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. ### 2/5 — Motortrend clearly doesn't know how things work *2024-06-01, version 4.48.0* The app itself is probably the best magazine app out there, as far as look, form, and functionality. The problem is in the money department. They do not give you access to back issues despite the fact that every other mag subscription does, they expect you to buy them. Its misleading when thumbing through the app to see "subscribe for 1.99" below an older issue, but then when the sub is purchased, instead of having the button that says read, they just bumped up the button that says "buy for 4.99". After a few emails with customer service i was told that a sub only gives you access to the latest issue and that the back issues have to be purchased outright. Add that with the fact that they just moved to a quarterly output platform, and that equals me subscribing for 1 month every 3-4 months and then canceling. I would gladly keep the sub open year round just to access all the old stuff at my leisure, but i guess Motortrend wants to be difficult and do things the hard way. ### 1/5 — Unsubscribed *2024-04-24, version 4.48.0* No longer with the money they changed everything up and now I can’t access anything even after going through what they suggested. ### 1/5 — Zero Star *2024-04-15, version 4.48.0* If I wanted Discovery+ I would have got it. I subscribed to Motortrend for a reason! This used to be the best app/service. Now I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. If I could give a zero star I would. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-04-13, version 4.48.0* The new update ruined it. I can’t watch wec races. Deleting it now. ### 1/5 — Everything *2024-04-11, version 4.48.0* The update ruined this app it was better before, being able to pick the show instead of live tv. ### 1/5 — We had a nice thing going *2024-04-09, version 4.48.0* Sure pull your shows from Netflix. Sure Pulle ‘em from YouTube. Selling out to a much bigger fish and moving you content over their. Not worth the subscription. ### 1/5 — Not good anymore *2024-04-06, version 4.48.0* Got rid of built in video player, is now on discovery+ and all my watch history / resume where I left off is gone. Forced me to update and then asked for a review of the app. Very dissatisfied. ### 1/5 — The updated app!! *2024-04-06, version 4.48.0* I’d like my money back. ### 1/5 — new update 😡😡😡 *2024-04-05, version 4.48.0* can't see any show now with the new update just the fast tv 🤯🤬😡 ### 1/5 — Motortrend *2024-04-03, version 4.48.0* So I paid for a year subscription now I can’t watch any of the shows anymore can’t even get ahold of anyone to help. ### 1/5 — Sucks now *2024-04-03, version 4.48.0* I just updated the app and now it sucks What happened to the shows ### 1/5 — Forced update to remove content *2024-04-02, version 4.48.0* Been watching roadkill since middle school, first had to download another app no problem, then pay for the app okay I get it, but now having to pay for another app for only even just watching roadkill is the last straw for me. Roadkill is the only show worth watching anyways ### 1/5 — Not worth it anymore. *2024-04-01, version 4.48.0* I dont know who decided to make paying customers pay twice to watch their shows on motortrend but they need to fix it and make it how it was before! Especially since you can watch the same show and others on YouTube! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-03-31, version 4.48.0* Not only did you raise the price you made it unwatchable. The last episode of Roadkill was garbage. ### 1/5 — Changed entire platform to a junk ad filled hellscape. *2024-03-31, version 4.48.0* We used to be able to watch new episodes of our favorite shows when they came out and when we were able to. This is a step backwards in time to an era where you missed your show because you weren't home or you were busy. Bring back on demand viewing and remove ads. ### 2/5 — Cancel *2024-03-31, version 4.48.0* Cant get it to stream to my smart tv anymore, now its going to Discovery plus?? Time for me to cancel ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE UPDATE! *2024-03-30, version 4.48.0* It no longer groups my shows. It now longer keeps track of the shows I’ve seen. Difficult to navigate! If I wanted Discovery+… I would have added it. I didn’t need it shoved upon me. I still love Motor Trend! Didn’t need this trash! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Failure to Launch *2026-08-18, version 6.0.11* App does not work beyond opening with the previews at the top and no news stories below, just a spinning icon. ### 1/5 — Your mom *2024-11-22, version 6.0.2* The cancelled the only good shows ### 1/5 — Great app, until latest update.. *2024-10-09, version 6.0.2* Free TV feature is now gone. Unable to watch RoadKill. 0 stars!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t watch tv through the app? *2024-09-12, version 6.0.2* As of 9/11/2024, can not watch the free tv through the app. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2024-09-11, version 6.0.2* 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. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2024-07-09, version 6.0.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Why *2024-06-24, version 4.48.0* 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 ### 1/5 — It use to be good *2024-06-15, version 4.48.0* 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 ### 1/5 — Motor Trend goes to the grooming channel *2024-06-01, version 4.48.0* You advertise new episodes on X and say new episodes on Discovery but there’s none all old shows. Why did this channel go to a trans grooming channel. Straight people are not into but sex propaganda. ### 1/5 — EXTREMELY GLITCHY APP *2024-05-10, version 4.48.0* EXTREMELY GLITCHY APP ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-03-11, version 6.0.4* 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 ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2024-10-11, version 6.0.2* It’s a good app ### 5/5 — Survey *2024-03-25, version 4.47.1* Road worthy rescues is the reason I have this app. I like several other shows as well but Derek and family are awesome! ### 5/5 — Favorite channel of all *2024-03-24, version 4.47.1* I watch this most of the day . ### 5/5 — great selection *2024-03-24, version 4.47.1* i love cars and everything about them, and this app has one of if not the biggest selection of car shows out the of all the other things I've used. ### 5/5 — App *2024-03-16, version 4.47.1* Please leave motortrend app alone please don’t put it with discovery and cut out us car guy we like having a place with just are stuff ### 5/5 — Stress relief *2024-03-16, version 4.47.1* Put the wife and kids to bed, crack a beer and enjoy your favorite shows ### 5/5 — Great Content Just 1 issue *2024-03-14, version 4.47.1* Just wish you can download like Netflix or Amazon so you can watch on a plane. ### 5/5 — Great app great show but one thing *2024-03-13, version 4.47.1* I’ve been watching you guys for the last eight years love all your shows all your programs very knowledgeable. Not sure why but very upset that dirt every day is going to Oregon. I think you need to bring it back or have another show like it. Hopefully someone reads this. ### 5/5 — Motor heads everywhere that weren’t good at sports love cars *2024-03-13, version 4.47.1* Only game better would be a show that does normal men playing back yard sports show !
