Good magazine and worth the money

I’ve subscribed to this magazine for many years now. But lately the numbers of typos, errors in paragraphing even a picture printed upside down(!!) and pages missing in the electronic version spoils things enough for me to mark this as only 3 stars.
Surely someone proof reads before publication? If not, they should and that person needs to have some knowledge of classic vehicles.

On time on line in Oz

Great to have something to look forward too,easy to review and no waste or delay. Great read and gives oz an appreciation of no rust,salt and less expensive motoring. Eric

App doesn’t work unless you accept cookies.

The app crashes with an endless loading spinner unless you accept cookies and tracking.

There is also no clear way to withdraw consent within the app.

To add insult to injury, the website is broken on iPhone.

Latest update will cause me to cancel my subscription

The latest update requires iOS 14.x.x, high means I can no longer use the app to read my digital edition as my iPad is not compatible. Very unfortunate that you are following Apple’s lead to try to force users to upgrade to the latest model of hardware...:(

Save your money…

This app is useless… it’s always been difficult to navigate, and now I get a “please update” hint, but the link does NOT update, there appears to be NO update available, even via the app store, so I’m no longer able to tead the mag! Apart from wasted money, it’s no great loss: this mag has become less and less “practical” and more and more “fluff”. No longer worth it! I can’t give it NO stars, or I would!

Poor.

This publication has been substantially ‘dumbed down’ since the 1990’s. For someone with a good knowledge of classic cars and mechanical repair/restoration it’s not worth reading. I signed up for a reduced price trial and they took a substantial payment for further issues beyond the trial less than half way through the trial period. Avoid!!!!

Shocking

This app must be the worst app I’ve ever used. My advice pay a bit more and get paper copies you’ll never read an issue via this because it won’t let you log in.... Absolute pants...

The Mortal car Mag

My monthly fix of cars that are not beyond my reach, beyond my capabilities - in most cases, but explained in straightforward terms.

The enthusiast’s choice

Full of practical tips on buying and maintaining a classic, information about events, groups and professional support services, and brimming with the enthusiasm of a truly expert team, it’s a great read.

The best!

The twists! The turns! The chaos! And that’s just the staff car sagas. These guys (where are the gals?) have a unique and grounded approach to classic car ownership. I have been a loyal reader for longer than I care to admit and never fail to laugh and learn.

Not joined up

So you buy a digital issue online, on a laptop, but only later you discover that you can only read it on a phone or iPad. When you download this app you then find that, after setting up an account, it wants you to repurchase the edition you’ve already paid for as there’s no way to link the existing purchase to the account you’ve set up. A clunky, ill thought through and dated digital process.

Hi Alangs1200, thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. I think the problem here is that you didn't log in to the website on your laptop before you bought the issue. You need to log in to the website before you make a purchase so that you can link to the account of the app on your smartphone. Kind regards

Practical Classics

I have been reading the magazine for years and it is always full of interesting articles and useful technical advise. I share the same view as most of the writers that you have to use your classic and enjoy it.

Not satisfied at all

I have a digital and paper subscription but i do not manage to get neither paper nor digital new issues, even if my subscription is still active.

More stable than before but...

Always defaults to the splash page and not the library.
