evo Magazine App Reviews

Evo charges $6/month for an app that will not work. That is called stealing! Until they fix this, all users are advised to stay away from this non-functioning money sink. Too bad given the quality of the content, but these guys need to hire a developer who can actually program.

Ive never owned an app that was this horrid. Whomever wrote this quite obviously never actually uses it. It is simply awful. I have the most current version and a 2014 iPad Mini Retina, which has no trouble running every other app I have. The EVO app has always been slow and buggy, but the current version takes it to a new level of awful, rancid brokenness. This is particularly frustrating given the fact that the writers are the best in the business, as are the photographers. I really want this thing to be great, you know, like the actual magazine is!??!

New app is much improved - it let me read most of two articles before it froze. FIX IT.

Dont get me wrong, I LOVE the content from evo magazine. It is by far the best car magazine available. BUT... this app is broken. Since the last update it went from buggy and clunky to total junk. It no longer even launches successfully, just a title screen for several seconds before it gives up and kicks me back to the newsstand. And I pay for a subscription! Not for long I guess. I will look forward to a fix.

The content is excellent for car fans in any country. Sure, many of the cars reviewed arent globally available, but the content is still well worth the subscription price. The app is horrid. Half the time it doesnt pick up new content that you see notifications for. It crashes constantly trying to download. Landscape mode seems much worse than portrait for crashes and freezes. Frankly, the app was better when it was a simple monthly download like Top Gear. At least you could read it. Id much rather have monthly updates I can read than weekly updates I cant see because the app crashes all the time.

Update: 3 days after my review, both my iPhone and iPad started downloading articles again. My guess is there was a server issue rather than an app issue. App still freezes in landscape mode, but at least I can read my articles again. 2 stars. I didnt think it was possible, but the new version is even worse than 3.4.5. I have deleted and reinstalled the app a dozen times. Once I was able to read the three most recent articles, but nothing else would download. Now, I cant get ANY content to download. Im just staring at a gray background. Click the "help" button and the app crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME. I sent several detailed emails to the developer, but they cant resolve this. They should send me the print copy until my subscription runs out. I will not be renewing.

I decided to purchase the app instead of the print subscription for the convenience and the environmental benefits of going paperless. What a big mistake! This app crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to use it. When it is working, which is rarely, the downloads for the content take forever. Makes the whole experience a hassle. Please, please, please fix this!! I want to enjoy reading about the joy of driving once again. Is that too much to ask for?!?

This app is buggy. I am unable to receive articles regularly and the help desk are unable to assist beyond suggesting a reboot of my device. I feel cheated as I cant access material that I have paid for in advance and the Evo staff are unable/unwilling to help. What a waste of what was a good magazine.

Great writing and articles. Great photos. Crap app!

Two stars for content...however, havent had content update in a month? Whats the deal guys?

The new version is still locking up after a few minutes. I havent been able to make it all the way through the article about the McLaren F1 and P1 without the app freezing. Very frustrating.

Hands down the best magazine available for car reviews. Both the words and especially the photography are top notch. Heres the but though, the app is atrocious. Very unreliable for updates. Totally spoils the enjoyment of reading this great magazine.

Im a long-time EVO print subscriber so I obviously love their content. That said this app is just plain unusable, and whatever updates were made still dont work. Even the survey part of it, where they try to solicit feedback on technical issues, didnt work and froze the app. This is on an iPhone 6 with tons of free space after a fresh restart. Cmon guys. . . I build this kind of stuff for a living and it just isnt that hard.

Stopped allowing access to articles in new version even after Ive signed in and restored purchases. Up until the past few weeks its been great. Extremely disappointed with this and ready to cancel my subscription unless its fixed quickly. Update 5/15. Broken again for the past 2 months. This is the only magazine app where I have issues like this. Will not be renewing my subscription.

Im a long time subscriber, but as of lat I cant access the "premium" content, even after I restore my iTunes subscription. So, Im paying for something I cant use.

App was fixed shortly after the last update almost a year ago. Works perfectly for me.

Old bad reviews are outdated, from what I can tell the app works great and looks good as well.
