Great magazine let down by weak app
I love 220 Tri magazine but the online experience just doesn’t match the physical magazine.
Good Content
Great content and variety covering all areas of Triathlon from beginner to expert. New layout is a little confusing and I would prefer the old magazine layout but just a minor issue.
Rubbish app - I’ll resort back to paper
I assumed this would replicate the paper magazine but on my ipad. I couldn’t have been more wrong - when it works it’s clunky and difficult to navigate. And having downloaded a full issue to read offline I open the app to find that it’s been ‘offloaded’ again. And then even with a good connection the download speed is prohibitively slow. Hopeless!

Great content but a horrible app to use
I really the magazine itself but the usability of the app on both iPad and iPhone is horrible!
Missing content
The new layout is ok for me although I prefer the previous “real mag” feel, even if it was buggy. I read on my iPad not my phone but I can see if you only have a small screen it may be easier now (why not offer 2 versions though?). But most importantly, there is content missing. Where are the race listings? How about the summary of recommended kit by type and price? Probably other things too. Please sort it out.

Appalling update
New version of this app is really buggy - downloads don’t work properly, sections with “Tap for More” don’t work, content is missing etc.
Support woeful...have to wait days for them to tell you to uninstall app and reinstall, and then have to go through redownloading all editions, only to hit another bug....and repeat.
Thinking about cancelling subscription and going back to paper it’s that bad.

Great magazine but awful design
I love reading on the iPad as if its the magazine and I have to say I enjoy the adverts and overall layout of a magazine, all that is gone in the new design. Feels more like a blog now. I will be withdrawing the subscription and purchasing the physical copy.
Back issues not available as advertised
I subscribed for 1 year in order to be able to access last year worth of back issues, however only current issue is available. I filled out Survey Monkey form provided to ask for assistance on Friday, today on Wednesday I am still waiting for someone to acknowledge the problem or contact me. If content I paid for is not available in the next few days I will be canceling the subscription.

Not renewing subscription
Changes to this app have made it impossible to use offline. When I first signed up I could download an issue and read it offline, this is not the case now. Very disappointing 🤔
Rubbish-lots of download issues
Rubbish App, it takes so long to download even on a fast connection, and never quite completes. I have to refresh is several times to keep it downloading, then it gets stuck on 99%.
One plus point, the articles are presented quite well once you can view them. Although next time you open the App you have to download the issue all over again, completely pointless!
Even though it only cost me 99p subscription, I can’t help but think there’s a lot of people like me who will buy it, realise it’s rubbish and delete the app.

Poor download issue
Signed up for the trial subscription but unable to get the first Feb issue to work.
Seems to get stuck or go really slow around 58-65%. Never completes the download but it just starts downloading gigabytes and gigabytes and fills all iPhone/iPad space. Something very wrong with the app and a waste of a purchase. Please check what is going wrong with your app.

Latest update terrible
The latest update is atrocious. Pay for an issue and it takes ages to download and doesnt run in the background. It is SO slow to download as well. Go back to the old edition because this stinks.
New update
They have tried to be to clever with the new update. Instead of being able to flick through the magazine they have broken it up into separate articles.
Great magazine in general but I won’t be subscribing to the app anymore I’ll buy the hard copy of the magazine.

Poor!
Poor implementation.
It says “tap for more” but nothing happens. Is something supposed to happen?
Takes a LOT longer to download a magazine - for very little reward.
... and once it is downloaded I still need an internet connection to read it - what’s the point of me downloading it if I can’t access it offline?
Needs a massive rethink - it’s not consumer friendly.

New update is awful
I paid to have the magazine on my iPad. I hate the new update that displays the magazine as a website.
Must tri harder
Really weak interface. The app is just pdf scans of the magazine so it is almost illegible on iPhones so you have to zoom in on the columns you are reading. You are better off buying the print editions.
App is not up to scratch
Love the content but the app is little more than a pdf. This needs to be designed for consumption on phone or tablet rather than a magazine
Very good and improved.
Improved on previous version. Still have a fault and cannot be rectified resulting in me having to archive issues and re-downloading to read.
Fantastic mag - improved legibility would be a bonus
Love the content but legibility on iPad mini / iPhone could be improved. A dedicated and font size adjustable layout rather than straight copy of paper magazine might help... Obviously can zoom with 2 fingers which is what I’ve been doing but this is a bit clunky. You can double tap to zoom quickly as well but this zooms too far! Perhaps as an in-between this double tap zoom level could be reduced or adjustable?
My reference point is Cyclist magazine which is much easier to read (powered by PugPig).
Sorry to go on - still a great magazine for everything triathlon!
