User Reviews

MotorTrend offers strong automotive news and a growing library, including magazines, and many users enjoy the content when the app works. However, frequent and widespread issues undermine the value: popular shows like Roadkill have been canceled, on-demand viewing is limited, and updates have removed features and caused bugs. Users also report difficult cancellation, subscription concerns, and streaming/reliability problems. The core content is praised, but usability, access, and content strategy frustrations dominate.

Pros

Nice automotive news
Amazing way to stay connected and updated with the car world
Updated content library includes Hot Rod magazines plus 27 other magazines
Love it (when it works)

Cons

Roadkill and other popular shows canceled/removed
Content is largely scheduled/on-demand viewing is not possible (no easy way to watch what you want)
Recent updates removed features (search, favorites) and introduced bugs (app instability, audio echo)
Difficulty canceling subscription / perceived poor value
Streaming reliability issues and perceived corporate greed (content moved to off-peak hours)

Magazine archive no longer loads properly

An*****, 2026-09-14

The app was great since they added the magazine archive, but the only part that works now is the editors picks section. Every other part of the app is just loading wheels. I tried rolling back updates & got the same behavior, so my best guess is there is a problem with the host server the app connects to. Sucks cuz the website removed the archive page a while ago & this was the only way to access it since. Hope it gets fixed soon, but if not, the extra space from deleting would be pretty useful.
