FLYING Magazine

Worthless app. No way to read offline (for those times when you would really like to read a magazine because the Wi-Fi is down on your 14-hour transpacific flight). There is also no way to restore a purchase once the app has decided that you’re no longer allowed to access your paid subscription. Removed app and canceled subscription.

Long time subscriber. Enjoyed the hard copy version the most. The latest owner has reduced content and raised prices. I still decided to stay. I subscribed to the email version back in June 2023. I received one email link to one edition. That’s it. So I called in October and a recording stated to call back because the phone system was being updated. I emailed requesting a refund. No response. Summation of new owner: raise prices, cut content and ignore your subscribers when they contact you. I’m done. The end of a once great publication.

I’m have tried for a year. No customer support ability. Will cancel subscription

You limit the number of issues, the app won’t allow reading offline, you tout the new feel of better paper… seriously? These are things that would be fixed by the old subscription and owners. My subscription is cancelled and Plane and Pilot is the beneficiary.

There is no account management or ability to sign in and I cannot figure out how to read my flying mag digital edition. The application just seems to bloated with advertisements and impossible to use. I just want to be able to select library, select my issue and have a great reading experience. Update: The latest app fixes the ability to actually read. Your login is your customer ID. The reading experience is lack luster trying to get full screen. Also it crashes if you try to press the top right button (I thought that would expand the view) but crashes on all iOS devices.

So much better. Now I can read back issues!!

I’ve been a long time subscriber (and decades long reader) of Flying Magazine. The dramatic changes to the app were all for the worse. The readability of the content suffered and virtually every new “feature” of the app and interface detracted from the user experience - and the social media like format has compromised the benefits of longer form and more in depth content. I was hoping they would recognize that these changes are unwelcome and revise the app significantly, but I’ve seen no indication that’s going to happen and have reluctantly cancelled my subscription.

The new app is terrible. How hard can it be to just simply provide a magazine I have paid for and allow me to read it with ease. Dump this app. I no longer have access to all my past issues that I have paid for. Very sad Flying. You used to be my favorite aviation magazine.

I lost all my back issues library Want my back magazine back , I pay for them!!! Awful App , dont waste your money

Very frustrated that I can’t read even the current issue via the app without clicking on each article one at a time. Might as well just surf the web. And the past issue library is completely gone. I stopped saving the paper issues some time ago because I thought I would always be able to access past articles online but now all the great past articles are gone. Very sad to lose the archive as many of those older articles were an aviation treasure.
