AN Weekly Negative Reviews
Worked Well before iOS 10Loved this app before the new iOS. Never crashed and was great to read when I didn't have my paper version with me. Now it is terrible! Almost always crashes on nearly all of the issues. It will crash at the same page on an issue every time once you've hit it. Not the same page for each issue - just the same each time for an issue. I'm ready to delete it and just read my paper copies from now on. Very disappointing for a great resource and not an inexpensive one to boot. Do the developers hear us? Fix it please..TerpRicVersion: 2.3.2.1205
Not effectiveCan’t create a new account. I downloaded the app to utilize it and it will only let me login. There is no option to create a new account..Pieceofcrap18Version: 4.9.5.
Very basicJust got this app because I love the publication. The app is too basic though. It is basically an image of the pages of the magazine. If an article is continued on a later page you have to "thumb through" to get to it. I have newspaper apps where you merely touch the article and it opens up. You can't enlarge the font, instead you have to expand the entire image. I feel like I'm reading this on a 1990's PC..Dad of 2Version: 2.3.0.972
Still glitchyApp crashes too frequently and doesnt display all downloaded issues. These were holdovers from the previous version that still havent been fixed. More annoying is the fact that you cant zoom in on the downloaded issues without being wifi connected - bigger / blurrier text is the result without wifi..Nosty68Version: 2.2.0.675
App crashes oftenApp crashes several times with in an hour of use. Latest seems to be on page 21. For a $159 subscription the app should work with no issues. Not to mention it is a canned app used on other magazines. We are too far along in the digital world to have basic issues like this..JrgoodlettVersion: 2.3.2.1205
Total Disaster - a joke of an appI thought the reviews from many years ago would be outdated, but no, the app is outdated. They need to hire developers who can make an app like any other newspaper agency. This app is as old as the auto industry and not catching up with the times. If you don’t like paper newspapers, then don’t download this app, because it’s a paper newspaper on a device making you flip pages with small font so you need to zoom in. A joke.Betel01111Version: 4.8.12
Blurry ImageThis is a nice app that fundamentally works well. The one enhancement I would like to see in the immediate future is the ability to enlarge the print where it is a respectable size and not blurry. The initial image on the iPad is too small to read and even the slightest magnification distorts the print..TxHrVersion: 1.0.15
DisappointingTake a picture of a page of the paper version and play with the image on your phone and poof!!!, you have the essence of this app. Enjoying an article on pg. 1? Prepare to flick your finger 15 times to scroll to the 2nd half buried in the back. Do yourself a favor and stick with the mobile website at least articles are readable in one uninterrupted bloc and don't require endless photo manipulation to read..CaesarphbVersion: 1.0.15
Poorly designed news app, do not downloadOne of the less intuitive apps in the news market. Layout is awkward and unintuitive to use. Ads are extremely invasive and won’t disappear. They completely cover the actual news articles and can’t be removed or turned off. A Hugh disappointment to have this app. Please look at leading main stream media apps for help..JkarlgVersion: 2.3.2.1231
The app is a total jokeVery disappointed with this app. I subscribe to automotive news and read it on my desktop. The app has none of that functionality. It barely works; the text view is spotty and skips articles, you can’t zoom in properly, it’s simply unusable. Fix the app auto news I thought you were better than this..Mike 274749382$Version: 4.8.12
Awful AppTwo VERY frustrating features of the app are that every time I close it, I have to log back in. Also, when attempting to enlarge the text on the screen, the screen gets very blurry. This app is almost useless!.Dave does not likeVersion: 4.8.12
Blurry textInitial text size is too small. Imagine taking a low resolution full page image of a print edition. Try to zoom that image even slightly and the image distorts, that sums up the quality of the current version. Autonews contains good content but the developers of this app should be fired immediately, it does take long to take a reputation hit with such a poor app..Darrelld3Version: 1.0.15
Cant read downloaded articlesWell first off there is no way to get an account for automotive news on the app, so anything you download you can not read. When it directs you to go to other options, safari pops up and doesn't load anything. Horrible interface. If i can sign up, i will change my rating.MidstarterVersion: 1.0.15
Pile of garbage!Don't waste your time downloading this app, its horrible. Even if you can get it to work, the app is garbage. I think someone's kid might have created this. For a company that reports on automotive technology how do you have such a horrible app. I feel bad for people who pay for their subscription and use this app..TahoepiVersion: 2.3.2.1205
App Freezes UpEver since the switch to iOS8, the app has not worked. It freezes up immediately upon opening. I have tried rebooting, closing and reopening the app, deleting and reinstalling it... Nothing but a frozen screen.
Everything else in my iPad works fine. It's just this app that freezes..Phil BernsteinVersion: 1.0.26.13288
SadTerrible app. Very difficult to use and the layout of automotive news does not adapt well to an app that just shows the paper magazine as images. AN does not adapt to mobile and it is almost impossible to read on mobile..Auto DVersion: 2.3.2.1205
NEEDS IMPROVEMENTApp seems like it was created in 2012 and haven’t updated for 202! Horrible user experience and we have to pay for the subscription?! Make it worth it! A lot of people get the news from their phones now..Please enhance customer expVersion: 4.8.12
Horrible ExecutionLatest version takes 30 seconds to start, loses previously downloaded issues and is really cumbersome to use. Fire your developer and try again..Theroger1Version: 2.3.0.928
CrapSame here, crashes almost every time upon opening. If it does run, just wait a minute, it will crash. During that minute when can see it, the resolution is so bad only the headlines are readable..Tom023mzVersion: 1.0.13.1

App Freezes up on iPad RetinaThe app worked perfectly until iOS 8 loaded. Now freezes. Won't do ANYTHING! Still works fine on iPhone 5S with iOS 8. REALLY??? Do I have to read it on my phone???? We need a little help here!!!.Martisp1Version: 1.0.26.13288
HorribleI never rate applications, but this needs a review. The app doesn’t even load up on my phone. Just sits on the loading screen. First impression is that it is WAY outdated. Update it please..Nic CarlileVersion: 4.8.12
