!

Now crashes when you choose not to view the subscription offers, so it's not possible to buy a single issue.
-- urpert, 2014-10-29

### *---- "App crashes"
App crashes each time a new edition is received. This is a recurrent problem. Mag is great. App is cr*p. Happier when the mag was available through zinio
-- Bob Ford, 2014-05-23

### ***** "Good app, excellent magazine"
Works well overall. Huge improvement on the zinio fiasco where they cancelled my subscription   with no refund. This app seems to be better supported by the publisher. One small flaw is that some pictures don't zoom far enough to see the detail. Actual content of the magazine is as good as ever, barring Alan Williams who needs pour himself a long drink and cheer up :-)
-- Alasdair1976, 2014-01-15

### ****- "Fix this"
As another reviewer has observed, the Pocket Mags app obstinately refuses to download the magazine (the latest issue refuses to get beyond the 39% mark).

Very special, particularly after springing for an annual subscription to Modern Railways - although this bug has been around for all Pocket Mags offerings.
-- NigelOfKent, 2013-11-21

### *---- "Disgraceful"
Total con. Doesn't work. Download at your peril.
-- Graftontth1, 2013-10-11

### *---- "Shocking app"
People are paying money for this and it keeps crashing, sort it out. I've not been able to read what I've paid for yet.
-- Pup26, 2013-10-03
