GQ Customer Service

I’m not a columnist but as a long term reader of this magazine, I can tell that the content will benefit every discipline that speaks the language. 👍

I've been a subscriber for more than seven years and this digital version has pushed this magazine to a new level. Not only is it much more Eco friendly, saves bookshelves space, but now I find it offers more content. More pros: The layout is beautifuly designed and easy to use. Landscaping mode gives you a whole new layout and hidden contents. The ability to flip to "home" or "bookmark" quickly. Extra footage videos inserted with photos. Photos look stunning. One less thing to carry while traveling. Reading GQ on iPad is now more "fun" than just flipping through pages. Cons: No background downloading, but maybe an issue with how it's setup with Apple. Can't read it at times and places where you can't use electronics, i.e. during takeoff and landing. Should be less expansive since they don't have to print it, but that belongs to a complain to Conde Nast, not here on the rating about the app itself. I'm sure the developers/layout designers don't have much say in pricing. Overall I can't be happier and will never go back to the paper version again.

I absolutely love what y'all did with this app. The zoom out article navigation makes browsing a cinch. What I love most are the interactive buttons riddled through the app so I can buy a pair of shoes shown or see extra pics. Please continue to iterate on the interactivity as it will set you apart. Currently they are a little hard to notice and are rudimentary in functionality, but I can see the potential. My complaints are that the size of each issue is humongous, and that you don't have background downloading. Being in software development, I understand how some priorities have to wait so I applaud you with what you have and can't wait to see how you improve.

Even though I have been a GQ reader for about 10 years, this app has renewed my interest in the magazine! Getting used to browsing took some time it was an enjoying experience. You can tap on images to get details that may have been omitted from the actual print edition, VIDEOS of shoots, etc. And best of all, NO subscription cards falling off of you when you read :) Love that it downloads all the content so I can play while in Subway. Thank you for the awesomeness! PS: I am a print subscriber and get iPad version for free. You have to enter your customer number from the cover of the print edition to get this for free. Just signing in isn't gonna work.

Wanted to get my two cents after having read the comments, feeling ambivalent over getting the app, and then getting the subscription any way. The digital magazine is kind of incredible. If the digital edition comes out a while after the print, I wonder if it's because the digital edition is interactive and changes layout between landscape and portrait. Kind of incredible. I don't think some of the reviewers appreciate how interactive and dynamic the digital edition is vs the print. It's not just a copy of what's in the magazine. It's much easier to navigate than a magazine and more fun to go through the content. Finally, the downloads are huge. But you can delete at will and re download your old editions when you want. Should be careful about downloading over cellular data. It would absolutely eat up half a gig. Won't comment much on the magazine content itself. I think gq is interesting enough. But if you like the magazine you will not be disappointed with the digital edition period.

I am in love with having GQ on my iPad! The inclusion of videos, song previews, and direct links to websites are all awesome details that I really appreciate. There's one thing about these digital issues that has been frustrating me though: the inconsistency of photos/ads when compared to the print version. I always enjoy looking at the ads presented in GQ and I hate that they're different depending on which direction I rotate my iPad! There will oftentimes be completely different images depending on whether I'm in portrait or landscape, and even within articles that include images, they can sometimes get cropped so severely that most of the image is gone. As the digital magazine evolves I hope the GQ team addresses this inconsistency and more accurately mimics the print version.

I love the magazine and I also enjoy the iPad experience. But it's just painful to have to keep the app open to download every issue. Considering how large the files are, it can sometimes take forever. The only thing that would make this app perfect is being able to download new issues in the background. I'm sure that the GQ iPad team can make this happen. Or at least make it an option for people that don't mind using their data all the time. Other than that, the app never crashes, and the experience itself is pretty amazing. Its not too different from the print version, but its much more interactive and feels more personal. Most of the time I don't even bother opening the print issue and I do all my reading on my iPad.

