Hot Rod Magazine for Negative User Reviews

Just a magazineThe Hot Rod magazine for the IPad, works, but it is just like leafing through a paper magazine. It is like they scanned the pages into a PDF. It does not take advantage of the capabilities of the IPad; no videos, no sound clips, no animations, it is just the magazine in digital form. A real shame, because a magazine like Hot Rod could be really spectacular for the IPad. The app does work, there are no real serious glitches. You can scroll page by page through the magazine. There are some problems because it is just a digital copy. A couple of the adds, take forever to become sharp, and on my IPad mini, some of the text is so small it is unreadable, and has to be enlarged to read. Some simple programming could have made some sections so much better with menus, and photos that enlarged when scrolled over..Version: 1.2

Same issue as others. Cannot download Feb 18 issueHave deleted and re downloaded app with no success. Bought my subscription through iOS app store on my iPad. Tried restore and no luck. My subscription is for a year. Sent two emails with photo of my subscription verified on the app store. Still no luck. Thank you..Version: 2.0

Broken AppFix please! Throwing my money away! Can't download issues I have paid for..Version: 1.0.40

No better then Zino And more expensive then most.Too expensive Zino's offering of the same mag. Is cheaper and just as good..Version: 1.2

Could Should WouldThis could be a better app. It's sort of annoying to navigate through and it closes out a lot. It's a sweet idea and I'll probably still keep it just be prepared to use patience...Version: 1.1

Hot Rod & Muscle Mustang and Fast Fords apps are brokenApps stop and blank out after unexpected stop. After reinstall get popup: index.html unable to download folio. Please fix asap. I like to read my magazines. Kevin.Version: 1.0.40

NOT FREEThis app is not free. You must buy the issues at $5.99 a pop. If I am going to spend $6 an issue, I would rather have the hard copy. I'm deleting this app..Version: 1.2

The magazine is great. The app is horrible.I’ve had the digital subscription for a few years now and it is horrible. Randomly it will log you out and you have to contact the app to get logged back in. They think this is ok. In the help section they say that you will have to log in multiple time in a 24 hour period to get logged on. How is this ok?.Version: 20.1.0

Terrible!The magazine will not stop crashing! 2-3 pages in everytime. Then delete, install and try again. Bam, crash. Repeat. No other magazine does this on my iPad..Version: 1.0.40

Rip offI paid for a subscription, can't download any magazines, and can't get any help. Stay away from this mag on iPad..Version: 1.0.1

Paid but no access to issuesI paid for a year subscription a few weeks back and still cannot access March or April 2018 issues. Do I get a refund?.Version: 2.2

Terrible.Not worth trying..Version: 20.4.0

Hot rodVery poor. I am a print subscriber. It should be a free app..Version: 1.2

CrappyCrappy have to pay for everything, TWICE!!!.Version: 1.2

New updateThe old version work great. New update and now I can not view my purchases. Have tried for days now to restore them on my iPad and iPhones and still nothing. I should not be this hard. I would really like to do a little reading but sadly I can’t..Version: 2.0

Won’t open magazines without WiFiI have cleared cache and reload the app but when I don’t have WiFi I can’t view downloaded magazines.Version: 20.4.0

Don't waste your money!This app is terrible, I have other digital subscriptions that are far superior to this one. The text and photos are very small, and the photo resolution is so poor that when you try and zoom it to. See detail it is horribly blurred. I'll be asking for a cancellation and refund. John H..Version: 1.1

SubscriptionsThe mag looks great on my iPad, but I'm disappointed that the issues aren't free to download for print subscribers. I'd love to have a collection of Hot Rod mags on my iPad, but not if I have to pay for the digital copy in addition to the print copy I already get in the mail. Great mag - I've given up on several car magazines I've subscribed to over the years, but Hot Rod continues to feature great cars, nice write ups, and sharp photos. Worth subscribing to, but not twice the subscription price..Version: 1.0.1

GreatWorks well but there is always room for improvement..Version: 1.2

No ios8 supportNo ios8 support!!!, tried redownloading stil doesn't work. Ios7 worked fine just trying to stir up the update..Version: 1.0.40

No access for print subscribersI subscribe to the print version of the magazine but I still have to pay for the iPad version? What BS. Corporate greed at its finest..Version: 1.2

Keep crashingI love this magazine but I hate this app!!! I've reported it last month and continues to crash. Don't waste your money because when you want to use you can bet it will crash..Version: 1.0.1

Need more contentAll this does is show the pages of the magazine. At least with Motor Trend's app, you get related video and other pics that are not in the print version, and it is from the same publisher!!! Also, I have been a print subscriber to Hot Rod for over 30 years, the iPad version should be FREE to print subscribers. I feel like Source Interlink is double dipping by charging for print and digital and just giving the same thing twice..Version: 1.0.1

:(It won't let me download magazines like hotrod.Version: 1.2

New app is awfulContent is as good as ever, but the new app is awful. Doesn't download new content. When the app does occasionally work it is very slow..Version: 2.0

Crashing ! crashing!Keeps crashing since iOS 8 installed...can't download previous issue... Very desapointing😣.Version: 1.0.40

You have to purchase past issues :-(I was excited when I saw past issues in the view list but found out that you have to buy them at $5.99 each. You do get access to the current and all future magazines, but no past issues are part of the subscription. Very disappointed as there was no indication of this until I subscribed and that would have influenced my choice to subscribe. The issues are basically copies of the magazine, ads and all. Not bad, but some access to past issues (even a limited number) would have been nice. Or at least a discount for members. $5.99 for a single past issue vs $9.99 a year is pretty steep!!! $.99 each would seem to be a compromise that would be a slight gain over membership prices..Version: 20.1.0

Where did it goNow I have to use Zinio to see roadkill magazine since the update. Ugh..Version: 2.0

Good so farI like it it's a better way to read the mag.Version: 1.2

Not worth it yetThis is simply a copy of the magazine. It is not worth ANY extra money. Keep your magazine subscription until they actually produce a truly digital version like Wired magazine. (Wired does not charge extra for it's digital version like Hot Rod does.) Hot Rod is a great magazine. This digital copy is pitiful..Version: 1.2

Crash o RamaThis ap crashes after every use. I have to delete, reinstall and re-download each issue then it crashes again. Emailed them and only response was I sent email to wrong department. Try and figure out where to send an email on ap - doesn't exist. I want a refund or covert to paper issues. Do not get this ap until it is fixed..Version: 1.0.1

DownloadWill not open in IOS 8.0. Keep getting error message "cannot download folio"..Version: 1.0.40

No free access for print subscribers?Come on Hot Rod. Allow print subscribers access..Version: 1.2
