Great articles, garbage app

We all love this publication. The “app” is a dodgy mobile website embedded in an app. Super glitchy and unreliable. Halfway through sn article it refreshes on its own and takes you back to the home page. Ads everywhere. Honestly the worst app on my phone, but at least it’s slightly less worse than trying to access popmech through google news. The in viewer video ads are so annoying. I should also mention that I have a digital and physical subscription. Great articles when you can actual read them. Thanks

Great articles but the App needs work

I enjoy all the articles that Popular Mechanics puts out. All their gear reviews and in depth stories. However, one of the most annoying issues I have with their App is that it has a tendency to refresh itself while you're in the middle of reading articles. Then, after it decides to randomly refresh, you have to scroll back down and find where you left off and hope that you can read the rest of your article before it refreshes again.

Very cumbersome

For a company that prides itself in cutting edge technology, the app feels more like a 1980s home computer. So many things I can’t list. But go on it once and you’ll see. You don’t smoothly log in even when your acct is set up. You don’t open to nice graphics or articles. It looks like they are selling individual magazines -Not an app to actually enjoy your digital subscription. I cancelled. Not worth the money.

Can't link print subscription with online account

I've had a print subscription for years. Have not been able to link it to online account; paid extra for the online plus and not getting any of the daily emails I'm supposed to even though buttons checked. Terrible online presence
