Comments on Model Rail Magazine for Android

★★★★★ CorsaTam Gault · Nov 14, 2020

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

★★★★★ Colin Taft · Feb 11, 2021

Brilliant app lets me come and go when need to and keeps my place, so I know how far I've got into the mag

★★★★★ Christopher Jordan · May 20, 2022

I have purchased the magazine for the first time in about 2 years and was pleasantly surprised by its content as I now have BRM delivered monthly for the last three/4 years 😀

★★★★★ Alex Dean · Sep 17, 2024

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.

★★☆☆☆ Vincent Cushing · Nov 30, 2020

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 !!!!!

★☆☆☆☆ Clifford Ison · Sep 24, 2021

Pity this app does not work if you subscribe through Pocket mags like BRM and Horny Magazine do. Still a subscriber, so why can't we use the app?
