Very sluggish. Scrolling through articles is frustrating most of the time, then it might be ok on the next page. Running on a Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus.
Like others report, crashes all the time on startup. Also it is unacceptable to force subscribers to re-download the library because we install an update?? Would not have subscribed had I known it was this poorly developed and supported.
Update to new version rubbish. I had the old version installed on my SD card and when it updated I got the ODPS error. So I moved it back to the device storage just to see if that worked. It does - to a point. I now get to download all the issues again and apparently my subscription has also gone AWOL as I can't download the latest magazine without paying for it. Come on Dennis - it shouldn't be that hard..... Found the issue with the latest issues - the update (or move back to deviuce storage) had wiped my subscription id. Brilliant.
Used to be great, now it crashes on startup almost every time (something about an OPDS feed)
New version of the app does not load. Having the same issues as other recent reviews.
Apparently I need an OPDS endpoint for this app to work. What has gone wrong with this app????
Superb cycling mag, great content, up to date topics, and love the way you can save your fav pages & articles in your own folder..
These guys write stuff you want to read and no feeling of an alternate agenda to satisfy manufacturers.
The content is great and layout very well designed. The only change really needed is that you constantly have to re-navigate every time you switch away from the app and back.
Content is brilliant, however I can't read any of it as the app crashes all of the time. I paid for a subscription which I can't use.
The magazine has a great balance of rides, interviews, reviews and advice. Love it
Took a subscription based upon the version I previewed online on my imac. Then I discovered I could not view this on my imac and needed a tablet! When will I be able to do this?
Great app that let's me dip into the magazine on my lunch breaks!
Been a happy reader since issue 1
Very easy magazine app to use, read & navigate.
Could do with a bookmark function
Really enjoyed the range of articles.
What's not to like!! Bikes and stuff
Excellent magazine. Was a regular buyer of the print edition but they old issues always end up all over the house so tried digital. All the great content is there which is fantastic. Navigation is a little slow. Swiping, scrolling and opening galleries all mean a seconds delay. Hopefully this can be optimized in a future update.
I love the feel of a real book or magazine, but lugging your bookshelf around isn't viable. I took out a print and digital subscription. This allows me to enjoy the magazine at home with a coffee and also read the latest and full back catalogue at work during breaks on my smart phone. Well written articles and lovely pictures have me yearning to ride my bike.
The contents of the mag are always great. What I am not 100% on is the Android implementation. It's easily good enough to read, but there are some niggles. Multiple versions of the same mag in my library, pages redrawing when you open alternate views of the inline 'block' text and the 3d images being hard to rotate in the bike review special are 3 very small gripes. I don't know if these are standard with these type of apps as this is the only one I subscribe to London If I could give 4.5 stars, I would
Magazine is a great read when I've been able to read it via the app but can't get app to work properly. It works then crashes & I've had to download more times than i can remember & then it crashes again. Frustrated & fed up with it. Samsung tab2 jellybean OS, does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
Always great content within Cyclist Magazine. On the whole the Android app is very good with only some minor glitches that I'm sure will be ironed out in due course. Content sometimes won't load at the first attempt but I generally find that it does second time round and it is just a case of being patient. Once loaded, the articles flow and the added 3D content in the 'Bikes' section of the magazine is nice, albeit, it would be even better if I could stop the image at different points to view.
Always a good read but no justification for blatantly ripping off electronic readers like this. No excuse for charging so much when you've no distribution or printing costs. Shame on you! Would have been five stars as it is a good read but being greedy s costs you two little twinklers!!
I haven't used many before but enjoy the functionality of this app and the general way the mag reads. Good all round but maybe a bit pricey if you pay full wack! Enjoy!
Like the breadth of articles available to read off line. Plenty of bike reviews and more in depth stuff regarding tech and training/performance.
Been a fan of this magazine from day one. I love the blend of articles and reviews. The opportunity to also read the articles on my phone is great.
The content is really good, but on my nexus 7 the navigation is very slow and stutters a lot.
Love the brilliant photos and travel inspiration for new places to ride but it looks like I won't be able to participate any longer. I was able to purchase a one off copy when I found the cover or a feature interesting but now it seems its subscription only. When will the online world of magazines realize many people buy magazines like we do in a newsagent, browse and buy if we want to read a feature further. One off copies are not the enemy. It may cost me more more but I don't want a subscription. Please have less about road bike racing and increase the tech, travel and road culture maybe some fun tests of unsuitable bikes for a grand Fordo.
