FLYING Magazine for Android

You limit the number of issues, the app won’t allow reading offline, you tout the new feel of better paper… seriously? These are things that would be fixed by the old subscription and owners. My subscription is cancelled and Plane and Pilot is the beneficiary.

Very frustrated that I can’t read even the current issue via the app without clicking on each article one at a time. Might as well just surf the web. And the past issue library is completely gone. I stopped saving the paper issues some time ago because I thought I would always be able to access past articles online but now all the great past articles are gone. Very sad to lose the archive as many of those older articles were an aviation treasure.

This app really went downhill

The digital edition is a joke. The latest app revision made it so I couldn’t access my downloaded issues offline, so I deleted and reinstalled the app. Then it didn’t give me an option to restore my iTunes purchase. I e-mailed technical support a few days ago but no response yet. I called Flying customer support today but they said they don’t provide support for the digital app. Then they told me the e-Mail address I used was wrong (it was the one in the app) and proceeded to give me another e-mail address to contact them with. I’m about to contact Google and request a refund for my subscription. It’s pathetic. You guys could do so much better. It’s probably time for me to pull the plug for good until you decide to go back to monthly issues anyhow. So long Flying Magazine. I’ll stick to my monthly AOPA mags and maybe add Plane and Pilot instead.

What happened? I’d just like to read the magazine on my Mobile.. is this so difficult? After much frustration, I give up. Subscription canceled.. and I wish I could get a refund for the remaining few months, as I won’t be attempting to read this confusing and unstable app.
