Best online magazine for car fanatics!

Really enjoy your great commentaries on most interesting cars. Big fan of Jay Leno, too with his American perspective. Wish you would showcase the Honda S2000. I’ve owned one now for almost 18 years and it is the best, most fun sports car for the money anywhere. I absolutely still love mine. Thanks, Bob Travelstead Orlando, Florida

OCTANE APP

The new OCTANE app works well enough but all of my previous purchases on the previous app have not carried over and appear to be no longer available. Very frustrating and disappointing! Magazines purchased less than a year ago are now gone.

Rubbish new app, old one was better

This new app is complete rubbish. The old one worked fine, but the new one does not work at all - thus is a serious backward step and whoever was responsible should be fired.

Timeless

Recent events have given me the opportunity to go back over past issues. I’ve realised more than ever that Octane contains so many timeless articles that can be enjoyed well past the date on the cover. It’s welcome escapism with some wonderful images. Thank you.

Dennis are awful

No responsibility, thought or care for iTunes subscribers. Do not buy, do not download, do not engage. Buy Classic & Sportscar instead. Their app is a lot better and they care about you. This lot do not.

Great magazine, terrible app

Fantastic magazine, but wish I went with a paper subscription. The app is absolutely terrible, requires you to login frequently, often times purchases disappear. The most recent update eliminated older issues I had purchased. Customer service, silent/nonexistent.

Octane has an interactive version...this is not it!

I only found out after subscribing to this "digital replica" that Octane has a fully interactive version of their magazine for the iPad newsstand. I would recommend searching for that version. Otherwise, this is a perfectly satisfactory digital copy of Octane.

To slow to release the magazine

Typically the magazine appears in the App 2 or 3 days after it is on sale in the high street! An outstanding IT achievement and a complete waste of money!

Brand new app = Brand new cr**p

No longer have access to anything over 12 months old, one of the staff told me to contact Apple !!, I was told in an email than Dennis were only offering 12 months access but were looking into increasing this. I would think this is a no-brainer since the terms in the app details say that you will always have access to issues you have paid for even if you cancel.

Why Did You Do This Octane?

I have lost so many issues that I bought from you with your terrible new app! I can not begin to tell you how upset I am. The old one worked so nice. You have ripped me off ! I can not believe this. Thanks for ruining a long time readers happiness with Octane. My best advice, don’t purchase Octane, they could care less and take your property and destroy it with a useless app when the old one worked perfect. Octane magazine is horrible !

Unreliable. Unacceptable. I've wasted £34.99

For the second time in two years I have subscribed to this app, only for it to charge me but not allow me access to content. Last time this happened, I lost patience with chasing support via email and gave up. I should have know better than to give this a second try. There is something bordering on criminal to take someones money for something that doesn't work or do what it should do. As someone with a decent grasp of Objective-C development, I can only put it down to laziness on the publisher's part

Old app was better

Why ruin a beautiful reading experience by "upgrading" to this rubbish. Whoever made the decision needs a very big telling off and a rap over the knuckles with the app on an iPad so it really hurts. To be honest I'll just go back to purchasing paper version.

Low Octane Fuel

Confused to recently have subscribed to the earlier version of the app only to find it won't work, yet there was no warning. No easy way to carry over subscription to the new app(this app). Money spent, yet still no access. This is utterly, utterly useless.

— InterceptorIII

★☆☆☆☆ United Kingdom · v2.5.9 · 1 Apr 2013

Not a great start...

With this being the only way you can access the latest version of Octane magazine it seems a bit limited. I have been unable to log in. When restoring my current subscription, the app asks for my Apple ID and password but then does nothing else. I like the original interactive version of Octane in news stand and can't see why there has to be a change, as it works well and has some great interactive features. I am not confident that the 'replica' version will be much more than a digital version of the paper magazine, if the previews are anything to go by. Update 1/4/13 (appropriate, you'd be an April fool to rate this app well) If you used the last Octane app, you will be bitterly disappointed but this one. All the interactivity, sliding panels, links to features, auto zooms - in short all the really cool features that made the original app very, very good - have gone, to be replaced by a mere digital version of the magazine. The only 'interactivity' I've found so far is a sliding menu page when you tap the page you are reading, which allows you to scroll to any other page. In landscape mode, double pages are treated separately, so if you zoom in one one side the other is out of synch, which splits photos in half. One feature I liked was used on the Gearbox and Models pages, where tapping on a single item zoomed it in for closer viewing. Note - if you subscribed direct through Octane or Dennis magazines, you'll need to create a Pixelmags account then go through several email exchanges to get it working (to be fair, they were quick and helpful sorting this out). Come on Octane (or Dennis Mags) go back to the original app that made reading a really very good magazine a unique and interesting experience.

What rubbish

The original app was extremely good, this is poor in relation to that. This is just looks like a scanned version, done badly. Really hard to read, horrible to look at. Basically this is junk, give me the old version quickly or I'll cancel my sub.
