MotorTrend+: Watch Car Shows for Negative User Reviews

4.0.0 update is garbage.After installing this app version my paid in full year subscription and account are recognized but it will NOT stream. I can’t even get past the login and select a package page even though it sees my account is paid. Ridiculous I have read that previous updates from last year have had similar issues. Why can you not fix your garbage app? What is the point of an update if it gets worse and won’t work? Do you even beta test prior to full release? Come on guys. Next let’s talk about your casting to another device. Can you not just make an on TV or stream service app like everyone else? Get it together or give me a full refund!.Version: 4.0.0

Limited on what I can watchBeing in Australia very limited on what you can watch. Have had the app since roadkill went to subscription.Version: 3.6.2

Why!?!Why must a receive notification for shows I don’t watch? We should be able to set what shows we get notifications about. I only watch about 5 shows on this app and the rest of them I have zero interest in. I love this app and the shows I enjoy, but it drives me crazy that I keep getting notifications for things I couldn’t care less about. Give us a “my favorites” section and allow us to control what we receive notifications about. Also why do notifications about shows I do watch always get sent out after I’ve already watched them!? With all this technology isn’t there a way of the app seeing I’ve already watched or at the very least send the notifications when the show is available to watch..Version: 4.17.0

FrustratingWhy can’t we watch all the programs we’re paying the same as America and yet discovery wants us to pay again via sky to watch the programs you can’t here the licensing is stupid it feels like we’re being ripped off either drop the price or make it all available please.Version: 2.6.3

UNAVAILABLE IN YOUR AREAMOTOR TREND PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY PEOPLE IN THE UK CANNOT WATCH ALL PROGRAMS? I AM PAYING FOR THE PRIVILEGE TO WATCH THESE PROGRAMMES AND I HAVE NOW FOUND OUT I CANNOT WATCH ANY OF WHAT I SUBSCRIBED FOR???.Version: 3.2.4

Total waste of time If your in the uk !!Set up the free trial to watch all my favourite car shows ( Roadkil Diesel brothers, Bitchin Rides etc ) that were on sky & NOW tv, what a waste clicked on them none are available in the uk why bother marketing this to the uk market.Version: 4.7.1

New update 😡😡😡Can't see any show now with the new update just the fast tv 🤯🤬😡.Version: 4.48.0

Like it on my IPad but no TV optionThe latest updates are steps in a backwards direction, harder to see on smaller iPhone, auto start the next episode is annoying with no way to stop, the earlier App let you see a full overview on one screen. There is still no way to stream on Apple products, limited Australian access and can only see Original shows, still same money as overseas with a 1/4 of the access? Just reviewed again and taken another star away..Version: 3.0.0

Doesn’t Cast, MT Support Refuses to RefundThe app doesn’t cast from my iPhone XS Max to my Samsung TV. It plays for a second, then cuts out. I tried requesting a refund, as I’d shelled out the $24 for the annual subscription, and Motortrend Support refused to issue a refund, insisting I spend the time to video the issue on my phone and the TV after already providing a detailed step-by-step walkthrough of the behavior in my support request (the ask to video the issue, I’m afraid, would take some time to understand how to video both screens simultaneously, and I barely have time to write this review let alone compile videos for them). After the support ticket was constantly being put back on me and Support REFUSED after multiple clear requests to issue a refund, I ended up giving up. So now, I’m stuck with an app that DOES NOT WORK from a company who REFUSES to refund after clear documentation of my issue. Had they simply issued a refund, I would have been happy to pick this back up and resubscribe to a working app, but now, I’m paying them and they’re stalling by requesting time and effort from me before they will give me my money back for an app that I CANNOT USE 😡😢😞. I would love for you to fix the app, but I don’t have time to help you beyond the documentation I’ve already provided! So terribly disappointed. 😕💸💸💸💸.Version: 4.6.0

Minor issues with the app itself.The luxury of the app and the content is fantastic, only issue I have is the media player is close to garbage. Does not matter if I’m using the phone app, or the website at on my PC. It always crashes on both the app and the website, the PC player’s detection blocks for the volume and controls at the bottom are so small if you have want to turn up the player you have to hover perfectly over the red line in the middle which is virtually impossible. Try to exit the full screen without using escape will inevitably scrub to the end of the show rather than click the full screen button. It’s clunky and terrible, but other than that love the applications..Version: 4.17.0

