Road Bike Action Magazine for Negative User Reviews

Since update it doesn't open!!!Latest update has broken app, can't access my magazines, please fix so I can read what I have paid for, thanks!.Version: 3.0.12

Doesn't workUsed to work on my iTouch then unexpectedly stopped working all together. Customer support was contacted but the fixes suggested it was my device that was to blame...but why would the app work perfectly then suddenly stop working when I download the update?.Version: 2.5.4

Stop workingAfter updating, everything just stop working, plus one year subscription gone. Wonder what explanation will be given....Version: 2.5.4

Will not openHave tried reinstalling. Still will not open..Version: 2.5.4

Magazine ReaderThis magazine reader is the absolute worst! Completely unfunctional. Downloads are lost. Re-downloading takes hours. I'm subscribed to multiple magazines, this reader is the worst. Will cancel my subscription at the end of my term..Version: 6.61

Really bad app...Can't download my fk May issue, not the first time and is asking me to frkn pay for it... Need u to resolve this ASAP, can't be calling every month to fix the problem!!!.Version: 6.61

Finally!Brilliant - I can finally get a subscription to a US cycling mag without it costing me a fortune. But why do my downloaded mags keep disappearing? I downloaded three issues, got on a flight, then much to my dismay none of them were there when I opened the App in flight. Not happy. I'd also like to see iPad-specific features rolled out, similar to what Bicycling does. Fix the magazine storage issue and enhance the issues for iPad and you'd have a five star App..Version: 2.4.3

App will not open after updateApp now immediately crashes -- makes e-version totally unavailable..Version: 3.0.12

App constantly downloads!The App always downloads content every time you open the magazine. Ridiculous..Version: 32

Great magazine with the worst app ever!The magazine itself is great! I would give the app -1 star if I could. Laggy and buggy fails to open quite a bit. If you are like me and travel forget trying to use it on a plane. Says downloaded but it really does not. Try to download again but still nothing opens. This has been going on for over a year. My suggestion is dump this terrible app and sell through Kindle..Version: 32

UselessThe new update has rendered my Road Bike Action and Mountain Bike Action apps useless. Both apps crash making it impossible to read the magazines I have paid for..Version: 3.0.12

How stupid are you?Who doesn't test before they release something. How f'ing stupid. I want the money back for my subscriptions to this and Mountain Bike. Don't hire someone out of grade school to write your apps..Version: 3.0.12

CrashesI have NO access to my magazines. Please fix it, and I'll change my rating.Version: 3.0.12

Crashes on start upCrashes on start up.Version: 3.0.12

Good Idea Gone BadVery poor reliability... better off with the printed magazine version in the mail plus you get it sooner... with this Pixel App, you spend too much time crashing, updating and reloading your library... the same goes for the Mt. Bike Action app... good ideas gone bad.Version: 2.5.4

Bad updateUpdated today to new version 3.0.12 and the app/magazine launches and immediately crashes on my iPad. Can not get it to work at all..Version: 3.0.12

One problem!I know that for most companies now-a-days they have to sale add space to help supplement their companies income. What I'm upset about is that these adds are commercial adds and they start playing as soon as you get within a page of it. It's very annoying especially if you're playing iTunes it automatically stops playing your music and auto starts the commercial add. Road Bike Action you guys are better than this problem or put out an update so this don't keep happening..Version: 3.0.14

Unusable appEven with my blazing fast internet this app downloads magazines at dial up speed. If you want to experience what it was like in the 90s, give this app a try..Version: 49.9

Unusable appApp will not consistently download new issues, making it impossible to read offline. Please fix this!.Version: 49

Major challengesWhat happened to my subscription ?.Version: 6.61

Interesting magazine, terrible appHaven’t been able to download an issue for months. Just cancelled..Version: 32

Beta my testing?Do you pay people to test the app before release or do just hope for the best. Fix the app or return my money..Version: 3.0.12

Won't openSince the latest update it will not open. Just crashes.Version: 3.0.12

Doh,Just updated and now it crashes in opening. Not happy..Version: 3.0.12

GarbageThe latest update to the app crashes immediately every time you try and open the app. Paying for a subscription that I cannot even view..Version: 3.0.12

Used to be goodBefore the last "update", I could happily download issues and read them on the airplane or in distant wifi free places. Now, however, the issues need to download each time they are opened. Unfortunately, the superior content doesn't compensate for the severe lack of convenience.Version: 32

So close yet....NOGreat idea but..... 1. My phone keeps shutting the app down so I cannot use, have not had a fix yet 2. Cannot view on laptop like Zinio......?.Version: 2.5.1

TerribleThis app does not work. I can never sign in..Version: 49

Love the magazine, hate the updateGreat magazine, but the latest update is horrible. All it does is crash the app..Version: 3.0.12

Crap app!Like others, I am also having HUGE problems with this app. I am going to cancel my subscription..Version: 3.0.14

