evo Magazine App Reviews

How do you take something as simple as reading a brilliant car magazine and screw it up so badly? The content is still good, when I can read it. For example I have yet to read the 2023 eCOTY because it keeps crashing. Nothing else crashes... Please, for God sakes, throw this app away and start over. You have a great magazine, dont ruin it with such an absolute garbage delivery. I would LOVE to have my old PDFs back. Im a pretty long term subscriber and at the point of reconsidering my renewal given hoe bad it has become.

Where is my subscription?

This thing is awful! You cant tell where you are or where you have been. It doesnt store the issues, so no reading on a plane etc. Completely over complicated and useless.

As a long time reader of EVO, I am very disappointed with the new electronic format. I subscribed to a magazine, not a blog. This app lacks the flow of the magazine proper and feels cheap by comparison. The navigation, or lack thereof, needs fixing ASAP.

As a long time subscriber, I have to echo some of what has already been said and agree with the general disappointment in the app. The contents is fantastic as usual. That I cant fault. And I could probably get over the blog like quality of the new app and be OK with it. Having new material often is nice, but I liked the anticipation of the arrival of a new issue that the old version had. The one thing I can not get past is that the app seems to crash just about every time I use it. Open the app, tap on an article, settle in for some great reading, and boom! It crashes with no warning. Its to the point that I cant keep up with the articles because I cant read them. It just crashes when I try. Im on an iPad air with the latest updates to the so and app, so its not like Im using some old hardware or something. Please EVO, if were not to have our old mag back, at least make sure this one works.

Im a huge fan of evo, which makes this all the more painful, but I despise this version of the app. Its difficult to see what you have and havent read, so I feel like Im missing content, and if you leave partway through an article, it doesnt remember where you left off, so you spend more time navigating than reading. Now it crashes every time I try to use it about 15 seconds in, so its truly a waste of money. They turned one of my favorite pastimes into a huge frustration. Boo, evo, boo.

This new app interface is absolutely horrific! With this new "continuous update" feature, you really have no idea which articles have been downloaded to my iPad. Please give me a simple way to just download the latest issue so that I can actually read it while Im on the plane! And I hate the new layout - or lack there of!!!

Ruined perhaps the greatest magazine on earth. Perhaps worst update in digital magazine history.

I had this app on my previous iPad since its original release. After installing it on my new iPad it wont recognize my iTunes account, so I cant restore my old purchases or PDF issues. Im really beginning to hate this app. I was a print subscriber for 4 years and am thinking about ditching the magazine all together as the print was quite expensive. So much for my $60 renewal fee they took out in February.

Nothing I can add that hasnt already been covered by others. I am a paying subscriber and want to echo that I much preferred downloading whole issues monthly rather than this new blog type, individual article layout thing. Please fix this.

I loved the old app. I could download the mags i specifically wanted and not everything. The interactive nature was nice and the offline download allowed me to delve multiple times into my favorite the articles. Everything was simple and easy to use. With the new app I am unable to access the mags I bought earlier. The app doesnt seem to recognize my itunes password. Dead in the water. I am really bummed.

Im a long time Evo fan but I let my subscription lapse. After all the price hikes and having old issues disappear, Ill just visit their web site eve if the news is delayed.

Great app, excellent reviews 1st BIATCHHHHH

EVO should fire this app designer. I have never experienced a less stable app. Crashes constantly, before and after each update. Doesnt someone test this before it gets released. Does anyone at EVO care that their good work is being ruined by a poorly executed app! Go to the website or YouTube to get your content instead. Its not worth the annoyance.

Since my earlier, much more detailed review mysteriously disappeared, I am simply giving a 1 star review because I cant be bothered again. Still love the content. Hate the new format. I dont need my subscription magazine to look and feel like Jalopnik or twitter. They already have the blog and feed systems down pat and Evo isnt about to revolutionize that. Oh and finally, getting a new iPad seems to mean that I can no longer "restore purchases". All new content is locked on the new device. It all shows up fine on the old iPad and on my phone. Ive emailed Evo about this and will cancel my subscription if I cant get a resolution. This is just a lot of hassle.

The App went dark and did not "boot up". I uninstalled it for a fresh installation and now it does not work at all. Lousy app. Content is absolutely brilliant. Hope they get their act together quickly because I am paying for it

Evo is still without a doubt one of the best motoring magazines around. That said this app now constantly crashes. Please fix! I also strongly believe the old magazine style app was one of the best in the industry, and gave you a real feel for reading a monthly cohesive magazine. Albeit one designed for the future with loads of interactive features. It was well designed, it worked, and it sparkled. The current app is "blog" style. It doesnt have the cohesive magazine feel, its much less interactive, and its buggy. In short, while the articles are still good, the app has gone from being awesome and an industry leader to being meh, barely working, and frankly the paper magazine would be a better experience.

The thing crashes, freezes, takes an age to download content. I’ll be unsubscribing at the end of my current subscription.

I have been a longtime reader of EVO, rating it the best of all the car magazines. However, since I upgraded to IOS 8 on my iPad 2, the app is now pretty much unreadable. I blame the IOS upgrade rather than the app but the end result is the same, I cant read the magazine!

App still doesnt work. Upgraded to the newest version of the app. Worse then before. App freezes and my subscription is unreadable. How hard can this be? Get someone that knows what they are doing to fix this.