Good, but.....Great roadkill shows, decent app for iPad but no way of watching it on my PlayStation 4 with a big screen!?.Version: 4.0.0

Can’t cast to x box with appCan’t cast to x box with app.Version: 4.21.0

The shows are amazing, but I can't seem to watch anything for free anymoreMotorTrend is putting out amazing, quality content. Even my engine builder watches every episode of engine masters. If you have the time to watch regularly, then a subscription is no biggie. I don't have time to watch more than a handful of episodes a month, so I just browse occasionally. I hadn't been on the app for a few months and when I came back, almost everything is locked. Some shows don't even have a single free episodes to persuade you to sign up. I know beggars can't be choosers, but I can't even watch anything to see if I'd be interested in it. it use to be "watch 12 weeks ahead of time" when you signed up for a subscription, but even those shows were never free to watch on the app. Again, the content is incredible. But there's no use in having the app if I can't watch an episode or two. Maybe the commercials and sponsors of each show - there seem to be plenty - aren't paying to create the content and they need subscribers to stay alive..Version: 2.5.2

GlitchyGreat content...great shows....only problem is, it is a super glitchy app. Unplugged plenty of times, content not available comes up while you are watching it. Once they fix the problems it will be great.Version: 4.12.0

New update blowsFor some reason now none of the season episodes show to choose which one you’d like to watch, fro example I go into iron resurrection and only season 3 ep. 5 is there to choose from. This is with most shows..Version: 4.0.0

Needs improvementThis app is full of content I enjoy however the layout and other options are horrible. Adding shows you enjoy to the “my list” option is impossible. Why have a “my list” if you can’t use it? The presentation and overall navigation of the app also is horrible. I can’t just open the app and see shows I watch or continue to the next episode after I have exited the app. I constantly have to use the search option to find the show, then scroll to the season and episode I’m on to continue. It’s really ridiculous. And the app on my phone vs my fire stick tv is completely different. Whoever they hired to design and manage the app should be fired. It is not user friendly at all..Version: 3.6.2

Can’t login via Sony TVPlease update the ability to open the app on Sony TV. Chromecast is the only way to stream, however Sony have the app available?!.Version: 4.7.0

Misleading offerWas sent an email advising too hear America starting. Signed up but as not in USA I cannot access it. So after subscribing for the first month I cancelled as not worth it. Don’t send me misleading emails to a UK email address if I cannot access the content.Version: 4.9.0

Love motortrend. LOVE IT ON XBOX! UPDATEDWhat happened to the Xbox app again? Lately with new show drops it skips frequently and the subtitles don’t work. also sometimes if I started watching a show it won’t let me watch it until I start from the beginning and then I move to the spot I was at (quite frustrating) love the content though. But on my phone there is no problem. Don’t get me wrong I love on the go. But engines are much better through the soundbar and the skipping really makes a person miss the show and especially without subtitles. If this problem can be fixed I’ll update my review but as of right now because the Xbox app is unwatchable it’s gotta be a one from me dawg..Version: 4.9.2

Review-faster with Finnegan is not very good, time to find a replacement..Version: 4.25.0

Horrible to watch on the tv!!Why does it have to take 5 whole minutes for the page to load for any show on my tv? Works perfectly on my computer and phone, but not the tv. And the tv will load Netflix and other sites perfectly fine as well. Y’all need to fix this As well as when I search top gear, why does it show “extra gear” and “top gear best hits” I wanna see what I typed in but no, it’s 6 channels away, which also takes a long time to load And the continue watching section doesn’t update when I finish an episode so I have to re search “top gear” go all the way down to the actual show, go to the correct season, then finally, if it’ll even load, I’m watching the next episode.Version: 3.6.3

Zero ContinuityGot this app because of the fantastic Top Gear Collection, and will keep it for that reason. However, it’s obvious that Motor Trend is years behind in Streaming, specially for long TV series. The app will not remember what season, what episode, what minute, or what second you left your watching on after you’ve left the app for a few minutes. I’m already in season 5 of Top Gear and every time I get back, it prompts me to “Keep Watching S02, Episode 1”. I have to manually scroll to the season I am, then find the episode, and then scroll to where I left off if I’m lucky enough to remember. These episodes are an hour or so long, so it’s very unlikely that I’m always going to finish each of them in one sitting. I love the fact that there is a Ruku TV app for this and I can watch Top Gear in a huge TV, it’s truly nostalgic and beautiful. Hence, Motor Trend, please fix the continuity, let me watch something on my TV and then pick up at the same place in my phone and then continue while I’m at my lunch break at work and then when I’m back home. I love Top Gear and this app is nicely built, but please fix that. Sincerely, Stig’s Angry Cousin.Version: 3.2.4

