### 3/5 — Need to redownload each time Not cool

*2020-09-09*

Awesome content but.....Each time I wanna read my purchase, I need to redownload it. It’s terrible because now I cannot read any of my issues during a long flight. So basically no wifi means no MXA or any other Hi Torque Publication magazines to read. I’m going back to the paper version, at least I can read em when I want.

### 3/5 — Needs updating

*2019-04-27*

Great app if you love dirt bikes but hard to read on I phone x because it doesn’t cover the whole of the screen so I recommend if you update the app to fit across all plat forms.

### 3/5 — Great mag. Struggles with iPad app

*2018-11-11*

I’ve been reading the magazine for decades.
The app is very “buggy”. Frequently the new magazine has to be downloaded numerous times, or even every time I want to read it. 
It’s a long term problem, which despite bringing to the attention of the “app people” continues

Many other Motorcycle magazines apps work a lot better.

I’ll persvere, for now, as I really rate the content.

Update.
This app seems to get worse and worse. It’s frankly not “fit for purpose.” If it were a bike, it wouldn’t start.

My iPad is fully updated. I spend (waste!) time doing all the “normal” fixes. - inc deleting the app, and reloading. 
Can’t even read the December issue, at all.
Most issues can only be read with an Internet connection (despite “downloading” them numerous times)
I read numerous motorcycles magazines on various apps on the same iPad. Virtually zero issues.
It’s unlikely I’ll renew my (long running) subscription.

### 2/5 — Please Fix

*2015-01-11*

App doesn't remember the page you are on, loses your book marks, takes forever to load the content pages, constantly zooms out when you scroll to the edge of the page. I have the same issue with other newsstand subscriptions. Digital magazines can be done right, but I am tired of waiting for these to be fixed. If you can, subscribe through the Zinio app.

### 2/5 — Мот

*2014-12-10*

Пммапп

### 3/5 — Latest update not so good

*2014-04-28*

I miss the old version, where each magazine was downloaded and able to view each individual page with ease. The ability to read articles directly is nice, but this current version takes too long to load. I end up not being able to read anything at all.

### 2/5 — Let's keep current.

*2014-03-08*

April issue is in the stores but not on this app yet. This is really annoying. I regret ever paying for this.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2013-07-24, version 3.0.12*

My sub to motocross and dirt bike mag crash now. Please fix or else I'll be asking for a refund.

### 4/5 — Delete app to fix crash.

*2013-07-24*

Delete the mx action on your book shelf and reinstall it.

### 1/5 — Will not open now

*2013-07-18, version 3.0.12*

Whatever you did on this last update fuber'd the app. It goes to loading screen then closes.

### 1/5 — App don't work after last update

*2013-07-12*

App doesn't work on Ipad after last update. Then starts it shows starting page and then disappears. Though it is showed in running apps list but also doesn't open.

### 1/5 — Not cool...

*2013-07-12, version 3.0.12*

Last update broke my app. Will be canceling my sub soon. Not due to app bug but due to its cool to look at a magazine on an iPhone.

### 2/5 — Needs bugs fixing

*2013-07-11*

I subbed for 1 year and recently updated the app yet when I now try and open the app it crashes after around 2 seconds and sends me back to my home screen. Great app and magazine when it worked but I feel a little disappointed now I cannot even view my issues. Please fix the bugs.

### 1/5 — Update today broke the app

*2013-07-10, version 3.0.12*

Today's update broke the app - neither MXA or Dirt Bike will not load. You touch the app and it flashes and then crashes. I have even done a reset on my iPad - still no luck. 

Please fix ASAP!

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2026-03-19*

App will not accept my email address. I can only preview the magazine. Digital subscription is a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Latest update (52) is terrible!

*2022-09-08*

The most recent update 52 (as of this review) is a huge step backwards and Insincerely wish there is a simple way to downgrade. As others have commented, it turns what is supposed to be a virtual library for your MXA subscription into makeshift single page scrolling website. Random articles from the website are at the top of the page and to even get to the magazine issues you have to scroll very far down below to a random point on the page. Once there, the only option to view scroll through issues is single cover list mode as the grid view has been removed. There is also no apparent way to view the magazine continuously without downloading it first as it still defaults back to web based list and only allows you to toggle to the magazine page view for that specific article. One test I was reading referred to Page 124 and 126 for more technical info but guess what, there’s no way to navigate to a specific page… While I do understand the need for an app that mirrors the website for overall engagement, there needs to be a separate section or separate app for the ‘digital newsstand’ function.

### 1/5 — Old version better

*2022-08-17*

Not sure why they needed to change .  Like the old version to open individual issues and read like a magazine

### 1/5 — New update not to my liking

*2022-08-09*

The latest update basically turned the magazine app into a webpage.  I lost access to previous magazine purchases or it falls into the “just too hard to do” box.  Good bye, I’m deleting the app.  If MTB ACTION, RB ACTION AND DIRT BIKE all go the same way I’ll delete them too.  There are plenty of websites that cover the content without going to an app which is supposed to be my magazine rack.  Sometimes simple is better.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2020-02-26*

The app is horrible. The issues constantly redownload. If you nudge an article left or right, it resets to the top of the page. Downloaded issues don’t act like they downloaded and take a lot of time to render. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Great Mag, Poor App Performance

*2018-12-02*

My feed has not updated since the 15th of September. I have tried restoring my purchases and even deleting and reinstalling the app. There are many other issues feed feature in this app too like freezing and not showing the pictures beside the feed list. The magazine section seems to work good. 
It is to bad the app is so glitchy as MXA is a great magazine with the best reviews of bikes and gear. But because of poor app performance I deleted my subscription :(.

### 1/5 — Horrible.  Buggy.  Will not retain downloads.

*2018-07-22*

All Hi-Torque magazine apps are useless offline.  Apparently they don’t care, or are too incompetent to find a fix.

### 1/5 — Can't sign in

*2014-03-18*

The new update looks lovely, but it will no longer let me sign into my account. Worst of all, I can't get any assistance because the contact us button does noting when you tap it. #fail

### 1/5 — App broken

*2013-07-31, version 3.0.12*

Guys, your app does not work. You can't take weeks to fix it!!

Wake up.

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2013-07-29, version 3.0.12*

### 5/5 — Dirt bike

*2014-06-09*

So cool

### 5/5 — MXA is Great!

*2014-05-07*

Great magazine and exactly the app I needed for weekly updates. There's a bit of lag on my I-Phone 4, but no complaints because I have old technology. S. Gutierrez

### 5/5 — Got it to work :D

*2013-08-02*

The new update would keep crashing the App upon opening.  I was informed to delete and reinstall the app.  That seemed to have done the trick, at first I thought I lost all my purchases, but then I realized I forgot to log back into my account. I'm glad I have access to my magazines again. Looks like this happened to all of Hi-Torque's magazines.
