Possibly the worst app in existence
All I want to do is read the magazine.
It always reopens to the front page instead of where I was.
Even when I click ‘download’ I still get buffering where the article won’t finish loading and I have to close the app and start again.
Sometimes I’ll start reading and then that particular article will go blank and guess what? The app needs restarting.
Sometimes the screen will go grey and say something in the top left corner about a test. Guess what? Restart the app…

Ugh
This thing keeps crashing every handful of times I click back to it, sometimes just from typing a quick text. Seriously. It’s been doing this for YEARS. I guess the 16GB RAM my iPad has are insufficient to keep such a monster in memory… Fix your s*!
Not quite wow…
Still not thrilled with the app (e.g. bookmarking articles is beyond you?) but it had gone YEARS with massive instability, regularly crashing and other obnoxious behaviours… and they have improved it however it still crashes more than zero, still boots me from the article to the app, and other undesirable results…

Not working on IPAD
Subscription is a waste of money since the app no longer works on the IPAD. I cancelled my subscription.
Latest update is crashing on my pad before I can read anything!
“Support for larger screens” - larger screens can do one. App is unusable since a couple weeks ago. Shows splash screen then crashes. Have rebooted iPad as well as reinstalling app. Nothing works.
App Stopped. Working
The App has suddenly stopped working on my iPad, it just shows the splash screen and then crashes. Not good enough as I am paying for content that I only read via the app and there is no support mechanism if you can’t load the app.
App Doesn’t Work
I have to log in every time I want to read Top Gear and it doesn’t remember where I left off previously. I have tried to get resolved but no one seems to know how to resolve. Goi g to ask for a refund and buy a hard copy of the magazine instead. It’s useless
Review
You are always asking for one and it is a pain.
No content
I have been charged for my subscription but the app does not give me any content. Just asks me to subscribe (again). So, have paid and received nothing.
Constantly Fails
I constantly have trouble trying to read the magazines. It keeps telling me I have no subscription. I have to log out then re-login. Sometimes it won’t let me read some issues then another day it allows me. The telephone help line are beyond useless. GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK
Constantly crashes.
Version 2.5.1 constantly crashes at the splash screen when I try to launch it on my older iPad running iOS 12.5.4. It was running just fine before the latest iOS update.
It works fine on my newer iPhone but why am I stuck downloading PDF copies, that are formatted for print, for offline viewing? It used to download the full-featured digital copy formatted for my device. If I wanted something formatted for print I would have subscribed to the print magazine. At least I wouldn’t have to squint to look at it! If the offline content doesn’t revert back to the way it used to be when my subscription comes up for renewal, you are losing a customer.

After updating my iPad software this app no longer opens.
Does not work with my iPad
Down loaded iOS 12.5.4 for my iPad Air today & the Ap will no longer Open.
Apple have concluded my iPad is working correctly after returning to Factory Settings.
I renew my Annual Subscription next week & need help

New version won’t load
I can no longer use the app since the latest version was installed. It will no longer load. Apparently only way to report an issue is by opening the app and clicking report an issue! Any guidance gladly welcomed
PDF at last
After almost two years of the new format for the iPad, they have at least offered the older easier to read PDF format, just in time for me to renew my subscription
App update not compatible with my iPad
I have just discovered after wondering why the October edition of the magazine wasn’t available the the latest Top Gear App update isnt compatible with my iPad OS and I have the latest software update on it.
Non existent support
I paid for a subscription up front and after 2 months I was unable to log in. Resetting password doesn’t work and I’m still waiting for a reply from top gear to a mail I sent weeks ago for help.
Waste of money.
Waste of money.
Can not find your details
This app membership was offered after my print sub failed during Covid. Useless because it won’t recognise my login details.
Horrendous
Doesn’t let me log in. Doesn’t remember place in magazine. Doesn’t remember my password. Chocolate teapot
Subscription cancelled

Great app
