Vanity Fair Digital Edition Positive Reviews

Great app, great writingLove the magazine, so that's a start. Vertical reading is great. Some articles are pages, others scroll like a web page. Slick app. Well-designed. Doesn't crash in my 5 issue experience. Suggestions: add ability to email/share articles on article pages (maybe an icon next to the page map) - it would drive more web traffic from non-subscribers and it saves me having to go to the web site. Also, compress a bit more - takes a long time to download mag. Don't know anything about the app store, so maybe not possible. I am a print subscriber and get all issues seamlessly once I got the email and print label # connected. Not sure what others are taking about - works perfectly and you only pay for the print subscription..RhinoBetsyVersion: 3.0

How About Some Respect for Subscribers?One of the reasons I bought my iPad was so that I could eventually cut down on the amount of paper I consumed, particularly for magazines that I read once and then discard. I've got to admit that Vanity Fair is one of those. So imagine my disappointment to find that even though I already am a Vanity Fair subscriber, I would have to pay extra to read an issue on my iPad. Time magazine doesn't make me do that. I can download every issue to my iPad. All I had to do was set up an account and enter my current subscription information. But not Vanity Fair. To read that on my iPad, I would have to buy each issue, at $4.99. I don't think so. Come on Conde Nast. How about some respect for your subscribers. I already paid you once. Now give me the option of how I consume your product. Eventually, I might decide to convert to a digital-only subscription and do away with all that paper. If enough subscribers did that, imagine the impact on your bottom line. No more printing costs. No more mailing costs. The free preview content looked great. I could easily become a convert to a digital edition on my iPad. But I'm not going to pay your twice..DCohnVersion: 1.0

Who's reading this magazine on their iPad? Not the folks who updated this appThis "upgrade" of the magazine app is a travesty for readers. Obviously not designed by someone who reads the actual magazine. Cropping the pages to partial page size, taking away the keeping of your place while mid-read of an article or edition are just a few of the ridiculous "upgrades". I can't always finish an article, now I have to remember which months edition I'm on and then search for the article and then finally find my page. Seriously??? Bring back the previous version of this app. You are making me completely regret my "paperless" subscription to this magazine that I've loved for 30 years..PixieDonnaVersion: 5.0

Works for me...All these 1 star reviews prompted me to chime in. I am a print subscriber, and since they added iPad access several months ago the app has worked as intended for me. You have to create an online Conde Nast account and associate it with your subscriber number, but after that it has worked fine. There was a delay of several hours between the time I created my online account and when the app recognized it, and I'm that time I contacted Conde Nast tech support, and I have to agree they are pretty worthless. Some features I would like to see added across all Newsstand apps: 1. Clippings: A unified place you can save your favorite articles. 2. Background downloading: Touted as a feature in Newstand, but it's not working for anyone. You have to stay in the app to have an issue download, which ties up your iPad for 15-20 minutes. This basic functionality should have been implemented from day one. Both of these issues are not limited to Vanity Fair or even Conde Nast but rather apply to all Newstand apps..Drober1Version: 3.5

Ver 5 update is horribleHaving the previous version 2.0.44 for so long and being a solid app that worked well on my iPad Pro 9.7, this ver 5 is horrid. First, it won't let me download any issues, keeps telling me "No Interner Connection" which is not true, as it lets me login to authenticate my subscription status. Plus, every other app connects to the internet without issue, even after 2 restsarts and testing on both wifi and LTE. All of my downloaded Vanity Fair issues were deleted with the update. The layout and UI is useless. Good thing I had a backup of the ver 2.0 of the app. I installed that and am back and happy reading VF issues again. Revert to the previous version..ChillytunesVersion: 5.0

June issue - after 24 hours became availableUPDATE: great great app. I now find myself reading every single article and can't wait for the next one to come online. I am even thinking of subscribing to more Conde Nast magazines because of the well designed layout. Well done, VF. --- I finally was able to log with my print account info ( you need to have the information EXACTLY as it is on your address sticker) but when I log in I am only given access to the May edition, and not the June edition which I already have received the printed version. What's up with that? UPDATE: Access to June came through yesterday afternoon. I love it but am not giving it 5 stars for I got an email (finally) from customer service. But it was wrong saying I hadn't registered properly. I suggest a little work on the support end or test your product before release. And monitor your FB page. Including digital with print is awesome and even the "just digital" subscription is now within the $$ range I always thought it should be. Will go ahead and subscribe to a couple more of their magazines..LajimmVersion: 3.0

