Robb Report Magazine App Reviews

Free App? Right....

Free app all right. Open the app and to see any content you have to buy the current issue for 7.99. Im fine with charging for the content, just dont advertise a "free app". Uninstall.....

Please change the format back

I wonder whos idea was it to change the format of the magazine in the app. I have an iPad Pro and having to switch from landscape to portrait mode while reading the magazine just to see some ads or play video is way too hard. Im not sure why this was done, but it is awful. You should fire the person or persons responsible for this fiasco.

Cant log into my account!!!

I too am a print subscriber. After successfully linking my print account to this App, I was repeatedly unable to login to my account. Please fix this and I will give it 5 stars as well as the previous reviewer. Thank you.

Doesnt work yet

So this app is a great idea but as of right now its completely flawed. It doesnt allow me access once Im signed in. And if I go to the library bar it signs me out. It seems this app was released prematurely. Please fix it and Ill rate it accordingly.

Surprised!

I gotta admit, my expectations were set pretty low when I downloaded the digital version of this glossy magazine. Robb is not known as a real thought leader in technology, no matter how good their reporting on all things luxury. However, the organization, quality and depth of content, in slideshows + videos, make this a worthwhile app!

Doesnt Work

Im a subscriber but the app wont allow me to sign in. I was able to register but login wont work. Disappointed.

Does not work.

I registered but it will not let me log in. Problem seems to be hit or miss given other responses.

Quite honestly, I would expect nothing less

This app is a great example of brining print media to the iPad. Others have mentioned an option of going purely digital, that is a good next move that I would strongly consider. There is only one caveat, the size of the file that is downloaded is over 400 mbs. If you are on a space constrained 16 gb iPad, like me, then there is only so much that you can do. However, with the quality of the pages and the extras, that is to be expected. The Best of the Best issue is one of the largest issues, so other issues should be smaller...I just wanted to give some word of warning. Other than that, outstanding.

Awesome

This app rocks. I get the info I want and its all on my iPad. Cheers!

very disappointed

wont let me log into my account. just sends me back to the sign in screen....thought maybe I typed in a wrong password, when asked to recover password, says my email is invalid....not a good app

Doesnt even show up

Downloaded the app, it says installed, but my iPad still doesnt show it so i cant even delete or use it. Bad app.

Generic authentication error 4011

Went through the steps to gain access to iPad edition. Setup user name and password, tried to login via app and nothing but an error. Tried to recover password, says no such email address exists. Fix this and Ill update my rating. As for now, its just taking up space. No digital issues are able to be downloaded because of your error.

Unfair

I dont think its fair that you can restore the purchased magazines ONLY if you are a subscriber. I have bought a couple of editions as non-subscriber in order to see whether I want to be a subscriber or not. But after an update, all the magazine that I have purchased went missing. Each edition cost me $7.99 unlike the $3.99 a subscriber pays for. So, a subscriber pays less AND gets to restore the purchased editions. Whereas, I, payed a lot more and cannot restore the previously bought edition. That is truly unfair. Evo Magazine on the other hand, actually "remembers" all the magazines I buy, which makes it possible for me to restore them. And only for that, I have become an EVO magazine subscriber owing to their fair and honest business conduct. Unfortunately, Road & Track, T3, Automobile, Robb Report, and Car and Driver Magazine are all the same. Actually Robb Report is even worse because one edition of Robb Report cost me $7.99. I rarely take time to write a review but this time I felt ripped off and had to share this with others.

$7.99..... Really?

I know technology costs money, but $7.99 is a rather exorbitant price to ask. My advice; go to your local news stand and pay about 1/2 the price of what they get here. Think of it as a buy-one-get-one free. Too bad, and what a shame (sham).

Love it!

Ive been reading Robb Report for years and I was so happy when I realized that it was available for the iPad. All the enhanced digital content makes for a really interactive experience—seriously, I think this is the best digital magazine out there. It offers way more interactive bells and whistles than Wired, Vanity Fair, etc. A great addition to my digital library. Thanks, Robb Report! You guys do an amazing job.

Nice Mag, needs retina support?

It is nicely put together and the interactive videos and extra pics are cool. But the download speeds are terrible through the app, also its needs to be updated to take advantage of the retina display.

Forget it, go with print

So, for $7.99 per issue (same as the newsstand price), I get a low-res copy that doesnt capture the beautiful scenery the way the print version does, and I cut out the middlemen such as the printers, delivery guys and newsstand operators (American jobs)? No thanks. Plus, I cant leave out my iPad on the Robb Report to impress my bourgeois friends; I need the print version to do that. Fail!

Customer Service is Horrendous

Im paying for a digital subscription for which I do not see any issues. Tried calling and emailing. The company seems so nonchalant which strikes me as odd because I expected classy service for a classy magazine. There hasnt been an app update (which was promised by the companys Director of customer service) to resolve this issue and the issues do not seem to be updating. Ridiculous.

Do Not Use This App

Just purchased a new iPad and tried to install and upload my previously purchased Robb Report Magazines. Paid $49.99 for the one year subscription three months ago. Unlike all of my other magazine apps this one does not allow me to get my previous magazines and is wanting me to pay another $49.99 for a subscription. When prompted for an email account an password throne I recorded in Password+ is not working. Trying to find support on the web site is a waste of time. Use Zinio if you want to be able to recover previous magazines. I had a subscription with them before I switched and I will be going back. They also give you the Robb Report Collections with your subscription which is not available in the app.

Poor Customer Service

I purchased this iPad version for $49.99 and cannot even use it. I called Robb Report several times for customer service and they just tell me to update my iTunes. Obviously, my iPad 3 is already updated and now they have no answers. Pretty much stealing, I think. Very disappointed, especially given that Ive been a long time print subscriber.
