Outside for Negative User Reviews

✓ Getting BetterAppreciate the ability to bookmark now. I had given 1 star. It’s up to a 3. Why only 3? Because I’ve gotten emails for years & get magazine through Apple. There’s very little difference. Still hanging in there, though..HippySam23Version: 1.1.0

✓ Weird FormatI like outside magazine when it’s in magazine form. The articles are edited in a way that allows me to digest easily and also read in a manner that an editor thought a lot about. Having some random articles in my feed really detracts from this and I feel like I’m missing out on all the different articles..Johan Sebastien BawkVersion: 1.1.1

✓ Text goes over edgeI can’t read the last couple words on the right side of the page for each line of every article in the iPad app. Before the most recent update everything was fine, now it isn’t readable..OkiebirderVersion: 1.4.0

✓ BadHave to pay subscription.YefarrenVersion: 1.1.1

✓ Great publication terrible appQuality publication. Nothing to say. App is not very well thought out. There is no way to create a home page that only shows articles from the brand you want. I am aware that there is a carousel of activités and brands at the bottom of home, but it doesn’t actually do anything! All the different pages link to the same next page, albeit with a different header and logo. Furthermore, the articles infinite cycle instead of going deeper into history? And a majority of things are not findable. Would be great if it did what it was supposed to..Realmmaster622Version: 1.3.1

✓ Falls well below the markThe app is a very poor option if you are an Outside+ subscriber in comparison to the ease of use of the website, even the mobile site. It would be nice to easily search articles or look up book marked articles while on the go from my account but there are nearly no useful features in the app. Please please improve the functionality and usefulness for subscribers. *I wasn’t aware when writing that the app is brand new. Really hoping for some updates soon.AlexpastuchaVersion: 1.0.5

✓ Horrible app, horrible website - neither work - save your money!!!App just flickers uncontrollably, same with their website 😡.GhjuuttfseVersion: 1.3.2

✓ Rating too highDoesn’t even load.Bike and hikeVersion: 1.0.4

✓ No fast forward on replay & poor search functionGreat content but no good way to consume it easily.McdonksVersion: 1.0.7

✓ No contentVery little content uploaded. Most is not that interesting.Tech_hound24Version: 1.3.1

✓ Only here for VelonewsBut i makes me look at articles from all their publications? Wish there was a setting so i could choose what i want to see..G__storrryVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Get a better app vendorIt’s useless.. for an organization that is moving into larger territory acquiring new assets etc to survive this is how we connect to you.. get it right. Stop just repeating that same we get in daily emails etc.. useless.HenryhamptonVersion: 1.0.5

✓ Stop Spoiling The Tour De FranceI like getting notified by Outside+ but could y’all quit ruining the Tour de France with your annoying push notifications?!?? For crying out loud include a link but just say “Catch up on todays tour” instead “man can you believe pogacar lost the tour today?”.Rso544Version: 1.1.1

✓ An iPad app should have been a no-brainerInstead, although this is a magazine publishing conglomerate, we just get a chunky iPhone/iPod touch app. Completely missed the mark. I can't imagine writing a user story for media in the 2020s that only services small screens..!mike¡Version: 1.0.7

✓ NOT user friendlySo difficult to use; unable to connect on any Tv devices, requires logging in again and charges for another subscription on every app I login! Incredible in this age of technology we can’t make this easier. No response from customer service..Kfall1157Version: 1.0.4

✓ Can’t login - says “oops we crashed on the way”Rinse, repeat. Can’t login. First time. Amateur hour..M_J_SVersion: 1.0.7

✓ Good Content but Poorly OrganizedPlease improve how articles are organized. To access the category filter, I have to scroll through outdated content (some posts are more than a month old) and articles that aren’t relevant to my interests. The category buttons should be at the top, and the latest articles should appear first. The current format makes the app seem stagnant..ZOMBinicVersion: 1.3.1

✓ Access to loads of articles but……the user interface when reading an article could use an update or two. Any chance you can include scroll bars so you can see how long an article is and track your progress? It would also be nice to be able to zoom in on pictures. Those seem like two basic interface elements to include in any reading app..MullerbVersion: 1.3.1

✓ It was a 5I’ve really enjoyed reading and catching everything on the app. But this week, it’s decided to quit every time I attempt to open it. Yes, it’s up to date and yes, I’ve reloaded it..Djt60Version: 1.5.1

✓ App doesn’t loadGot an email encouraging me to get the most out of my membership. Downloaded the app, logged in, and watched a white throbbing screen for 5 minutes until I closed the app. Guess that the most I can get out of membership. As a note, the Roku app is awful too….76tradesmanVersion: 1.0.4

