User Reviews

Reviewers largely praise the magazine content but condemn the app experience. Repeated issues include crashes and login problems, inability to access or restore purchases, and lost offline reading capability after a major update. Many call for a rollback or major fixes, and some note weak support. Overall, the magazine remains valued, but the app’s current state undermines its usefulness and user trust.

Pros

High-quality magazine content that reviewers still value (two mentions: "Great magazine" and "I love the magazine").
Historically good app interface/performance before the recent update ( reviewers reference the old, better experience).

Cons

App crashes or won’t open on launch (recurrent across multiple reviews).
Login issues: cannot login or password reset problems (frequent in reviews).
Inability to access or restore previously purchased issues (repeated complaint across reviews).
No offline reading/storage after the update (offline access removed).
Post-update regression: slower performance, unattractive UI, and loss of saved/readable editions.

Recent reviews

The app used to work perfectly. Now it just won’t even open.

3 articles for over $40.00. Going to their site and registering for the trial period is just the same. It also is a rip off considering once you go through the process of submitting your information you can’t enter the site as described. I even used my alternate email and once again it Indicated my log in information was incorrect. I wrote it down to make sure I was submitting the correct ID and Password but once again it was rejected when trying to log in. I will delete this app and go elsewhere for train related content sites.

April is the last issue available, no May or June issues available despite subscription. Fix this now please, as there are paid subscriptions that are not being fulfilled.
