Tricycle: The Buddhist Review App Reviews

The app was working fine up to the last update then it stopped now I can even open it. I have tried to delete and download it again. It does not allow you to do it. Unfortunately the app does not reflect the good quality the magazine has. I have tried to contact the developer but there is no help in their site.

Unusable. Frustrating. Would love to continue subscribing on my ipad but will just read it at my local Library. Crashes constantly. Could be great if it worked. Please make it right. Cannot use the app. Articles disappear when I try to scroll down to read them. Totally disappointing and not worthy of the price of subscribing Unusable. A sort of joke.

App locked me out and keeps trying to make me repurchase my subscription. Nice update bro! You owe me.

Great to be able to read Tricycle on my 6+ but the lack of a good bookmark is very annoying! You can bookmark an article but not your place in the text. It made me glad I did not subscribe but bought only one issue. Too bad because the layout and articles are good.

Hey, basically flushed my money down the drain with this one. Sad because I really wanted to enjoy this magazine in this format.

...with this app. I enjoy reading Tricycle on my iPad. However I would very much appreciate being able to bookmark my place in the articles.

This used to be a wonderful app. If you were a subscriber to the paper version you also could use the app to read the iPad version free. All that has changed of late. You can no longer download new issues without paying for yet another subscription. The app crashes regular and lacks anything resembling a booking marking feature. Avoid it.

I am a long time subscriber and usually read the printed magazine. I use the app to read it on my iPad and it does work. Or should I say it has improved quite a bit from its first release. Its a little odd scrolling down for the next page and it jumps when there is a picture in the article. Often I swipe left and land in the next article. Sometimes I swipe down for the next paragraphs and land back at the beginning. Its interesting though how you can browse articles in columns. I wish I could highlight and save my highlights for reference. The bookmark is ok but not granular enough.

The magazine as always is a joy to have. Wonderfull in content, lay out, practical and motivational. Downloading it on the app in my phone is rather slow. Thanks for the good work!

There is not a day where something from Tricycle doesnt bring a smile, a goal, and gratitude.

Im not sure why its necessary for the app update to dump all saved info. Its infuriating and now the app wont even acknowledge my digital subscription. This needs serious work.

I am a Tricycle member / subscriber. Unlike other magazine apps, this one does not recognize that. The only options for accessing new issues are to get a partial preview, purchase the issue, or pay for another subscription. Unbelievable and incredibly disappointing!

I purchased a subscription to the paper mag, which I love. Upgraded the subscription to "auto-pay" grudgingly so I could have online access. And now have to pay more, apparently, to have online access. No thank you. Delete.

Its good to have digital access back again.

I bought this app a month ago and was never able to access the content. After a week of sporadic customer support I was notified that the issue was resolved and the ticket was closed. I received no response to several requests to reopen the ticket and finally after ten days reapplied as if it were new. A few more rounds of support had no result. I am currently seeking a refund.

Update since my 6/14/15 review. If only zero stars were an option. Things have gone from bad to worse. Do not download and and subscribe!!! If you do you are making an irreversible donation as you will get no content. I get nothing but a blank screen for the spring issue and nothing I do changes that (technical details below)--the issue Ive paid for is unavailable to me. There is no method for canceling the subscription via Newstand (ie Apple) because of the way Tricycle has their app set up (this from my contact with Apple) but when I contacted Tricycle they told me my only option was to contact Apple to cancel--so subscription cant be cancelled. I was able to download the Winter issue when it came out so I paid $27 for one issue. I was happy to see Tricycle embracing the digital revolution in publishing but very sadly their app doesnt allow viewing of their expensive content so if you buy in youve made a donation to them for nothing in return. Ive deleted the app and reinstalled it twice and archived and downloaded the issue 6 times to resolve the problem with no change. The problem is very clearly with Tricycle whose return email to me after my polite email to them shows they are uninterested in helping. Really quite sad.

Easy to use and get a cornucopia of information

Hey folks, whats up with this app? It crashes constantly, doesnt stay open long enough to download purchased content, and cant stay open long enough to even view the latest issue of the Review. Very disappointed in the app which is a shame because Tricycle is a wonderful read. I hope the apps developers work out these bugs soon or I will have to cancel my digital subscription.

Very frustrating app. Took forever to even begin the download of a trial issue. Then naviation screen was frozen. Was this some kind of test to see how zen I am? If so, I didnt do so well! :(

I have tried this a couple of times and it just does not display properly on my iPhone 6 Plus. Badly rendered text and images, display cutting to 3/4 screen. Ill come back again later.
