Utterly Useless!

If MR is trying to go out of business then this app is a wonderful step in that direction. I am totally astonished that they would release an app this terrible! Did no one ever bother to test this thing? The update to this textbook example of how NOT to write an app has been up for 11 months and no one has bothered to fix this? Good bye Model Railroader! If you cannot take care of your customer base then you don’t deserve to have any customers.

Needs a Lot of Work!

The latest version of this app is a step backwards. While I have been able to restore and view my purchases, I have not been able to purchase a single issue since the update. When I attempt to purchase a single issue, I am often only given options to subscribe, or frequently no options at all. There are no features to view/filter on your purchases or downloads. Scrolling thru the list of available issues is buggy and slow. On top of all this, my requests to customer support have never been answered. I’m using a 32GB iPad (7th gen) with IOS 13.1.1

Really, really bad

This version is much worse than the previous. It’s so bad that this is the first review I have ever submitted for any iPhone app...and I have used some pretty bad apps. I currently use an IPhone 8 Plus...the app crashes back to a main screen while trying to load. If it does load, it doesn’t load all of the past issue covers and when I click to download or read an issue, it freezes. It’s enough to just not bother with Model Railroader mag any more.