Favorite ApI love this ap. Felt I had to write to counter some of the low reviews that are about the subscription issues if you like the mag you will love the ap!! Tons of interactive ap only extra features, you can pass through the ads with a flick of your finger, and it is intuituvely easy to use. There are quick links to other similar articles when you like one you can read other archived content-free! My only complaint-you can't see your battery life when you are in the ap. I still did not reduce a star though cause the only reason that is a complaint is because I spend hours at a time in this fabulous ap..DanieglamVersion: 3.0

'Reformat' of prior reviewThank you, thank you, thank you, VF, for returning the app to the original format. My one-star review (below) is now a five-star review. Annie Leibovitz's photos are gorgeous again! ------------------ I was so sad to discover that the update to this app took away the gorgeous full-screen clarity that I loved so much. I used to show off my iPad Pro by pulling up a Vanity Fair digital cover to ooh and ahh over (and sold a couple subscriptions to the magazine in the process). No more. I lost all my downloaded magazines, and the new downloads are fuzzy and cropped. Truly the worst upgrade to an app I've ever experienced. What a shame for such a great mag. I hope this isn't indicative of financial problems at VF!.LBakulaVersion: 5.1

Better late than never?I'm a VF subscriber, so it made a lot of sense to get the iPad edition about a year ago. It has a lot of extras and it's a gorgeous format. And they've fixed a lot of the crashing issues, and loading each edition is now automated, which was a big, huge improvement. So I haven't written a review because this was just one extra way of reading the magazine and my expectations were not high. But today I went to a news stand and saw Julia Roberts staring out from the April edition. She has not yet arrived on my iPad. Maybe I've just never noticed this or maybe this month is different, but I feel a little cheated. Why isn't the digital version available the day the paper version hits the stands?.LaelerVersion: 3.6

The best magazine appOnce you input the info on the left and your login and pasword, you then go to the top left of the screen to sign in, and you're set. That part is the only confusing part. This magazine is the best of dozens that I subscribe to. First, the graphics are fabulous, and they go beyond what other magazines offer by letting you use your 'paper' subscription to access the iPad version at no charge. Their interactive graphics are superior to others, and the July magazine has a review of 'Bon Iver' with a full sample song from his album released 6/21. Great job, Conde Nast. Now, do this to your other magazines!!.Donna HBGVersion: 3.0

Lousy app, does not work!!!!!!!!!What a waste of time. 4 hr! just wished I had read the comments above. I get a message "server is busy try again in a few min". 47 times later and the next day the same message. change of mind, VF support has been brilliant! and now this app is sorted and works seamlessly. Please reset your app using the steps below. 1. From the iPad home screen, tap twice on the home button and the apps that are running on your device will appear along the bottom row. 2. Hold down the icons until the "shake." 3. Tap on the red circle to reset your application. This does not delete the app. 4. Double tap the home button again to return to all of your apps. 5. Open the app and allow for your library to update. Please be sure you have successfully signed into the app and all of your issues should now be available for download. Please let us know if you still experience technical difficulties..MarekmkVersion: 3.6

Great App!I started off just downloading one issue, but I enjoyed it so much I bought the subscription! It notifies me when there are new issues, navigation is easy, and there are interactive videos and audio files on some articles! My favorite part is that I'm not stuck with a big pile of to-be-recycled paper when I'm done. I can archive issues to make space and redownload if I want them later, I can screenshot articles or images I want to keep long-term - I love it! It's not the cheapest thing, but if you were gonna buy the print version anyway, you should give this version a try :).AnglopheliaVersion: 3.7

Love the Mag and the AppI don't know what trouble the other reviewers are having but mine has more or less worked well. On rare occasions the app will crash but I don't know if it's there fault or that I have too many apps open or doing things too quickly. I did have trouble with other magazine apps, namely Bloomburg Businessweek whereby I had to uninstall the app and reinstall after the latest update to Newstand version. In past updates where things didn't work I just reinstalled and that usually solves everything. Keep up the great articles and interactive content and I'll keep subscribing..Tommie3Version: 3.5

An amazing digital magazineNot just essentially a photo or pdf of each magazine page. It’s optimized for how you read on a tablet (scrolling each article) while left and right swipes move you from article to article. Links within each issue jump to other relevant sections of the issue or additional info and updates online. You can get a digital-only subscription for 15 dollars for the first year that gives you access to the tablet and website content. This is a well thought-out publication. Also VF has amazing articles across all topics..Leila81Version: 5.7

Glad to see the old formatSometimes things are best left alone. Thanks for going back! I'm glad I didn't take my iPad with me on my trip. While it would have been nice to read VF on the plane, I would have been frustrated by the revised app. So I only recently saw the new version of the app. Instantly hated it. I couldn't remember which issue I was reading. Tapping on a section at a time was ridiculous. The download speed was slow. It takes some time to download the entire magazine, but the revised app was not an improvement. That was my very brief experience with the revised app..SinglespeedVersion: 5.1

