### 1/5 — What is the Point?

*2026-07-13, version 1.5.4*

What is the deal with this app? I downloaded the app to find more coverage of the 2026 Tour de France, since I enjoyed the articles from Velo writers I found through Google searches, yet the coverage that shows up in my feed is dated back to 2021! Searches only provide coverage that reaches 2025. Am I missing something? I have always been a fan of Outside magazine but this app is a mess. It’s not even sub-par; it’s horrible. I do hope the developers give it some serious attention and bring it up to date.

### 4/5 — Ghost content. Hard to navigate the site.

*2026-06-06, version 1.5.4*

I get an e mail with an interesting article. When I select I get send elsewhere and cannot find the article. Painful.

### 1/5 — Appli ne fonctionne pas

*2026-03-27*

Rien ne fonctionne impossible de se connecter

### 1/5 — Problème d’identification

*2026-01-01*

Je ne peux pas utiliser l’appli, alors que tout fonctionne sur ordinateur ou web mobile. Les id sur l’appli ne sont pas reconnus et si je clique sur mot de passe oublié, le mail en question n’est jamais reçu (essayé plusieurs fois). Très dommage après avoir payé l’abonnement…

### 1/5 — Love the content

*2025-12-12, version 1.5.4*

Outside really needs to get their app organized. When I have a notification on the app icon that there is a message or new news story I might interested in, and then click on the app to open it, I see no link or reference to the “new” story. All I get sometimes is a story that I have already read and in some cases it’s several months old. Logically one would think when opening an app that is delivering news, the most recent stories would appear and then in descending order the older stories. Not with the Outside app. Really annoying 😕

### 5/5 — Always something good to read

*2025-10-26, version 1.5.4*

Plus - Gaia GPS - subscription was an easy decision for me.

### 1/5 — Worst app I have

*2025-10-22, version 1.5.4*

I want to love this app. I have read Outside affiliated articles for years and was stoked when they created an app vs needing to use a browser. But this app is just terrible. It will show me the same articles over and over again (half the time my google feed shows me new or old articles I’ve never seen before the app does). If I was halfway through reading and stop suddenly, it becomes impossible to find unless I can remember the specific name of the article to search. The algorithm definitely does not understand what I enjoy reading. I would absolutely NOT pay for this if it didn’t come with Gaia because I actually use Gaia.

### 1/5 — Junk App and Publication

*2025-10-13, version 1.5.4*

What a waste. I’ve subscribed to Outside for 35 years. I just cancelled. This app experience is a horrible joke, and the reporting has gone downhill after they laid off and fired most of the editorial team and their star journalists. 

Reporting is now meek and lacks the investigative authority they once carried. No longer will they take politicians to task for their failings in the Outdoor space. The reviews seem to cheer for all and fail to take a position of which product is best. 

Sure seems like Outside is targeting the lowest common denominator, seeking clicks rather than meaningful journalism, and pandering to the right wing and their advertisers rather than producing for their audience and customers. 

Shame on Robin Thurston for ruining a stalwart American journalism.

### 2/5 — Wish they’d figure it out

*2025-09-25, version 1.5.4*

I’ve been a longtime subscriber and would read cover to cover. The app just seems harder to find the content I like. Why do I have to go to the website to find the gear guide? How will I know it’s out? Really wish they’d make it more user friendly because most of the content is still good - it’s just hard to find.

### 1/5 — Screen rotation

*2025-09-17, version 1.5.4*

Installed app and signed in. After app opened the orientation of article I wanted to read would not rotate. Garbage!
I subscribed to Outside+ with Gaia gps. Should allow me to use the trailfork app as an included benefit but app would not let me log in. Chatbot help said I should change password. Why would I want to change password and update every app and login associated with the outside+ family of content? Total scam I say! I feel like they make it difficult so I can’t use the content I have paid for. I asked for a refund and they simply said no, that all they could do is not auto-renew in a year. So I have paid for a year of Gaia gps. And a bunch of extras I can’t use
Avoid at all costs