They fixed somethingNo more auto-playing videos.. FINALLY! Motortrend, your next job; don’t show videos that are “UNAVAILABLE IN YOUR AREA” thank you.Version: 2.6.2

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Over???What the actual (*&%^ have you done to the AppleTV version of this app?!?!?! The last update completely hosed everything. It is slow as molasses. And When the show you want to watch finally does load the seasons are in random order and if you were watching them in order you have to figure out which season you were on, find it in the scrambled order of seasons at the top, then scroll thru episodes trying to find where you were (Extras are a prime example where you 40ish seasons for Roadkill or DED - it’s impossible to find where you were in the watching order so you can see the latest episode) Bottom line you need to fix this now or I may walk and take my money back. edit**I tried the suggested fix and it’s like whomever wrote that has never seen an AppleTV. I will try to uninstall/reinstall, but I’m not hopeful Edit again*** nope still ^*^&%ed up..Version: 4.1.0

Where are the showsI paid 50$ and now I can’t watch any shows. They’re no longer on the app..Version: 4.48.0

Love the contentBut it runs like crap all the time stopping and not starting very frustrating.Version: 4.15.0

Needs offline download and watchingI love MT and all the original content. I used to watch Ignition and Head to Head regularly in YT when I workout or when I have long flights. I actually subscribed and still continue to pay because I love the content and want to support MT. All that being said it’s been over a year since I’ve watched content because I still watch YT on offline mode in my use needs, but the app doesn’t support it. Despite loving the content, I’m actually considering ending my subscription because I haven’t watched in more than a year and it doesn’t seem like offline watching is on its way anytime soon..Version: 2.6.2

GarbageApp is useless on my Sony smart tv you cannot use the up or down arrows in app to select log in, the tv recognizes that I am pushing the button but the app will not move left right or up and down so you cannot select anything to use the app. I am canceling my subscription since I cannot select login to watch anything. This issue has been going on for several months and does not work after the last patch on the app, pretty lame since every other app works just fine That’s a terrible response from the developer, instead of offering a solution you tell me I wrote my review in the wrong place....... an app should work on all platforms not just iOS if you only offer iOS support for technical issues then it should only be available on iOS if you can offer me a solution then I will change my review I pay the subscription through my phone so I don’t see how it is any different but I guess I will also leave my review in the google play store as well.Version: 4.9.1

Still can’t watch content in Australia.Most of the shows I originally purchased the subscription to watch are unavailable in Australia.... and the app even suggests I should watch them.... would if I could....Version: 4.0.0

CancelCant get it to stream to my smart tv anymore, now its going to Discovery plus?? Time for me to cancel.Version: 4.48.0

Tons of content but no download optionThe Motortrend app has a TON of great content, but for some reason no download option. Without that it’s useless to me. Once that becomes available I’ll subscribe..Version: 4.13.0

Great until it doesn’t workGreat choice of programs and no issues until an update has stopped streaming to the TV. Support are helping but no one seems to be able to work out what is happening. Will have to cancel if it isn’t sorted out soon..Version: 4.0.0

Not very happy!My husband was enjoying his shows and when he did an update he was booted off the app and it won’t allow him back on. We have paid for a subscription for a year!!!.Version: 4.48.0

If i dont turn on notifications it will give you a pop up everytime you open the appWack.Version: 4.13.2

Need support the app or website are not workingAll I getting is black screen. When trying to open the app on my iPhone 13pro or on the website on the phone but my laptop the site works please support with my issue.Version: 4.47.1

Uk viewers don’t botherQuite simply, if you live in the uk, you don’t get access to ALL the shows. Don’t bother eating time or money..Version: 2.6.2

Can’t watchSo many shows we can’t watch where I live and they are not available here on Pay Tv either. So why is that. Original content is great..Version: 3.2.0

Sucks nowI just updated the app and now it sucks What happened to the shows.Version: 4.48.0