I got the printed subscription of this magazine and now I can use it not only in my iPad, but in my Kindle Fire too! In my opinion that's enough to give this app a 5 star review. No other major magazine does that. I don't know why so many low reviews on this app, seriously! About the background downloads: this is not a problem just of this magazine, but of any other in the newsstand. In think there may be some restriction from Apple about that. iTunes and App Store are the only apps that let you do background downloads, any other app won't let you.

The content is great. Witty writing, interactive elements, video content, etc. I was never a subscriber to the print edition but I am impressed with the digital version. As to the download experience I didn't have any issues at all. The 677MB file downloaded in 14 minutes on my Fios connection. As for the review that said it would take "days to download" I would suggest dropping that dial-up connection and grabbing some broadband. Yes, you must also leave the app open to download content so put down the iPad for 15 minutes and go for a walk! Can't wait for the next issue!

I must agree that the download is painfully slow, not to mention you have to keep the app up and active in order to download. If you move to a different app, or leave your iPad open and leave for a few minutes while the screen goes to sleep, the download will backtrack to where it started. BUT, I really enjoy the interactive interface and having all of my issues in one place, as well as being able to get old issues (cough cough Kate Upton cough) as I am a new subscriber. I really like the workout stuff in this past issue, keep those up and expand more on them with stuff to do, I'm getting bored with my usual workout routine.

The GQ Magazine app is one of the best out there. Easy to navigate, well laid out, and not overly cluttered with unnecessary videos (like Esquire). The only think I don't like about the app is the size of each issue.... 450+ MBs.... Seems really large and takes a long time to download. This is especially annoying for me because I travel internationally for work a lot and the wireless in other countries, especially developing countries, is never very fast (or even available). I wish I could download an issue on the computer and just update my iPad when it finished. If that happened, I'd give this app 5 stars.

Just want to say thanks for making this available to current print subscribers at no additional cost! Nothing is more irritating than finding out you have to pay twice for a magazine you're already subscribed to if you want it available on the iPad. You guys should consider making a health magazine, I'm sure you'd eventually replace them (ie men's health). As far as the app goes, it works great, haven't found any issues or problems navigating, definitely beats the print version! I'll keep my subscription till I die!

I have been subscribing to GQ now, for over 2 years and never thought to try the tablet version. This is a very well done app and I love all of the extras that the tablet version gives you. The alternate photos, video clips, and interactivity of it all is just amazing. While tinkering around with other magazine apps, I realized how that this one is head and shoulders above the rest. Keep up the good work ! The only improvement to be made now is to figure out a way to incorporate smell with the cologne samples.

The old UI was so much better. It is now just a website in an App. Also, I get errors all the time when trying to download the latest issue. Sometime it acts like I don't have a subscription. Other times it give me a download error. The whole purpose of using the app on a tablet is so that I can read the issue on the road even if I don't have an internet connection. The app is so unreliable now I am thinking of cancelling my subscription.

I've had a subscription to GQ for years, but it reached a new point of excellence with its newer electronic capabilities. Flipping through stories is a breeze with the side-to-side swipe, or continue reading a story by swiping down, and access to retailers and other "where to buy" links are just a click away now. Not to mention additional videos of the Women Of GQ alongside their photoshoots, as well as other stories, this developed platform exceeds expectations and really blows you away.

One of the only magazines that I subscribe to, that allows you to download digital issues for free if you're already a print subscriber. The digital issues themselves are very well put together. I love the picture functionality, that allows you to tap to view the different pictures from the photo spreads. Also, the fact that they include their various videos directly in the issues, is awesome, since there's no need to leave the app an search for them.

I love this app and thank you for allowing me to link my subscription. I've subscribed for many years and was disappointed to originally see I had to pay $4.99 per subscription. Thank you for changing that and valuing your subscribers. I travel frequently and this will make reading GQ more pleasurable and efficient. I won't have to be home for my subscription and I won't have to lug a big magazine in my bag. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The app is awesome first of all. I used to only skim through the print edition pick what I want to read if anything but I love the iPad so much I usually read the whole mag. 2nd to all those people that right reviews that the app takes up to much space....there is an archive feature! It's in the library on the app next to all the pics of the mags. You can archive and it frees up space. 1. GQ needs a "how to" on the app for those non-techy people 2. GQ needs to get the iPad editions out at the same time the print edition arrives. Not a few days later.

