Articles don’t load

Is anyone else have the same issue where the articles just don’t load? I tried deleting and reinstalling the app, but no luck.

Broken App

Used to be my favorite car news app, like many others nothing loads anymore. Everything is up to date and I have deleted and re installed multiple times, and I’ve even upgraded my phone and the app just doesn’t work anymore. I can’t believe so many people still have this issue and it hasn’t been fixed.

Stopped Working-can no longer view the magazine archive!

I have used the app since it came out and have loved the magazine archive. For some reason, it just hangs up now, it just spins in wait mode. I have deleted and reinstalled it doesn’t even allow a new login page to reset the password it just sits and hangs. No one seems to be able to figure it out.

Needs updating

It was great when I first downloaded it, but it’s now unusable to the point where I get the spinny wheel when I try to access pretty much anything. I will update my rating once an update comes out

Time for an update?

I’m giving this a three and not a one because I have liked this app. My iPhone is up to date but even after deleting and reinstalling, the articles on the news page will not render. I get a perpetual spinning icon. I know the app does basically work. The feature articles at the top show and other tabs open. But the news articles don’t. Hoping for a fix because last update shows several months ago.

Update: more people are noting this app isn’t working anymore. Whoever owns MotorTrend should know that after a while, viewing and reading habits change. I rarely check this app anymore. People will delete it. If I owned this storied brand and publication, I would be having serious conversations with those tasked at keeping digital presences working. I’d be seriously thinking of terminations and restructuring. Or… just coming out and saying this app is fully unsupported and we’d all just move on.

Nothing works

As the reviews before me say nothing works aside from app opening. Garbage.

Doesn’t work anymore.

Used to be a good app. A couple of years ago most of the legacy titles stated to only go back to around 2013. Now, no magazines show up. Only thing the app shows is the articles that populate Google and my emails.

Can’t access archives

When I try to access the archives, I just get a spinning wheel. Really hoping this gets fixed bc my kiddo loves looking at the old issues.

Historic Magazines

Not working. Even historic magazines aren’t loading. Was a great app, will update rating if they fix it.

Failure to Launch

App does not work beyond opening with the previews at the top and no news stories below, just a spinning icon.

Great App

This has quickly became my favorite app I watch it on tv then spend the rest of the time on it reading and rereading the hot rod Chevy high performance, classic trucks,muscle car reviews mags and so much more I wish I’d have had this since I was in my teens I can’t get enough about the hobby I love after my Bible reading every day it’s my favorite to spend time on keep all those issues where I can keep reading over and over all the great mags you have if I could give a million stars I would keep it free and easy

Your mom

The cancelled the only good shows

Pretty good

It’s a good app

Great app, until latest update..

Free TV feature is now gone. Unable to watch RoadKill. 0 stars!!!

Can’t watch tv through the app?

As of 9/11/2024, can not watch the free tv through the app.

App doesn’t work

App doesn’t work. Videos won’t play. Go to help? Does nothing! Go to trouble shooting? All pages error or unavailable? This app is garbage! They seriously ruined it.

What happened?

This app used to be really good and easy to navigate. Now I have to fumble through multiple pages just to find videos or tv shows I want to watch. It is also super glitchy and the video just randomly pauses for no reason. Canceling my subscription to this. Not worth the money anymore.

Why

I just want to select a show and watch not deal with tv that’s why I subscribed to this app now it’s just garbage please go back to what it was before the update if I could give a lower rating at the moment I would

It use to be good

I use to enjoy watching live racing from around the world but since the new update or merge with discovery plus it has been a headache
