Road Bike Action Magazine App Comentários

Great magazine on crappy app

Do you want to be shutdown? Get a new app or make a deal with Apple to be on the News+ app…. I travel a lot and like to download magazine for plane travel, but this app is the most frustrating…magazine that are downloaded right before I leave the house disappear off Wi-Fi , making this app worthless. Worst of all, it’s been going on for years…I keep hopping for an update but I think I’ll just cancel the sub.

Unusable app

App will not consistently download new issues, making it impossible to read offline. Please fix this!

Garbage

This 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.

IMPOSSIBLE TO READ OFFLINE

That is all.

September is the latest issue?

The last issue on my iPad is September? Did you stop publishing? My subscription shows active.

Terrible

This app does not work. I can never sign in.

App not working now

With 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.

Interesting magazine, terrible app

Haven’t been able to download an issue for months. Just cancelled.

Magazine great, app....not so much

This 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.

Online only

I 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.

defective app

subscriber-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.

Used to be good

Before 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

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.

Love the app and the magazine, with one issue

Great app. Great magazine. The only issue I have is that I have 8 issues downloaded until January 2017. Since then, I click download and it downloads for that session, once I close the app to do something else, when I come back in, it says that I need to download again and does so on every issue.

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!!!

Major challenges

What happened to my subscription ?

Magazine Reader

This 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.

Frustrating

I 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.

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.

Crap app!

Like others, I am also having HUGE problems with this app. I am going to cancel my subscription.

I used to like this app/magazine

The 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?!?!

Finally got it to work...

The new update would keep crashing the App upon opening. I was informed to delete and reinstall the app. That seemed to have done the trick, at first I thought I lost all my purchases, but then I realized I forgot to log back into my account. I'm glad I have access to my magazines again.

Latest Update is a non starter

Latest update just hangs at updating library page for ages then crashes.

Fix your app guys!

It's been a month now and this app and mountain bike action aren't working.. Love the magazines, wish they would hurry on a fix...

Crashes at launch

This has been happening to me since the latest update. Please fix it.

Immediate Crash! -- FIXED

Deleting and reinstalling fixed the immediate crash issues -- but we shouldn't have to do that and lose all the data we've downloaded.

Crashes on start up

Crashes on start up

Fix is to delete app then reloads

I 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.

I'd give it a zero if I could!

Sure would be nice to read the magazines I paid for! App crashes and closes immediately. Worthless.

Update broke the app

The last update completely broke the app. It will not open at all now.

Updated

App crashed immediately after update - I delete and reinstalled the App and that fixed it. Now, everything works great!

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.

Love the magazine, hate the update

Great magazine, but the latest update is horrible. All it does is crash the app.

App no longer works

This app no longer works after the latest update. Its stuck on updating database. Please fix so we can see our purchased content.

Useless

The 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.

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.

Garbage

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

Crashes

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

App will not open after update

App now immediately crashes -- makes e-version totally unavailable.

Bad update

Updated 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.

Spark cyclist

The App is free and it allows you to get every issue faster, easier, and cheaper than buying the paper version. Plus it's the best mag there is.

Not Free

They show that it is free on the screenshots, but it is not free.. Not that I don't want to pay, but they are not honest. There is a free app (TRI) try that out..

Heart monitor/ wrist watch

This is good in tracking your HR and making sure you well and getting the accurate information.

Zap Fail

I 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.

Doesn't work

Used 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?

Good Idea Gone Bad

Very 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

Stop working

After updating, everything just stop working, plus one year subscription gone. Wonder what explanation will be given...

Will not open

Have tried reinstalling. Still will not open.

Crashes on Retina iPad

It 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.
