Vanity Fair Digital Edition Negative Reviews
Unreadable.The font is minuscule and although settings includes a font size slider, the slider does not work. This is especially annoying as the web site is also terrible. While it has larger font it is incredibly slow to load and the navigation is a nightmare..Richard FlackVersion: 6.4
I used to live this App, now itās horribleWhat happened to the table of contents and links to stories? Now the only option is to thumb through every page of the magazine, a complete waste of time. The person responsible for this āupgradeā should be fired..Mry68Version: 6.3
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.

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..DickfaulderVersion: 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.

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
Crashes, unable to useBought a digital subscription, crashes upon opening edition. Despite reinstalls I'm unable to use. Asking for refund..MacProseVersion: 3.0
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 ā 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 itās 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 Iām going to cancel my subscription..Tosk 2Version: 6.2
Download doesnāt function properlyI donāt usually have problems downloading but I havenāt been able to read VF on my iPhone.KlsqcrndcanVersion: 5.7
Worst app everLogs in successfully but mentions and under existing subscription shows success but doesnāt load any issues and asks me to pay again!
Canāt they pay 2 developers to develop an app for them that actually works!!.MahdiRamVersion: 5.7
Vanity FairHard to navigate and does not rotate on iPad. Love the content and have been a subscriber for 20 years.Tdg1251Version: 5.7
SubscriberIām a frustrated digital subscriber whoās supposed to have access to the magazines online but the block page of for subscribers only often pops up. Itās frustrating and the app isnāt user friendly..Pattycake1967Version: 5.7
Horrendous App With No Customer ServiceThey took my money, and weeks later I still canāt access my subscription. Numerous phone calls, emails and no response. Zero customer service. Do NOT buy subscriptions..DEM683Version: 5.7
Draconian privacy policyWould love to renew and use this app again but read the privacy policy ....Sookie905Version: 5.7
UnusableThe interface is worse than any emag Iāve ever used. The latest issue locks on the inner cover and wonāt let you access any further. A complete waste of money..Djc3456Version: 5.7
Holly Wood IssueI have the same reaction each year to the Hollywood issue: āWhat a waste of an issue !ā.Dave moriasVersion: 5.7
Not user friendlyDifficult to navigate. Not intuitive. Cannot be read when screen is turned. Dated format..MP:SL-SMVersion: 5.5
Not Worth The HassleThis app is a mess. New issues wonāt download. The few that have, constantly malfunction - freezing up. Iām cancelling my subscription and Conde Nast can keep my money. Not worth the hassle..LadyLoLo#Version: 5.3.1
VF on my devicesDownloaded and paid for the current issue on my phone but was unable to open on my tablet, which is where I wanted to read it later. Rethink ordering..Morrie53Version: 5.3.1
App doesnāt workI subscribed but the app still wants me to pay for issues. Customer service will not respond. Careful before you subscribe.Chico picante jrVersion: 5.3.1
Doesnāt Scale for iPhone XSItās 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 canāt get access..VF Subscription FailsVersion: 5.3.1
DisplayYour content is not covering the whole screen on my iPhone 10 as of yesterday May 2/18. I have contacted Apple and was told there is nothing wrong with my phone. Please advise if there is a problem with your app and what can be done to fix the problem. Thank you..GattothethirdVersion: 5.3