I was very annoyed when I didn't have access to the digital version because I had a print subscription. With the update I now have access, and I must say that this is one of the most beautiful apps I've ever used. This is an app that really takes advantage of all the things that are great about the iPad (namely the stunning screen and fluid interface.) If all magazines had apps like this I'd never read a print magazine ever again.

I haven't experienced the app-crashing problems others have mentioned, and I really enjoy the additional content (extra pictures, videos, interactive items, etc)... and really only have one gripe: the Library automatically pauses downloads if you leave the app or if the iPad's auto-lock feature activates. At ~700MB /issue, it would be wonderful if we could have a Settings toggle to allow background downloading (and to go with it, a toggle for WiFi-only downloads)

I have no problems what so ever with the new version. I can get my iPad edition w/o any issues being a print subscriber. The first time in it asks me to give them the print information, I submit that. Then it asks me to create an account to login with or use an existing conde nast account. I put in my wired account info (both the same account) and it syncs up flawlessly. If you can't get it to work, then you're doing something wrong.

Need to fix the download process. For me the gold standard is the WSJ. WSJ Downloads and at the same time you can view content. Also as other reviewers mention turning off the sleep mode is required to get the download. I plug in the iPad overnight and let it go. Not the best, but it works. Once it is downloaded, I really like it since as a print subscriber I can get the iPad version for free. How about an iPad only subscription?

The app works beautifully, but it is astounding to me that it takes so long for the tablet edition to show up available through the app. The newsstand edition has been for sale via brick and mortar for a week or so and the app version is still non-existent. This has been the case for the last three issues. It should be available as a download the day it hits the stands. End of story,

The magazine as a whole is great, but the experience on an iPad is amazing. Scrollable articles, linked videos, convenient shortcuts, and all sorts of things. I am/was a mail-in subscriber and it was to my amaze that I could easily create my account and now have the option to download my previous issues for free. Once I'm done I can simply archive the issues so that it doesn't take up so much space.

This app will change the way you read magazines! So interactive and the built in videos are a nice touch. I can't go back to reading the print version of GQ after buying the iPad subscription. $20 is well worth the price for an entire year! It is a must have, you won't regret it. Very impressive!!

Easy to use and works well even on my old ipad on 5.2

I have a subscription to GQ magazine and was excited to find out I could view my subscription on my iPad for no additional cost. The magazines will not fully download though. The app keeps freezing and pausing the downloads. Once this is fixed I am sure it will be an amazing feature....until then, not so great.

Getting run around between Apple & GQ on how to get into my Account- and access my yearly subscription that I have been paying from for years. DO NOT DOWNLOAD- NIGHTMARE & POOR/INDIFFERENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

Love this app. The videos are great and it's very easy to get access to all the material. Also, with MyGQ it's easy to keep some of the articles or pictures that we need. The only downside is that I don't understand why my grocery store gets the hard copy before I get my issue electronically. Shouldn't it be the opposite. However, still a great app.

Some issues with download speed.

Title says it all. App is currently useless.

To all those criticizing this brilliantly designed, high-quality, digital rendition of one of the most entertaining magazines around: Perhaps it's time to retire the 56k modems, get WiFi and join the rest of us in the 21st century. How is 400MB an issue, when the digital edition is not just high quality, but features an amazingly entertaining and super sleek layout? You don't have to download the mag via 3G, while on the go; download it at home or in the office (took me a negligeable 2.5min) and off you go. In conclusion: please stop distorting the true rating of this brilliant app with your unfounded and illogical reviews. Thank you.

The app itself is great, however porting over my purchases from the previous app has not yet worked. Finally the magazine is not just a pdf of the print, definitely nice. If they fixed the porting issue it would be a five star.

