HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (2.8 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ 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…

30 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Also it crashes if you try to press the top right button (I thought that would expand the view) but crashes on all iOS devices.
★★★★★ Flying is an excellent print magazine, with insightful tips, stories, lessons, and makes all of us better pilots. This app is the exact opposite. It looses downloads after updates, and dropped ability to view…

★★★★★ The help articles are equally useless.

Disappointing Update

The new app removed the ability to make single issue purchases and I was unable to restore any purchased issues prior to 2023. I would still purchase single issues but will never pay $50 for a subscription. Seems like a poor move on the part of the new publisher.

★★★★★Oct 9, 2025
New App needs work

My subscription is with Flying magazine thru 2027. New app version wants be to subscribe or buy the current issue. Logging in gets be issues from 2022 and 2023, nothing this year. I wish I could go back to prior version. That recognized my account.

★★★★★Jan 16, 2025
Not great

Been a Flying subscriber since the 80s. This digital app could be much better. The biggest annoyance is the 2+ weeks delay from notice of new issue to availability on this app. Why such a long wait in digital times!?

★★★★★Dec 2, 2024
Review

I wish they would allow the readers to purchase hard copies of the back issues they have missed, if they allow the reader to purchase hard copies of back issues they don’t make it easy too!

★★★★★May 21, 2024
Horrible app

Worthless app. No way to read offline (for those times when you would really like to read a magazine because the Wi-Fi is down on your 14-hour transpacific flight). There is also no way to restore a purchase once the app has decided that you’re no longer allowed to access your paid subscription. Removed app and canceled subscription.

★★★★★Oct 31, 2023
New owner has ruined a once great publication

Long time subscriber. Enjoyed the hard copy version the most. The latest owner has reduced content and raised prices. I still decided to stay. I subscribed to the email version back in June 2023. I received one email link to one edition. That’s it. So I called in October and a recording stated to call back because the phone system was being updated. I emailed requesting a refund. No response. Summation of new owner: raise prices, cut content and ignore your subscribers when they contact you. I’m done. The end of a once great publication.
