Bike Magazine for Android
FINALLY IT MATCHES IOS STANDARDS! A pleasure to read. Well done after so many years... Strange issue while downloading magazine cause my tablet/phone to freeze. Also some full screen images do not seem to work ... Hence 4 stars. Pretty unusable on the phone due to lack of text only option - please add so the app quality finally matches the content.
A real disappointment as the magazine is truly awesome. Hopefully they'll get it sorted soon. The app has crashed 50 times on me in under a week!!
Why there's no full page option instead of simulating magazine as laid on the table? No need for excessive margins which only makes the content smaller. Hardly readable on tablet. Forget about reading it on the phone. Page flipping? Really? Why? The app is slow just hi res jpeg files. Text not crisp. Dated design. It's not like google guidance is not available. Seriously... bike ipad version is superior beyond believe.
Can't download to read offline - VERY IMPORTANT. Does not remember where I last left off. Resolution is very poor when enlarged in my phablet.
Pros:
**UPDATE** 17/03/15 Product Development have resolved my account issue and have compensated me for my troubles. The app is still a little slow and does ForceClose every now and then - But Development are already working hard on an updated version of the app.. This now deserves 4 stars based on how it's been supported. ------- Original report 12/03/15 - Keeps stopping on my Note 4 and basically (except for one issue) £4 per issue of a digital magazine is totally overpriced! Thought the prices would be more reasonable!! The app crashed as I attempted to purchase the only £0.98 issue (Feb 2015) - The download has failed it's telling me I've already bought the product and I should restore my purchases or contact Support. Update - The app won't even send the email from the Help>Feedback screen to report this fault to the developers... who clearly have some work to do! Uninstalling and will be after a refund if I have been charged.
App is basic lumpy but magazine readable. Customer support is good...

Had an email as an MCN subscriber that April issue was a special price of 79p, but tried several times but only option was to pay full price so uninstalled. Shame

Still can't save content to external storage, which is why I've cancelled my subscription.