Zero StarIf I wanted Discovery+ I would have got it. I subscribed to Motortrend for a reason! This used to be the best app/service. Now I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. If I could give a zero star I would..Version: 4.48.0

Not good anymoreGot rid of built in video player, is now on discovery+ and all my watch history / resume where I left off is gone. Forced me to update and then asked for a review of the app. Very dissatisfied..Version: 4.48.0

Love the content but…Customer service just sucks. I reached out because my renewal didn’t work and we were working through the issue until they ghosted me. To compete with other top streaming apps, this one needs profiles so my son can save his own “My Stuff”. Another one that grinds my gears is that the app should show the original air date on all episodes so we know the year at least..Version: 4.27.0

Content gone with no noticeYou start watching a series in the Uk one day and the following day only the title is left and all the episodes are gone. Some sort of notice would be nice. Now going to have to find alternative ways to watch the series other than motor trend that have been started but now gone missing. Your loss.Version: 4.0.0

Automatic renew should not be the default option.MT wouldnt refund me for me missing the deadline. I cancelled immediately after i got the 60$ charge. The havent ised this service for almost a whole year because 1. i wasnt happy with the app or the lack of content at the time. and 2. when i went to cancel the first time ( a month into my subscription ) it had said my account was no longer holding a subscription. I though nothing of it and forgot about it. THE PROBLEM is that by default it was set to automatic renewal which is BS. They sent one email that i overlooked because i get “Motor Trend Newsletter” several times a day on top of other emails. no second notice email the day before or anything like that. They seemed pretty set on not refunding me and faulting me becaise i missed it. i also requested the cancellation an hour or so after i was charged (3am my time ) i could understand if it was a week or a month but no, a few hours ( because i was sleeping at the time it charged me ) they wont refund me. not worth it. ive never had a company act like this of refunding. seems like they want all the money they can get. Great job Motor Trend!.Version: 3.2.1

Matto Vancouver IslandThe app could be easier to use, same goes for the website. However, I’m a retorded so who cares what I think. Remember when roadkill was fresh and new? I should start putting out content! Keep your eyes out for something new and entertaining..Version: 4.15.1

WtafDon’t give them your money its very hard to cancel your subscription it makes you jump though hoops and misleads you.Version: 2.6.8

Bring back the old appNot the best app it has glitches when using it on a fire tv stick and it’s the only app that does that.Version: 4.43.0

Total bummerI’m revising my previous 3 star review. I LOVE the content. But the management in charge of the app and the scheduling is doing EVERYTHING they can to lose subscribers. First off the app is an absolute disaster. This was the main complaint of my last review and they’ve done absolutely nothing to try and fix it. They put out an update saying you can now stream, still can’t stream. You search specific shows like Roadkill Garage, it doesn’t show up. It’s genuinely so bad you have to laugh. Honestly though, the content was so good I just dealt with it. But now, they’ve totally changed how the content is published. Before every major show was published monthly. This meant every week I had some new episode of my favorite shows I could watch. Now they are trying to be clever and only publish one show at a time in specific batches... then it’s gone for 40 WEEKS! It’s infuriating. I’m done paying a premium for the silly games these guys play. They’re clearly amateurs in the world of running a streaming app and it shows. Every good thing they had going seemed to be a failure. Myself and many other subscribers (just check reddit and other online forums) are cancelling and plan to just binge watch when our favorite shows get published. Before I had to stay subscribed year round. Now I get to choose when I pay them money. So I guess I should thank them for saving me some cash..Version: 3.6.1

Dirt everydayI started watching the motor tread shows,on YouTube years ago. My favourite show quickly became dirt everyday and that was the main reason why I have my subscription. I was very disappointed when it was canceled Fred and Dav were such a great team. Maybe some day motor tread will revamp the dirt everyday show into maybe some long term projects with two buddies hanging out in there shops building cool stuff and trying it out and showing the views that not every project goes as planned and how the planing process starts and changes when problems arise.Version: 4.27.0

Good but could be better.A lot of content is not available in Australia. I see all this great content I can’t watch. Disappointing..Version: 2.6.8

