2 seconds after opening , the app crashes on galaxy s4 mini. This did not happen in the past. Reinstalled it and still crashes. Someone at bbc made a mistake.

Don't like stealth adverts hidden in the content. It's the BBC so why is it not ad free? Slow too, come on TG, you can do better than this! Desire HD

Installed hoping i can read reviews and watch some test drive videos now that the TV show had been stopped. But the app is just a waste of space.. Keeps crashing even before it fully open. JC should have kicked the app developer also in the way out.

H70%
by H####:

Its used to be a great app. I keep it in the hope it will work someday but it's starting to get so annoying that I stop watching the show also.

The greatest motoring show on television, also has the worst motoring app on the net. Never plays the video clips. Constantly trys to open empty web pages. And now to top it off has stopped working all together.

H70%
by H####:

Videos dont work, ads dont load so constantly diverted to chrome amd often the wrong article loads. Hopeless, bet the ios version doesn't have these dreadful bugs!

Y70%
by Y####:

I love Top Gear, and in days like this with no new episodes to watch I like to read what the team is up to. However, the design of the app is ugly and should be updated to the Holo design language in order to reach its full potential.

N70%
by N####:

When I open it it says unfortunately top gear news has stopped I have reported when it says report or OK so please respond and fix and if you do fix I rate 5 stars.

O70%

M70%
by M####:

I used to rate this 4 stars but recently it just tells me it's failed to open. I do always send a report when this happens, but as usual this is obviously being ignored! Will be uninstalling shortly if this isn't fixed - such as shame how poor the BBC apps are.

S70%
by S####:

i love the updates, but the interface needs to be updated. Thats why I still use TopGear website than this app.

D70%
by D####:

Up-date - this app hasn't been updated for over 2 years, that's all you need to know.. - Come on, design a logo that suits today's high end phones not last century's... Why does it say on articles "post show discussion" when no such content exists? App and content needs some serious work!

S70%
by S####:

Some say this app works ok. All I know is it would not open so I hand to uninstall it. Not good.

Z70%
by Z####:

When opened, it just says "Unfortunately, Top Gear has stopped." I haven't been able to get the app to work at all.

E70%
by E####:

From what I can see from reviews it's been doing this for a few months now, I guess they can't be bothered to fix it. Seems like videos don't work also
