### 5/5 — Great magazine

*2025-08-19*

Look forward to CM arriving digitally every month, I really respect Bertie’s efforts to deliver what everyone wants ( kind of impossible - but I love it).
Love Pip, baywatch & all the other contributors, plus the technical advice.
All the best in the current harsh climate-
Rob Knowles

### 3/5 — Great Magazine but some problems with App

*2022-12-15*

I have built up a library over a few years now and find this by far the best way to read the magazine.
However I seem to get a lot of app “crashes”
I can be reading an article and the app closes unexpectedly on my iPad Pro.
This also happens on the “Ride” magazine app and the “Classic Bike” magazine app.
Not sure if the crashes are being automatically reported though.

### 5/5 — It’s a great way to read

*2019-06-05*

I love magazines and after reading I like to keep them for reference. This quickly means piles mags all over the house. This is so handy, clean and quick. The cheaper subscription prices are nice but the best bit is that I can expand the text for my old eyes

### 5/5 — Best mag app!

*2015-06-21*

I have a bunch of ipad magazine apps and this is by far the best one. Loads quick,is easy to navigate. All in all a very enjoyable experience. Why other magazines, to try and load, navigate, are so poor in comparison is beyond me.

### 5/5 — Best in class

*2014-01-18*

This mag is the best out there for those Classic Japanese retro bikes that we all love.

### 1/5 — Walk to newsagent

*2013-03-27*

Walk to the newsagent and buy a copy, it will be a lot quicker than  waiting for it to download from pocketmags. I purchased this two days ago and still waiting for it to down load :(

### 5/5 — Good news.

*2012-08-16*

Just downloaded app, subscribed, all easy and straight forward. Alls good so far!
