Runner's World UK Reviews

by Yofour

Others are correct, once you download they hit you up for a paid subscription. Nothing here is free. Shame on you Runners World!

by Doubleagentsuperspy

I don't mind paying for content but these subscriptions are overpriced, especially for digital content. I can't imagine why RunnersWorldUK -delivered mag should cost more then a paper issue. It's also irritating to have RunnersWorldUK labeled FREE to find there isn't even a complimentary trial. Rip off.

These issues are far more expensive than just picking up the magazine in hard copy. This an ok magazine but not worth $7 a pop.

Runnersworld what are you thinking? Here in USA a 2 year subscription mailed to your door is only 25 bucks! A dollar an issue and I have the magazine. This is a digital copy and so much more money??? Why???

by Aznurse

This is not a free app!! Once you download it and open it, it takes you to a page to purchase a subscription. One magazine is 6.99!!! Really?? What a joke!! False advertising

First off, you should be able to see issue highlights. Article titles... Etc.

Second, the pricing is ridiculous.

Who the hell would charge $6.99 for an issue of a magazine to read it on a tiny screen? I can't see anybody actually paying for this. And RunnersWorldUK said it was free, but it's not. This has to be the worst app I've seen yet.

I would love to download issues for $0.99 a piece, but when you can get a physical magazine year's subscription for $20, why would I pay $70 to get the digital version?!

Once you reduce the prices, I will start purchasing them. Until then, I will not be downloading ANY magazines from the Newstand.

It's just a scan of the magazine. And you can't click on a page in the contents and have it jump to that section. The text quality is horrible on the iPhone's screen. And price is dumb when compared to the physical magazine, which is so much cheaper. You'd get a better reading experience from just taking photos of the magazine and making a PDF.

I have no problem buying a subscription. But the electronic subscription is TRIPLE the cost of the paper subscription! How does that make sense? They save money with the electronic by not having to print and no postage. But yet they charge more? What are they smoking? And you must be brainwashed if you give RunnersWorldUK a positive rating.

Nothing is free..I immediately deleted it after seeing that paid subscriptions were required.

by Koch57

Ever since iOS 8 came out his magazine will not update. Als I can't delete from my iPad mini. Please fix

by TheSockit

I am a subscriber to Runners World Magazine. I can't believe that the electronic magazine is double the price of the print version. Runners World need to open their eyes and realize this is way too overpriced.

Offer the e-mag for the same price as print and you will have a strong following.

Anyone thinking about subscribing just sign up for the print magazine and you'll get it for less then $20 a year.

Maybe someone can explain to me why this mag along with the rest of the mags associated with newsstand are so overpriced. I have a paper subscription for runners world US and it only cost a little over 20 bucks for the whole year. your gonna tell me that paper and postage is less expensive than… DOWNLOADING? BS. And by the way, why don't they have all the titles available for both iPad & the iPhone. I would consider subscribing to a few US titles if the price were FAIR!!

Since I can't review RunnersWorldUK , I'll just give all the content 1 star!!! Let me hide RunnersWorldUK in a folder at least!

by JJMFe

I bought lots of the discounted issues. Many of the topics just recycle anyway. Problem is they won't load to view. The application shuts down whenever I want to read one. That pretty much ruins the experience for me. I do NOT recommend RunnersWorldUK. Trying it an hour later… It works?? So what's up with that. Not an update problem, as I've kept all apps up-to-date. When it works, it's great, when it doesn't…. mehh!

Reading the magazine on the new iPad is disappointing because it looks pixelated and doesn't take advantage of the higher screen resolution.

by Capufo

It's like any other magazine people, if you like It you buy it plain and simple. All this magazines offer subscriptions. If you are use to getting Magazines you know what to spect otherwise stop spec ting to get things for free...

by Fan, But...

If u can't find it, it's in your newsstand

by Redcrew3

This is a very good magazine and the free sample is very good also. It is sad to see it getting low ratings because people don't get that you don't go to a magazine store and steal or get a free magazine so why should you here.
