Terrible

App crashes and downloads crash as well. I havent been able to read my online magazines in 4 months. Just terrible.

Unprofessional

Everything about is app is highly disappointing. Crash. Kablam! No download after payment, and worse. Automated customer care email shows how much R&T cares.... Not at all.

Tom

You guys should be embarrassed. As a publication that focuses on the most technologically advanced automobiles on the planet, your electronic delivery of content trails all of your competitors....

Grade: B-

This is based on the Oct2013 issue. I have noticed that each month since I gave this iPad version of R&T a *not*recommended summary review, the Hearst staff has been on a noticeable upward climb on improving this Mag/App. I am beginning to see potential for excellence here. The graphics are better. It is starting to include more interactives. But... *It needs more videos/sound... *It needs more animations, and the animations integrated into the app interface... *It needs a sound integrated interface (and for all the Hearst mags BTW)... *It needs a more competitive pricing strategy (I wont repeat my previous comments , but you get the idea.

Not a fan any longer

Im very unhappy with this latest update. Ive been a print subscriber for years and the thought of having the digital edition was intriguing. I liked the first digital issue but its taken me awhile to return. Now that I have the latest version it doesnt recognize my old account or email yet I still get emails from the the magazine. Thats lame.

App worthless.

Print subscription doesnt include iPad sub. Therefore, worthless. They want to charge more for digital than original subscription.

Worthless!

Pointless

Eh

Its an over all good magazine but Im biased because there was a lot if Audi r8 photos.

Cant download

Worthless it cant even download

Brilliant content & design marred by horrible subscription experience

It is the worst to have bought something. (Subscription, automatically renewed), be charged for it, not get it and be thrown i to chaos to resolve it. It doesnt matter how good your content is (among the best and my favorite) if you cant get the business part right. Very disappointed and frustrated.

Great content, horrible subscriber experience

I have subscribed to this app since 2012, and every once and a while it decides for itself what Im able to dowload. It denied me access to older issues and lately it has been denying me access to the latest issues, so as of right now I cant read the last six issues. But yet they have had access to my bank account all this time. I know the subscription is not expensive, but I would like to read what I have paid for.

R&T

I cant understand all the bad reviews! I have nothing but praise for this app. I use it on my iPad mini and have no problems. Its faultless.

Confused

Dont understand the low ratings. Worked perfectly for me on iPad mini retina.

sir

Too bad about the downloading problems.No problem for me on my IPhone except real small to read but that is my problem. Even with the biasis always good to read R&T when travelling.

Bad

This magazine is a load of garbage dont buy

One of the worst mag apps around

Twice it has lost my subscription. Extremely clunky to restore. The use experience in the app is marginal at best. Not worth it. Better to get the info from many great motoring sites.

auto renew screw

As others have mentioned, I also got screwed by the ridiculous high renewal rate, the magazine yearly subscription is $8 to renew…..was charged $21 total for as the others describe as an inferior image and clarity. I will not be renewing and watch for the rip-off!

You have to subscribe

Its a waste of storage dont get it if you want to see the whole thing you have to subscribe. 2.If you dont like paying dont waste time getting it. 3.Why do you need to pay to see the whole time and it doesnt really have a big enough preview for people to really want to buy it.

Crashes on original iPad

Just upgraded to version 3.1.1. of this app (trying / hoping to not got through the annoying situation in the previous version where it kept asking me to purchase issues that I was already entitled to via digital subscription. Well, not I cannot even launch the app! The app info says it supports my iOS version , but I dont think so!

An extraordinarily lazy effort

This is the worst magazine app Ive ever seen. The UI design is a train wreck. You cannot enlarge any image to full screen. It doesnt even attempt to switch to landscape mode, yet half of the articles require an awkward scrolling motion. Some articles scroll down, others vertically. Whoever designed this has absolutely no idea what theyre doing. It also frequently crashes, even on a 3rd gen iPad. It wont even load on an original iPad. Great content. Horrible user experience.
