Road & Track Magazine US App Reviews

Unattractive interface. No preview. Forces portrait mode when buying. ONE issue? Theres 2 options: buy the one issue we have available or subscribe. It the scene from Goodfellas... "#!@$ you, pay me." Cmon guys.

The app will only allow you to Buy ISSUES nothing is free here. Id rather just get the real magazine

Please add support for the new iPad retina display; text looks very pixelated. Occasionally the app does not let you turn the page and you need to enter page view mode to get unstuck.

dont buy, get this magazine from Zinio. For the exact same price you get WAY MORE content, with special features, extra pictures, videos. This app has no special content. It is a real disappointment, and for the same money at Zinio you get so much more. What a shame!

Disappointing. Far behind other tablet magazines. Hard to read - basically a PDF version of the magazine. Useless iPhone scans to further review programs - why would I be viewing on my iPad and then getting more detail with a phone. Very few direct web links. The content is good - always has been but little has been done for iPad use. On top of that, its more expensive than mags many time better.

Like others have said, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP, or if you do, dont subscribe through it. Download Zinio and get the magazine through there. The Zinio version actually has playable videos and extra photos...it links to web links and is clearer to read. It amazes me that R&T would come up with an app thats inferior to the magazine they it up on Zinio...they obviously will correct as they move forward, but wait for version 3.0 or later for a better experience. Wasted my money subscribing through this app...wish I had read the reviews and bought through Zinio first...

As a 30 year subscriber to Road & Track, I find it ridiculous that I have to pay for an iPad subscription in addition to my paper subscription. Come on R & T, the Atlantic Magazine includes a free iPad subscription with their paper subscription, why dont you?

Like to cancel the magazine dont like your service .Thanks H.Mueller.

I have three iPad magazine subscriptions and R&T is by far the most poorly executed. Ill start with the library interface. This is the one subscription that seems to lock up the most when opening. It simply will not load sometimes. Next, where is the pizzaz? There are no features like in app videos or even article scrolling within a single page. I may as well have the paper magazine. Very poor utilization of the technology available.

This app is very frustrating due to inconsistent user interface controls. On my iPad 2 I need to zoom each page, double tap does that but not where you want it to and leaves the menu open at the bottom requiring another single tap. Ok, now if the drag feature always worked this would be livable, but sometimes it just refuses to move the page around, forcing multiple zoom in/out operations. Sometimes when zoomed you can swipe to the next page, sometimes you need to zoom out first. In the last issue a large number of pages did not sharpen after zooming in, making them nearly impossible to read. I just dont understand how these things havent been addressed. When it works as it should its not bad, but so inconsistent you dont know what the next page will do. Also really needs to allow you to stay zoomed when flipping pages.

I dont even have a R&T subscription on my iPad, much as I love the redesign, mostly because every time I try to open it in newsstand, it closes again after a few seconds. I have the same issue with another car mag from the same publishers - obviously theres a flaw in their app coding. A good thing Ive never bought the digital subscription. They recently issued an update that was supposed to contain bug fixes; bad news, guys - it doesnt work.

Since i bought a subscription, everytime i open the magazine it always turn off after 2 seconds... Please, cant you put up a new update to fix this issue? Id like to read and look at your magazine...

I was not expecting such a pleasing experience. Worth the price. Dont be afraid to try it.

Theyre right - R&T for iPad is gloriously colorful and detailed. But why do you make your print subscribers pay for the so-called "upgrade"? Cmon, Hearst, nobody likes paying twice for the same content. I get an automatic access to my Macleans Magazine iPad edition when I subscribe to the print issue. Do us a favor and change your policy - feels like a cash grab.

Overly difficult to find new issues

Not sure why but updated app per your suggestion and now cant open at all. Keeps closing out of launch screen. Not happy that Ive paid for this.

I dont rate apps...ever...until now. This new Road & Track app is great. Love the new interface, allowing/encouraging to tap on the pics to get more detail, the way the articles flow within the page as opposed to simply turning the pages sequentially. Great job folks!

This is my first iPad mag subscription and I love it! I travel extensively and use racetracks and driving schools as my lecture sites...so I do love cars. While I love to see my hard copy mag on the coffee table...I am rarely there with it! This pad subscription allows me to take my mag, without packing anything extra...read all about it! Brilliant!!!!!!

The latest version is incredibly slow to load on both my iPad 2 and my iPad mini. Once the latest issue is downloaded its almost impossible to read as each page takes forever to load. I miss the older versions where each page was displayed just as it is in the print version.

The first magazine I read was in the early 80s(age 4). On the cover were the 917, 924, 944, 911 (maybe a 928) all in red driving towards the photographer. Been a subscriber since and just recently a proud new Porsche owner. This medium is just as good as paper. Enjoy.