Message from Vanity Fair: Bug for Print Subscribers Found and FixedHi everyone, Michael Hogan from Vanity Fair here. We have fixed the download and registration issues print subscribers were experiencing. If you were able to register but not get the June issue, it is now available for you to download within the app. If you were unable to register you print account, please go back into the and try registering again by tapping the red button for “current magazine subscribers” at the top of the app. Thanks for your feedback and your patience..Michael HoganVersion: 3.0

Excellent!I have been a loyal subscriber since the first issue in the 1980's. I LOVE the iPad App. It's got a few quirks, but they are minor. Overall, the navigation is easy, the extras are fun, and I love the access to back issues. I'm sure the kinks will get worked out. BTW, I still subscribe to the print version and pass on the print issues to my 75 year old mother. I prefer reading on my iPad. I love the brilliance of the photography, the user friendly interface and the fact that I will no longer accumulate stacks and stacks of issues that I can't bear to part with!! Thank you VF!!!.Scout dogVersion: 3.5

Good app, frustrated thoughLike the previous guy, I'm wondering why the digital edition isn't out yet when I can see it on news stands. Unlike the guy below me, I'm locked into a subscription. Friends have emailed me articles from the vanity fair website that are part of the upcoming issue. They've put the articles up there before subscribers have received the digital version? This is a great way to show your customers what a complete ripoff your magazine is. Despite the frustrations, I do have to say that the magazine is a fantastic read on the ipad, great writers, a bit too trendy, and make sure you have a few hundred Meg's of memory lying around, these issues are large..AsdisjsmsksmsVersion: 3.7

Where's Zoom for text?I enjoy reading hard copy (cover to cover) but find it advantageous to also use my iPad when I don't want to wear reading glasses since I was able to maximize text, so am very disappointed that feature disappeared as of August issue. I also miss the lack of pagination. It was helpful to me to track where I left off since there's no bookmark function. And when I am traveling or in a waiting room, I could select which articles I had time to read based on page length. Sure hope that more digital options and improvements are coming..ElsieWickfordVersion: 5.2

App and issues installedMy husband and I had just been discussing magazine apps and I decided to check again for VF. So glad I did. Installed the app and then followed the directions as a subscriber. Needed to sign back in at the upper left corner of page and then it showed May and June issues as purchased. I was then able to download and have them ready to view. I guess I need to know what will happen with future print copies. Will they stop? Will VF Notify me through the app when it's time to renew my subscription?.The Shoe Diva 64Version: 3.0

Need more back issues!Sharing others' complaints about print subscribers having difficulty registering - I was finally able to activate my account for iPad access! However, once I was able to log-in I found my enthusiasm dampened by the incredibly limited archive of issues they have available to re-download - about 3 issues - now I am agonizing over all the past digital issues I missed while I was waiting for VF to square away their subscription log-in nightmare. Please add more archived issues so I can go back and read them like you can with Time on the iPad!.John BeVersion: 3.0

Try thisAfter upgrading to iOS 5, the app would go to the red opening screen, hover for a while, then crash. So I deleted the app, then redownloaded it from the Purchased apps section of the Apps Store, and, alas, all is well. Better then well. The issues download in a couple of minutes each -- they are large files, after all -- and they are a pleasure to navigate. Plus, I like the extras, such as book excerpts and videos. Hope this helps for those of you having problems..Siesta SamVersion: 3.5

Still love it and hope to see a few new features shortly...I have been a big fan of this app. Over the years my annual apple subscription of VF moved from my iPad2, to iPhone 6 Plus, and now to iPhone 7 Plus. However, it is time for VF to address basic limitations in the app, if they want to keep their loyal customers. I would start with dynamic font size (why not take advantage of such a great option offered by IOS TODAY???). Book marks and landscape are long overdue futures, but the font size is an embarrassment by the end of 2016....JaneSoy.11.10.2014Version: 4.6.8

Great app!Although I'm having problems opening the app (for 2 days), it's still an awesome app. I was able to download all issues w/o problems. Even the ones I had subscribed to over a year ago. If you are having problems, just contact VF on their website. They are very responsive. I'll post a different review if I don't get my problem fixed. When I first started to get the I-Pad version, I deleted the app and then loaded the new one..Susan LisitzaVersion: 3.0

High qualityI first used this app to read my hard copies on the road. Since I already was carrying my iPad with me it made sense. When my subscription was up for renewal I went with digital copy only. Unlike some magazines or newspapers VF carries everything that the print addition does. Now if it would only download at a reasonable speed so I wouldn't be stuck only downloading at night since it always stops downloading if I open another app. That's my only complaint.AleriasBGVersion: 4.0

