WRP Digital Editions

I'm using the most recent version on my iPad Air without any problems. I'm viewing the PDF file. I'll provide an update if I run into any bugs. The magazine itself, Railroad Model Craftsman, is excellent as usual.

The PDFs of RMC are pixelated, show up about 1/4 screen size on my iPad, and are very low quality. When I zoom in to full screen, I can barely read the text. Searching for an issue is completely broken. The interface displays the issues in chronological order so I have to scroll through every single one to get to the most recent, then scroll back through all of them to view the most recent once I downloaded it. I really like RMC and want to support it, but seriously this app is awful.

Great concept in having your previous issues accessible however the inability to download or even print pages from the pdf makes this rather useless. I paid for the mag. So I really need to hold onto 20 years of them to find that one special article instead of being able to find and print it out when I need it?

As mentioned by many others, this version is a giant step backward. On a phone the fonts are readable, but on a tablet the whole interface is gigantic, plus your old library isn’t there. PDF rendering on the tablet is a joke with font size again being a problem. Why was the old version replaced? Sheesh…

There is absolutely nothing positive about this new app whatsoever. The PDF does not work as well as the old app, and more importantly, all of my old issues have been lost as I used to have back and paid for December 2011 and now I only have back to 2018. Formatting is very poor, the PDF, which is the main reason to have the app and be able to read the magazine is clunky and does not work well. Please go back to your old format. This new one really stinks.

New version is an improvement over the previous one. The layout is now magazine format, and is apparently a pdf rendered either online (using the pdf rendering of the system browser, not in the browser) or by downloading to the device and using a local rending app - not sure which one, would be nice if I could use Sidebooks which does a very nice job with pdf magazines. On my iPad it comes up in smaller than full screen, and the trick to get and expanded view is not obvious, nir is reducing again. Several issues with some things which I passes on to customer service. Over all, getting there, but very obviously a beta version of a rewritten app.

Now fonts are gigantic on selection screen. Very difficult to navigate to latest RMC mag. I see now there is pdf rendering version of magazine. The whole point would be to have high resolution images but still low resolution. Pinch zooming non functional. Fire your developer. Clearly not tested. Does not meet most basic quality requirements. Why don’t you just look at Zinio for an example of a good reader? Looks like it is not detecting that I am using an iPad, everything on launch page is huge.

I cannot access magazines downloaded during previous Beta trial and app now freezes and boots me out. Please fix.