Can’t view in full screen without seeing the status bar at the top, very distracting. Also if I’m reading an older magazine and exit it automatically takes me back to the very top of the feed instead of where I was, so then I have to scroll all the way back down. These problems didn’t exist before the most recent update and need to be addressed.

Even when signed in and linked to my subscription I am limited to only 10 pages. Submitting feedback and/or requesting support requires a submitting a form with an entire personal bio, address, phone number . You already have that information, and I am logged into the account. Please update the app to allow paying subscribers to access the product we are paying for.

I keep getting signed out of my account, occasionally needing to redownload dozens and dozens of issues even though I am set to keep all downloaded issues on my iPad

Downloaded the app for the first time in years. What happened to it? It’s useless and there’s nothing on it anymore

I've used the app for 18 months and, overall it does most of what you would expect in 2013. Beautiful content, acceptable navigation, and some nice feature that aren't available in magazine. Of course, sometimes small changes or glitches can make you pull your hair out. For me, the most recent is the "my book" icon that pops up on the top right corner every time you land on an advertisement. I get what GQ is trying to do, but from an UI perspective it's distractive and with no way to turn it off, it's unacceptable. It muddles the simplistic (and enjoyable) page by page browsing a user would expect. Imagine, while reading your favorite novel, every time you flipped a page, you saw a blinking light. At first, you would just ignore, then you would start anticipating it, then you would do anything to get rid of it (while mumbling about the downfall of society and yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off the lawn.) I digress. Yes, GQ I get it. You are doing everything possible to make me spend a few extra dollars on one of your advertisers products. And in some brainstorming meeting some Sr Mgr said " we need to make it easier or more convenient or increase rev" while really saying "I have no good ideas but I need to be heard"... Bottom line, allow me to get rid of the "my book" icon, and I'll stay a customer.

This app should be called 'can't connect to server try back later'. I have 3 subscriptions to magazines from this publisher and all of the apps suffer from the same issue (they are all basically the same app - different content). I'm currently trying to restore about 10 issues (switched devices-had to re-download) and I've been trying to download at random times through the day for 3 days... i still have 5 issues to go (for reference it took around 30 minutes to get 15 issues of a different magazine in that same time period). No download queue either... just one at a time then hope you can connect to get the next one. Even when you can connect to their servers or once you've finally downloaded an issue they are constantly in your face with buying subscription services (which most people probably have if they are using the app), or overpriced individual back issues which as far as i can tell you can't seperate out from the content you have paid them for. I have nothing positive to say about this app.

I bought this app and subscription despite reading the many reviews that said it constantly crashed. I naively thought that the bugs would be worked out since many of the reviews were from may, I was wrong. I've had the app for about 2 hours, 30 min of which was spent downloading 1 issue. The rest of the time actually went well, although the swiping and scrolling were not as responsive as I expected. Then, as the reviews warned the app began to crash, over and over as I was attempting to read an article (very frustrating). I'm hesitant to ask for my money back because I have confidence in believing that GQ being such a classy magazine would rectify these problems as quick as possible, which I'm sure would satisfy their many fans. But if this persist I would be forced to ask for my money back because I cannot use an app that doesn't work. - frustrated customer-

The Better Business should due notified that Conde Nast is falsely advertising that their publications are FREE and available as an IPad app: it's not true. And the most hilarious part is reading their emails from customer service where they suggest they are looking into it. As a subscriber who pays $12 a year for a magazine, it seems quite unreasonable to pay $4.99 for one single issue, and as a current subscriber, to actually have to pay for an issue is an insult. But the real insult is the shananigans they are pulling by sending with each issue a subscription number that one imagines is the way to access the digital issue, when i suspect they are actually saying this is how you can access the site where you can purchase the issue, as if getting the app was about having to spend some money. This is a fiasco and Conde Nast should immediately issue clarification about whether or not, subscribers are entitled to the digital issue. Period.

