### 5/5 — Practical caravanners read Practical Caravan!

*2019-09-25*

I’ve always loved caravanning, it’s a cheap way of seeing different parts of the uk with the added bonus that you’re not stuck in the same location for your entire holiday if you don’t want to be.
Practical Caravan is a great way of keeping abreast of potential new sites to visit, plus the readers tips are always worth checking out as every now again there’s something that helps you improve your own caravan.
There are other caravan magazines that I have tried from time to time but for me nothing beats Practical Caravan.

### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2019-07-18*

This new app does not work. Loading the store I get error message. Failed to load store. Error -442342
Eventually it will load. However, my library is empty.
I could not login with previous credentials why? So have to create a new account with myfavouritemagazines. When logging into myfavouritemagazines I can see my subscription details are all correct.
It now appears to be working, however, all the back issues I had from Jan 2017 going back to the end of 2013 are not available unless I pay for them again, not going to happen.

### 2/5 — requires improvements.

*2018-04-04*

Just adequate for viewing the magazine, but only just! Very dated compared to other offerings from rival magazines. The App becomes unstable when downloading new issues causing a flickering screen and becomes unresponsive and then it crashes! It really does need some sorting! The magazine content is good, but the app is woeful!

### 3/5 — Oops!

*2015-12-04*

Not optimized for the ipad pro since the latest update, needs a little work on it.  Cheers

### 5/5 — Mr

*2014-08-24*

Simply the best caravan mag out there. Nothing else comes close when it comes to good advice, and the writers clearly get out and love the hobby as much as the readers.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2013-01-02*

It's ok.
