### 2/5 — Slow to load, offline access not available

*2023-11-04*

Takes ages to load library screen, takes ages to load content, and downloads aren’t available if you’re offline. Frustrating when you’re travelling.

### 2/5 — Buggy app

*2023-08-18*

Good contents. Nice reviews! But buggy app. Often it loads only half of the contents.

**Developer response:** Thank you for getting in touch. Apologies you're having trouble using your App, if you would please get in touch via this form https://www.immediateapps.co.uk/digital-contact-form/ we can try and resolve this issue. Many thanks

### 2/5 — Cumbersome and not content not available offline

*2023-01-22*

This is not about the content which I like - I’ve been a subscriber for over 10 years. 
The app itself is less user friendly than previous app. 
The biggest issue however is, even if the magazine is downloaded, it is not possible to view content if not connected to Internet. That means useless for when in places with limited connection, flights, overseas where can’t get data allowance etc. 
It should not be a challenge to fix.

**Developer response:** Thank you for getting in touch. Apologies you're having trouble using your App, if you would get in touch via this form https://www.immediateapps.co.uk/digital-contact-form/ we can try and help you with this issue. Many thanks

### 1/5 — Why do I need to Login?

*2022-09-07*

Deleted the app as you can’t look at the current issue before I buy. And no I don’t want to subscribe. Really?

### 1/5 — Magazine let down by the app.

*2022-09-05*

The app does not allow for an issue to be read without an internet connection present. I use the app to read when away from internet. And can’t open the app. 
And reading the articles once out of internet is unstable and slow. 
Yes I do download for offline purpose. 
Very disappointing and a bad reflection on the publication itself.

**Developer response:** Thank you for getting in touch. Apologies you're having trouble with your App offline, if you would get in touch via this form https://www.immediateapps.co.uk/digital-contact-form/ we can advise you regarding this issue. Many thanks

### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish

*2022-04-12*

Logged me out after paying a subscription and cannot get password reset. Poor service all round and I still get offer so my e mail every week. Gone back to magazine subscription but not received that yet !! Don’t bother

**Developer response:** Hi there, we're so sorry to hear you have lost access to your issues. Can you please confirm you've registered your email address inside the app, if the email address has not been registered this will be why the password reset is not working. If you continue to experience problems please email us at appsupport@immediate.co.uk and we will be able to help your further. Many thanks

### 1/5 — Worked fine for years now doesn’t

*2022-03-31*

App has been fine for years, but now shows my CP subscription as Match of the Day magazine. Delete and reinstall solved the problem for about 10 minutes then all issues reverted to MOTD. Email to support was not answered. Not great. Update - now reverted back to CP magazine. Latest update is a car crash of an app. What used to be a reasonable experience is a laggy mess. Page turns cause a blank page for a short period, intrusive toolbar.  And really black text on a dark grey background ?

Final straw in a ever decreasing quality app. Subscription cancelled

**Developer response:** Hi there, we are so sorry to hear of the problems you are having. Can I confirm the support email address you contacted was appsupport@immediate.co.uk? Please could you send screenshots of the issues you are experiencing in the app with details of the device you are using to this email address and our team will be able to investigate this for you. Many thanks

### 1/5 — App is worst ever

*2021-07-26*

I’ve subscribed for years but over time the design of the app had diminished dramatically. They’ve now reached the point where the app is annoying and unusable. They want to sell you other publications. Currently, they’ve now cluttered up my library by including their magazine “Match of the Day” which I have no interest. The result is a library completely cluttered with no way to remove them.

To top it all off, their support offers no way to contact them.

After all this time, I just cancelled. Their management is apparently clueless and arrogant. Look at the dates of my comments and their response. They’re not the least bit interested in helping customers. I even went to their Facebook page to complain and they never responded. Take your money elsewhere. Cycling Plus is now run by losers and rip-off artists.

**Developer response:** We are very sorry that you do not like the new format. We carried out a lot of user testing before making this change and we feel that this solution offers the best reading experience for customers across all of the different screen sizes on Apple devices. If you would like to give feedback on a specific feature please feel free to contact us using the in-app support form. We will check the information in the FAQ and make sure it is up to date. We will also pass on your feedback to the apropriate people - we are monitoring our customers' reaction to the new format carefully at this time and will consider all suggestions equally.

### 1/5 — Worked for a while now rubbish.

*2021-04-24*

I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and have noticed this app getting worse to use for a while now. The updates have note changed the poor performance of paging through the magazine very slow. I have tried to contact the magazine subscription but have had no answer from them. They keep on filling my library with match of the day magazine which I do not subscribe to.

### 1/5 — Good magazine, pity cant see it

*2021-04-23, version 5.6.7*

All my cycling plus issues seem to have been replaced by match of the day.