Countless issues, be aware if buying for WEC / lemansThis company bought the exclusive rights to broadcast WEC in the United States so you are forced to pay them for access. Unfortunately if you don’t want to watch qualifying live you won’t ever see it again, and watching the race on replay is hit or miss. This weekends event was shockingly listed to stream but they forgot the commentary so it’s 6 hours of car noises which is pointless. I’m a dozen emails into it with support and they basically gave up. The commentary works on the TV app but unfortunately that’s the only streaming service of a dozen or so I use on my androidTV that doesn’t play smooth video, maybe 20fps and stutters along. Watching live is worse. If there was another way to watch WEC I would never pay for this because it’s unusable at times and mediocre when it does work. Be aware you will be frustrated and likely give up and find a stream online and find it higher quality too which is depressing when trying to do the right thing and pay for it..Version: 4.32.0

Was great...The app still is good, and the content too. The 1-star is since the discovery take-over which has changed the release schedule from the monthly arrangement as it was for each show to a weekly ‘season’ for the 12 episodes. As there are only a couple of the shows I have a real interest in this is a complete waste of money so I’ll be cancelling my subscription, and wait until the next complete seasons of what I want to watch are out and then binge on them for a few weeks. A total waste of money at the moment so hopefully they’ll see the issue with their planned release schedule changes..Version: 3.6.2

Content availabilityVery disappointing that not all content is available in Australia. But yes it is still $10 a month.Version: 2.5.2

Can’t login to my accountEver since the new update I can’t login it says no account is made and then I click forgot password and it says it sent an email but I never get one. It also doesn’t let me subscribe when I made a new account I can’t watch roadkill or anything.Version: 4.47.1

This app is hot garbageI’ve watched Motortrend for a long time on my Apple TV but the app just keeps getting worse and worse. A few months ago i got fed up with the glitchy app and shady subscription options and let it expire. I just subscribed again because i figured maybe it would be better by now plus there are new episodes of shows i like but it’s the same old crap from the app. I subscribed on my iPhone like usual for $4.99/month. But to watch some shows you have to be a “premium subscriber” which is apparently $5.99/month. Cool, i guess. Not too big a deal. Kept trying to follow the prompts in the app (on a newest generation apple tv) and it just takes you in a loop. I finally just went on my phone and bumped up the subscription to premium but the app doesn’t recognize it. Now, even if i cancel, I’m going to be charged for a month of service. I tried contacting the Motortrend help people last time and never got an answer. Keep your money and stay away from this app..Version: 4.41.0

So frustratingStop showing so much content that isn’t available in my country..Version: 3.2.3

Wheeler dealers series 20-21I can’t watch These series I can’t watch keeps come if up with try again later help !?.Version: 3.6.2

Great.... but!Love the motortrend app but please please can you make the auto play feature optional, it makes it hard to keep track of what shows you have and haven’t watched and end up finding some that you’ve missed..Version: 3.6.1

Horrible motorsports providerUnfortunately the only way to watch British Superbike and FIM Endurance World Championship in Canada but the race replays randomly disappear and the seasons are incomplete. Support does “not have the information” on when race replays expire. Garbage service, wish BSB and EWC would just get their own video passes like MotoGP, MotoAmerica, et al..Version: 4.12.0

It should be minus 4 starsGreat concept. Great shows. Somehow someone created an app that is absolute crap. Was it designed in a middle school classroom? I would love one time to get it to open and play properly. Just one time where i don't have to reboot my device because the app plays slow or has two audios playing at the same time about 2 seconds apart or doesn't crash and close 5 times in the first 4 minutes. This is no joke or exaggeration. Had i have known the app was this crappy i wouldn't have wasted my money. Get it together guys and build a functional app. You guys are mainstream and act like like no one has a clue or even cares. Come to think of it... minus 4 is too nice..Version: 4.1.0

No where near as good as it was before they did this new layout updateVery confusing , not very good any more, used to love this app. Think I will canes me sub short if it doesn’t improve.Version: 3.2.0

Absolute wastePoorly developed app. Programs disappear or are blocked due to geofencing then 30 mins later are available to watch again. Ticket logged with their support team and their response is if I am located in the US then it will work. I am. Doesn’t work. Do not waste your money on this subscription..Version: 4.2.1

Bring back the old Searching and NavigationThe new design has a really bad user experience making it difficult to find shows to watch. The feed of new things to watch is cluttered with daily shows and doesn’t seem include other non Motortrend shows.Version: 3.0.3

