Mountain Bike Action Magazine for Negative User Reviews
✓ After last update I lost All my magazinesAfter last update I lost All my magazines and the app is charging me for the issues that I have bought. Im really unsatisfied, I have subscription since july 2013 and now I can download a single issue without paying for it again, besides the fact that the previous ones are lost!!!.Version: 6.61
✓ Broken appHaving the same issue with downloads. no longer works after deleting and downloading all issues twice. buggy app..Version: 32
✓ Outdated2yrs since last app update. Not optimized for any more recent versions of iPhones, looks like it was last revised for fitting iPhone 8 screen ratio..Version: 49.9
✓ New version crashSince I download the latest version it crash when I open the app..Version: 3.0.12
✓ Love the magazine but app has a problemI love the magazine and have been a subscriber for years but the latest version of the Newsstand app won't keep downloaded issues. Whenever I close the app, or haven't opened it in several days I need to re-download issues which I have previously downloaded. It never used to do this..Version: 6.61
✓ Very Frustrating!Love the content, however the poor app performance (download an issue, yet can't view offline half the time or app tries to re-download?!?) and lack of customer service warrant only one star. I'm actually about to cancel my subscription I'm so frustrated. The app is an obvious afterthought and not a priority with the parent company of Mountain Bike Action..Version: 32
✓ Great Mag - Tech difficultiesAwesome content (5 stars) but new build crashes (1 star). Averages out to a three. Reinstalled app and now crashes on same page every time...weird. Let's get this back up and running quickly...new issue is out!.Version: 3.0.12
✓ BewareSo I went to the Mountain bike action website, that then prompted me to get the app, but once you get the app and subscribe you cannot get the magazine subscription on your pc as well as your phone. I think you have to subscribe through the website first. Also, on the app the words get jumbled up or covered by a picture so that you can't read what it says in the "text" setting.Version: 32
✓ Offline Reading?Recently travelled via plane and hoped to catch up on some reading; however, I discovered that I can’t read the magazine when off line. Disappointing for sure.Version: 49.9
✓ TiresomeI love the magazine, but the app is next to worthless. Get the print edition and save yourself some headaches..Version: 49
✓ WTHWhat is going on with this app?!? Worked fine until the latest July, 2013 update.. Now it crashes while loading app.... UPDATE. You need to delete the app which also deletes all your issues and information. Reinstall the app and re download all issues. yay... I will now be spending the next 48-72 hrs re-downloading my issues, also taking up my very limited Canadian bandwidth. Thanks pixel-mags and Hi-torque publications! New UPDATE. Even with the new update and taking the time to uninstall and reinstall all data the app still crashes albeit now I can read 2-3 pages before it completely quits. Yay! Awesome update fellas. It's a crappier interface which now crashes after every 2 pages read. Only a few more months till subscription is over. Won't be taking my money again..Version: 3.0.12
✓ Mountain Bike CrashesLove the magazine but since updating the app a couple of weeks ago it keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. Is there a fix on the way or do I need to delete and re-install and if so will my subscription still be valid?.Version: 3.0.12
✓ BlowsSince its inception, this app has never been that good. But since iOS 10 and recent update, almost unusable for me. Mags will downloaded, but aren't retained. I need to be able to read them offline. New format is redundant-3 pages of article previews and then table of contents. Take a cue from Bike app....Version: 32
✓ Horrible - buggy and no offline viewingFor over a year now I've been having to delete and reinstall the app for it to hold downloaded content (or even to be able to turn on the App). That and the hours of back and forth with their “customer support” (another 1 star) is unacceptable. It was so frustrating that I cancelled my two subscriptions after4+ years. Thee are better magazines out there that you can actually read..Version: 49
✓ Mountain Bike Action notConstantly have to download the mag then do it again and again. Really poor work by the developers. Not even worth the one star. Like the physical mag but the app is a waste of time. Canceling out. Better stuff out their..Version: 49
✓ This app is horribleDon't even bother to download, it won't allow you to purchase anything. It just won't work. Very VERY disappointed. No wonder why it only costs $8.99 because they can't even get it to work. Don't waste your time and get Dirt Rag or any other magazine. At least they work!.Version: 2.4.3
✓ Useless AppCan’t even download most current issue. Current issues are on the newsstand before I even get access on the app. COMPLETELY USELESS!!!!!.Version: 49
✓ Totally unstable/unusableYou would think developers would read reviews. I’ve had this app for years and still the same buggy app.wont let you read downloaded magazines, takes ages to download and then after you download it starts to download again, then refuses to open if you don’t have online connection. If only there was someone that could give the developer a kick up the backside for a poor product..Version: 49.9
✓ Doesn’t retain downloadsI hate the time I have to waste deleting the app and reloading each time I’ve had an app update to try and rectify loss of offline reading. Combine this with then going through the back and forth with the app developers when that doesn’t work. I do most reading while traveling, so losing ability to read offline defeats value of having magazine on my iPad. It was a stable app for years, but last 2 years not so much..Version: 49
