AOPA iPad app

Does anyone have the AOPA iPad app to view their magazine subscription? I am having a lot of issues with mine and have become very frustrated with it. It won't load any other issue but the initial issue I downloaded in January. I am on the verge of canceling the electronic version and going back to normal paper. Anyone have experience with this app and know how to use it properly?

It is not the most intuitive app. Make sure you have the latest version as many of the bugs were fixed. Mine works reliably without any problems.

AOPA just announced an app for the phone and ipad that will do flight planning and weather etc.
Probably worth taking a look at.

Flying is dangerous. If you think otherwise, you are new at this sport. Mind the gravity not the gap.

Tried deleting the app completely and reinstalling. Soon as I signed in, it immediately loaded January's edition and won't load any others. I am about to throw my iPad through the wall I am so annoyed.

Re: AOPA iPad app

It is broken for me as well, only loads a single issue.

I develop for iOS and Android, and although it is attractive the functionality is bad. This is a textbook case of releasing an app way too early so it can get a bad reputation.

Hope they do better next version.

Good to know I am not the only one having problems. I just want my last three issues!

Re: AOPA iPad app

Have you called AOPA to let them know abou this? Or emailed them? I've found customer service to be pretty good there.

I just started using the new flight planning app from AOPA over the weekend: flyQ by AOPA. Seems to be a really slick app.
