Road & Track Magazine US App Reviews

Asks me to pay again over and over You need to fix this Ive already paid and many others have same issue

Now with bigger and better photos, and interactively enhanced page layouts.

Dont get app. Been waiting for 2 month unable to download new magazine. I have deleted and reinstalled multiple time. When you email them about support they keep telling you to delete and reinstall

Pros: easy navigation, great photos (with enough resolution for zooming), the handiness of digital portability, no trees died and (presumably) no chemicals were used during production Cons: more expensive than deals that may be found on the print version, the proof reading can be spotty (e.g. the occasional piece that ends mid-sentence with the rest of the story no where to be found - September 14 was a real gem in this department ) , most months you may have to logout/login to your subscription to avoid demands that you pay separately for each issue Bottom line: the convenience and portability are enough to keep me coming back but the app could use some work as well as a price cut, especially considering the ads are all still there

If I could rate it zero I would. I subscribed for a 6 month subscription through Hearst Magazines because they gave a better deal than going through iTunes. It still involved getting the app however. Well, the app will not stay loaded, it crashes after 3-4 seconds. the support link opens a dead sitepage, but I was able to find another page through the publisher. No response yet from them, and the subscription is supposed to auto-renew. Hopefully they may fix this, but in the meantime, do not download it!

I just switched from years of printed Road and Track to this iPad app and am super impressed at the easy way to navigate through the magazine and of course the pics look 100% better than print. I had the same print issue all day while in a (yawn) jury assembly room and barely thumbed through it. Switched to digital this evening made this same issue come alive and Im already getting more out of the issue than I ever did with print. It is so cool to swipe the cover to the left and view the back side of the magazine and go backwards, or click on an icon that gives you all the pages in miniature at the bottom so you can jump about. Love this and will never go back.

So far Im liking this

I agree this is an excellent app, and improves the magazine experience, when it works. I have been a subscriber to the printed magazine for many years, and let them convert me to the digital app version in July 2014 when they stopped the print magazine. Worked fine, until this month. I simply cant get the Dec/Jan version of the magazine to download to my iPad without a separate purchase, even though I am still a subscriber. Ive been back and forth with their technical people, to no avail. Right now the app is worth zero stars, and is useless to me.

Login failed. Password reset feature does not work; brings you to blank screen. So, cannot access purchased product.

I subscribe to Road and Tack and also Car and Driver. I also subscribe to both for hard copy. Thanks for a price break on both formats. Prefer digital copy so I can have collection on my iPad all year.

As a print customer for years for my medical office, I would love to have to the digital version on my iPad too included in the price of print version. Keep up with the times.

I purchased an issue to read a specific article, but the end of the article was not included in the issue. A contest without the winner in the article is useless. Poor quality, no one is checking the finished product. I contacted the publisher several times but they were not helpful and stopped communicating once they had to issue a refund. What a ripoff.

This and C & D are both horrible apps. Why doesnt the content all download at once? Dont try to download quickly before getting on a plane. You have to scroll through each stupid section to get it download. Wont renew either. Lame.

App works perfectly, and the content is always first-rate.

The preview is displayed in portrait mode, but the June issue I just paid for only displays in landscape. Why does everyone think I hold a magazine sideways?!? Glad I didnt subscribe.

Ive got digital edition subscriptions to Automobile Magazine and Grassroots Motorsports. Both of those digital editions work brilliantly, but I had heard R&T was a little behind in the game. Nicely pleased to see that theyve stepped up and made improvements so they are on par now with GRMs digital editions, and only a little behind Automobiles. Keep up the good work!

Road and Track reader since the 70s. This design captures the feel of the R&T community of enthusiasts without sacrificing any of the expectation for car eye candy!