Best Magazine app evarrr!This should quickly become the gold standard of magazine apps! They have thought of everything. The table of contents is fantastic. I love that they give you approximate reading times, so you know what you can squeeze in while you're on the go. I read Vanity Fair more on my iPhone now than I do on my iPad or the print copy. It's quick, easy and convenient. I wish I could give it more stars! (Now, I'm going back to reading my Vanity Fair on my iPhone.).KirkCunninghamVersion: 4.0

Love the Design & Layout, but...I tried to subscribe & even though there is a banner ad at the top that says "click below" to subscribe there is no place to click below. I erroneously thought that clicking on the issue would give me the option to subscribe, but instead it it just automatically purchased that issue at the $4.99 price, when what I wanted to do was subscribe monthly at the $1.99 price. I wasn't ever given that option! I've looked everywhere & cannot find a place to subscribe or edit my subscription settings! Can somebody please advise?.LjgrissoVersion: 3.5

Excellent content, easy to use, great digital extrasWhen other publications survey me, I point to Conde Nast as the exemplar of magazine or newspaper web applications. Once in a while the application balks at sign-in, asking for credentials I have forgotten, and forcing me to choose a new and different password, which of course I am certain to forget as it is unfamiliar. But I have reconciled myself to this painful process, as the reward is so great once I pass through the secret door..Underdog2Version: 4.0

TerribleThe latest version of the app is terrible. If I'm out of the app for more than an hour, I lose my place and am taken back to the cover page when I reopen the app. And, unlike prior versions, I can't easily scroll through the magazine to find where I left off. The whole interface isn't particularly user-friendly, either. Based on the number of negative reviews, can VF please do something already?!.YasCofVersion: 5.0

I am only rating the app, not the publicationI love Vanity Fair as a the publication. The app, however, is not stable. I have to close the app and reopen it to download an article. Often, when I go back to the table of contents, the app will reload the article I just read rather than link to the newly selected article. I spend a lot of time having to do this. If it weren't for my love of Vanity Fair I would probably cancel my subscription becauseof the instability of the app..JaferdVersion: 4.6.8

Phew!Thank you for bringing back the older, better app and making Vanity Fair Digital great again. I can once again enjoy my monthly routine of reading VF cover-to-cover, as I have been for the past 15 years. --------------------------------------------- The new version is awful. It downloads at the speed of sloths and only displays on about 2/3 the available screen width. Did Trump design this or pay Russia to hack you? Bring back our old, reliable Vanity Fair App, please!.::V::Version: 5.1

Great app!Downloaded the free app today so have no experience with previous versions. It popped right up on my "newstand". Have been a VF subscriber for several years. Signed in with my Epicurious password and had no problem accessing the content. Took about 4 minutes to download the latest issue over home broadband wi fi. The interface is very easy to navigate. Great way to carry my current mag or revisit a previous issue..Draft63Version: 3.5

Intuitive and a pleasure to useI thoroughly enjoy reading VF on the iPad. At times prefer the iPad to the actual magazine. They've done a great job making the photography and various articles and sections interactive without forcing anything complex on the reader. Jumping to a particular article, scanning the magazine and navigating overall couldn't be easier. I normally don't write reviews but the naysayers shouldn't steer you away..Beatnik411Version: 3.6

"Improved" upgrade is total failureThank you for listening to us and returning the app to the way it use to be! Whoever came up with this new version should look for a new career. Please bring back the last version. Lost all my previously save editions, when going back to article, have to scrolled back from front. Update is total failure. After all the bad reviews, Vanity Fair, go fix it!.Nini_JourneyVersion: 5.1

Really?Come on VF! You're obviously not stupid...arrogant, maybe. My VF app keeps crashing! Now, seeing as apple checked this out, it seems that the proverbial ball is in your court to get off your duff and straighten out the bugs in your app! Sure, most readers are going to be paper-bound, however, we get the direction VF is going in. Unfortunately, your means of travel keep breaking down! Fix please! I would like to enjoy your insightful articles and editorials and not have to schlep my iPad AND ur magazine! Let's go, kids and get it together!.Bofield8Version: 3.0

Crashes with each new issueThe magazine layout is great apart from the lack of pinch zoom feature and large file sizes. The best digital magazine format I've seen so far otherwise. But I bought a year subscription and each time a new issue comes in the app keeps on crashing and is unusable. It is very frustrating. Please fix this..Graham_TVersion: 3.0

TerrificI would not have thought that the app version would approach the quality of the print version but it does. With easy navigation and extra features I actually appreciate the app version more..StemcleodVersion: 3.7

