Runner's World App Reviews

My credentials or subscription...issues with graphics in the settings menu

App hasnt been updated for two year and its not working with my iPhone 7 Plus.

Love love this Mag. Super inspiring, great information for runners without a doubt. I only wish it was more interactive like Cosmo Mag allows u to share or save stories , rotate the view , open links to purchase items without duly leaving the app. Other than that , go get ur Runners World on!

The magazine itself is still great. The app for reading the digital edition was changed to MAZ. Its not so good. The old app was simply the magazine digitized. I wont be renewing my digital edition, much easier now to stick with the print edition.

The newest update to the app is horrible! Does not read in magazine format anymore, articles seem condensed from print version! Why the terrible change Rosales?

Interface is horrible. I cancelled my subscription

I had to create a "new" account just so I can read what I purchased and previously downloaded? To read offline??? And I had to redownload in this new, craptastic format?

I like the new app. Articles are easy to read and navigate to. Works well

The new format is horrible. Flipping through the magazine now feels like viewing a stream of cheap web pages. To get full images and page design you have to keep switching to pdf view. They have also crippled offline viewing while forcing the reader to hand over personal info to do so. Whatever their priorities during this redesign, the user experience was at the bottom. With the dumbing down of content recently, this may be the final nail in the coffin for me.

This new format is terrible. I cant even scroll down and read an article. I try to look at the peanut butter and banana article from. October and in the new format I cant even see the story unless I switch it to PDF view, and then I cant get to the table of contents. I have to manually swipe through the entire book which by the way loads slower than it used to, because some brainiac decided to translate this happened to reading an internal web browser or something which was designed piss poor. They need to roll back to the old version of the app. I have an iPad Pro and this thing should be able to power through this problem, but this was just terrible planning on the editors part. Its uses it to runners world was trying its best to lose customers. Fix it or lose them please.

I have been a loyal reader for years and enjoyed the feel of the magazine on an iPad. The new update is a step backwards like someone did a cheap scan of a real magazine. Please go back to old format - I guarantee if you survey readers the vast majority do not like new version.

Take a lesson from other digital magazines. This should read just like the magazine where you can easily swipe to turn the page and when you close the app it should remember what page you were on. So glad I only bought 1 issue to test it out.

This app is crap. I will start reading the magazine version. In ten seconds this app will be deleted.

The new magazine interface is hands down the worst Ive seen. Gone are the in-issue navigation to specific articles or to scan all pages. And, bookmarking seems to have disappeared. To go through back issues requires swiping one issue at a time instead of scrolling a grid that was easier to navigate in past issues. Why bother with the iPad version if the app is worse than just buying the paper version.

Ive subscribed digitally for awhile, and this new version is god-awful. You no longer read a version that looks like the print copy--its a dumbed-down, unformatted series of article clips. You lose all the benefits and aesthetics of the print version, and its actually harder to read now. And you can read the article in PDF view, but its still not set up like the magazine--its just a pdf of each page. And why in the world, when youre reading an article and want to switch to PDF view, does it take you to the beginning of the magazine?! And theres no quick table of contents for that version, so you have to swipe slowly through each page back to where you were. Its functionally the worst way to do it. I feel like this update is a solution in search of a problem. Runners World took a great product and split it into two versions, both of which are terrible. Nice job, RW.

Please bring back the old app. Its terrible, I cant see old purchases and problems with current. I think you shouldnt launch this app before checking the right working of it

This has been a great app/magazine till last update now it wont even let me see past issues?!? Please make it feel like an actual magazine again! Or Ill have to cancel the subscription.

Was hoping you would switch back to older format. Still feels like a clunky website, not a smooth magazine viewing experience. Subscription has been cancelled and app deleted.

The new navigation is terrible. Pleas restore the prior version and remove the Facebook requirement to save a story.
