FLYING Magazine app good for
Excellent job with this magazine. No paper magazines laying around the house
My problem was fixed: I had the same problem with the new version, not being able to authenticate my account even when i asked the app to send me another password to my email account name. It sent the password but it would never work on the ipad for the Flying app. The problem seemed to be because I had two account numbers, one for the paper version and one for the digital version. I phoned Bonniers customer service and once they combined my two account numbers into a single account for both paper and digital the app accepted the new password. Hope this helps some of you. Good magazine otherwise.
Living in Poland, I subscribed to the printed edition for several years, at a cost of postage that aced a hefty premium on the top of the price your US customers could enjoy.
Once I got my iPad (quite recently), I returned to Flyings digital version.
Not only Can I enjoy reading Flying whenever I am, but also I am happy to come back to some columns in the pas issues, which are all on my tablet!
Besides, dont you agree that the digital issues contribute to expand democracy in the world? =:). This secures equal access at the same price to everybody worldwide to Flying!!!
Great digital version. I was surprised that I could tap on a story in table of contents and it took me there. Ads are not a problem in digital issue. Thanks Flying and keep it up :)
Some bad moments
Although FLying is still one of the best aviation magazines, the app that delivers it to remote readers is really disappointing. Very long to react to any command input, it bombs out much to often. The enjoyment of reading the magazine is marred by a poorly performing app.
The contents are quite good (albeit mirrors the web site almost 1:1), but the app is trash. Takes forever and a day to load and then may or may not work. I am using a iPad 2. My other subscriptions work without a problem. There was an update for a week or so, but subjectively it seems as if the app is even slower now.
In a nutshell: Content = VERY GOOD; App = CRAP
I have a subscription valid until April 2013. I was able to download ONE edition, since then NOTHING, the developers do not respond nor o the editors. Have waited for updates - nothing. Have reinstalled the App - now have NO editions to read.
Using in-App support request leads to an error "support request could not be submitted - please try again later. This App is probably the worst App I have ever seen, other subscriptions work but this one wont. If I could give less than one star, this is the App to receive minus 200 million stars.
DO NOT BUY anything from within the App, you will NOT receive it, the developers will ignore you - you have been warned.
Tried to download the Feb. 2011 issue but once completed you cant access the magazine...? Ive contacted Flying to see what the fix is. Hopefully Ill have better news soon. Dont download yet!
Piece of crap! Very unstable app that crashes. It sells you magazine issues for $2.99 then crashes. Very disappointing, I feel ripped off and will not buy the physical magazine as a result of this bad experience.
Be aware. This app is broken on iOS 4.3. You cannot view magazines previously purchased, or newly purchased.
