Ridiculous

It is extremely difficult to download the latest issue, even with the latest IO version in place. You have to do something about it.

your magazine app that i purchased through the apple app store cuts off and cuts back to your library every 10 minutes. i’ve done a number of app cancels and reloads over the past 4 months with no change. what gives - and yours is the only app that does it?? if your app doesn’t work then you should send the print version!!
Not good

First, understand that reviews older than 2017, apply to the previous app which was excellent! Automobile is a premium magazine. The previous app was a premium app. This is comparable to a pdf, with the added disadvantage that you have to put up with banner ads telling you to subscribe even though you have been a subscriber for over 20 years. You, also, have to put up with deleting the app multiple times a year in order to “fix” a problem the developer cannot otherwise resolve. This might be days or weeks after a magazine is found to be unreadable. Of course, while the previous app let you access any magazine going back many years, this one gives you around a years worth, no matter how long a subscriber. Sad, very sad, but I doubt the new publisher will change their decision, despite the need for a good digital product as people continue to move away from print. False economy! I read it less now because of the frustrations, especially the deleting, reinstalling and downloading the magazines, repeatedly required. At this writing, most lately required to read the March 2018 edition. My subscription, initiated when David E. Davis Jr. created the magazine, will end soon, and this time will not be renewed. Perhaps this detailed review will create a response more appropriate than the “tell us what’s wrong and we’ll help you ‘fix’ it”, again, and again, and again......................... April 6, 2018 update. It is interesting to me that, even after a long, thorough critique of this current Automobile App, I once again receive a “please tell us what’s wrong” message. Perhaps it is automated.

Terrible

Without question on of the worst apps I’ve ever seen for reading on an iPad. True junk. I can’t believe from one of the best auto mags comes one of the worst digital apps. I’ve got a four year subscription, and it is always a complete crap shoot on whether or not the app will even let me download an issue, without being pestered to purchase it again. Just terrible. Next time I’ll just stick with simply buying the print copy.
Best car magazine TERRIBLE app

I have been a subscriber since the beginning. Excellent writers, though I still miss David E. Davis. The photography is wonderful too, and an iPad shows it off well. However, the app is not technologically well designed, with frequent bugs and is frustrating to use, as a subscriber. For some reason, my latest copy will show the index of articles but NO content. The number of times I have been told to uninstall and reinstall to fix something is ridiculous. Sometime ago the app associated with the magazine was excellent, very interactive. I could look at my magazine library going back years, now I have about 12 months worth. This app is just a poorly designed pdf equivalent, with obnoxious banners telling me to subscribe, even though signed in with a subscriber account years old. Buy the magazine in a store, don’t use the app. It has gone from being state of the art to useless.
Great magazine, useless app

The app randomly deletes issues and the only way to get them back is to delete the entire app and start over. This is extremely frustrating. What’s the point of saving the issues for offline use when there’s a good chance you’ll have to download them when you want them? Following tech support’s instructions doesn’t help because this apparently isn’t an error that can be resolved by a refresh or signing in with different credentials. I’d gladly take the old version of the app that just displayed PDFs of the issues because at least I knew those issues would be there when I’m away from WiFi.
