Stories in app aren't loading properly.
In the last month or so the app has developed a problem whereby stories in the news feed will update but the stories do not load when selected. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling several times but no luck. Please help, this app is so useful to me.
1st rankedThanks for your feedback. We’ll take a look.

App image galleries are not loading.
I have problems with your mobile app. Whenever there is a photo in an article that has the little boxes in it that indicate a slideshow is available, when I click on it all I get is a blank page. Also, many articles have imbeded pictures that don't appear (like the current article on the custom Ranger). I don't know what is causing this and from the comments I see, others don't seem to have these problems. Samsung S7.
1st rankedThanks. We’ll take a look.

Turn off video auto play in articles
It would be great if videos didn’t autoplay in articles or at least give us the option to turn it off. I listen to music on my headphones or through a Bluetooth speaker often. When I read an article, the videos automatically stop my music and takeover. It’s really annoying.

Spend My Money
I’m considering getting a luxury suv & looking hard at the Q7/Q8 and the 2019 X5. Reliability is a concern. Which would you get & should I look at something else; don’t want a Porsche.

Google Podcasts Issue
All episodes on Google Podcasts seem to not work for some reason or another. They fail to load and I receive and error notice from the app. I don't think this is just on my end as it has never happened for any other podcast and I do listen to quite a few. It's just something I thought someone might want to look into.

Stop intrusive malware and redirect ads!
Looks like you have at least one rogue ad that is auto redirecting mobile visitors to a malware site. I tested it and it showed up repeatedly on this page: https://www.autoblog.com/2018/11/30/gm-ceo-mary-barra-washington-lawmakers/
4th rankedThanks for the feedback. We are looking into it. Can you tell us which ad placement you were looking at? For example, was it at the very top, or the square on the right of the page. Or perhaps one of the suggested articles near the bottom?

Let people copy and paste -
So, I typed "best cars under $10000" or something like that into google, and got many results, of which I decided the first 30 would give me a pretty good idea of what used cars under $10,000 to consider, and then I build a good top ten list. Anyway, your website was on the list. With other websites, I was able to highlight something on a webpage and copy it into a notepad or Word document. But with your website, it doesn't let you left click any where. Left click lets you swipe. So, you didn't make my top 10…
4th rankedI see what you mean. The reason is that our list is a slideshow and the text is part of the slide’s control area. I have a trick for you. Below the slide is a group of social share buttons (Facebook, Twitter, ect.) Right below that is a button that says “List”. If you click that, the layout will change from a slideshow to a post. You should then be able to highlight, copy and paste. I’ll ask our engineers to look into adjusting the slideshow view for the future.

Your Mazda CarPlay article has bad info
Mazda Connect is most definitely a touchscreen. However is does have a safety lockout feature that disables touchscreen function while vehicle moving. Also, the Mazda port of Android Auto currently has no touchscreen support, but Apple CarPlay does have touchscreen support (with same safety lock as stock Mazda Connect).
4th rankedDo you have a specific article?

Android app redesign
Android autoblog app needs complete redesign(cleaner UI like Engadget), a better bottom navigation tabs/bar and also Android app icon should be in circular shape (adaptive icon).
4th rankedThanks for the feedback. We’re in the process of re-evaluating our app for both Android and iOS. Realistically, we will not have an update before January. Stay tuned.

Add to the Specs: timing belt or chain
Really important to a lot of us - timing chains are a pretty good advantage over belts