AwfulDo not try!! Doesnt let you cancel your subscription, a subscription that you had to start and give your bank details just to get a 14 day free trial. The app and the website is awful. When you try to contact the subscription department the website freezes..Version: 4.2.0

Great on iPad bad on XboxWorks great on the iPad but is laggy to the point of unwatchable on an xbox.Version: 4.13.0

Great content, but app still needs workWhen making videos full screen, there is no longer the black bars framing the show, they are bright white and really detract from the viewing experience. Please also allow users to turn off Auto play also. Aside from that, I am ok with the geo blocked content (Australia), as it is a reduced rate for the motortrend exclusive content. Happy to amend review to 5 stars once the two above issues are fixed in the next update..Version: 4.4.0

No International RightsSadly the site does not own international rights on all titles, would have liked to have known this before subscription, sadly now cancelled there is obviously great content but not available everywhere.Version: 4.9.0

App is bad, and there’s not even an app on Xbox reallyThe Xbox app is how I usually watch and they could never get it to work right so now you have to download the phone app and the Xbox one to screen cast from your phone in order to watch anything, the Xbox app literally just pulls up a screen that says, use your phone. And then when you pause the video on the Xbox screen it continues to play the video frame by frame really slowly and if you hit play it just continues from whatever the frames on. So you CANNOT pause it. The only reasons I keep this app is for roadkill, roadkill garage, engine masters, and roadworthy rescues. If it wasn’t for those channels i would stop paying for this load of garbage. Fix your app and your Xbox app and bring our episodes faster i pay a monthly fee to use your service for an hour..Version: 4.26.0

Don’t botherDid the app update and now the show I was watching is not available. I was already not entirely happy after the shows they advertise on facebook are not actually available on the app. Save your money.Version: 4.0.0

Wanted to love this appWish I could give this 5 stars as the content deserves but let down by poorly optimised app which crashes frequently and for some reason doesn’t give me full screen anymore!? Again content is great but app is just garbage.Version: 4.5.0

Great Content, mediocre app functionalityThree stars given as an average. Content is a solid 5 but the app functionality is a One star for me. On current Apple TV with all software updates, app goes black when Apple TV goes to sleep making the TV appear to be off. This is unlike Every other app, after the unit goes to sleep. Clicking a show link on initial launch of the app will cause the same program’s audio to play twice (with a delay between them) at the same time. This can only be resolved with a full restart of the Apple TV. Currently, I can’t even access the Home Screen content without navigating through other menus to find that show. So many functionality & navigational issues for such great content. I keep hoping that these issues get resolved with “the next” app update but the app still has issues on all of my Apple TV’s after several different updates and over a long period of time. Please fix this app, I Love the content but often don’t watch because I don’t want to make time to successfully launch a show..Version: 4.17.0

RedemptionUpdate: decided to cancel my Moto Trend app. They canceled/ended Throttle Out show. There’s not enough motorcycle content to keep me Interested. I had an issue with billing a while back. They had updated there app and booted me off with no clear way too sign back on. I was upset considering I paid for a year subscription and this was barely 3 weeks into it. However, when I contacted them they were really nice and even called me truly wanting to resolve the issue which they did. I was happy. The channel/app it’s self is great. Pretty easy to navigate, lots of moto content. Personal note, I wish the had more motorcycle stuff but Throttle Out is great. I’d love to see a type of sports center for all Motorsports and I think they could pull it off!.Version: 3.6.2

User Needs...I love the content, do not get me wrong. But I use the app on my phone, and the recent update just eliminated my chance of streaming it to a device. That was qualm #3. Moving in reverse order, #2 is that there is no way to set up a “playlist” or even play the next episode of the series (if available). #1 is that all episodes are in reverse order. That is good to promote the most recent episode, but if that series is interesting, I would want to start at the beginning. Instead, now you have to work you way backwards as if you are in a time machine that magically ages the hosts in reverse. Please don’t think that I am just being over the top for no reason, but I have been a full MotorTrend on Demand subscriber for close to a year. These are my biggest issues since I started. The content is above approach, but the app lacks that sense..Version: 2.6.3

The interface needs to be fixedI got the streaming subscription for the soul reason to watch topgear. There’s just one problem. The interface is awful ( im speaking for a console interface) typing is slow and sluggish, You can’t save shows only episodes. when going forward you can’t see what part of the film you are on you just have to guess. when you press back from the fast forward like when you accidentally press it, it sends you back to main menu, and then it does not save your spot in the episode so you have to fast forward. By far the worst interface, but the show selection is good and snappy start up time.Version: 3.6.3