They completely changed the UI, eliminating a layout that resembled the print edition for a bland layout that resembles a website with endless scrolling. I had several issues saved on the previous version and all were deleted with the update. When I try download through the new app, it either says No Internet connection or begins to download only to freeze at around 95%. So I can't have issues saved for offline reading. My library of available back issues is also incomplete. I used to be able to download issues going back to mid-2011, but my favorite issue in early 2012 no longer appears. Also iPad exclusive content doesn't appear to exist in back issues anymore. If I could go back to the previous version of the app, I would. The 5.0 version is too buggy and should never have been released as-is.

I’ve been a subscriber to GQ since I was 13 years old, it’s now thirty years later. I literally can’t stand the magazine anymore. It has lost its way. It is possessed with street style that looks good on Instagram instead of what looks good in real life. It has become beyond “woke”. Every month I download the latest issue, scroll through it looking for something interesting to read. Every month I am disappointed. Everything began to change when they got rid of the now late Glen O’Brien. Then when clickbait filled Buzzfeed wrote a negative review of GQ because GQ wasn’t woke enough, GQ took notice. I thought GQ would laugh it off. After all Buzzfeed is just a muckwrecker, the birthplace of cancel culture. Well, here we are now. With GQ now bowing down to those who don’t even read GQ to begin with. GQ is just out of touch.

Good app overall but there are a few key missing features: no access to the dictionary, no ability to enlarge the text, no ability to decrease the brightness beyond the Apple "limit" (the Kindle app, for example, lets you decrease the brightness even further than the minimum you can set via the Settings), no ability to bookmark a page or section in a text. Also, no ability to download issue when app is running in the background or if iPad is in sleep mode. App must be running for entire duration of download. Pia. Plus side: easy and clear navigation, fast loading time of pages, high resolution of text and images. App never crashes.

Condé Nast should be embarrassed for putting this app out. Content doesn't download, crashes, and extremely dull compared to GQ UK. Every time I open the app I'm just waiting for another error to pop up...and I'm rarely disappointed. The worst part about it is I called them for over three weeks about the problem I was having. I was just pushed off, pushed off, until I just stopped calling and never got my problem resolved. I obviously enjoy the content of the magazine but it's a terrible way to do business. I LOVE the UK version and am way more likely to open that then get a headache looking through this. I care about my iPad dearly but this app has made me contemplate throwing it through a wall. My advice, get the print version and download GQ UK.

The new 5.0 update has completely ruined this app for me. (iPhone + iPad) Most annoying is the removal of the Bookmark feature. All of my previously saved articles were deleted so you can forget about ever looking at older issues again. Not that I could if I wanted to because my library of downloaded issues were removed and offline mode barely loads the current issue. Not to mention the app is buggy, slow, doesn't save where you left off, and removed the navigation bar at the bottom. I understand why they made the updates they did, but they didn't have to kill off the features that made it great to use. Canceling my digital subscription.

This app is totally unusable. I've mistakenly purchased a print subscription as well as a digital subscription and you know what? I can't get either of them on my iPad. Every time I open the app, the new issues appear, but it wants to to rebut the issue or subscription even though I've signed in and out multiple times to no avail! And when I have re-bought individual issues out of frustration, the downloads are sometimes over 1GB in size! It's quicker for me to go to the store than download this behemoth. Forget it when I'm traveling, which is the whole purpose of getting a digital subscription! No wonder the print industry is going down the tubes, with pathetic execution like this, they deserve to.

Honestly, the tablet version of this magazine is quite satisfactory. There are some features that really make good use of the technology. It's great! Only, it's not! Outside a purchased issue, there is nothing fantastic about GQ. Their customer support, or lack thereof, is a disgrace! Five times I've attempted to get support from them! I have gotten not a single response. My inquiries are about changing/managing a subscription. It is impossible to control the monthly-requiring subscription. When a new issue is available and I open the app, sure enough, it begins download. And yes, the automatic download is off! I basically wanted to change my subscription to the annual option, but can't. Conde Nast needs to upgrade this. I am very disappointed!

