  1. 5/5AFR app is worth the download.

    Works well for flights: downloads all the text of the paper before you board so you can read offline. Pictures aren't downloaded however.

  2. 5/5Finally!

    Finally AFR is available for the iPad! The interface is pretty user friendly and navigation is pretty easy. Much better than having to see the paper through a browser window (the previous business model). This way you can download the current paper, jump on a flight and continue read away.

  3. 1/5Subscriptions don’t work

    The app will charge you for a subscription but then give you a “data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format” error. When buying a subscription online the restore password feature never sends a reset email

  4. 1/5Takes over audio unnecessarily

    Stops playing audio in music or podcast player when launching app. There is no reason for an app with written material to take over audio on first launch without waiting to see if the user wants to access audio or video content.

  5. 1/5App keeps crashing

    The app keeps crashing. When it does work it is very slow to download content, and only has a limited range of stories versus the hardcopy. Unless they fix it I will be deleting my subscription.