Motor Trend Cable Subscription Doesn’t WorkJust like some others have pointed out that and you have responded that with a cable subscription you can go to the website or Motor Trend Go app. The problem is you don’t get the full library like Top Gear and Overhaulin for example. There are only like 4 shows available and not even complete. I know when Discovery rebranded and partnered with motor trend a lot of things went away. You guys should change this if you haven’t started working on it or if you have and it just hasn’t been implemented yet. Especially when you have people paying cable/satellite companies it’s only fair and proper to include all content and those who want to cut the cord and buy everything separately can do so..Version: 3.3.0

Great content, Crapy appLove the Motortrend content but this app has got to be the most unfriendly user interface on the planet. When casting to the tv the controls will disappear, the episode being watched will disappear and other episodes will start. When you go back to view the next show it is hard to find. ‘Continue watching’ is poorly named and to find what you have been watching is near on impossible. It’s junk..Version: 4.6.0

Could be much much betterAlthough recent updates have improved the user experience there is still a hell of a lot of room for improvement. There is still too many bugs that often means you have to reboot the app before it will work properly - eg a video playing with the holding image stuck over the top so you get audio but no moving pictures. Much of the content is blocked outside the US despite that content not being available locally - I know this is down to complicated legal issues but but if I can’t watch the programming on my local services I should still be able to watch it on the App seeing as I’m paying for it. Either sort out the legal issues or reduce the subscription prices to reflect what you can watch. Also there is no way to adjust settings like picture quality. I’m fed up watching poor quality pictures because the app decides my download speed is too low. Just give me the option to pick what quality I’m happy to watch and I’ll deal with the buffering. Being able to download and watch offline would also be a massive help. I get the feeling that the app developers aren’t monitoring how the app works after they change things. I’m getting to the point of wanting to cancel my subscription because the problems outweigh the benefits - which is a shame as I’d rather give my money directly to programme makers than to rely on the advertising to fund things..Version: 2.3.2

Love the programming but...I live the programming here but the app leaves something to be desired. Often when I open the app it will start the last place I left off which is awesome except I can hear where I left off but still see the menu and not the program. The app often simply will not display where you left off. The favoriting system is difficult and often useless. The programming access keeps me coming back but these buggy issues are a bit annoying. I won’t leave over it but I would pay a bit more to see the app work better..Version: 3.6.2

Good app but needs refinement.Good app but I wish it would support iPad keyboard control as well. I find the on screen playback controls laggy and too small of a touch area. When I seemingly touch a control like to go back 10-15 seconds, it instead makes the controls go away with a bunch of lag. Just enable forward and back control from the iPad Magic Keyboard like most other apps have done. Physical buttons are preferred due to their responsiveness and less chance of accidental touch. Also I keep getting notifications on shows I’ve already watched and the badge icons wont go away, making me think I missed a show when I really haven’t. Other times I Never get a notification that a new show is dropped!.Version: 4.34.0

Gear head nirvana.It’s great, unless you live outside the USA, then you only get certain shows, you should get them all, or get a cheaper subscription..Version: 2.6.8

Need moreNeed more original programming and stop trying to get me to watch all the terrible made for tv car make over shows.Version: 4.2.0

Certain they sold my email address to spam listsI normally get no spam emails at all, not for years. Within hours of registering for this app I’ve already received spam mail from four separate sources. Haven’t given this address to anyone else. Extremely unimpressed..Version: 4.9.1

Graveyard carsAll season are not available for viewing?.Version: 3.6.2

What happenedI’ve been a long time user and subscriber to Motortrend+ since they came out. Unfortunately recently this system has been nothing but disappointing. Every time I try to watch a show I have to choose a subscription as if I haven’t already paid. 50% of the time it just sits there and tries to load and the other 50% of the time I can watch shows. Ever since I renewed my subscription this year ive been having this issue. It to mention the difficulty signing in on other devices. This app used to be fantastic but recently I feel it’s gone down the drain. Not to mention their customer support is not exactly easy to get a hold of with the support messages “failing” every time I attempt to reach out for help. Unfortunate to say but I might now renew my subscription when the time comes..Version: 4.34.0