First of all good magazine to read but HORRIBLE when I log into my account. No expiration dates on my Subscription and No Account number when I log into my account. I downloaded the GQ app and can't even log into my account to download magazines. When I contact GQ its like an automated system that keeps giving me steps on fixing the problem. I've tried over and over but if its this difficult to keep up with the technology well GQ magazine has alot work in there hands besides there wont even be anymore paper magazines anymore, look what happening with books. Total Dissapointment!! I'll have to try another magazine to read and upload.

I enjoy GQ magazine. You would think in this "Save the trees" world, they would have begun to focus on the electronic version of the magazine instead of the paper copy I had a subscription for a year and really enjoyed it. I decided to renew, and like others I have seen writing reviews, they assigned me a new account number which is not recognized for some reason. There is no phone number to call to fix this, and nobody responds to my emails. Unfortunately, I have to put up with paper copies of the magazine instead of the electronic version for the remainder of my subscription. However, you can bet I will NEVER SUBSCRIBE OR BUY ANOTHER magazine from this company. Not just Gq, but any other under the Conde' Moniker. Nate Fisher

This is one of the worst apps I've seen, mainly because the only way to download the content is to have it open and your iPad not sleeping. At 650MB per edition this means you've got to constantly keep tapping on your screen to get the whole thing downloaded. Why they don't have bAckground downloading is beyond me. Also, have yet to find a way to turn off the automatic subscription renewal, and support from Conde Nast is non-existent. I have sent five emails to their customer support over the previous 4 months and have yet to get an answer. Looks like I'm a calling my credit card to block their charges going forward, this seems to be the only way to get out of this poor excuse of an app.

While I love the interactive content and the ability to read GQ on my iPad, I can read the print magazine faster than it takes to download the electronic version. After upgrading to OS5, I needed to re-download my previously purchased issues (I hadn't read a couple of them). Every time I try, I receive an error in downloading. I've deleted and reinstalled the app several times to no avail. The latest issue is fine. If you"re thinking of upgrading make sure you"re caught up on your past editions. I'm also hoping there"s no problem with future ones ore the next app upgrade addresses these issues. Good luck!

Conde Nast makes great iPad apps -- GQ, Vanity Fair, New Yorker, etc. -- which all have more or less the same UI and functionality. My A1 gripe with the GQ app is the timeliness of delivery. Unlike New Yorker's iPad edition, which is available late Sunday night before the weekly print edition delivers by mail or lands on the newsstand, GQ's July issue is already on the rack right now but still no iPad edition. A few pages into the July print edition is an advertisement promoting the iPad edition, but it is not available either for purchase as a single issue, iPad subscription, or free to print subscribers.

Clean, elegant implementation of the magazine that provides the "potential" for wonderful interactivity. The most negative aspect of this version is the lack of background downloading for individual issues. File sizes are large and users with slow internet connections will find themselves unable to fully download an issue without remaining within the app itself. If this issue is fixed this could easily be a 5 star publication. Until then it is a wonderful exercise in frustration.

After upgrading to the current version that was released for Newsstand compatibility I lost the ability to view any of my issues. What ever tinkering was done has rendered the application useless. I am a subscriber and don't want to have to buy each issue if I'm already subscribed. I contacted Condé Nast and I just keep getting the same form letter stating to make sure I'm signed in and to restart the application. They also ask for you to reply if the issue wasn't fixed. Did that, and guess what my response is? The same form letter! Their customer support is a joke. Overall, I'm Very disappointed in this application. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

I have a magazine subscription. I entered my info into the all access section and it accepted my info. However it still sees me as a non subscriber. I've emailed them multiple times and they keep asking me to log in using my email address, and I keep telling them that I am. We've been going back and forth with this nonsense for days. I think they respond to you with scripted responses. It's been over two weeks since I signed up for all access and have yet to download anything because it wants me to "buy" the magazines that I should be able to download. Until they fix their support quality I'm going to keep my rating to one star.

