MotorHome Magazine for Android
Great App. I like having immediate access to all the issues without the clutter of hard copy magazines. Would like to see a search option added to the app that could search all the issues for the desired search information.
But making a simple in app purchase of a magazine shouldn't be this difficult and erratic.
I have only been a member for 4 months and so far every month I have trouble getting the digital magazine and I have to contact customer service. Why don't they just let you register online and then sign into the website to view the magazines when you want. I regret signing up for this magazine.
New issues don't download unless you buy it. I paid for 2 years and I've received 1 copy. Also my library is empty. It's not supposed to be. Very bad app
Opinion update: Hit or miss on whether the magazine actually downloads, both on 4g or wifi, on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The first thing it does on startup is ask you to share the app with friends but the opt-out choice (never see this notice again, etc.) doesn't work and you have to push buttons to get it to go away every time you start the app. Might be an "intentional bug."
It wouldn't be a bad magazine if I could read it on my laptop instead of the tiny screen on my phone. That's impossible.

Buggy, frequent lockups after "updates", doesn't remember I'm a subscriber and wants me to buy new issues even though there is 15 months left on my subscription. Good point- very speedy downloads when it works. Needs complete overhaul, or switch to Zinio or Google Play Magazines
This app just stopped working. Doesn't do anything at all any more, just sits there.
It hasn't worked for more than a week. I get error saying it's impossible to update the content and to check my internet connection (obviously that works). When trying to read my current issues it just says "An error has occurred" and doesn't load the issue. Why don't you guys use a subscription service like Kindle, Zinio or Google Newsstand to reliably and successfully distribute the magazine to your customers.
The app is kind of clunky but it's ok. The biggest draw back is that it does not keep the screen from dimming or going to sleep while reading. I know I could change my display settings but I shouldn't have to do that each time I want to read MotorHome. I highly recommend abandoning this app and joining the thousands of other magazine publishers who digitally publish through Zinio. This is the only magazine subscription I have that is NOT delivered through Zinio.
I don't like to read my magazine with this app. I can't figure out how to bookmark a page and sharing doesn't give me a useful link I can use for reference. I prefer to read my magazine with a PDF reader that lets me bookmark pages.
I am now treated to a plain white screen.
I received email from Motorhome magazine with my first months digital subscription and said to use this app to read the magazine on tablet. You have to enter member ID and first name to start reading but the login does not work. Help from Motorhome magazine does not exist. This app is pretty much useless!

The Motorhome Magazine App in the Google Play Store stopped working after one of the latest update. App loads and hangs on a white screen. After multiple attempts I uninstalled the app and downloaded the app with the same results. I've seen others indicating the same results are also occurring with no comments or updates from the suppliers of the app.
Can't get it to do anything.
Sure is faster. Doesn't work !!! Thanks for the blank / white screen - NOT !!!
Why wasn't the cost quoted in the Play Store?
Amazon's Kindle app is the gold standard for reading on an Android device. This has a long way to go by that standard. Chief complaints are: 1) When you download an issue there is no progress indicator that tells you when the download is done or how long it is going to take, 2) despite downloading the issue, the rendering of every 4th or 5th page takes 2 or 3 seconds (I have a powerful Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition), 3) At about 100 pages in the app crashed.
This application might work well enough to be barely usable on a full size computer screen but on a tablet it is nearly useless. I may try it a time or two again but will probably uninstall it.
Good Sam member and Motorhome subscriber, but can't get access. App needs some work for members.
The app works fairly well on my ACER ARCONIA tablet but considering this is a publication for RV'rs it would be better to be able to load and archive onto my laptop for those times when there is no internet access or I want to read the magazine on a larger screen like my 17" laptop and refer to old issues to look up an article. I have also found that after downloading onto the tablet that the "read" icon disappears and the "download" icon reappears again not much use unless one has decent internet access not always the case if one is "dry" or "primitive" camping.
A little slow to load over a poor campground wifi connection (stop me if you've heard this ...). The instructions that distinguish between 'buy' and 'download' are not quite as intuitive as they might be, but some careful tapping brought up the current issue on my Samsung tablet.
App is non functional. Cannot log in. Support was of no help. Digital version online connects with no problem but offers no PDF option for my ereader.
Installed, opened.and entered member number and last name,. logged me in and said I was not eligible for any Good Sam issues but I was welcome to purchase this issue and a yearly subscription. Seems like a bate and switch !!.

I am almost constantly fighting with the logins on this app. I have a paid subscription and get the email with the current user ID & password but most of the time they will not work. Please fix or switch to Zinio.
