I chose to subscribe to the digital version of C&D to be environmentally friendly but the app is horrible. Half the time, the content is displayed without any images or CSS formatting, so it's just walls of bizarrely formatted text in Times New Roman. Then there's the problem that the app burns through battery power (and makes my phone uncomfortably hot) even when it's doing basically nothing. And there was a problem a few months ago where the links in the table of contents didn't work, making the app almost completely useless. I'm going back to the paper version of the magazine the instant my subscription expires. The app is horrible.

The articles? Gold! App devours battery (iPhone 14) regardless if phone is in airplane mode or not. Pages are cumbersome and spontaneously zoom in and out when scrolling.

App stopped working for the Jan 2024 issue. Still works for back issues. App support refuses to reply or fix the issue. Have been trying to reach them for a week. You will only get a form response with a solution that doesn’t work. Shameful.

I’ve had this app for years and the inconsistency with the release of digital issues on this has gotten ridiculous. Why am I seeing issues available on 3rd party apps like the news app weeks before the official app!!?? Not to mention the physical copies. GET IT TOGETHER HAERST!!

It’s January 10, 2024 and I still haven’t received the January 2024 electronic issue of Car and Driver. Usually it arrives by the end of the previous month. Phone calls and emails have accomplished nothing. No customer service at all. If I could I would cancel the remaining 6 months of my subscription.

App is terrible. I have and active subscription through Apple, and issues are not downloading be abuse it says I am not a subscriber!

Sometimes I can download and sometimes I can’t. When reading a magazine, it takes about 5 minutes and my iPhone is almost too hot to touch. For some reason this app takes a lot of processor power and this is a battery pig. I can’t wait to go back to the paper version of the magazine.

After I updated to the newer operating system on my iPad, the app is broken. Text still shows up, but there are no pictures on subsequent viewing of an article or the TOC.

You’d think iPads were invented yesterday — this app screams low investment and poor usability. Awful. Avoid. Worse than every other publication app I use on my iPad.

Pages frequently do not load. Will probably cancel soon.
