Model Aviation Magazine for Android
This app won't load the latest issue but strangely is able to load prior issues....I'm always 30 days behind...running Android 6.0.1 on moto-G phone.
I installed this app on 2 different Android devices and it doesn't work on either of them. Nothing displays, nothing downloads. It broke when my devices installed Lollipop v5 (Back in mid-March) July 21 2015 Update: I finally got a response to the problem with the Digital Edition app for Android. It's been broken since the release of ver 5. (Lollipop). I called the phone number provided and got the standard call in tree. It's as broken as the Android app. No matter what number I push I eventually get "Com
Can't save any issues to view offline. Nor can I view after download offline. Still not able to save to read offline. Please fix this issue.
Why the heck does this need location information? Very unhappy in something I pay for snooping on me!
I read 1 article, got connected to one video, then pretty much everything was unavailable. Oh well, maybe next time
Not getting any better. The same issues are still there. I'm paying for this nothing is getting done. Not even a response. Not very professional. Need to have the ability to zoom or change the font when reading articles. The current font is very hard to read on a 7 inch tablet for us older folks. Also the saved and search icons dont do anything. A help section would be nice. Oops one more thing, when the the mag is saved to the device, where is it saved too, and how do you delete them or move them so you're not eating up the device memory. Thanks
Downloads are not available - what gives
I installed this app on 2 different Android devices and it doesn't work on either of them. Nothing displays, nothing downloads. It broke when my devices installed Lollipop v5 (Back in mid-March) July 21 2015 Update: I finally got a response to the problem with the Digital Edition app for Android. It's been broken since the release of ver 5. (Lollipop). I called the phone number provided and got the standard call in tree. It's as broken as the Android app. No matter what number I push I eventually get "Competition". It says the wait time is 1 minute. That's broken also. But, since I have a speaker phone, I just turn it on, turn up the volume, and wander around. Eventually, A woman picked up the phone and asks who I'm calling. I explain it's about the Digital Edition app being broken, she thanks me for waiting, then shunts me to voicemail. I don't know who owns the voicemail box, because I can't understand a word heshe says. So I left my phone number. Maybe someone will call.
Stopped working with Aug 2015 issue

Not working on galaxy tab 7.0. Worked last month now nothing. When i try to go to the web page via the app, it comes up web page not found. Something is broke.
Uninstall
Flawless as far as I can see :) offline problem has been resolved. Thank you!
Stopped working. Will not load mags and saved ones will not load anymore. Please fix. On a S4.
What good is a magazine that you must b online for to read. there is a tab 'saved' but it is empty. you need an active internet connection to read downloaded back issues.
Never download
After the new update, nothing works any more. This used to be great, now it sucks. On two different devices too.
Worked great first couple times . Then loads nothing happens or just renders
I loaded SIX issues in, went on vacation with my tablet and no wifi. Can not read any of them because I have no internet connection. Why bother with this? It does not work. I had to pay extra dues for this. Can I get a refund? What is the point of it?
Great when you're connected, but I'm surprised & disappointed that the offline problem still has not been resolved.
Sadly app requires a active working Internet connection to view magazine. I can't read when flying or without internet connection. Cannot zoom on pictures. Also no book mark features or screen rotation functionality. It does a great job otherwise.
Android OS. Can't save, can't read offline, can't search. Can only read with inet access. Hangs up on downloads. Can't zoom on individual articles unless I download entire mag.
So when it's connected to the Internet, it's a great app. But when I download an issue to my device, it says I still need to have a connection to view the "downloaded" issue. Hmm. Part of the benefit of downloading mags to the device is to view them when not connected. Hopefully this will be corrected.
This app does not work on my Samsung Android tablet. Also installed on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone and could not get it to work there as it wanted me to log on and my email address was not recognized. However can access via web.
I've been a member of the AMA for 42 years, and have been a computer programmer for 30 years. I develop and market Android apps myself. I think an app of this magnitude that works deserves five stars. I know how it feels for someone to throw out a one star rating before giving an app a chance. I would probably e-mail the developer about an issue before slapping a one star on it. It works great on my Samsung Galaxy Tab. I love the AMA and Model Aviation and wish only the best for the developer of this app. I'll make suggestions later some time in the future, and enjoy using this app in the meantime.
Besides this app crashing my HTC ReZound, it is so big and cantankerous, it is not worth ANY money. As a matter of fact, you should follow Model Airplane News and offer Digital Version FREE, when you are a magazine subscriber. I just CANNOT believe that the AMA doesn't have enough money to do this, offer it free AND do it right. A blemish on a great mag and organization. On the comment page (the one with the 21 reviews), there is NOT ONE update to any improvements, updates, upgrades... nothing, nada, zilch.
Yup, works nice.

Hello, I cannot zoom the magazine. the print is almost to small to read
I read 1 article, got connected to one video, then pretty much everything was unavailable. Oh well, maybe next time
Already a subscriber to print edition. Can access via web but not from Smartphone. Needs update!
Slow downloads. Would be nice to zoom in on ad pages Using galaxy note 3
Love this app
Disappointing.

OK the latest update is much easier to read, thanks. A couple of issues though. The at a glance info is being cut off. What happened to the click on Links? These were nice to have in the articles. You're getting there but more work still needs to be done. Going from 1 to 3 stars.
