Vanity Fair Digital Edition for Positive User Reviews
✓ 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..Version: 3.5
✓ '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!.Version: 5.1
✓ 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..Version: 3.0
✓ 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..Version: 5.0
✓ 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..Version: 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..Version: 3.5
✓ 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)..Version: 5.1
✓ App update failureUpdated the app & now it is frozen. Frankly am tired of the ongoing issues with this app. Fix it.Version: 5.5
✓ 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..Version: 3.5
✓ 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!!.Version: 3.0
✓ 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..Version: 3.5
✓ 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..Version: 5.1
✓ 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..Version: 4.0
✓ 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!!!.Version: 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....Version: 4.6.8
✓ 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.Version: 4.0
✓ On line subscriptionsEasy to use. Love the archives issue.Version: 5.7
✓ 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..Version: 5.5
✓ Thanks for going backThanks for addressing concerns about the new format. It was not user friendly. This format is great! Sometimes change isn't good 😁.Version: 5.1
✓ 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..Version: 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!.Version: 5.1
✓ 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..Version: 3.7
✓ 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..Version: 3.0
✓ 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..Version: 3.6
✓ 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..Version: 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..Version: 3.0
✓ 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..Version: 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?.Version: 3.0
✓ 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..Version: 3.5
✓ 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 :).Version: 3.7
✓ 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..Version: 5.5
✓ 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?!.Version: 5.0
✓ 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..Version: 5.7
✓ 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..Version: 3.6
✓ Vanity fairThis is the only magazine app I don't have trouble with..Version: 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.).Version: 4.0
✓ Can’t open articles!!I’m not sure what’s changed but I can’t open the articles in the latest issue of the digital magazine. I initially thought it might have some to do with my older iPad but I still cannot open the same articles on my new iPhone. Please fix ASAP!!.Version: 5.3
✓ 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..Version: 3.0
✓ 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..Version: 3.0
✓ Great app: VF 💥This app works great on iPhone X.Version: 5.3
✓ 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..Version: 3.5