There are numerous apps with state of the art graphics, complex functionality (Korg iElectribe etc.) and others that are simple but user friendly. But some reason, magazine apps tend to be disastrous even though they should be fairly simple. This GQ app will leave you frustrated, as the first magazine you buy will take hours to download (if at all).. not to mention during the download phase you constantly have to hit 'resume' because it consistenly pauses itself for no reason at all. Other than that, it's just another basic magazine app which you would buy for convenience and eco friendliness (too bad it offers neither).

1) Update wiped my saved downloads. I got them back, but it's annoying because I'd like to have been able to pick up on the page and issue I left off on. 2) ***WORST*** Download speed to save to device is horrible for some reason and often appears to just hang. 3) Why take away the option to bulk remove issues from device? Stupid. Also, where did the auto-download option go? 4) After I had to re-sign in, the app was too stupid to realize I was a subscriber. I still had to force quit it and reopen (after going to the website to confirm that I, in fact, still have an active subscription).

The content seems to be of the quality you would expect from the publisher but, as with most newsstand apps, the actual app is frustrating. My issues won't download unless I have the app running in the foreground. Before you correct me, I have enabled automatic downloads on my iPad. If I switch apps or the screen is locked, downloading pauses. This means I have to sit and watch all 300 MB's to download if I want to open an issue. At 0.1 Mbps, this is tough. No idea why it doesn't download at my normal wifi speed of 15 Mbps.

This is the worst app. Takes FOREVER to download a magazine. If ipad goes to sleep, it pauses. If you switch to another app, it pauses download. Same if you try and download another issue at the same time. Magazine sizes are huge and ridiculous.

I think the new format I'd cool. However, I had a hard enough time justifying $2.99 issues in the old app (print subscription is more around the $1 mark). $4.99 brings this out of the playing field. Why should I pay more for something costing less? Give me an option to subscribe for the same price as the print subscription and I will jump at the opportunity. Until then, you have lost a faithful customer. I hope sense eventually wins out over greed.

It looks great and feels great, but the rates are too high especially for someone who has/is used to subscription rates. This is a must before I can give this app more stars.

Each time I download a new issue I have to leave the app open while it downloads. It's not a big deal but it's a little annoying. Once the issue is downloaded it's a great magazine but this one thing spoils the experience.

I can't believe this is a featured app, it crashes, doesn't download mags properly, freezes, and has tons of bugs even when trying to reinstall. Please fix this

To download one issue (600mb)! You actually have to watch the progress bar crawl - if you try to use any other app, the download pauses! GQ - fix this now!!!

I love the magazine I’ve read it since years ago, but the app just sucks! And I’m gonna tell you why, you have to swipe very carefully or you’ll stay in the same page, then after you’re in the next page if you wanna go back to the bottom of the page where you were reading the app will send you to the top, there’s not mark that you’re in the last page and you are just there trying to swipe next one hahahaha app makes it hard to enjoy the reading, that’s my review.

Gq app. Why ever since this app was updated its made it worse....do you you not know what you people are doing.

I have been a GQ subscriber for years and one of the early adopters of the digital format, and I must say they are moving backwards with this with this non-interactive, flat, uninteresting, and uninnovative version. It's almost to the point I'm questioning my digital subscription. What are you doing CONDÉ NAST?

The App is broken! I can't view the May issue. 😡

Previous version worked fine. Why update it so it doesn't save your place, doesn't stay downloaded & has not index / content feature. Truly terrible app. 1/5 is a very generous score.

Worst magazine app in the AppStore. GQ, dump this app developer or have them bring back previous version

WTF happened to the GQ app?? It was the finest example of how to do a digital interactive magazine and is now just a static PDF viewer of the print edition. What a disappointment! Beyond that, it's even a terrible PDF viewer that loses your spot when you leave the app and you have to find what you were reading.

The offline and download features of this app sucks. Takes days to download a single issue. Called Customer Support at GQ and they blame it on apple. I've download GB's of movies faster than a single issue of GQ. The Issue visual contents does not show the pages. It is just a blank page even though the sections are all download. You can view the page when scrolling left and right but it's a blank screen on the contents page.