Great AppI've been a print subscriber for a while, and set up was easy and quick. I never thought I'd get into reading articles on the iPad instead of print, but the ui is good and so is the overall experience..Lunch BurgerVersion: 3.7

An Absorbing ReadI love this iPad version of VF. It's accessible and beautiful, with imbedded video and audio, so that this reader has had a rich encounter with the June issue. And $2 a month is very fair. Can't wait for all the quality magazines to show up like this..AnibojoVersion: 3.0

It would be perfect if I could enlarge the script. It is too small.We used to be able to do it. Is it cost cutting? Such a shame..MjuthhfresdVersion: 5.5

Great Digital EditionBig files, but with decent broadband only takes 5-10 minutes ; no big deal. I have no problems with download or app (I also get 11 other mags and 2 newspapers; this is no different from SI, Esquire, GQ, Auto etc, so really not sure what the wining is about). We get this free with our print sub; my wife reads that, but I prefer the iPad edition. Stunning photos, indexing of articles, layouts and bonus features. Links to previous articles also very helpfull..Trojan12345Version: 3.5

Not working as well as it used toHaven’t looked at my VF subscription for a few months. When I opened I got a window talking about navigating. Nothing seemed all that different - swipe to move to next article; maybe rearranged content index. On reading though it seemed really slow to load; crashed out once; generally not as responsive..Munro20Version: 5.5

Attention Newbies: All feature-rich magazines take time to download.I expect that many of the reviews come from people who are new to iPad publishing. Generally, unless the publication is largely text only, and light on photography, video and audio (like The Economist), the file is going to take a while to download. The wait is usually worth it if you desire an interactive experience..FederovVersion: 3.5

On line subscriptionsEasy to use. Love the archives issue.Penguin2343Version: 5.7

A step backwards (but they listened!)Update - most of the serious problems with the previous version have been fixed, so I'm revising my rating from a 1 to a 4. Thank you for listening to your readers! Previous review follows: New version is a real step back - definitely falls into "WTH were they thinking?" territory. Navigation is non-intuitive (reading time???) and the app doesn't remember where you left off. You have to reload the issue you were last reading and figure out how to get back to the article you want. Interactive features (polls, photos, captions) are incredibly clumsy. What used to be a delightful iPad experience is now a huge pain. It's actually better to read the print edition (maybe that's what they want)..Guitarboy2Version: 5.1

App update failureUpdated the app & now it is frozen. Frankly am tired of the ongoing issues with this app. Fix it.BoobybabyVersion: 5.5

Great upgrade!!I have bought several magazine apps and Vanity Fair is one of the best. I especially enjoy the extra pics and videos that are offered in the app version. Unfortunately I have an iPad one and using the older version of the app makes my iPad crash when it open the magazine. Wish they would go back to the landscape option as well..Nietzsche3Version: 4.0

Vanity Fair Digital Edition Negative Reviews

What happened?VF used to be great to read electronically. Then they made a too-fancy app that took too many swipes and got stuck all the times it tried to integrate video or show scaled images…so it’s been simplified to the point it’s nothing. Might as well be a PDF. If an article ends on page 50 and continues on 108 there isn’t even a link. You have to “flip” the virtual pages. It’s just not up to par for a title like Vanity Fair. You have a budget. It’s 2024. The electronic version should work..ShanechristianVersion: 6.3

UselessI downloaded the app to be able to file and read archival articles in one place. Not only can the app not find them, but when you find them by Googling, you cannot then open them and save them on the app, which appears to be nothing more than a digital newsstand for a single title. So much regret about this subscription..Could Be Better for CustomersVersion: 6.3

Disappointing formatIf I wanted to flip through 100+ pages, I’d subscribe to the paper edition. I’ve enjoyed the advantages of the electronic version for years, but am not happy with the new format. I agree with the previous reviewer: this may as well be a pdf..VT NCVersion: 6.3

New formatI need to cancel my 30 year association.EasroakVersion: 6.3

Error Message CentralI am so frustrated with this app. I already have a subscription, yet I cannot create a log-in. It seems that no matter what I click, I get error message -1004 (cannot connect to server) or url error, or something else. I already contacted Customer Service, and was assured this bug was fixed. I uninstalled, reinstalled...and SAME message. As an extra added bonus, do not bother writing a whole comment when contacting Customer Service. They don't read it. You get an auto-response e-mail with FAQ, and a request to hit the reply button, re-writing your inquiry. Not only does this cause you to waste time writing your problem out twice, it presupposes that their subscribers are idiots who cannot read English or have never seen a FAQ! Not to mention the warm, fuzzy feeling you get from hearing that your concerns are important to them...they just don't want to waste their time addressing them unless you really, Really mean it. Yikes!!!.UsatabeeVersion: 3.5

