Runner's World App Reviews

My iPad subscription for 12mths stopped working 3mths in, Ive emailed, Twittered, Facebooked Runners World and theyve ignored all, such a shame as I would really love to read my Jan, Feb & Mar issues sometime soon...

Im always on the run. This app has allowed me to keep up with my reading.

Great app! Easy to use UI and interactive features. Much better than a paper issue.

Update: The last couple issues of Runners World have been really stable on my iPad. I really appreciated the Boston Marathon oral history in the May, 2014 issue - an iPad exclusive. Original review: I love Runners World, and Im thrilled to be able to read it on my iPad. In fact, I finally broke down and got a subscription as a present to myself. Theres just the right mix of informational and inspirational articles to keep my interest, and photos of amazing runs and runners to make me incredibly jealous. The app does tend to crash a lot, though. In fact, it consistently crashes in the ad section if the current issue. I really wish they would straighten these kinds of problems out, because I love reading and re-reading every issue.

I pay my annual duties for the printed edition and I expected that my membership would entitle me to read this magazine in my iPad as well. I mean, this is what I regularly do with The New Yorker and the NYT. Having the magazine at home and not being able to access the digital edition of the Runners World is extremely disappointing.

I like the content. The app is nice. I wish I could get it on my phone as well. After all in the print edition there is a add saying that I can, but alas no dice. If you subscribe, you should have both editions. Print and digital.

Less clutter at the house easy to use on the iPad

All these negative reviews seem focused on things that the app never claimed to do. Everything works as it should. I like the extra features like instant videos and other cool little extras within the articles.

I like the app, I hope I has video links and extra news to enjoy the digital version

I loved this app, it makes my reading experience as good as my running experience. It would be great if it its me download previous versions of my subscriptions without paying again for them. Woohoo we are saving a lot of papers.

I have been a long time reader of Runners World (30+ years). I have been using an iPad for 7 years and just switched to the digital version of Runners World. Having access to the additional content is fantastic! I wish I had switched long ago.

I want a subscription but for some reason its not letting me get one. Will change and update if/when it happens.

The app performs as expected, no more, no less. Means of providing access to store to purchase and download digital media, and it does this well. Have had no issue with app crashing or slow service.

With the latest design, I can no longer zoom into articles. I read this on an iPad mini, and the text size is pretty small. I used to be able to zoom in to read the articles. Now the only pages that allow zoom are ads. How very thoughtful you are of your advertisers. Also, if you say this is designed for iPad, you should make it so that it can be viewed either landscape or portrait.

Prior to the November issue, I was very satisfied with the online experience. The magazine layout took advantage of the user interaction capabilities of a tablet. Unfortunately I too really miss the ability to zoom the articles to a size best for the reading conditions. I can still zoom on the advertisements, but not the articles. There is no font size option either.

Easy to use and read. First magazine for iPad. Pleasantly surprised.

This is a terrible way to read a magazine. Scrolling is slow and choppy, the downloads are huge and take forever to download on even he fastest internet connections, the app itself is buggy and crashes often, etc etc etc. Even worse, you literally cant buy or read any issues other than the November 2014 issues. The "store" only allows you to buy this months issue. For a glorified PDF reader, they sure did a bang up job of making it as terrible as possible.

It doesnt look like this app has been updated since its original introduction to the store. Please update to utilize the larger screen and adaptive text. Great magazine just a very bad digital experience .

Ive used this app on and off over the past few years. Each iteration brings a better experience.

Of course I love the content but the glitchiness and long time it takes to download each issue is very annoying. I dont understand where my October issue went...just disappeared, and it took so long to download the December issue I gave up on it. Wish it had a bookmark that would re-open where you left off. Also...how annoying that with my iPad in my square stand, I cant read anything because it is in the horizontal view and doesnt switch to vertical view. Give me back my paper.
