## Bike Reviews in Vereinigtes Königreich

### ****- "Great App - Some UI issues"
Loving the app so far, nicely laid out and easy to flick through the mags in the archive too. 

Having the “Done” button on the Message Centre be white on a light grey background is annoying though.  Wasn’t immediately apparent and I had to close out of the app until the 4th or 5th time using the app as I couldn’t even see them.  They’re still a pain to see even now I know they’re there!

Other than this, I’d highly recommend!!
-- Nailed It Nat, 2025-08-11

### ***** "Rubbish"
Why are Bauer so bad?  They don’t contact you in response to a query. Take your money and that’s it.
-- russmin, 2025-03-23

### **--- "Disappointed-still using it"
Only using it when flying.
Slow download speeds.
Patchy quality of document once loaded.
App is barely maintained.
-- Bob_Happy_CRF, 2024-09-09

### *---- "Unable to login to app"
Try to login whilst in the app, brings up a become a member page, click on login and it takes you away from the app to the website.
-- Jvugfdgdghjhgj, 2024-01-29

### *---- "Search is now very limited"
I get both the paper and digital versions. I like to read the paper version but the digital version used to allow searching across every edition that you have access to. So if say a friend buys a ZZR1400 you could search back and read whatever bike had published mentioning ZZR1400 that you had paid for going back years. This is the only reason I get the digital version and now you can only search back a handful of editions. I did flag this up last month and had a very nice reply saying “that it is it is definitely in the backlog to refine in the future”. It used to work, now it doesn’t and I’m still paying for it. Funny kinda progress! Is anyone else cross about this?
-- Jimbo is taken already!, 2023-03-10

### **--- "App doesn’t work consistently, very frustrating!"
I have raised my issues with the customer service team but they are slow to respond .

The problems are:
- the digital view problem means that it doesn’t always fully load correctly ( leaving many blank pages) therefore I can’t read all the content ( I don’t understand why it doesn’t fully download to my device so I can access from memory as opposed to trying to reload from the website each time I access it?)
- the magazine view (there are 2 ways to view Bike via the app either digital or magazine view) problem is that some issues the magazine just won’t load up. 
These problems have only arisen since the new app that gives a digital view was launched.
I can only assume they haven’t tested comprehensively prior to launching, very annoying!!!

I also have yearly problems with my account that I have to raise with customer support and persist with until resolved. All problems have been proven to be with the Bike magazine app / system and nothing to do with my device or usage.
-- Sin59, 2023-01-23

### ***** "Magazine view"
Since updating the app, i can no longer find the option to switch between digital media view and Magazine view. Frustrating !!
-- jhvbiewygfiuwrgvbken v, 2023-01-03

### *---- "Pathetic. Barely more than a scanned in pdf"
Great magazine, terrible app
Issues take ages to download or download fails
Pages in app look scanned in, so you can see photos that cross the fold in a magazine don&#039;t line up in the app
Can expand articles to make them easier to read- but then the formatting is a mess, with pictures not lining up with text
-- gregt_37, 2022-06-22

### ***** "Great app"
The app has been improved upon many times now, and it’s great. Especially the black and white view, much easier for reading
-- DanorKev, 2022-03-10

### *---- "Can’t access subscription"
Having used the app in the past I took out a new sub for this magazine. Great magazines say I haven’t created an account although I’ve had an account for several years. Tried to create a new account which does not work. I’ve now asked great magazines to change sub to hard copy, the app is useless.
-- fresdee, 2022-03-04

### *---- "Login"
Taken out a subscription for the electronic version of Bike magazine but still cannot login.
-- Pibblypobbly, 2022-02-08

### ****- "Fails to load dynamic resources"
Update Tuesday 4th Jan
All seems to be working again now, without need to delete the App and re-install a second time .  I presume some one behind the scenes has fixed something 
THANK YOU! 
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
Original review Sat 1/1/22
Great magazine and app was working fine. Downloaded the app update a few days ago and all was fine initially - I was able to download the latest Bike issue. But this eve I just end up with a blank screen, tried deleting and reloading the app but to no avail. App starts up ok but shortly after starting to “download dynamic resources” I get an error message and a suggestion to check internet connection which is fine. It looks like an issue at the server end ?or a glitch with the new app under certain conditions? Hoping this gets fixed soon
-- zrzs2, 2022-01-04

### *---- "Terrible App - Can’t access any of my magazines!!"
I’ve just updated to the latest version of the ‘Bike” App and now it wont even open to the home page. I can’t see anything except a white screen on my iPad Pro.

The previous version was clunky at best, but this version is completely unworkable. I can’t access any of my downloaded magazines that i have bought and paid for. 

Come on Bike!! It’s 2022 you can do better than this!!!!
-- Ducateeesta, 2022-01-03

### **--- "Blank screen"
Great magazine as far as I recall but the App has decided not to load it, resulting in a blank screen.  Fix it!
-- PD1ddy`sdiuvdsg, 2021-12-30

### ***** "Great magazine but poor app and no support"
Since the app was updated I have lost all access to the magazine, including previously downloaded editions.  Following the App Support link I have contacted Bauer Media and Great Magazines, both claim the problem is nothing to do with them.  Bauer had no record of me while Great Magazines said they “...don’t do Bike Magazine”.  I have tried all the usual fixes, such as as deleting and reloading the app and logging on from a different iPad.  The online support leads to an infinite loop and none of the phone helplines can fix the problem nor can they reimburse me for the unused portion of my subscription or for my lost magazine editions.  So a great magazine but can I suggest buying it hard copy from the shops instead.
-- zxcv1w3, 2021-12-29

### ***** "Frustrating"
App loses voucher codes and costs money so best avoided
-- Chambo., 2021-10-11

### *---- "Paid - yet no magazine"
1 star, as I have paid for a magazine to download. The magazine has failed to download. I have reached out to the support email and no response.
-- PhilipJames81, 2021-07-23

### *---- "Not good enough and very disappointing"
I love the magazine, but I am so disappointed with the app. 

I have bought a years subscription through the app, and every few days I need to go through the rigmarole of restoring purchases, which I could just about live with, but it’s recently it’s decided to display an ‘unknown content error’, for any past issue within my subscription.

I’ve been in touch with support and while an encouraging initial engagement, it’s now been weeks and I still access my content and they have stopped responding.  

So for me the app is well below par and I think it’s really not fit for purpose. My advice, just go and buy the paper magazine, until they overhaul the app. For reference I’d prefer just the digital app now but, it’s just not good enough.
-- T_Flash_UK, 2020-06-05

### ***** "Excellent. Innovation through Experience."
Break through Experience ;  Marvellous pass-time; Extensive Knowledge World-Wide ideas 💡 Innovators 👍🤠🙏🙏
-- Venusjee, 2020-04-29

### *---- "Disappointing new layout"
I have really disliked this newly adopted format to the app - where you essentially get a pdf view of the magazine.

As a result the functionality has suffered, not least of all as if you try to zoom in to look at the images (it’s a bike magazine, of course you want to look at the images), change page, or generally scroll around, your met by a non optional readability screen - the functionality of which cannot be turned off.  I can’t stress how annoying this is.

Additionally, you would think it obvious to turn off the centre bleed (which splits and offsets the pages for magazine printing) for the iOS version.

Bring back the interactive version...or at least give me the option to turn off the readability functionality or better yet, give it a button!