✓ Unusable after last update.Canceled subscription after many, many years because latest version of app is unusable. App will now not open on iPad Pro unless I’m connected to Wi-Fi. Brilliant - let’s make an app on a portable device that you can’t use if you’re outside of an internet connection. It’s like they’re trying to get subscribers to bail. Well, congratulations, it worked. See ya..Version: 53.2
✓ Lost my issueI bought a single issue a couple years ago to try it out. I keep trying to restore that issue. The app tells me I've restored my purchases but it doesn't show up. In fact nothing comes up past 2013. I guess I have a year to look at my magazine before it disappears. Thanks for nothing MBA..Version: 6.61
✓ Sad but trueI hate to give this such a bad review but the app is pointless!!! It just takes you to newsstand to buy an reversion of the magazine. That is lame!!! I thought there would be bike reviews and product reviews and links to sites. But non of that is there. I guess I'll just stick to the paper version of the magazine and your Facebook updates:(.Version: 3.1.2
✓ Looks free here but you have to pay $2.99 for the content!Don't fool users!.Version: 2.5.3
✓ Not free! Don't waste ur time! They want $3.49/issue!!Thinking there's some "free" material here. U have to pay $3.49/issue! What a waste of time this was.. Well they fooled me, that's for sure!.Version: 9.0
✓ Good magazine bad applicationI like the magazine so I subscribed through the application. One edition then when the second one came out it asked me to pay for it. It will not unsubscribe therefore I cannot re subscribe. Stupid app..Version: 3.1.2
✓ Terrible appAwful performance, no download ability, overall extremely frustrating to use..Version: 32
✓ Need to rewrite the appIt does no work with the new iOS. Don't waste your money. I like the magazine, maybe in a year or so I'll go back to a paper subscription..Version: 32
✓ Great magazine, totally useless appLike everyone says here, the magazine will fail to download rending offline reading impossible. I’ve reinstalled the app several times, solves the issue for single magazine, them no download again. Love the magazine but their decision to go with such incompetent publisher (hi-torque), will force me to cancel subscription. Really painful as would love to support high quality journalism in our industry..Version: 32
✓ TerribleWorst magazine app ever. I would give it negative stars if possible. Doesn’t download issues for reading offline and customer support is nonexistent as shown by this long-running problem..Version: 49
✓ End of a subscriptionI have enjoyed the digital magzine for the last year. I looked forward to downloading it the first of every month then going through it slowly a page at a time. I particularly liked the hyperlinks to the advertisers that let me chose the ones I wanted more information on. However, recently the magazine went with a new compnay to deliver the digital content And bam my access is gone. I sent a help message a was basically told complain to intunes... So needless to say my subscription is over. It is sad as I truly enjoyed the content. However, it is not worth the hassel of fighting to get the back issues and to download the currnt issue. I do not recommend the digital version..Version: 6.61
✓ Interactive tablet?Is there ever going to be a tablet version of the mag? I subscribe to BIKE and am pretty bummed that it's basically just a scan of the mag. It's handy, but by no means high tech or exciting like TransWorld Snow or PopSci. Bring it on!.Version: 2.2.6
✓ Could be betterHave to agree with the other reviews. The Table of Contents screen is completely useless and the screen comes up every time you open an issue. It would also be nice if the app remembered what page you were on when you reopen an issue..Version: 32
✓ Bug????I subscribed to your magazine but can't read it... It crashes! Get it fixed please!!!!! P.S. I was able to vew lately but somethin occurred cause i can't anymore. 😫 Thanks..Version: 3.0.12
✓ Works like ballsWaste.Version: 49.9
✓ Not workingPlease update! Not working since last update, not enough people complained already?.Version: 3.0.12
✓ App does not workAfter the last update, I can no longer read my magazines.Version: 3.0.14
✓ Good app gone badWhat a HUGE step backwards this update has been. Very disappointed..Version: 6.61
✓ App will not open.Loved it for two months, updated last week, now it won't open at all. Fix this ASAP, please..Version: 3.0.12
✓ Terrible appLove the magazine but this app is worthless. You have to load the magazine every time you want to read it. Therefore it's unreadable when you don't have the internet and it also does not remember where you last stopped reading. Please fix this. It's like having a bike with no wheels..Version: 32
✓ ERRORI purchased all magazines from Jan 2019 - Aug 2019...and then proceeded to download all onto my iPad for offline reading. I can only view 2 of the magazines. All the others tell me there’s an error, with no way to fix. What a waste of money!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!.Version: 49
✓ Great mag, bad appI have to download the issue over and over, which looses my place every time. Text mode articles are not properly aligned with page mode articles, so when I try to switch to text mode for an article, I'm often put into a completely different article. Frustrating. Think I'll cancel and get the dead tree edition instead..Version: 6.61
