### 5/5 — Car and driver

*2026-03-22, version 26.0*

Great informative car news

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-03-18, version 26.0*

Wouldn’t let me log in. Tried to email and got no response.

### 1/5 — App crashes all the time and needs to have purchases restored on active subscription.

*2026-01-30, version 26.0*

Love the magazine, but the app is horrible, crashes all the time and can’t even believe it has a restore purchases button because they can’t keep track.  Garbage. Please rewrite.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2026-01-23, version 26.0*

I have had a subscription to this magazine for several years. However, after some IOS updates it is now broken. Each time I open the app I have to go to Settings and restore my purchases or it will otherwise charge me for my magazines or lock them. It also tends to show only a white page after a page turn and get stuck. This requires me to close the app and reopen it to continue reading. Very frustrated!

### 5/5 — The best car mag

*2026-01-11, version 26.0*

Relevant to my interests.  Well written, good quantitative info and charts/graphs.
And, they have Ezra!

### 1/5 — Great magazine, horrible app!

*2025-11-10, version 26.0*

I have to close the app and relaunch every 5 minutes. Tough to read one article without restarting.

### 1/5 — Great magazine,garbage app

*2025-10-24, version 26.0*

The app has had the same issue across two different iPads for years so it is the app.  Often when you flip pages  the new page is blank.  You must exit the app and re-enter to restore the missing page.

Today I tried PDF view.  It fixes the white page problem but instead adds a scroll bar that blocks the content.  Please fix the app or tell me how to get rid of the scroll bar.

I tried sending this to tech support for the app and keep getting an error.

### 2/5 — Shoddy app

*2025-10-05, version 26.0*

I have had a digital subscription for years, but every month I’m unable to log into the app. I have to uninstall and reinstall to open it. Great magazine, shoddy app.

### 1/5 — Awful and frustrating

*2025-08-26, version 26.0*

This is the worst app. After a few pages, it just freezes. I have to close the app and restart and then be careful to avoid the pages that cause problems. Also sometimes doesn’t recognize that I’m a subscriber.

### 5/5 — Hilarious

*2024-12-06, version 24.0*

I like the layout and how funny it is
