Mountain Bike Action Magazine

I love the magazine and desperately want to support such good journalism but I don’t think I have ever found a worse app for a paid subscription. The potential looks good and it’s readable and nicely laid out until you ever-so-slightly touch the screen incorrectly to scroll an article and then it immediately exits back to the cover page to make you start all over again. Simply the most frustrating and awful experience.

For 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.

I 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.
