Auto Greatness.
I have been a keen customer of auto express for at least forty years. The articles continue to impress the motoring public in many ways. I hope and pray the the present form of articles continue for many more years. A big Thankyou to all of you responsible an excellent publication.
Good, now rubbish
This app is not compatible with either iPadOS 17 or iOS 17. Until its upgraded this is one to avoid. As someone with a digital subscription it is totally useless.
Not very good
Enjoy the magazine but frustrated by the app. First, you can no longer buy individual magazines, just a subscription. Also, pages don’t fit on my iPad, I have to scroll up and down, and I haven’t worked out how to see a double page all together
It’s ok but magazine is better
Reading the magazine on the app is ok but I don’t like the fact that when pictures and text spread across 2 pages you can’t move/slide the image across while zoomed in. Other online magazines have each article on one continuous page that you just scroll down to read. This is better, although still not as good as an actual magazine where you can glance across 2 pages at once and choose what you want to read/view first.

Lots of picture’s eye candy. Early previews. Short on Details in many places. Useful for good browsing
Auto Express
The best Weekly Car Magazine Digital App that Is very easy to use
App doesn’t work
I’ve just subscribed and the app doesn’t open on my iPad running iOS 17.
Not made up mind
Like most of content but find it difficult to navigate; also, now seems to be full of many cars at top end (& beyond) of my budget. Worst thing is that I still do mot know how to delete previous downloads. Where do I find instructions?!
Awful app
The content is great and no-one can really complain about free car reviews, but the user interface is dreadful. You need a PhD and three hands to delete downloaded issues. Overall, very clunky.
Worst of both worlds
This app allows you to read the magazine exactly as it was formatted for print. That does mean a lot of scrolling around and the print version you pay for, is not nearly as easy to read as the website version, which is free (with adverts).
Works great
Easy to use, good graphics etc. Haven't found anything wrong so far, so seems like a great and easy app to use
iOS Update 17
AutoExpress app doesn’t seem to work following update to iOS 17
Auto Express Lite
I totally agree with the previous review in that the online version started off great, but it has slowly been watered down to a point where the content is only worthy of being a quick glance through. If it means paying a small subscription to get the full version, then so be it. It could be so much better.
Good but not great
Not ideal on an iPhone. It doesn’t fill the screen hence a lot of zooming is needed. It changed some months ago so perhaps the developer can revert to the original format. The weekly release is rather sporadic, no fixed day of the week for the new issue, sometimes having to wait 10days.
Spencer Tlckner
This is the only way to read this magazine not only is it cheaper to buy now even cheaper but is quicker to use a reference point.Thank You.
LATE
It’s now Friday and no magazine time to ditch the post office and use Amazon.
It could offer so much more.
I have followed Auto Express since before it was Auto Express. It is THE best motoring news product out there. When they first launched the online magazine it was a mirror of the paper magazine and I was happy to pay to have it delivered to my iPad. The latest version is more than a little lacking when it comes to content. I can't help feeling that it could offer so much more, even if it meant a subscription. The tech is out there, the content is out there, the demand is out there but the will obviously isn't. For now I just refer back to the website so it begs the question "what is the point?" Interactivity, video, interviews, technical displays, a few fancy graphics maybe? If the future is digital then this app needs to evolve.
Great content spoiled by a lousy app
AutoExpress is one of the top automotive magazines in the world with thoughtful reviews and excellent features. However this latest version of the app is simply awful. You can’t see the full page. Swiping to move forward (or back) is sticky and it takes multiple tries. Also if a picture spans 2 pages there is no way to see it all at once, it’s as if each page is a separate document. Keep the content but ditch the app please
The app is a great way to view auto express
The app is great
Problem verifying purchases
All of a sudden, after years of using the app it no longer works. Something has gone wrong between the app and the App Store. Come on AutoExpress, get your app sorted out. After all, purchases are your revenue stream, not that of your customers. I have an almost new iPad at the latest IOS level so the problem is between you and Apple…….
Better but problems
Good - easier to navigation to pages Bad - crashes back to cover page too often. Also, can’t see pictures in full if they’re spread over two pages
Auto express app.
Very good no complaints especially as they have reduced the costs of buying magazine used to use Readr app but found the print to small and a few other issues.
This steals your money
I've paid my subscription, the ap says I'm paid up - yet I can't get weekly issues without paying again. Couple this theft with the dreadful navigation and it's a total waste of time and money. Disgusting. Still no better months after my review
Light weight!
Much preferred the old magazine replica. Why is there so little content?
Why so late
I can download most weekly magazines within hours of them being published but Autoexpress is days later
Autoexpress
It’s now 4 days since I’ve been able to access the magazine via the app. I’ve paid a years subscription upfront which ends in October’22. I have both phoned & emailed Autoexpress about this & nothing has been done so far. Email not even answered yet! Therefore I’m currently very disappointed & still awaiting a resolution or even a response to my report of problems.
Auto distress
Great that you provide free car information but you need to be Einstein to work out how to delete downloaded issues so it's using up valuable space.
What have you done!
Since the update the app has gone to pot! On iPad everything is too big - even pinching to its lowest setting all pages are too big - needs fixing ASAP as a strong supporter of this app on previous editions Please fix it as soon as you can!
Can’t purchase via iTunes
I have tried to subscribe via iTunes but it looks like you have to call them to create your account and subscribe. Not something I want to do as had previously a subscription and it takes too long to cancel directly with them. Sort this out.
Great car app.
Great car app.
Very poor app and disappointing magazine!
Very disappointed. I stopped my paper subscription because I was fed up of late issues or issues never appearing at all. This app is even worse: every issue is uploaded late which I have challenged with Auto Express. Apparently the digital editions are purposely uploaded on a Thursday (as opposed to Wednesday when the paper publication is released) to 'avoid the week's content being available before the paper edition is out'???! No other magazine does this: digital and paper are launched on the same day. There have been several occasions where digital editions have been very late (AE's record is 3-weeks with three issues being unavailable) with absolutely no explanation or apology. As a digital subscriber you are very much treated second rate. I even emailed Steve Fowler, the editor, to express my disgust; the email wasn't even acknowledged by him! The magazine itself is getting poorer as time goes on. There is far too much emphasis in the main road tests on SUVs; one particular SUV they tested two weeks on the trot! There's lots of exciting cars out there that frequently get overlooked or sexier models within a range that never get the full, main feature road test. Cars that enthusiasts are really interested in (when they do rarely road test them) are often relegated to the 'can't really be bothered' head-to-head test which regularly omits full performance figures. For example, one week the main test was run-of-the-mill SUVs (yet again!) with full performance stats; the head-to-head test was the Mercedes C63S vs Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio without full performance figures! If they must be so lazy, at least give us the full performance stats for the decent stuff and not the boring dross!! I wouldn't bother subscribing to this magazine: it's really poor and one dimensional (over coverage/testing of SUVs or other grey cars) in comparison to European car mags (such as Auto Bild, Auto Motor & Sport et al) that are available through the absolutely excellent Readly app. Certainly do not bother subscribing to Autocar through their app either; the magazine is better but performance of the app is even worse than this one!
Why o why?
What a joke of an "improvement'!! The free version used to lack all the features of a regular paper version but at least worked on my iPad Pro. This one doesn't work properly on any mobile device. I'd be more than happy to even pay for the magazine if only it worked properly. There are better PDF magazines out there, that work! Developers please take note and fix it soon. And the maths of paying more for an annual subscription than a six monthly one is absolutely laughable. Could you not use a calculator?
Ok ish
The pagination of this App is poor, page errors on zoom are common, and when you try to report they are completely hopeless.
