FLYING Magazine App Reviews

For everyone who has done the update and cannot access the current issue, my condolences. And what about the rest of us poor schmucks who still have the original iPad and cannot even load the newest version and, therefore, cannot access any new issues at all??? Not everyone has the money to update the hardware every other year. So now I am back to not being able to access any new issue. Wow!!!

Everything was working fine and now after five issues out of 24 your app is haywire and it looks like I am just one of many. Dont pay a dime for this app until they fix it and those of us who have been inconvenienced are made whole. Ill never understand the need for IT people to screw up things that worked fine.

Do you guys ever test your stuff? I cannot read the magazines I have paid money for. When I picked a page to read out of the issue with the P-47 on the cover, it slowly, laboriously downloaded that page and presented it to me 5 minutes later. Curious as to what would happen next, I scrolled quickly through that article and the next was waiting for me. Then I scrolled backward and the article I had just come from was no longer available. It said "Downloading" again and thats all I can get. Now pushing on a random page just gives me a blank white sheet and the word downloading. 1. I have to be able to read what Ive bought. 2. I have to be able to read an issue while offline that previously was downloaded while I was online. 3. It would be really nice if the app remembered where I am in an issue, where I left off reading. 4. It has to work. A bit faster than 5 minutes per page would be helpful also. 5. Since it is now clear you cant write software, I suggest you have some sort of beta program so people can test new versions of the app before they have to commit to something that doesnt work like I just did. How do I go back? The old version sucked but at least I could read the magazine Id paid for.

I cant sign in to the new "improved" app. Please fix this now worthless app.

I subscribe to Flying magazine (Print edition) and have been for years. I decided that I also wanted to subscribe to the Digital version also. On July 20, 2013 I purchased a digital subscription for $5.99 for a one year subscription. My Digital subscription has since expired and for me to continue the Digital subscription I would have to pay $14.99 per year. That is ridiculous. There should be a discount for print subscribers, at one time there was. So disappointed with the management of this magazine.

Bonnier, what is your problem???? Why would you DELETE all the issues that I paid for and then make it IMPOSSIBLE to restore them by putting me through password and account access purgatory.? Not to mention your NON EXISTENT customer service. Friends, dont make the mistake I made by trying to do business with this RIPOFF ARTIST of a company!!

Dont subscribe. Ive asked for a refund because the app simply does not work. Very frustrating.

Crashes over and over - cant access any of the issues. Reinstalled twice, to no avail.

Used this app for a long time. Current version is a total pain. Spent way more time trying to log in to my subscription that i have paid for and made no changes to, yet wont let me log in or download issues. Spent hours on it and frankly a free year subscription wouldnt even make up for the time i have wasted on this thing. On top of everything even tried to reset my password and the only way to do that is to enter your address, which was fine until the only available country to choose from is Canada. When you live in California that obviously creates an error. Oh, and did i mention, works fine on my other ipad. Why did they change this, the new app is horrible and the original worked flawlessly.

Not sure what happened, but nothing shows up after the upgrade to 8.1. Just a blank screen. A few of my magazines are having some issues on iPhone. Please fix.

Please fix it.

Beyond it just being a reader, heaven help you if you forget your password or want to update your profile. The available links to log-in don’t work at all. The give you several options to restore your PW but they simply do not work and taping on the option does not work on IOS. There is NO tech support at all. Bonnier Corp doesn’t care about Customer Service. All they care about is selling subscriptions. Beyond that then you are on your own. Good Luck!!

Completely useless app. Impossible to digitally subscribe. You can only buy one issue at a time at full price. I guess it is slaying trees and snail mail until Bonnier gets its act together.

I love the “paper” magazine. I would like to receive my subscription electronically, (instead of the paper version) each month. I’m able to renew my paper magazine for one year at $14.00, but they want $14.99 for the electronic version! Now I’m paying $0.99 more and they don’t even have to pay for printing costs or postage? How does that make sense? For $14.99 they ought to provide both a paper AND electronic version!

App is worthless and you cannot login. Needs significant improvement to even be worth downloading to try again.

Tried multiple times accessing the free single month offer but app is stuck with "Purchasing subscription..". Makes me wonder if the backend servers are overloaded and will have the same experience for new issues every month. Back to Zinio for me...

We dropped Flying in 2014 because of all the issues with digital access. Now in 2016 the 30 day trial never goes through and even trying to pay, FAIL. Mr. Goyer, fix your digital content finally - how long?

Having been a subscriber for a few years now to the print subscription, I was happy to see the ability to read the magazine digitally, which is far more convenient. This worked great for a while, but with the February 2016 issue, I havent been able to access the digital edition without paying. Attempting to contact support has been futile. Also, minor nit: its really annoying to download multiple issues at once. Starting a new download will pause the current download.

I am quite surprised at the individuals giving this magazine low ratings simply because they lack the ability to use technology correctly. Review: fun to read, well written, relevant, great images as well.