I used to like this app/magazineThe app updated a week or so ago. Since then when I click on the magazine in my Newstand, it pops up "Upgrading Database". A status bar shows up at the top, and barely moves. I leave my tablet thinking this will take a while. Come back, OK its done. Click on the magazine in my Newstand, it starts all over. It would be quicker if I went to the store and bought the magazine....oh wait, then why did I install this app and pay for a electronic version?!?!.Version: 3.0.14

Immediate Crash! -- FIXEDDeleting and reinstalling fixed the immediate crash issues -- but we shouldn't have to do that and lose all the data we've downloaded..Version: 3.0.12

App no longer worksThis app no longer works after the latest update. Its stuck on updating database. Please fix so we can see our purchased content..Version: 3.0.12

Magazine great, app....not so muchThis app is very frustrating. Previously downloaded issues will frequently and mysteriously become unavailable when you are reading off-line. Perhaps more frustrating than that, frequently, attempts to download issues go like this. Download percentage approaches 70%. Then, instead of receiving a “downloaded” message, closing the issue shows that it is still in “download” status, rather than “open” status- meaning the issue hasn’t downloaded. I have found that the only way to resolve this problem is to delete the app, download the app again, and then log in again. This should not be necessary, and often makes me wonder why I continue to punish myself trying to access the magazine this way. Probably should look for other content delivery options. In summary, considering the number of years this app has been around, I would say it is a solid one star app..Version: 32

Major download issuesWhile most other iPad ezines manage to download in a matter of minutes, this one took over 10 hours to deliver just 77%… And it's not just Road Bike Action but all the other cycling Pixelmags publications available on iTunes (such as Paved and Rouleur). None of these seem to download to completion. Which is something of a major disappointment when you take out a one year subscription like I did! Pixelmags support only advise a restart of the app or or the iPad itself or, if all else fails, to delete and reinstall the app. But this does not help with this ezine or any of the others Pixelmags sells here. It would seem that the real issue is at the server side; something Pixelmags seem not to recognise as a possible issue. I recommend just testing this out with just a one issue trial rather than taking out a subscription like I did. Great magazine. Dysfunctional delivery..Version: 2.5.1

Crashes on Retina iPadIt was working fine for a few days with my online subscription but now it won't load at all from start screen it returns to library. I deleted and reinstalled also rebooted the iPad with now luck. I am not sure if it's on Apple's side or Road Bike Action side. I would rate it much higher obviously if it where functioning properly again I am confident a solution will come soon..Version: 2.5.1

Zap FailI love RBA but this app is garbage. Shame on Zap for letting it out there before it was fixed/refined/tested. This thing is junk..Version: 2.5.4

Most recent version fails to launch on my iPad miniI restarted my iPad, made no difference..Version: 3.0.12

Crashes at launchThis has been happening to me since the latest update. Please fix it..Version: 3.0.12

FrustratingI have dozens of magazine subs and this is the most frustrating. It'll work great then it'll just crash. There's never any communications on the issues so you' re left in the dark as to what's happening. Please either fix it or refund people because I'm paying for a magazine I can't read..Version: 3.0.14

Hate itThis is my very first app review, and I've been downloading apps since apps came out. This app is terrible, it crashes with almost every page turn, it's so frustrating to read that I regret subscribing to this magazine. And even on those rare occasions that I am able to actually progress a few pages without a crash, when it does inevitabilly crash, it resets to where I was before I started reading, causing me to have to move pages forward each time with causes, your guessed it, more crashes! It's a fine magazine, but this app is simply terrible! Please update it ASAP.Version: 3.0.14

IMPOSSIBLE TO READ OFFLINEThat is all..Version: 49

Update broke the appThe last update completely broke the app. It will not open at all now..Version: 3.0.12

Defective appSubscriber-ship would increase if the app were fixed. very poorly written app. Only subscribe if you plan on being online when reading. “Download” Offline mode does NOT work. You will have to uninstall and reinstall often..Version: 32

App not working nowWith the most recent iPad update this app is no longer working. Total ripoff if you recently subscribed to the magazine with the intent to use this app..Version: 49

App Stopped WorkingApp stopped working - keeps saying they are either doing maintenance or I'm not connected to the Internet. Clearly I'm connected otherwise I wouldn't be leaving this review. Since there is no corporate information for this app so I can get support I contacted the via FB...no response..Version: 9.0

Online onlyI used to enjoy reading this on airplanes. The download and offline features have not worked for at least a year. I have quit reading as much, and will not renew if it is still broken. This is very disappointing that app technology has gone backwards AND more importantly, RBA hasn’t forced the issue..Version: 32

Latest Update is a non starterLatest update just hangs at updating library page for ages then crashes..Version: 3.0.12

September is the latest issue?The last issue on my iPad is September? Did you stop publishing? My subscription shows active..Version: 49

Fix is to delete app then reloadsI fixed the issue by deleting the RBA app then reloading it to my iPad and iPhone, now it all works great. Did not loose any of the issues I paid for..Version: 3.0.12

GarbageThis app is terrible. You would think they would have sorted out the issues with downloading and offline usage by now, but no such luck. Time to return to the 1900s and subscribe the paper edition..Version: 49
