Wish the app was better
This App is so bad I will probably end subscription before having a year. It’s a bit sad because I love the content but don’t want a bunch of magazines laying around.g7gbme
Swipe still not working for March 2018 issue
Got the latest update on March 8. Swiping is still broken for the March 2018 issue (it’s working for the February issue).
I’m on the latest iOS on iPhone X.Hugoferdl
Not working!!
Can not pass the pages, you have to go back to the cover and tap on a highlight to go to the page and then you are stuck there.Gaspass
I’ve had issues in the past, but love the interface now.
I have been using the Car and Driver app for several years now. The simple PDF-like version was cumbersome to maneuver. This one makes sense for an electronic version. I love the way that you can continuously scroll from the beginning to the end of an article. It also is great how you can leave the app and hours or days later come back to it and it remembers where you left off.
There are a few minor quirks in scrolling. Sometimes I tap to scroll and it thinks I double tapped and zooms in. Another thing I struggle with is how to get the title & navigation bars to disappear so I can see the full screen. Other than that it’s perfect. And the Car and Driver content is always awesome.Show lessCREated59
Absolutely terrible navigation
Awful. Impossible to navigate in a logical manner I honestly can’t even figure out how to read one of the latest comparison test. I see the title page of the test but no matter how I try I can’t scroll to the content using any gestures that makes sense.Loopless
Latest update ruined this app
The latest update changed the interface. Now the articles scroll vertically!?! The links are too easy to hit, scrolling is buggy, and the app is sluggish with this latest update. I saw nothing wrong with the old PDF-like presentation; this is, after all, simply supposed to be a digital representation of a physical magazine. Please get rid of this overly-complicated and sluggish interface and bring back the old PDF-style magazine.Show lessneed_my_wiki
Too easy to click on ads! Horrible new interface
Guys this is the worst. We spend money on a digital edition and every other page I'm clicking on an ad by mistake. Please over haul the entire UI - this one is just awful.WookieeNerd
Oh no - here we go again!
The app was recently updated and they went back to the old, crappy way of presenting the magazine. The UI is confusing and inconsistent. Most of the links do not work.
In addition, all of my downloaded editions were deleted with this update! That includes all of the favorites I bookmarked. Worse, the space used by the old editions was not freed up. To do that I had to delete and reinstall the app. All this with no advanced notice of all the changes.
I really liked the previous, simpler version.Show lessrdevillers
Love the printed version...
I have a retina iPad so there is no reason for this app to run as poorly as it does. I have tried to read the current issue over and over again only to have it crash so many times that i cant even read a single multi page article all the way through. Incredibly disappointing and honestly confusing based on the implementation of multimedia and animations being comparatively limited compared to popular mechanics and other magazines. As a subscriber to the print version for over a decade this implementation is poor enough that i feel swindled and less likely to subscribe again. I feel swindled not because of a initial poor release that often happens when dipping your toes in a new medium, but rather the constant inability to address customer complaints about the bugginess of the app that indicates that Hearst does not care about their customers.
I honestly rarely rate apps poorly, and do so in the hope that they will get their act together.Show lessJames Dewey
Theft
Today, I bought the Car & Driver iPad app, decided to download the February 2013 issue of Car & Driver, confirmed my in-app purchase for $4.99, and have found that Car & Driver has taken my money, and in return, have given me absolutely nothing. I have gotten no notice of it downloading, and the only thing I have noticed was that the button to buy the issue turned grey. I did all possible things. I tried restoring the information using the "Missing Issues" button, and tried what the app claimed was downloading the issue again. No progress. Do not buy this app.
Ok, actually maybe buy this app. I have sent an email stating the problem to car and driver, and they have fixed the problem for me, however, I have run into another problem in which the February 2013 issue download status remains at "0% pending..." Hopefully, Car & Driver will fix this issue as easily as they fixed the last one.
I would rate this app two and one half stars if I could.Show lessHowfastcanagrowndhogchewwood
