Runner's World App Reviews

I like this app, but I wish you could turn to a certain page, rather than having to go page by page. I also which is wasnt just in portrait mode, I prefer landscape for reading.

I dont subscribe so I cant really comment regarding the subscription service but the app itself is quite nice. I like the fact that it stays in portrait view so it feels as though your reading a page from an actual magazine.

My only gripe is that you cant turn in landscape reading format. Besides that, a great mag to read on the iPad.

Love this magazine on my iPad

Love this magazine on this platform. Love the fact I can tag favorite articles...will never buy in paper form again.

Love the magazine in this format, looks better than paper. Have had problems in the past when downloading new issues, but not recently..recommend it

Rodale has done a great job of porting their pubs to ebooks.

Good use of multimedia. Well laid out. I would give it 5 strs if I could bookmark and annotate, but that may be an Apple restriction, I am not sure. Competitive price.

Cannot download the app?

Why does this show as a "Free" app when there is absolutely nothing free about it. The only thing on the app is Magazine and other purchases.

The app is aléas bugging.

I love runners world. But this app takes forever to download, its slow, inconsistent, and Im not happy at all. Hoping that things will improve.

Happy to be able to read Runners World on the iPhone.

The changes are horrid! Magazine returns to cover page every time you leave the app, so you have to keep hunting for where you left off. The "text version" which is unattractive is the default....its just a mess. Dont know how anyone imagines this is an improvement.

Im not sure they could have come up with a worse interface if they tried. The text mode doesnt allow zooming. The review of winter shoes in the December issue would be useful if it had hot links to the individual reviews. PDF view is offered, but has not links from the table of contents, and when you switch from text to PDF it sends you back to the cover page, regardless of where you were in the issue. This will be the last issue I buy until this is fixed. Absolutely terrible.

Im not a fan of the new e-magazine format. I may be old school, but I was very happy when it emulated the print version. I miss "thumbing" through; I actually miss the ads; and I miss the table of contents with descriptions of the articles.

Despite an update, it has to be the worst magazine interface on iPad ever. Navigation is slow and doesnt allow for a tiled view. Navigation within the magazines themselves is also slow and clunky. I had running guides that I had purchased through the app before the big change that are no longer visible. I would give this negative stars if I could. If there is no change in the next month, I will be cancelling my subscription. Why would your company have changed to something that works so poorly that it is almost laughable?

This is generally a good app. I read the magazine on my iPad (with retina display), and I enjoy the quality of photos and letters that appears just as good as the printed version. One problem I noticed was that sometimes it resisted swiping to the next page. When this happens, I have to double tap the screen to call the control bar and force it to forward. Another minor point is that my iPad cannot display a two-page photo since magazine can be read only with the vertical alignment. So, you will miss the "Wow" experience with large and beautiful pictures that "Rave Run" section gives, for example. All in all, however, I recommend this app to everyone.

Absolutely a must!

If you are a runner..you have to get this app!
