Great app, but the battery?
I love this app. It allows me to read C/D issues from all the way back to 2010. But I have an odd issue with it.
It eats my battery like crazy. I don’t understand why. I’m not sure if all magazine apps are like this, but for me, it uses about 0.5-1% of my battery per minute. I have an iPhone 14, and it’s less than a year old. It shouldn’t drain this fast.
The Car and Driver app is really cool, but if you could sort out the battery-life issue, that would be great.
Thank you for your time.Show lessUnusable
Just subscribed digitally but unfortunately did not read recent reviews of the app. The app in iPad format fails miserably at the most basic level – displaying content. There's not much more to elaborate on, but when you see a blank screen rather than the content you're paying for, the app is basically unusable.Show lessDumpster fire
I chose to subscribe to the digital version of C&D to be environmentally friendly but the app is horrible. Half the time, the content is displayed without any images or CSS formatting, so it's just walls of bizarrely formatted text in Times New Roman. Then there's the problem that the app burns through battery power (and makes my phone uncomfortably hot) even when it's doing basically nothing. And there was a problem a few months ago where the links in the table of contents didn't work, making the app almost completely useless.
I'm going back to the paper version of the magazine the instant my subscription expires. The app is horrible.Show less
