Just being able to pick up the tablet and jump into the magazines at any time is great.

Love this app. So I first got it about a year ago and up till then had struggled with identifying as a train enthusiast. None of my friends or family appreciate a locomotive in the same way I do, and always have. Often I would feel lonely and isolated on platforms and hated the rude comments that do occasionally come our way. But then jump forward and genuinely this app has brought me happiness and like-minded friends. It's given me way more confidence to stand on platforms.

App is vastly improved in the last couple of years. Earlier problems resolved and works fine on my Android 9 tablet. Good content too, with some superb photography and illustrations. A much, much better experience than of old.

This app is installed on my computer, but it will not run on it It will on my mobile but nearly impossible to read Also it only goes to about 4 pages, stops and tells me to buy the digital mag again. It is not that useful, and I shall seek redress. This is a great shame as the mag is great. I had to buy digital as they did not tell me that my sub had stopped and when I queried that no mags had arrived for 2 months they said I could buy back issues. Guess what ? They had no copies left, so I thought digital would be quick. With the experience I have had. , an expensive mistake Come on Bauer how about getting a grip !!!!!

Always problems downloading the magazines and as most of my kit is PC based I cant read the magazine on a Windows environment. Shame as the magazine is great
★☆☆☆☆Andrew Game· Apr 8, 2024
Woeful app. Will not allow me to access the magazine issues despite the fact that I have paid for a subscription and have a customer number. Continually asked to log in - why? When I set up my account, there was no option to give my customer number. Have cancelled my subscription and shan't be taking out another any time soon. Avoid.

Rubbish, does not allow me read magazine on Huawei medipad T5 even though Bayer said its compatible. Bayer was no help in fixing it, would not talk to me on the phone and has now stopped conversing on email too. Unprofessional company. Don't use it.
