AK Interactive - Bookstore

I really loved the previous version of the app, and had started using it to build my library in place of print books. But the updated version in early 2023 has totally ruined all that was good about it for me, and I wish I could refund my purchases now. I tried to politely get into contact via email to seek help, remedies, or info on future fixes. This was over 8 months ago, and despite receiving an automated confirmation of my email receipt and a promise to respond, I've not received any reply to this date at all. The app hasn't been improved in this time either. So I get the feeling we've been left for dead. Things which did work previously but are now missing / ruined are: - I can no longer read my books offline. Which was the main reason I bought my books through this app. - Pricing of books is now hidden, and only shown when you choose to buy one. No more easy browsing like the previous app. - Reader interface is no longer like a normal ebook reader, you use buttons to go left and right and to zoom in and out, just like an old web based brochure viewer or photo gallery from the 90s. - The touch gestures and fine panning and zooming are no longer present. - Buttons are also persistently over the top and edges of your pages, so there's no clean page views when reading anymore. - The ability to bookmark pages for quick reference, and an ability to quickly jump to specific pages and topics are now gone. (There's also no search feature either, but this wasn't something that was present in the old app version either).

AK used to have a decent magazine app but since releasing this pile of steaming garbage its by far the worst app ever. No access when offline so i cant accessany of my releases when in aircraft etc just when i really want to. A disastrous PDF viewer with no multi page support or easy zoom etc. Im not sure who approved this app but a roll back would be the minimum as right now its just the worst magazine app I've been forced to use. If it was my choice id refund ALL my online AK products asright now in its current form this app is useless and an impediment to being able to use any of my numerous purchases. A discrace.

I am a big AK fan but digital is not their core competency. if only they showed the same care and consideration for their app as they do their models, products and videos. I deeply…DEEPLY…regret buying their Air FAQ as a digital product as rarely accessing via their increasingly poor app works. i have spent quite a large amount of money on a ebook I cannot access because the app is so poorly executed. It crashes, there is no easy way to navigate around the pages. Quite frankly AK should be ashamed to release a app of such poor quality. If there was a rating lower than 1 star i would give it. I wish i could get my money back for the FAQ book but it has been too long waiting for AK to build a useable app. So now all I can do is complain and hope it is fixed to enjoy the reference book i paid a lot of money for.

As the title says it used to work but this latest update broke it ,I cant access my purchases and the whole things laggy

Or revert it back to the original version. You had a great app before but now it just looks and feels like something from the 2000s. Also tried restoring my purchases and it just gets stuck. Please fix this app as it was a great resource before this.

Nice idea but every page leads to an 'unexpected error'.

Hi all, first off I highly recommend going though the catalog and seeing what you like. The books and PDF's give a heap of ideas and painting tips. Also I just changed iPads and getting the books back was easy.

The site is an exciting possibility with some way to go to delivering the promise it wants. Excellent products, fantastic idea of promoting techniques and how to enhance AK products and your skills and understanding. But at the moment, there's still a way to go with the one page instructions. I've downloaded a magazine to trial the content and am quite impressed. A good 80% pass mark. Explanations, quality photos, discussion on products, both AK and other brands. That's excellent and shows AK is not afraid to engage the consumer by shows AK how their product works with competitors. Some brands would avoid any mention of other brands, highlighting their confidence in their own product. I've had trouble downloading the catalogue, several tries, no go, so am not brave enough to invest in a book yet for possible loss of money and no download. I'll keep trying, as I recommend you do in exploring this great site.

This app is chokka blokka full of great articles, magazines, product tips on getting too class lolling minis. It's clear and easy to use, and free!

Great app. Very helpful for any one wanting to improve their painting and modelling skills.
