New version won’t load

I can no longer use the app since the latest version was installed. It will no longer load. Apparently only way to report an issue is by opening the app and clicking report an issue! Any guidance gladly welcomed

PDF at last

After almost two years of the new format for the iPad, they have at least offered the older easier to read PDF format, just in time for me to renew my subscription

App update not compatible with my iPad

I have just discovered after wondering why the October edition of the magazine wasn’t available the the latest Top Gear App update isnt compatible with my iPad OS and I have the latest software update on it.

Can not find your details

This app membership was offered after my print sub failed during Covid. Useless because it won’t recognise my login details.

Poor

Subscription worth it, just such a poor app you can’t make the most of it. Doesn’t recognise my subscription, so have to logout then login to even read an edition every time open the app or switch to another month. Such a letdown, get a print subscription instead

New Version not Great

So the app asked for a new review so here it is.

Downloading an issue doesn’t work properly, and it still won’t remember your place in the magazine.

If you want a higher mark than one star developers, how about fixing fairly glaring errors that were never prevalent until you decided it needed a new look.

New design

Content is great but the new design isn’t the best

Poor Quality App

App is confusing and not at all user friendly. The subscription policy is unreliable and I know that I will not re-subscribe, although it has cut me off from my subscription two months early thus preventing me from viewing the last paid for editions.

The content of the magazine itself is ok, although the writing is at times so pretentious to be unreal.

App RUINED by last update

Latest update ruined what was a perfectly good app. Can’t make it go to landscape mode (most convenient way to read in my opinion) and turning pages got slow and irresponsive. Will not renew my subscription

Latest software is frustrating

The old downloadable magazine was a solid performer and took minimal space on a modern smartphone. The latest is slow, reliant on connectivity even in download form with frequent request timeouts interrupting.
The “specials” content is great but the reading format seems to be incompatible with a smartphone and is forever scaling and hard to read.
Shame as general content is very good.