Afraid to update....After my horrible experience with the ‘new and improved’ version of the New Yorker app, my heart sank when I saw the same pitch for the new Vanity Fair app. I assume Condé Nast is moving multiple magazines to this new platform, which, from what I’ve seen so far, is not ‘ready for prime time’. I decided not to install the update and risk losing all my downloaded issues, and likely much of the content that is key to enjoying the magazine. Then I found that I can’t get the current issue in the old app. What to do? For now, I’m keeping the old app so I don’t lose everything, and using my library app RBDigital or Kindle to view newer issues. Hopefully, that will allow time for them to get the bugs out of the new app and figure out how to migrate user content without having to start over..Katie4164Version: 5.5

FrustrationVF has created a beautiful interface for reading the magazine and it delivers a user experience that can be more enjoyable than reading the hard copy. So it's really unfortunate that they can't make it work. I've now downloaded it twice and both times it simply crashed after using it a few times. The first time I used it for 5 or 6 issues (at around $5 a pop), and lost them all when the first download stopped working. This time, I was only able to download 2 issues before the app crashed, and what's truly annoying is that this time it died after I was able to read only one or two articles from the September issue. Of course there's no obvious place to obtain a refund or any sort of tech support. So I'll just go back to picking up the occasional copy from the newsstand..TedTuckVersion: 3.0

No landscape viewThere's no landscape view on the new version of the app. Many paying customers (subscribers) have written with the same complaint and requesting a fix but VF has ignored the comments -- other than being just plain rude, lack of customer service is definitely cause to cancel subscription. I used to devour VF's new editions cover to cover when I was able to read in horizontal view and I loved eagerly awaiting the next edition. Now, I get more and more frustrated as I turn the page, quickly reach my boiling point of annoyance, and have to close the mag. Now that I'm behind on reading the editions, might as well cancel the subscription, stop paying for frustration and blatant lack of customer service, and just borrow the copy from others. Major FAIL by VF..Neikky - 100Version: 4.5.3

Won’t recognize my subscriptionI purchased the digital subscription online. I received a welcome email. I cannot download any of the monthly magazines without a charge. I’ve contacted customer service three times and all they do is send me the same regurgitated FAQ’s that I’ve already gone through. They even told me one time they could see that I had a subscription. I showed them the receipt and order number. I received my free tote bag in the mail today and still cannot download any editions of the magazine in their apps. I didn’t sign up just to read articles on your website like its 2008. They don’t seem to care one way or they other. It’s been really frustrating. Don’t bother with this magazine..LeslieAnnnieVersion: 6.2

Love VF, HATE Conde NastIt's almost insulting to charge $4.99 for a single magazine. I've kept my mouth shut, thinking that eventually, with all the poor reviews, at least one person who developed this app would realize that current print subscribers and casual readers should not have to pay such a steep premium for what is essentially the exact same content. There was a spark of hope when they finally brought subscription services and free digital versions to current subscribers to The New Yorker, but that was snuffed out by the lack of similar updates to every other mag. I read GQ, VF, and The New Yorker, a current subscriber to each their print versions. To continue such robbery is plainly unfair to all..Kyle RichardVersion: 1.0

Bad, bad, badThis app is so bad that it makes one wonder why they released it??? If you are a subscriber and you download the app for free ipad access to your subscription, all you get is an opportunity to buy the issues available. Even after following the instructions and reentering the required information. After contacting them five times, the final answer on June 21st was "Dear Subscriber: Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you have experienced. We have identified this bug and are rapidly working to resolve it. In other words they know that is is unable to identify subscribers but still haven't resolved the issue. Looks like the rush to get on the ipad was more important than guaranteeing a friendly user experience....Travel'in ManVersion: 3.0

Love this app...Update, January 7: When I get it. Unfortunately, the iPad edition is available at least a week after the print edition has arrived in the mail. What's the point? Currently I have the February issue in my hands, yet it is still not available for download. Why? -------------------------- When it works. For the past 2-3 days it crashes upon opening. Very frustrating. Seems to happen every time a new issue hits the stands. Update: read in an earlier post that customer was able to access in Airplane Mode. Tried it out and the app didn't crash. Of course, I received a message that it couldn't download the new issue. Turned AM off and downloaded September. Apparently it works; but this is clearly a bug they need to fix..Pddavis13Version: 3.7

