### 5/5 — What a mag too

*2026-01-26*

It takes me
Back to a time where I had hair and good knees lol , also taking me back in time with all the write up of events…. Please keep up the good work

### 3/5 — Printversie

*2023-11-09*

Lees liever de printversie.

### 1/5 — Your app

*2022-02-11, version 8.5*

FFS-can’t login- you are corresponding with my wife??????

### 1/5 — Feels like a scam

*2021-05-08*

My son got me a subscription as a gift and I neither received any printed issues after four months nor been able to login the app.

### 1/5 — White Screen

*2020-12-10*

A white screen is all I get.  Had this app for some time with no problem. No it doesn’t work. Tried deleting and reinstalling, still doesn’t work.  No response from Bauer either.  Subscription cancelled.

In short don’t bother with digital, it’s a con, get the paper magazine instead.

**Developer response:** Hi qeepod! We're very sorry for any discontent caused by our app. We really try to help our customers, but sometimes it takes some time to answer everyone. Kind regards

### 1/5 — Apple Subscription  to Classic Bike

*2019-08-05*

Don’t subscribe through Apple. Go directly to Bauer the publisher 
Apple won’t recognize all my previous subscriptions or let me read it on more than one device. So I’m stuck with my cell phone not my IPad 
Be careful too, you’ll get renewed Automatically 
If you don’t manage to find the right switch in time!

### 5/5 — Classic bikes

*2019-02-10*

Excellent once I had managed to load it.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your great feedback! We are happy you enjoy it. Please contact us at: appsupport_uk@bauermedia.com if you should ever have any questions about the app.

### 2/5 — Very user unfriendly

*2018-05-30*

I’m completely baffled as to how to view my subscription details. Not at all easy to use, to the point I’m going to cancel.

### 1/5 — Useless! Do not subscribe!

*2016-11-02*

I cant log in because they didnt send me details on how to
Now paid for a year and cant log in to view!

### 2/5 — Hopeless

*2016-10-29*

I'm a great fan of this magazine but this app is hopeless. It's simply a scanned version of the magazine. When viewed in landscape mode the pictures often don't even line up.
Further, it often fails to download all of the pages as well. For instance, Nov 2016 ends at the start of the classified adds.
The only reason it gets more than 1 star is because the content is good.
I'll be buying the paper version only from now on.
