| 2024-09-17 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-05-08 |  | | excellent modelling articles! |
| 2023-12-24 |  | | Absolute rubbish App. One week on from receiving it as a gift and still can't access content. Keeps asking you to log in when you are logged in. Takes days to get a response and still no help. Don't waste your money on this, it's rubbish. They will probably respond to this with the usual "we are sorry to hear that you are having trouble blah blah", just get the App sorted. |
| 2023-10-01 |  | | Model Rail is awesome, it's the app that the rating is for. I often can't get a signal and the offline experience is very hit and miss. Take this weekend for instance up in North Wales no signal and the app just refused to work. Drives me madd!!!!! |
| 2022-08-01 |  | | Great reading. Lots of articles that contain drawings and photos of what you like. |
| 2022-05-20 |  | | I have purchased the magazine for the first time in about 2years and was pleasantly surprised by its content as I now have BRM delivered monthly for the last three/4 years 😀 |
| 2021-12-21 |  | | Only works on my phone which has a 6" screen, still unreadable. No support for fire devices and from what i have heard it does not work on Windows either. Bit of a con to be honest |
| 2021-12-21 |  | | Good reader, search is very poor, not much use of technology, it's mostly the print version in pdf form. No hyperlinks! No copy-n-paste either. |
| 2021-10-27 |  | | Warning! As soon as your subscription finishes you'll lose all of your purchases. You'll be left with nothing to read and no email support from them. |
| 2021-09-24 |  | | Pity this app does not work if you subscribe through Pocketmags like BRM and Hornby Magazine do. Still a subscriber so why can't we use the app? |
