Road Bike Action Magazine Reviews

The magazine itself is great! I would give RoadBikeActionMagazine -1 star if I could. Laggy and buggy fails to open quite a bit. If you are like me and travel forget trying to use it on a plane. Says downloaded but it really does not. Try to download again but still nothing opens. This has been going on for over a year. My suggestion is dump this terrible app and sell through Kindle.

The last issue on my iPad is September? Did you stop publishing? My subscription shows active.

It was working fine for a few days with my online subscription but now it won't load at all from start screen it returns to library. I deleted and reinstalled also rebooted the iPad with now luck. I am not sure if it's on Apple's side or Road Bike Action side.

I would rate it much higher obviously if it where functioning properly again I am confident a solution will come soon.

RoadBikeActionMagazine updated a week or so ago. Since then when I click on the magazine in my Newstand, it pops up "Upgrading Database". A status bar shows up at the top, and barely moves. I leave my tablet thinking this will take a while. Come back, OK its done. Click on the magazine in my Newstand, it starts all over. It would be quicker if I went to the store and bought the magazine....oh wait, then why did I install RoadBikeActionMagazine and pay for a electronic version?!?!

That is all.

RoadBikeActionMagazine does not work. I can never sign in.

Haven’t been able to download an issue for months. Just cancelled.

I have dozens of magazine subs and this is the most frustrating. It'll work great then it'll just crash. There's never any communications on the issues so you' re left in the dark as to what's happening. Please either fix it or refund people because I'm paying for a magazine I can't read.

With the most recent iPad update RoadBikeActionMagazine is no longer working. Total ripoff if you recently subscribed to the magazine with the intent to use RoadBikeActionMagazine.

RoadBikeActionMagazine is terrible. You would think they would have sorted out the issues with downloading and offline usage by now, but no such luck. Time to return to the 1900s and subscribe the paper edition.

subscriber-ship would increase if RoadBikeActionMagazine were fixed. very poorly written app. Only subscribe if you plan on being online when reading. “Download” Offline mode does NOT work. You will have to uninstall and reinstall often.

Before the last "update", I could happily download issues and read them on the airplane or in distant wifi free places. Now, however, the issues need to download each time they are opened. Unfortunately, the superior content doesn't compensate for the severe lack of convenience

App will not consistently download new issues, making it impossible to read offline. Please fix this!

I used to enjoy reading this on airplanes. The download and offline features have not worked for at least a year. I have quit reading as much, and will not renew if it is still broken. This is very disappointing that app technology has gone backwards AND more importantly, RBA hasn’t forced the issue.

I know that for most companies now-a-days they have to sale add space to help supplement their companies income. What I'm upset about is that these adds are commercial adds and they start playing as soon as you get within a page of it. It's very annoying especially if you're playing iTunes it automatically stops playing your music and auto starts the commercial add. Road Bike Action you guys are better than this problem or put out an update so this don't keep happening.

Great app. Great magazine.
The only issue I have is that I have 8 issues downloaded until January 2017. Since then, I click download and it downloads for that session, once I close RoadBikeActionMagazine to do something else, when I come back in, it says that I need to download again and does so on every issue.

Sure would be nice to read the magazines I paid for! App crashes and closes immediately. Worthless.

by Wiloney

App crashed immediately after update - I delete and reinstalled RoadBikeActionMagazine and that fixed it. Now, everything works great!

by Yellow7girl

I love the magazine, it looks even better on my iPad! I just subscribed (better to get a year's worth - so cheap!). Can't wait for my next issue.

by YuikaT

The new update would keep crashing RoadBikeActionMagazine upon opening. I was informed to delete and reinstall RoadBikeActionMagazine . That seemed to have done the trick, at first I thought I lost all my purchases, but then I realized I forgot to log back into my account. I'm glad I have access to my magazines again.

RoadBikeActionMagazine is very frustrating. Previously downloaded issues will frequently and mysteriously become unavailable when you are reading off-line. Perhaps more frustrating than that, frequently, attempts to download issues go like this. Download percentage approaches 70%. Then, instead of receiving a “downloaded” message, closing the issue shows that it is still in “download” status, rather than “open” status- meaning the issue hasn’t downloaded. I have found that the only way to resolve this problem is to delete RoadBikeActionMagazine , download RoadBikeActionMagazine again, and then log in again. This should not be necessary, and often makes me wonder why I continue to punish myself trying to access the magazine this way. Probably should look for other content delivery options. In summary, considering the number of years RoadBikeActionMagazine has been around, I would say it is a solid one star app.

I fixed the issue by deleting the RBA app then reloading it to my iPad and iPhone, now it all works great. Did not loose any of the issues I paid for.