✓ So excited, now so disappointedI was so excited to purchase the all-access subscription, what with the Velo magazine, plethora of videos - especially gravel bike related - and Trailforks access. So it is very disappointing that the iOS apps running across my two iPhones, three iPads of various ages, all crash when the videos are more than trailer length..MarkoTurnerVersion: 1.3.2

✓ Crash, crash , crashCrash crash crash. The app has not opened..AppTrailWalkerVersion: 1.0.4

✓ Great content if the app ever workedI pay for outside plus and yet I can never take advantage of the great content because the app constantly crashes whenever you attempt to play something. I can honestly say 90% of the time I try to watch something I give up..Ski bum 27Version: 1.1.1

✓ Poor quality app, not iPad specificIt’s useless trying to read this on my 12.9 inch iPad. Or any iPad. It’s a phone sized app. Nobody wants to use this on an iPad. It’s not that hard to make it work with an iPad so this is just laziness..Snookie1Version: 1.0.7

✓ DisappointedI think the other 5 star ratings must be from employees. This app is technically functional, but way below the current standard. I love the Outside magazines, but this app looks like something from 10 years ago..VtneenVersion: 1.0

✓ Seriously, I pay for Outside + but can’t access the current issue?Have looked online and on the app extensively. It states Outside + gets the subscribers access to “digital” magazines but I see no way to find current or past issues. If access is there, it isn’t user friendly..MtnrebaVersion: 1.0.5

✓ How does this have any 5 star reviews?So basic, yet so hard to use. Bye..So899Version: 1.0.6

✓ Was fine until the last monthThe app worked well for me for the first 3 months or so, but last month it started saying I wasn’t connected to the internet, and so it won’t load anything. There have been 3 successive updates but it still won’t work, doesn’t matter if I am in wifi or cellular..AGT278Version: 1.3.1

✓ Too many publications in one appI subscribed to Outside+ for the Velo cycling coverage. The articles are in this app, but they’re scattered about with articles from other Outside publications. It’s cumbersome. I just want to see Velo articles. The app needs a Settings feature to let users see just what they want to see. A separate app for each publication would be far more user-friendly..RoodooTVersion: 1.1.1

✓ Cannot see any content.Was able to login, but get a “oops, we crashed” every time I try to use the app..JoshuaswilcoxVersion: 1.0.7

✓ Cannot Log-In even though I am PayingI paid for a GAIA membership that came with 1 year of Outside+ membership and was unable to log in. So after a week or so waiting for response from their email help desk, I was told that I had two memberships with two different email addresses. They corrected the error with multiple email addresses and the very nice support ticket representative even refunded me for one of the subscriptions on an old email address. Well, turns out the problem is not fixed as my GAIA membership nor my Outside+ membership show up when I log into my account. When I try to log into this app, I get a message saying I am not a member. I know times are hard for magazines, but this is not going to help me recommend memberships and subscriptions..TheaustinkleeVersion: 1.0.6

✓ Small screenHow can you promote video and “30 publications” and yet make the decision not to support the ipad. What a bone headed decision. Either i view this content on my tiny phone screen while my ipad sits idly nearby or i run it on my ipad with the zoom function rendering everything looking really bad. I know Outside is struggling financially but this “saving” can only cost them. Insane..Itdd71Version: 1.0.3

✓ Cannot subscribeHi, Was a previous gaia user. Cannot create an outside + account. Cannot contact support. Can no longer use gaia..Grandpa I is!Version: 1.0.5

✓ Saving articlesI’d really like to be able to save articles for future reference..RkzinkVersion: 1.0.4

✓ Was ok not great now unusableWas always an ok app. Some usabilities proposed by many have been brushed off in lieu of being considered and potentially implemented. An example is the feed not being relevant for the publication of interest. In lieu of letting the user either select publication upfront ( not down toward the end of the app) you have to scroll all the way down etc. The app could use two view: subscribe and for you for example, that way one doesn’t have to do multiple scroll and click to get to it content. That said, now the app is not working at all since last release and always says : we crashed. It is not the first time a release does that. It is sad that this is happening the week of Kona- woman only!!!!!.EsmmerlausVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Formatting issueI love the app use it before, tho on the iPad mini it cuts off half of the article’s consistently. It’s frustrating going back to reading on safari for now..BoeJailey113Version: 1.4.0

✓ You wimp!Whenever I read about adventures in Outside it seems like unless it’s Patagonia or Denali it’s not worth writing about. Always OMG!! It’s EPIC!! I have to work so they’re just dreams that will probably never happen. I’d like a little more for us mortals..Cheaper runnerVersion: 1.3.2

Outside works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Outside.
