### 1/5 — Worst App in the AppStore

*2026-01-16*

The app is horrendous. It often crashes and the screen appear blank when swiping to a new page. Every time I open the app, I have to “restore subscription”. Please fix!!

### 1/5 — Blocked from site!

*2025-09-29*

I am a long time subscriber, paid up but cannot get onto the site and customer service does not answer emails - I havent read an issue for 6 months

### 1/5 — I need large font size, but there’s a big bug with that

*2025-06-19*

If you try to set large font size, it keeps pinging back to normal font size quite frustrating. For me it makes it basically unusable. The app should honor the large font  size once you set it always.

### 3/5 — Ugh

*2025-06-08*

As a digital subscriber, this is an awful app and no support whatsoever is available!

### 5/5 — Mobile app: R & T

*2025-02-24*

I really don’t like being forced to write a review in order to see the content I’ve paid for.

### 1/5 — Can’t see content

*2023-12-25*

Can’t access content past title.

### 5/5 — Continuing…

*2023-12-06*

This has been my favorite automotive magazine for almost 40 years. Every month I looked forward to Side Glances by Peter Egan and couldn’t believe my luck when I found the collected works available. Without a doubt, R&T set the bar for car magazines and they set it high. For me, it has yet to be bested.

### 4/5 — What exactly am I paying for?

*2023-09-07*

Works fine on my iPhone 

I can’t even sign onto the app on my iPad. What’s the deal?

I can’t read any of the articles that show up in my emails or articles that link on the website. I receive your print magazine and can access issues on my iPhone. What exactly is the problem with your sites?

### 1/5 — Unable to view previously purchases

*2023-08-25*

Subscription expired October 2022. Unable to view/restore purchases up to this point 

Ripoff

### 1/5 — Too touch sensitive

*2023-07-22*

Content on this app looks good, but it’s hard to swipe through pages without opening adds. When I’m reading, I often do something by mistake that zooms the screen way in. Like one letter per page way in.
