Car and Driver Magazine US Reviews

Was good now not so much

Went down hill fast. Used to have multimedia and that disappeared. Now it can only work in portrait mode and is now only a smaller version of the print edition. Why bother.

Don't like the big PDF

Now this is like Motor Trend-was liking the original digital version. Won't renew.

Cheap, Lousy App

Disgustedios8

App went from fantastic interactive to cheap page scan. At least one article was cut off in scan process. Subscription renewal is cancelled.

The digital mag was so good when it was an interactive version, but now....nothing but a scan of the magazine. What a letdown. I can understand the need to get more ads in front of us, but to take away the interactive features is a significant mistake, and eventually a costly one...to you. To echo what others are saying - why pay extra for so little benefit? I have nearly forty years with this magazine and now I'm worried that won't be around a year from now. This level of cheapness is not a good sign.

I guess they thought it was too much trouble

Before the February issue, the ipad version of the magazine was somewhat modified to be easier to read on the iPad. With February, they must have decided that it was too much trouble and now it's basically a PDF file of the magazine. I'll give them a while to go back to putting some effort into making it readable again, but won't renew if they don't.

Car and Driver

I love Car and Driver. The magazines are very well written. A portrait mode for the app would be awesome. If it had it I'd give it a 5. Update: Ahh, for some reason I love portrait. Five.

new layout

networkguy923

the new layout is a huge step backwards, it's just like reading a scanned pdf now. it's particularly horrible on the iPad mini, most of the text is barely legible

Love it, hate the bugs

I love the magazine, I've been a subscriber since about 1995. But the app won't let me download magazines sometimes. It'll ask me to buy one even though I'm logged in. So I have to log out every time and log in again. Not a huge deal but annoying. Also, it would be nice if when I enlarge pics to read stats if I could still flip to the next page without having to minimize the window again. Also a small issue, but annoying if I have to do that on every page. I still love the magazine and will continue to buy it. But please try to address these if possible.

Terrible since early 2016 update

Longtime c&d reader

This magazine used to release each issue in a great format optimized for tablets. Unfortunately, in early 2016 the format was switched to what is essentially a simple PDF - none of the interactive graphics or articles advertised are left. The new issues since do not automatically scale or adapt properly for an iPad at all. At this rate I wouldn't recommend a digital subscription as many articles are basically illegible. Unless they change back to the original format soon, I'll be canceling my subscription soon as well.

Great App

Love this app. It is a must have for all gear heads.