Customer service NONEXISTENTAfter paying for a full years subscription I looked at the first issue and then was unable to access any further editions. After three attempts at contact with their "customer service" and no resolution I was forced to contact Apple who worked diligently to try and rectify the situation but was unable to do anything but refund my money. In future I won't worry about global warming, killing trees necessarily and all that jazz and I will buy my stuff at the news stand the old fashioned way. As for this app and anything Conde Nast related I wont bother. Frustrated and Disappointed No stars but you can't submit with out at least one, so one star for Irritation, Frustration and Disappointment.MsiersfosterVersion: 4.0

Doesn’t work with iPad Mini 3I love the magazine and really enjoyed reading the digital version on my old iPad 3. I recently got a new iPad Mini 3 to use on my daily commute. But for some reason I cannot sign into my account on the Mini. I keep getting an error message (“authentication error”). I can sign into my account on my old iPad without any problems and have tried multiple times to get help from Vanity Fair’s support team with the problem with the Mini. But nothing seems to work. Since I can sign into my account on their web site and my old iPad, the problem seems to be a bug specific to the iPad Mini. If you have a Mini don’t bother with this app. It won’t work..OneCarJVersion: 4.5.3

Does Not Work--Not Even A Little BitThis app does not work. I've downloaded it, registered, blah, blah, blah, and it will not let me in. I get "authentication failure" each time. Maybe I forgot my password? Hitting that button gets me a message about not trusting my server. I tried deleting the app and signing up again. It just tells me that my email address is already registered. And around and around we go. I sent them an email to try to figure out what was going on, and I got a form email with FAQ's that they hoped would address my questions. They didn't even come close. They said to reply back if they did not, so I did. They sent the same form email back. I give up..Harried and HopelessVersion: 3.0

Condé Nasty! They have literally stolen money from me!STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP. IT STEALS FROM YOU! All of my previously purchased issues have disappeared and are not available for download. I paid something like $4.99 per issue and it was several issues. I've lost, or rather, had stolen from me at least $40. I would like to have these purchases restored but when I go to the gear icon in the app and select "restore all purchases" nothing happens. This is unacceptable. If I purchased the issues in paper they would still be with me (albeit taking up a lot of space) but there's no benefit to digital issues if you only get to "rent" the issue for an undetermined amount of time! STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP. IT STEALS FROM YOU!.Mike.dVersion: 3.7

Pure CrapI agree, I am a subscriber, and need to jump through hoops to get a download. I have done everything, reset passwords, rebooted, called customer service, to no avail. I will not re up my subscription, because there are plenty of magazines that load monthly without any hassle. this is a joke. I have been putting up w this app for 7 months now, and have managed to actually have 1 magazine downloaded the entire time. sorry, but I think we have been more than patient w this app. Will not renew print sub either, so you have lost at least one customer, but I cannot go through this every time a new issue comes out..LevinkatyVersion: 3.5

Double charging subscribtersI received an email from Vanity Fair yesterday informing me that as a subscriber, I could access issues from my iPad at no cost should I install this app. I happily downloaded the app, but lo and behold, I am being charged to download the magazines! Either fix the app, or stop sending false advertising please..Loopy ilVersion: 3.0

VF failureAm existing VF print subscriber and this app is supposed to provide ipad access? Unfortunately, this app has not worked from the beginning. Numerous email exchanges with VF customer care simply provides instructions to do the same thing over that has already been done when installed. Am still unable to view VF without buying a new subscription. Perhaps that's VF plan from beginning. Offer print customers iPad access to their subscription and when that does not work, leave them to buy a duplicate subscription for their ipad. Now customer care does not respond at all to help requests. Without competent tech support and not working as offered, this app should be avoided..Mjg104Version: 3.0

Worst app ever!This app does not work for subscribers. Vanity Fair/Conde Nast do NOTHING to help. When you contact them, they send you a form letter telling you to sign up. They ought to be ashamed. They are a disgrace to the world of apps. Q.Telliott617Version: 3.0

StrangeOne would think the digital subscription would show up before the magazine has been on newsstands but guess not..SDETVersion: 3.0

Why go digital if you will limit the experience so much?Although this is a digital edition, this magazine has no ability for selecting text, pinch to zoom for photos, or any of the interactive abilities offered by other publications. I didn't like reading images of text on my computer and I don't like doing it on my iPad..DickiefaulderVersion: 3.0

GoneMy purchased copy of this months VF will now not open. It says "cannot load data, restart application and try again". Done this numerous times, even updated my OS today and it still won't work. Not happy, I need my VF!.GonegrrlVersion: 1.0

StuckThe new version of this app is not showing my previously purchased issues. I do not want to run the old version for my old issues and have a second app for new issues..JD1950-1999Version: 1.0