Very buggy content getting worseUpdate: The update notes still aren’t for shilling, tell me what you tried to fix. So many bugs and issues there’s should be plenty of actual info to share. Bring back the extras and stop with the “we’ll lose the shop” scripted shows. This app used to be the ticket for watching some of the best original gear head content out there. Now it’s more and more scripted reality TV stuff and less and less roadkill and dirt every day. Thankfully the hosts are one by one starting their own YT channels. I don’t think I’ll be here much longer. Also, the release notes are where you tell us what you fixed. Not where you shill for the latest discovery channel refuge show..Version: 4.9.1

Can’t sign inI have a subscription, and yet after installing there is only an option to sign up..Version: 3.6.2

Sad dayPay for the app to watch the Le man and it doesn’t even work on the fire stick. 👎🏼👎🏼.Version: 4.36.1

No GYCNo graveyard carz in France !!! Why??.Version: 4.1.0

Advertised content not availableThe robbers at Mototrend list a bunch of shows in the app. But when you try to watch em they’re restricted based on region. My beef is they give you an impression you can access this content when you can’t. It’s dishonest..Version: 3.3.1

Waste of time for Australian viewersSo far 10 out 12 shows I have tried to watch are not available due to location. And of course they are all the good shows that are not available. Glad I’m still in the trial period. I could try a VPN but then that’s another expense again for a service that way to expensive for Australian market. Your subscription should be 1/3 of the price if most shows are not available.....Version: 3.0.2

DownloadHaving a download feature would make this worthy of a 5 star rating..Version: 3.4.3

Like but don’t likeI love watching MT but hate paying the same price as the US but only get to watch half the programs because I’m not in the right location 😞.Version: 3.6.2

STAY AWAY!! Updated!!Updated - original post remains following the update. After three days and literally multiple dozens of emails I was able to get it somewhat resolved. Very long story short, you cannot subscribe through Apple if you have canceled in the past. You must subscribe directly through MotorTrend. While they didn’t directly say it, it was intimated that MT is trying to avoid the commission Apple charges them through the App Store. It is unreal the number of emails it took to get to the bottom of this. The install instructions could be rewritten to address this, or a menu option on the app with instructions on how to deal with it. I really hope Overhaulin’ is worth it as it’s really the only show that has my interest. STAY AWAY!! I subscribed to this app through the Apple App Store. The app will not let me access programming unless I ALSO subscribe through MotorTrend. I don’t think their programming is worth paying twice. I’ve exchanged nearly a dozen emails with MotorTrend with no resolution. Apple is refunding my subscription. I won’t give my payment info to MotorTrend. After this epic failure in their support service I don’t trust them with my info. If MotorTrend wishes to fix this, they have my email address..Version: 3.4.3

Download RequiredAs someone who travels regularly and often spends time on sites with no WiFi I like to download programmes to my iPad to watch. Sadly lacking here.Version: 3.6.2

Not worth £4.99 pmNot worth £4.99 pm.Version: 3.6.2

Good content but the app is super glitchy.Needs a few bug fixes.Version: 4.24.0

Doesn’t work on Apple TV (updated)Can not scroll down, makes the noise like it’s doing something but can only go left and right. - Update, still doesn’t work. I have gotten emails from MT suggesting some workarounds like using my phone as a remote (didn’t work) and today’s, and this is the best yet. Changing my AppleTV 4K and TV settings to 1080 as suggested by other users, and apparently MotorTrend thought they’d pass that info along. Yep, downgrade the quality when watching MT. Of course I’d have to go back and redo everything when watching streaming apps that actually work. Basically if MT was Chevy, they would take your perfectly running Camaro, change some stuff for like no reason, give you your Camaro back.. and when you find out it no longer goes into gear, they will suggest you just push it down a hill. Absolutely ridiculous..Version: 4.11.0

DO NOT BOTHER IF IN AUSTRALIAIf you live in Australia do not even bother getting the free trial or a subscription, there is more shows that you cannot watch than shows you can watch. What a waste of time, the few shows that you can watch are rubbish and only short 10 min episodes. Don’t bother, what a let down..Version: 3.3.0

Does not support older devicesLove the product but hate the app. I use an older I pad and I no longer can use to stream app. I also figured out the Motortrend does not have a record of my membership so I can not stream from my computer. Next time I will deal direct with motortrend and avoid the app..Version: 4.28.0