The new version does not save your place in the magazine. Every time I open the app I have to go and find where I was in the magazine. This is a massive PITA. Please fix ASAP!

Come on guys? My 6 Plus is the perfect size for reading. I’d like to continue to ready GQ on the go, but if you don’t get iPhone support, I am going to have to drop my subscription.

This app has been great when it works but it usually won't let me download latest issues

I have been a subscriber for 3 years and I am expiring my subscription next month due to how poorly this app works. Until they fix this app I will no longer read or subscribe to GQ.

4th time trying to download the latest issue and it keeps crashing...

First of all, you need to move the "click here to close tutorial" button for the my GQ tutorial because 1. The button takes too long to respond so you try touching it again and 2. the regular myGQ button is in the same spot on the next page so it brings you to myGQ and takes you out of the magazine. Very frustrating! You should never have to touch a button to go to the next page, I want to swipe out of the tutorial but I can't! My other peeve is that myGQ takes you out of the magazine. After you hit save, it should bring you back into the magazine! Lastly, Ads that have video should not automatically start playing unless you want to watch the ad. Especially if it's going to be a full screen video that takes over your screen. Also in the June 2013 issue, the article "The 50 Funniest Things on the Internet" really missed the mark. Why are there no links in the article to the referenced websites/videos?

The new myGQ button is annoying: it pops up at each page turn. It really distracts from reading.

The February issue is not downloading. Not happy. What should I do?

After iOS 6.1 update, the app keeps crashing if I'm not to connected to the Internet (wi-fi or tethering). Pls fix.

Annoying to have it crash repeatedly.

Crashes on the ipad 3

Crashes all the time on iPad 3, now stuck in infinite loop of pop ups saying "Connect to iTunes to enable push notifications" .... Unusable!

Mag is presented well, but subscription is auto renewed, and it is not easy to cancel it.

How the Friggin HELL do you unsubscribe from this app? I originally bought ONE issue but it forced me to buy 5 issues. Very sneaky app as it does not make it easy to unsubscribe from this.

Really like the layout and navigation but when you're downloading between 400-600MB per issue its a bit ridiculous. Honestly guys you've got a good product but no need for that large a download. Otherwise if you like the magazine then you'll like the electronic format.

Echoing a previous comment, issue size is ridiculous. Some people have limited bandwidth. Other magazine apps allow you to download articles on demand... Pls implement

However it is slow to appear for new issues...the new issue of GQ is on sale on newsstand and I still waiting for the new issue to appear on my ipad2 as I subscribe to Gq on my iPad 2

I can see the latest issue in my Newsstand however issue crashes upon opening.... Not good!

App immediately crashes. Good magazine, garbage app.

After seeing the current paper mag on newstands for a week now, I am disappointed that the digital version is not yet ready to download. Otherwise I would swap my usual paper mag purchases for the digital version. News and Fashion are timely are they not Conde Nast? (#HowToDamageABrand)

Once it works it's great but that's only if it doesn't crash within a few minutes of opening it. Disappointing.

App worked when I first got it. Downloaded 1 issue without much problem and enjoyed the interactive issue very much. Now the app just crashes and doesn't last longer than 20 seconds.

To actually view content once the app stops crashing. Back to the drawing board Condé Nast.

As a loyal magazine subscriber, I was excited about this app and using it on my iPad. Sadly it crashes all the time and takes forever to download issues. I can't even open it anymore. Buyer beware: stay away!

Terrible app. I had purchased a number of GQ magazines through the first version of the app which sometimes would not download. When the second version came out to replace the first none of my previously downloaded purchases appeared or were recoverable. Totally ripped off! Careful!

Would be great if it worked. Tried to load it today for the first time in weeks....crashes every time now. Useless at the moment. Will there be a fix?

...like what everybody else is saying, GQ is not that important that I should have to devote an hour to sitting around and wait til a single issue loads. Seriously, you can't do anything else but keep the app opened and prevent your iPad from closing for a single issue to load. Who were the geniuses that didn't mention this when the app went through QA? This is a disgrace.
