CAR Magazine - News & Reviews 12+

Great magazine for the car fanatic

This is the magazine for those who love motoring, it is full of a variety of articles highlighting what is new in the world of motoring. The featured writers are excellent and show a depth of knowledge about the variety of marques and are clear to show the de eloping trends in the automotive world. For me if you are to subscribe to one magazine this will be the one to read every month
Why not five stars? For me it is the functionality of the app that can be problematic and at times it can mean you loading and uploading in order to get your subscription. It also often will not recognise when updates by Apple have taken place causing further issues

I like it

I find it’s pretty good. I prefer the paper magazine where I know my progress through it (yes, I do read cover to cover) and am pleased that GB&U is included now. The app lets me keep up to date while I’m on holidays and that’s important to me. I’m a mechanical wrist watch enthusiast and these articles, and adverts, are gladly devoured. Advertising is part of the magazine and I like them to be included in the app version. I’d like a instant gauge as I’m reading the app of how far through the magazine I’ve reached. Car magazine is an absolute bible for me, whichever version, and I can’t put it higher than that.

Great content let down by treating the iPad as a small phone

Certainly, the content is typically a good read with great pics. Using an iPad Pro with a screen almost as big as the printed magazine is a bad joke... Each time you load a new edition or move around the same magazine and the text makes it look like you’re using a small phone screen. You constantly have to use two fingers to zoom out so the text gets smaller and you can see more of each page. It gets worse, while you can zoom out to make the text font small like a paper magazine, as soon as as you let go it very annoyingly makes the text that bit too big again...

This is obsoletely ridiculously...
Yes, if I get stuck somewhere and use my iPhoneX then it’s OK for size. But as I mostly use my iPad Pro I EXPECT to be able to read it and look at the pics like turning pages of the printed magazine. Considering it’s the same price as the printed magazine I really can’t understand it and won’t be resubscribing - or go back to the printed version.

I also use Zinio for a few other magazines so it can be presented like a paper magazine and look better too...
... why is it like this?
