I have updated the app and clicked on ‘restore all purchases’. Still no luck. Even ‘send a message or feedback’ button within the app has not been implemented correctly. You must test your app before putting it in App Store. ### 1/5 — Appallingly bad *2019-12-12* Paid extra to have digital and had nothing but problems downloading all but the first issue. No response from support, been about 3 months now! **Developer response:** Hi Hamish2019, thanks for contacting us here. We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble downloading your issues. I understand you had bad experience with customer support but could you please contact us directly at appsupport_uk@bauermedia.com. We will make sure you can access all the material you paid for and will be able to enjoy the digital magazines. Kind regards ### 1/5 — Rubbish!!! *2013-05-18* Downloaded this onto my iPad and have been very disappointed!!! It will only allow me to read half of the magazine and the navigation buttons at the bottom don't seem to work and so I have to flick through from page 1 every time. Will not be downloading this again!!!! Feel very ripped off!! ### 1/5 — Should be a lot cheaper *2013-05-13* There is no need to rip people off, no proper sample issue, no interactivity, so why would you pay £3.99 when you can get the hard copy for £4. ### 1/5 — Nothing special. *2013-04-19* Severe lack of features, even the contents failed to open. Hardly a substitute for the magazine. ### 2/5 — Needs a service!!! *2016-06-14* While technically not a non runner, it works, but is clunky to navigate around and seems to randomly crash & close. Only good value if monthly editions are bought as a yearly subscription ### 2/5 — Older magazines disappear without trace *2015-12-27* Quite a good alternative to the paper magazine except for the fact that magazines I bought prior to Jan '14 have just disappeared without trace and cannot be found, let alone re-downloaded. I'll stick to the paper magazine in future. My advice would be not to bother. ### 4/5 — Can we have a searchable index? *2020-12-12* The app works well. However, I often want to refer back to an article but I can’t remember which issue it was in. Could we have a searchable index, please? ### 4/5 — Przydatna *2014-09-26, version 5.0* Bardzo fajna aplikacja, polecam ;)))) ### 4/5 — Dobra *2014-08-24, version 3.0.2* Goraco polecam appkę! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice content *2024-11-14* I love the magazine and several years subscribed. I get motivation with very well explained articles and great pictures. ### 5/5 — My Go To Mag. *2024-10-23* Car Mechanics is the mag that delivers everything: Product reviews, car tests, how to articles, letters etc. etc. Steve Rothwell gives excellent advice, I’ve never met him, but he seems like a friend! Ok, I’m not so interested in articles on EV, but what can they do? People think it is the way forward, but I’m not so sure! All contributors are well informed, great mag. Thanks, Eddie Gracia ### 5/5 — Great Magazine *2020-10-23* This is one of the best magazines. Very well written and full of useful information. Definitely a must for any do it yourselfer or automotive enthusiast. ### 5/5 — Non mechanic *2020-07-06* The magazine is now aimed at the professional since working on cars at home is far from what it was. But...even so I find as an amateur the articles are interesting and informative. A good read! ### 5/5 — Great magazine. *2016-03-04* Good price and helpful information. ### 5/5 — Been waiting a long time for this... *2014-09-28* Brilliant! Works fine on my iPad. ### 5/5 — Prawie idealna *2014-09-17, version 5.0* Świetne ### 5/5 — Excellent *2014-06-23* All the articles and information of the magazines permanently stored on my phone and Ipad. Great for those occasions when waiting for an appointment or traveling. ### 5/5 — Love the magazine *2014-02-21* I have always bought the hard copy version of this magazine, so decided to buy the downloadable version instead. This does not disappoint. Everything that the magazine contains, but in a nice and clear format that's easy to carry around. Images are nice and sharp with great descriptions. Thank you for a great magazine. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
