An editorial reading of the saved reviews

People love the Bicycling magazine itself, but almost everyone hates the app: the new version broke what used to work, issues won't download, and it crashes even on an iPad Pro. The biggest pain is the lack of a landscape mode on iPad and constant demands to log in again and re-buy issues you already paid for. It's basically a subscription storefront rather than a comfortable reader.

Only devoted readers of the print Bicycling magazine who will tolerate a clunky reader for the sake of the content.

What reviews praise

The magazine content itself, layout closer to the printed issue, reading on the go on iPhone and iPad

What reviews complain about

The new version broke what used to work, issues won't download, crashes even on iPad Pro, no landscape mode on iPad, forces you to log in again and re-buy purchased issues, lots of ads
