User Reviews

Overall, Plane & Pilot's content is praised, but the iOS app is plagued by crashes, subscription/authentication issues, and reliability problems. Users report repeated crashes, failure to download or display issues despite subscriptions, library disappearing after updates, and prompts to restore purchases. Many rely on reinstalling the app to restore access, but support is seen as unresponsive or poor. Some say offline reading is not supported. A minority appreciate the magazine quality and a nicer app surface, but for many the digital experience is frustrating and unreliable.

Pros

High-quality magazine content
App design/interface is nice
Some users report reinstalling the app can restore access to previously purchased magazines as a workable workaround

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability that make the app unreadable (crashes every few seconds/minutes, or won't open)
App doesn't recognize subscriptions and keeps prompting to pay for each issue; restore purchases often fails
Library and new issues vanish or won’t download after updates, forcing online browser reading and preventing offline access
Uninstalling/reinstalling is often required to get new issues, indicating unreliable updates
Poor or unresponsive customer support (bot responses, blame-shifting, long delays)

Recent reviews

Another worthless app. No offline reading, which defeats the purpose of having a subscription. When you need assistance, P&P just can’t seem to find your email address. Of course, I’m sure they’ll be able to find all of my info when it comes time to renew my subscription!

So Plane and Pilot stopped mailing paper magazines to all subscribers and moved to a digital-only format. I install the app on my phone and table to be able to read the new issues, but no, the app is only for digital subscribers. I get the whole no publishing during COVID thing, but if you’re going to do that, at least provide a native mobile device experience (which already exists for digital subscribers). Don’t force me to read issues in a web browser.

After the new app installed itsself the complete library is gone and won’t restore. Even worse: no access to new issues with the app! The only way to get the issues: online reading through your browser. I will cancel the subscription.