✓ Love the magazine hate the appHave been a subscriber for over 10 years. The magazine is a great product for the mt bike community!! This app... no this excuse of an app doesn’t store the issues for offline use and now on my iPad Air it’s not even allowing me to view or attempt to download the issues. I’ll miss the magazine but not this app. Deleting this with a little over two months left in the subscription period because it’s absolutely useless..Version: 49
✓ Something brokeI used to download a bunch of issue for a trip now you can't download any. I watch it progress through the download progress until about 60%, then it stops. When you try to read again later you have to download again. What happened???.Version: 32
✓ Not using full travelLike the sweet pun? App still works fine, but not optimised for iPhone 5. You need to zoom on the phone, so making use of the screen makes sense..Version: 2.5.8
✓ Account disabled, current and back issues lostI purchased several single issues and a yearly subscription one year ago and have had nothing but problems since MBA switched to another app provider. My account promptly disabled and I never received my last issue. All of my older single issues disappeared as well. After contacting MBA support, I was instructed to contact the app store as it was their problem. This was, of course, incorrect as MBA is responsible for the content not Apple. I was also given a canned response that restoring my content would restore my account which of course failed. Also, in the canned response was a statement stating that older issues would be restored “in a few months”. Huh? Good luck if you buy this app. I would recommend waiting until their migration to this new provider has worked out the bugs..Version: 6.61
✓ CrashesLike others have mentioned, after the last update, this App crashes when you launch it on both the iPhone and iPad. It would be nice if this is fixed prior to the release of the next issue as it makes a subscription worthless if you can't launch the App to view the mag!.Version: 3.0.12
✓ Worthless app, great magazineHow a quality magazine like Mountain Bike Action can choose such an inept digital publisher is beyond me. To MBA STAFF: try using this worthless piece of &$&@ and not being totally embarrassed. You rant about industry wheel sizes and publish letters about companies not living up to their warranties but you take people's money and don't deliver the agreed to product..Version: 32
✓ NewsstandAdvert for magazine subscriptions. Cant delete? Bad news. Next day , still cannot delete..Version: 2.5.8
✓ Echo others: Content is good, tech is notThe magazine is good. But it can't handle my reading platform (6s). No zoom on photos -screen does not even rotate so the photos look bigger. Some text overlaps or does not exist, as in the sentence does not finish. Silly stuff that should be easy to fix. I'd have paid a couple of bucks more for a more modern website. It's like looking at the Internet on my old horizontal-hinged flip phone. The content is there but it's such a tease..Version: 28
✓ Latest update?Worked fine before the latest update. If it ain't broken, don't fix i? Hope you provide another update soonest, that will work once more!.Version: 3.0.12
✓ Another version without a critical bug fixNot sure how long I've been waiting but the ability to resume reading after returning still doesn't work. Support has acknowledged it's a known bug, so fix it already. No way I'd recommend this or renew with this type of support. Great content too. Shame..Version: 9.0
✓ Almost unusableGoes through a torturously slow content load process before allowing user to access the magazine - and it does this every time the app is opened, even for already downloaded editions..Version: 32
✓ Doesn't openApp worked fine when it was first downloaded. Loaded the update and now I can't open the magazine. Would give it 5 stars if I could open the magazine to read..Version: 3.0.12
✓ No goodGreat magazine. Terrible app. Incessant crashing. Throw your money in the garbage, at least you'll save time and frustration that way..Version: 3.0.12
✓ Slow to load..Pages slow to load even after so called downloaded the latest issue and can’t read offline. No update for 2 years as the developers/hi-torque doesn’t care about its subscribers anymore..Version: 49.9
✓ Can't Open!I've enjoyed the digital subscription for months, but now when I try to open I get 'Upgrading Database' then it crashes. Must be since the last upgrade. Please fix this!.Version: 3.0.12
✓ Bad marketingI tolerate that this is just a scan of the print copy but why do I have to pay a separate subscription for the iPad version. I already bought the subscription on my phone. I would understand if the iPad version is enhanced but it's the same price as the iPhone version. Not cool..Version: 3.1.2
✓ Horrible!Love the magazine. I've been reading it since the early 90's. However, trying to read it on the ipad has been one of the worst experiences I have ever had in my 35 years of being around computers. It is horrid beyond all words except one. Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crashhh! I am going to insist that they refund my money or they are losing a lifelong customer. Are you listening MBA?.Version: 9.0
✓ Crash!!!Since the update the app Crash when I open it. What could I do? I have paid my annual subscriptions and I cant read the mag.. :(.Version: 2.5
✓ Update crashesSince the update I can no longer access the mag.Version: 49
✓ Do not buy this appMy issues cannot be accessed when off-line and tech support is non-existent..Version: 9.0
✓ Cancelled my subscriptionI love MBA, but I’m so frustrated by this app I cancelled. I’ll try another mtb magazine..Version: 49