Log In ProblemsAs a subscriber to the magazine for over 2 decades I find it incredibly frustrating that the app fails to recognize my address. I fiddled with "St., Street" and every variation and still no luck. If the point is to offer an alternative log in method for people who don't have their magazine label / account number with them, this shouldn't be like breaking into the Swiss Bank. Then I tried the app contact page to make them aware of the issue and get advice if possible, and was continually prompted for not having a valid zip code even though I had already selected Canada as my country. Again no luck. I wanted to renew my subcription online. Guess I'll stick with snail mail and the non digital magazine. Please make your software more user friendly Vanity Fair !.SolarianVersion: 4.5.3

350mb???The files are 350 mb each and take forever to download. As a previous reviewer said it suspends if it goes into sleep or you switch apps. I wish I could cancel. Other mags are under 50mb. TF20012.TF2001Version: 3.5

Takes too long to download issuesIt's the same as the printed mag. The problem is that it takes way too long to download an issue. It doesn't do it in the background (even with the new newsstand feature) and you have to make sure the iPad doesn't going into a sleep mode while downloading or else it pauses. Fix the amount of time it takes to download and I will give it 5 stars..Samm007Version: 3.5

Vanity UnfairLove this app - when it works!!!!! Bought the magazine, now find it has an add for Sprint (no thanks, I am an overseas subscriber), and it crashes the app. VF - you need to fix this, now..Angryandy67Version: 3.0

VF iPad Edition works – Account Access does notWhile the VF edition displays each month's content very well, the user account access is the WORST I've seen for any publication or website. Pretty well impossible to access one's account information or, most importantly, verify what one has paid or will be billed for. Nowhere can one retrieve or view one's subscription information for the iPad edition..Ams1245588Version: 3.0

Can't get new issue app won't load.The app worked initially but have been unable to access latest issue as app crashes everytime I try to open it. Please. Fix. This. Also your customer service feedback form needs work as it requests information for which there is no field and probably will continue to be a problem for Canadian subscribers. Please fix this also..Jorge-loreVersion: 3.0

Never Worked and Poor Customer ServiceI purchased the $20 year subscription to Vanity Fair iPad app. Although the purchase went through without a problem, I was never able to access the content or any of the various issues of the magazine. I sent several emails to the Vanity Fair customer service and received nothing but automatically-generated responses telling me what to do if I am a subscriber to the print magazine. I'm not a subscriber so that help was useless. Customer service eventually replied but they did not help me at all. I am now waiting to be contacted by their " IS & T department" (whatever that is) but it has been two weeks so I don't expect a response from that. So, essentially, I lost my $20. I recommend not signing up for their subscription on the iPad..TaneDaxterVersion: 3.0

Junk crashes all the now after "update" does not work at allI used to really like Vanity Fair and look forward to reading it. Now all I think about is the writing as shoddy as the App and if I have been fooled all these years. Shame on Vanity Fair for putting out such junk. I have told them either fix the app or cancel my subscription. this is a really bad set up.Mike MacdonaldVersion: 3.5

New versionSeems there is a new version of this app. The previous version was great, easy to navigate, it felt designed for the phone / iPad. Now it’s like the entire magazine was just scanned, you have to scroll through the entire magazine, page for page. Basically unreadable on the phone, to the point I’m going to cancel my subscription..Tosk 2Version: 6.2

Doesn’t Scale for iPhone XSIt’s a crappy letterboxed experience on an iPhone XS. Seriously, coming from someone who works in an app development environment- this is such a simple update to make. I feel that this is probably a business decision to ignore app development in favour of the website. So be it. This app has been deleted..GhostJinSakaiVersion: 5.3.1

Master Fail = Vanity Fair Digital SubscriptionI have subscribed generally more often than not over the years, opting for digital access. Unfortunately, this subscription services FAILS again & again, if not for most, at least definitely for Canadian subscribers. Despite paying for digital subscriptions here and there over the last 5 years, you reject my CORRECT name & address to log in, as well as the account number issued by you to me, as well as my user name, leaving me yet again with no way to log in and actually make use of the subscriptions I have paid for, including my most recent one that I paid for only 2-3 days ago. Buyers Be Warned: every solution offered in the past by customer service has never worked. I have been billed for renewals even though I have gone on record for cancelling, & I still can’t get access..VF Subscription FailsVersion: 5.3.1

Font size and pages!Updated review: just downloaded the new version of the app. Would love to be able to test it out but takes 5+ minutes to download a single issue which then fails just before completing download. Have attempted to delete app and re-install to no effect. Also, update does not inform you that you will have to redownload all issues you have already downloaded. Why is this so difficult? I just want to read the content I have paid for..IgadsbyVersion: 5.0
