### 1/5 — Shocking app - very buggy

*2017-06-02*

Needs to be fixed or I'm cancelling my subscription-'awful performance and constant crashing

### 1/5 — Great idea poor implementation

*2016-12-18*

I greatly enjoy this magazine and leapt at the opportunity to carry multiple issues on my iPad  when I travel.  Alas, one of the great unsung humorists of our time wrote the app.  In early versions, though it claimed otherwise, you could only read your issues if you were connected to the internet!  Downloading made things faster but it still wouldn't let you read off-line.

Finally a new version was announced that was said to fix this problem.  It may have.   I don't know.  In addition to the new interface, it wiped all my previous purchases and account info and refuses to let me view ANY issues let alone one's I uselessly spend a significant amount of money purchasing in the past.

For those of you who have gotten this far and aren't quite sure yet, this a negative review!

### 1/5 — Poor interface update!

*2016-12-15*

Great mag, incredibly stupid update that prevents you hiding the top and bottom menu.  Totally ruins the reading experience, I do not want to know the time or how many bars I have when reading.  Sadly all newsstand apps are going this way.

But wait, there's more.

Latest update has deleted every downloaded edition.  when asked, publisher reposted it was in my long term interest.  errr? seriously? 3.6 Gb of download (again) is in my interest?

### 1/5 — Can't get it to work

*2015-02-18*

Apart from it being a free subscription and I can't get it to work the preview is the index ... Wow really exciting ... Not!

### 1/5 — New release is useless.

*2014-09-22*

Newest update is unusable. Lost downloaded issues. Even after re downloading it just doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Waste of space

*2014-01-08*

Don't bother with this as it doesn't work. Won't recognise my gift subscription and tech support is useless now 2 weeks and no resolution. Wouldn't even give it 1 star but that's the minimum.

### 1/5 — Subscriber Download does not work

*2013-12-20*

I had a trial subscription to this mag for 3 months and I then switched over to a paid subscription. I cannot download any of the subsequent mags and their technical support is very poor and it is still not working. The mag itself is ok, although it is exactly the same as the printed version. Overall it doesn't get my vote.

### 1/5 — Frustrating app

*2024-12-09*

Subscribed to the magazine. Downloaded the app. Tried logging in and kept being directed to a Great Magazines website to log in, then kept going round in circles and being asked to log in!

### 1/5 — Spoiled by annoying app performance

*2024-06-27*

now, when you leave the app and go back to it, it jumps a random amount of pages forward…very annoying too…and now, some pages just won’t load and you have to exit the app and reopen it…come on, it’s 2024 & the performance of the app is getting worse

We have discussed the problem you mentioned with our developers and are working on a solution. In this way, we want to ensure that our high standards are always maintained in the future.

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2023-11-12, version 9.9*

It never downloads the issues, or at least never complete, so you hardly can use it offline. It makes you loose the supposed archive if you decide to unsubscribe.

### 1/5 — Difficult

*2020-10-03*

Difficult to buy, difficult to read.

**Developer response:** Hi Gorley_Bob
We're very sorry for any difficulties that occurred. Our customer service would be happy to help you. To contact us, you may use the contact formular in the app or send an email to: appsupport_uk@bauermedia.com
Kind regards

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2020-05-26*

Scummy subscription system when you sign up to buy individual magazines and then find out you’ve actually subscribed to an expensive 12 month subscription. Read the small print. Bunch of arseholes, they also sell a much cheaper 12 month subscription. You have been warned! Print off and have a lawyer read through the contract first.

**Developer response:** Hi Crispin353, thank you for leaving your feedback. We apologise for the inconvenience. Usually you have the possibility to buy single issues, even without registration. If this does not work, please contact appsupport_uk@bauermedia.com. Kind regards

### 1/5 — Online version of classic cars

*2020-03-23*

It’s just a scan of the printed version. Not interactive at all. You can zoom and pan but you need to do that cos the print is too small.

**Developer response:** Hi Axaxaxabvcgftrde, we are very sorry, that you're having troubles reading our ePaper. The print should be easy to read since we implemented the reader optimisation "read mode". If something should not work with the read mode, please contact appsupport_uk@bauermedia.com. Kind regards

### 1/5 — Confused

*2020-03-13*

Sorry, I don’t get the app - it’s awful to navigate

**Developer response:** Hi FrankBullitt, we are so sorry, that you are not satisfied with the app. If you tell us exactly what kind of problems you are having, the app support might be able to help you. Please contact appsupport_uk@bauermedia.com. Kind regards

### 1/5 — IPad2

*2017-08-07*

The latest app update now makes it impossible to download Bauer Media titles on iPad2 devices but, despite my requests, the company has not placed a warning on the app to this effect. Not good enough.

### 1/5 — Be careful if you are an iTunes customer

*2017-07-23, version 7.0*

You will have to download all your purchased magazines again. Not very nice if you happen to be on holidays, because you will be forced to use unsafe wifi connections. My advice: wait until you are back home and then decide if you wish to upgrade... Computer/iPad. The new interface is much, much slower than the old one in my previous generation iPad. And full of glitches.

### 5/5 — Classic car magazine

*2020-08-19*

Best magazine bar none for classic cars , not full of adverts , actual good articles about real cars and people

**Developer response:** Hi Big bad hector, thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We're very pleased to hear that you like Classic Cars magazine. Kind regards

### 5/5 — NO DESCARGA

*2020-04-29, version 9.0*

NUNCA DESCARGA

### 5/5 — Great digital option

*2016-06-03*

Having bought print editions of Classic Cars magazine for many years I tried out the digital version soon after the option became available. 

Due to the great value and ready portability- I take my iPad when I'm travelling and even enjoy reading the mag in spare moments on my iPhone when in transit - the mobile-device version is a winner in my view. It's also easier to flick to back editions than it is to sort through my pile of earlier print magazines. 

Well done Bauer.

### 5/5 — Cheaper but less tactile than print

*2015-07-03*

Have been reading this magazine for 25 years. Love it.

### 4/5 — If you love classic European cars.....

*2014-12-01*

Great magazine. Good variety of articles about cars from all periods. Would like to see more articles about lesser known interesting cars from outside of Europe or the US. 
A very enjoyable read!

### 2/5 — Annoying app

*2018-11-01*

Very hard to find where you were, won’t download in background.  App has got worse over the years.

### 2/5 — Top half of page missing

*2014-03-27*

Great magazine except has a bug that results in a couple of pages only displaying the bottom half of page only. The page preview shows full page, but only bottom half shows when reading magazine. Very frustrating as normally last page of review/article. Hopefully it gets fixed then will deserve more stars.
