New App Not User Friendly

New App is not intuitive and is cumbersome to say the least. Used to be able to download issues to the app and read anytime (subscription thru Apple App Store), but now I need to create another account to be able to read content offline. Seems a little much. I like flipping thru pages from front to back of the mag and doesnt seem to let you do that anymore. Might as well just make this all web content. No need to waste memory for an app......

Please roll back to Previous Version

I subscribe to several magazines that are supported by MAZ, including Runners World, Bicycling & Mens Fitness. I have enjoyed them all over the years and they are all now non-functional. I very much enjoyed having the issues download for air travel, no despite following directions (when the app does work) they are not available. Please roll this app back to the previous version. This is not only not an improvement, it is about to cause me to discontinue my subscriptions.

Crashes Constantly

I can no longer read my magazines. Very unhappy.

New Design Falls Flat

The text and PDF views lack the interactive features that made reading on the iPad interesting. And if youre going to offer a PDF view, why cannot it not be available on a computer? I find the layout uninteresting. Since most of the content is now on social media and Apple News (though not the most current), I may choose to stop the subscription and just read the occassional article offered on these other outlets.

Bicycling

Great App. You do not need to get the printed version. More eco friendly. Saves a tree, does not create waste and You can keep All your back issues. Love it. Highly recommended!!!

It is bad

The customer support is horrible. Every month since June I have had issues with my subscription. I finally gave up and cancel it.

Why is it so difficult

I subscribed through iTunes and I cannot get the issue downloaded. Why is it so difficult? There is one positive, they give a 30 trial period before I get charged, Im sure that Ill cancel before I see an issue to read. Too bad, its a great magazine, enjoyed the print version for many years. Maybe time to look for something different.

Buggy and slow

When it worked, it was ok. The multi-direction scrolling is more gimmick than useful. With the latest update, I can no longer download new issues and their customer service is useless.

Unreliable

Purchased a subscription and cannot download latest edition. Also paper editions in store much earlier than available digitally. Called customer support two days ago and no help....just told to try again tomorrow.

Normally this works, very well, but not this month

But right now I cant see the recent issue, you sent an email but the issue is still not available. I sent an email asking why and never got a response. I did get a mass email telling me about the problem but that was days ago. Not too happy with my subscription right now.

Hmmmm......

What gives? I subscribe, get a couple of issues, then with the September issue, the system tells me I need a newer version of the app (which does not apparently exist) or I cannot download the issue. I question this in an email to customer service and I get back a generic response that does not even mention any new app! Very frustrating, disappointing and annoying. Update: same deal with October. Getting ready to cancel my subscription.

Cant Download October Issue

Started my subscription in May, no problems. October issue wont download, no download button. Looks like a programming screw up.

Good to have on iPad

I enjoy it once it arrives. Annoyingly, it false starts every month for a few days looking like it has delivered yet file is not available.

Bicycle magazine

Was great until October issue. Will not download and no one available after hours or weekends to help.

Great App

I really like this app and how interactive it is for the user. Many people give low reviews because it does not link with their actual hard copy. That has nothing to do with how interesting and well done this app is. No complaints at all and always look forward to next copy. If you have an iPad, well worth paying for this once your hard copy subscription expires. Thank you. Ps: only issue with app is it gets buggy when new magazine issues are available but they seem to get it repaired quickly.

Difficult to use

This app is plagued with login issues.

Disappointed

One, Rodales electronic team is definitely not straight on their priorities. Problems and issues do get fixed, eventually. May be the same month, may be months later. Two, feedback falls on deaf ears. Three, the fact that a print subscription is separate AND the same price as their electronic edition is pathetic. It is clear that Rodale is only interested in making $ and is content producing a mediocre product.

Dont buy.

Buy the hard copy

Lost all previous issues and no response

I cannot sign in to my account. I deleted app and restored to fix per FAQ and I lost all previous issues. I emailed and no response. I doubt I will renew even though I love the publication. I to am disappointed that now we have to pay double the price to access the tablet app.

Worthless App

I cant log in, deleted the app with no luck. I guess I just wasted money on this.
