Road & Track Magazine US Reviews

An extraordinarily lazy effort

PhillyTG

This is the worst magazine app I've ever seen. The UI design is a train wreck. You cannot enlarge any image to full screen. It doesn't 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 they're doing. It also frequently crashes, even on a 3rd gen iPad. It won't even load on an original iPad. Great content. Horrible user experience.

Asks me to pay again over and over

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

Same Great Writting

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

Bad app

Docgonz

Don't 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

Much fun, very Fast

Convenient but not without flaws

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

This app stinks!

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!

Sweet Digital design

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 I'm 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.

Nice

So far I'm liking this

Currently Unusable

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 can't get the Dec/Jan version of the magazine to download to my iPad without a separate purchase, even though I am still a subscriber. I've been back and forth with their technical people, to no avail. Right now the app is worth zero stars, and is useless to me.
