### 1/5 — Joke

*2026-08-08, version 29.0*

So supremely confident in their offering, you get all of “5 minutes to explore.” Deleted.

### 1/5 — Subscription mayhem

*2026-03-25, version 29.0*

Subscription not providing access.

### 5/5 — Bike to the sea

*2025-05-06, version 28.0*

Very good been a cyclists along time ago

### 1/5 — Login impossible

*2024-05-27, version 26.0*

I login with Google on the website but that option is not available in the app. So I reset my password, still can’t login.

### 1/5 — Frustrating site and app

*2024-05-14, version 26.0*

I paid, set up my ID and password on the website. I signed in and keep getting the paywall over and over. I thought perhaps the app will work better than the site? I installed the app and now it will not sign me in with the website ID and password. Very frustrating. 

Also, now the paywall is offering a less expensive subscription price than I just paid 10 minutes ago. And on top of all that it is going to auto renew and there doesn’t seem to be anyway to change that and the only way to contact them is via email. Customer service is non existent. Very frustrating!

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2023-11-01, version 26.0*

Can access the web site after successfully logging on

### 1/5 — Does not give you full access

*2023-08-30, version 26.0*

Does not give you full access to web based material.

### 1/5 — I can’t get in

*2023-08-25, version 26.0*

About half the time I can’t open your posted articles.  I’m paying lots of money and I expect things to work right.

### 1/5 — My app won’t allow me to see content

*2022-12-10, version 26.0*

All of a sudden, my app stopped working. I reached out to CD 2 times and am still waiting for a response a week later.

### 5/5 — Bicycling On Facebook

*2022-08-21, version 26.0*

So now that I have subscribed I can read the articles posted on Facebook?
