Useless 85% of the time
This app worked great at the beginning. Now I download so I can read offline while traveling. And every time it stalls out. Even while at home and you click on a link and return to the app it crashes. Been very frustrated with this app the last few years!
Never works first time
Every time I enter this app, it spins. I have to kill the app and restart it. Every single time. It NEVER knows where I stopped reading. NEVER. It seems reasonable that it should know where I left off and work when I return to it. Amazingly, however, it does provide the content. How AOPA can continue to allow this grossly substandard app is beyond me.
Can’t zoom in anywhere but the center of each page
Good luck if you want to read this on your phone. You can zoom in, but only on the middle of the page. No scrolling or moving it around to read the writing on the sides of the page.
Good, not quite great
To be better, when I return to the app after an absence, it would be on the page I was reading when I left. To be great, no matter which issue I visit, it would start on the page I left off at. Like a dog ear. Only no crease. And zooming is sometimes wonky too … but a good app. Well, that text was written a couple years back. It’s not better, it’s worse now. If I leave the app and come back after an hour or more, it spins. I have to kill the app and restart it, and once again it doesn’t know where I am. Why the heck is it getting worse?
Downloads
It says I’m offline when not. Want open mags when offline. What’s the point of downloading it?
Ghosted Buttons
After downloading the “Read” button is ghosted but you can delete it but when you go back to home page all buttons are ghosted. R Terry
Clumsy app. Freezes, slow to load, difficult to use
Unfortunately this app is so bad that it makes me want to switch back to paper. It freezes up, takes forever to download a magazine, and is not intuitive to navigate. I have had major issues scrolling / moving around a page. The app will freeze up when I try to zoom in on a page. It’s difficult to get back out of a magazine to view other issues. I am using this app on the newest iOS software. Does not work well at all. Would not recommend.
