The Enthusiast Reviews

by Canyonrun

I'm a full member and along with the other reviews here, there isn't a way to enter membership info on the iPhone app to recieve magizine issues. Apple couldn't support my left nut, they don't fix anything they don't sell and I have a defective laptop in the closet they won't even support! I paid Hog for this membership, they should handle backing up their product or why join it!

I have attempted to follow the instructions as written on both the HOG website and TheEnthusiast store. First of all there is no way to search for the HOG magazine in the NEWS STAND app. Um. Ok. SO i looked at a few other harley websites. Eureka! I found a link to TheEnthusiast in TheEnthusiast store. so i downloaded it. and there is no way to now activate TheEnthusiast with my HOG membership number... seriously guys this should not be this difficult! there should be the option to input your number in the settings gear in TheEnthusiast . alas no... please update your page and magazine to reflect correct download and installation instructions, because this is silly. it should not be this hard to fix.

I am a life time member and have been a member since 2003. I have access to 8 issues of HOG and 3 issues of Enthusiast. I have every printed copy of HOG and Enthusiast so I know there are more available. Why can’t you get TheEnthusiast to show them?

Got the latest issue but it appears that almost all of my previous electronic issues going back to the beginning have disappeared. At least I still have my hard copies but they cannot accompany me on my travels.

I’m sure Harley is hard at work transitioning to digital, and I can’t wait until they update TheEnthusiast to actually be legible on an iPhone. I know this work takes time. I have to biggest iPhone and still cannot read it. Thanks for the awesome content. Fingers crossed on that app update coming soon. I’ll read every page.

Happy to see the latest issue show up in the iOS app but not happy to see all 12 language versions. The badge icon indicates 12 new issues but what it really means is there 12 different language versions available and they all show up in TheEnthusiast . Not a good experience. I only want to see the language I’m using.

App should provide a feedback mechanism to report problems. You have to search through the issue to find a general email address and even then it is not a link or something you can copy and paste.

Agree with others that landscape mode should be supported.

It works great, as it should on IPad but not at all on phone.

Love convenience of having my issues available on my iPad Pro, works fine but wish it rotated landscape to read like open book, plus work with iPhones & iPod touch like any other ebook reader. Would also be nice to have all issues available before 17 which are available online on HOG website as PDF, and other HD literature including sales brochures, P&A product bulletins, recalls, & installation instructions...

I just downloaded The Enthusiast app, and the font size is very small on an iPhone X. Please add the ability to pinch and expand to increase the font to a more readable size. Thank you

As with all the other reviews there is no way to get the subscription info on TheEnthusiast. for Iphone. Works great on my I-pad, but I-phone is another story. Downloaded, deleated and downloaded it again, still the same problem. Why is it taking so long to give this a fix ?????

Love TheEnthusiast , and possibility to keep my favourite magazine on hand.

Only one issue: on my iPad all back issues are readily available, on my iPhone I only find the last two...

by Eric FLT

It works on my iPad Air. Goes back to issue 017 as described. Only thing I’ve experienced negative is viewing full pics don’t download. Video add ons and other extra pics work though.

First...hallelujah for digital content! I’m excited to support sustainability. We receive 2 copies monthly of HOG/Enthusiast magazine, one for each HOG member in our household. Save a tree and postage fees, H-D!

Ok, it’s really good for reading content. I do like the user experience on iPhone...scrolling and swiping is easy. I like the cover preview for the editions.

OK the bad part...App did crash while downloading content. No big deal...restarted. Also crashed when trying to share content. Booo.

User experience feedback...The library is kind of clunky...Enthusiast 01, HOG 057?? C’mon guys we’re humans! If we want to share something we remember the publish month or what the cover looked like, not the edition. Add publish date to library title.

I love the mag and look forward to reading it every month. I usually read everything. Every word of every article especially the $100 rides and rider stories. I would have given this 5 stars except that I can’t read it on my iPhone. In this day and age of smart phones with larger screens why are you limiting us to just an iPad? I always have my phone with me but rarely take my iPad. Give us TheEnthusiast on our iPhones and make it even more convenient for all of us.

Great issue, especially like the article about “how to pack for an off-grid camping trip”, look forward to watching Long Way Up!

by BuellerWI

Love that Harley-Davidson has brought back The Enthusiast and allows us to read the magazine for free. The first issue is packed full of great stories and epic photos!

I was just checking out TheEnthusiast for first time and is awesome, number 05 is a master piece, the transactions between pages, the design, the photography, and the content is amazing. Keep the hard work going 💪.

I love the look and format of the Enthusiast. In the early 1900s, there was a female columnist that wrote about riding cross country with her mom in a sidecar. All sorts of different subjects and contributions from so many. Just reading those old issues makes me want to ride more. The new Enthusiasts seems to be trying to get back to that. I think it’s great.

by MillennialHarleyRider

Love the new direction of The Enthusiast! Way to modernize and keep up with the riders of today and tomorrow.

I have left several bad reviews in the past, and always come back to try again. I’m a life member and love the magazine. Just got a new iPad and after a quick spin in TheEnthusiast , it seems to work great. I’ve tried before on an iPad that is 3 yrs old and could never get it to reliably work. Tried it on a Samsung LG Gpad, no dice. Tried a Samsung Galaxy Tab A and had a little better luck, but ultimately, not reliable. I think they have it right this time, at least on the new iPad.

Used to work great but now when I try to sign in I get a error message that says "invalid member HOG member ID". I'm a life HOG member!!!

Update: It started working but who knows for how long?
Works great when it works.
