GQ for Positive User Reviews
✓ Favorite SubscriptionGreat content always, whilst making great use of iOS features...using it on 1st gen iPad and it runs smoothly..Version: 3.7
✓ Works week on Gen 1 iPadGreat design, still works on gen 1 iPad..Version: 4.1
✓ Thank you GQI 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!.Version: 3.0
✓ Kinda tired of one thing.I love GQ and have been a subscriber via iPad for 2 years now, print version for several years before that, but there is one thing I don't like about this app. If for whatever reason you lose your connection while downloading an issue, it's like the app just deletes part of what it already downloaded. This is usually not an issue except when I'm deployed and the internet is kinda sheisty. I'll get to about 75/80 percent downloaded then it'll disconnect and the download will be set back to like 25-30 percent completion. Just thought I would share..Version: 4.1
✓ Fantastic!!!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..Version: 3.5
✓ Great Magazine on iPad!!!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!.Version: 3.7
✓ Good start.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..Version: 3.0
✓ ExcellentThe perfect mag apps..Version: 4.1
✓ Thank you!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!.Version: 3.5
✓ An excellent style guide...with styleGentleman's Quarterly has been helping us guys out for decades and with this digital version they have maximized our reading experiences. People always complement me on my attire and style and I always reply, "Hey, I gotta thank GQ for that." Plus, they always have an abundance of great men's products, from colognes to shaving products, in every issue. I've been reading the digital issue for almost a year now and I love it. It's so convenient to just download the latest issue once it is released. Plus with features like myGQ and integrated video clips, it just makes our reading experience that much better. It's easy to use and looks great on my iPad with retina display. GQ is doing it right. I will be a subscriber for a very long time. It is worth it 100%..Version: 4.1
✓ Long term userSigned up for a subscription from the first iPad replica edition. Look forward to it each month. Don't always like all the bells and whistles and tap to reveal more stuff, but always informative and entertaining..Version: 4.1
✓ UK GQ!!!There is the UK GQ it's just a bit hard to find, ( don't no why ) go to www.gq-magazine.co.uk/ ipad. Happy reading!.Version: 3.0
✓ Awesome app except one thing....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..Version: 3.0
✓ A must have for any guy!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!!.Version: 3.0
✓ Puts paper to shameI'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..Version: 4.1
✓ BrilliantCheaper than the uk mag on ipad and in print and so much better in terms of content. Keep up the good work!!.Version: 4.0
✓ App update won't download...Title says it all. App is currently useless..Version: 3.6
✓ BravoCompelling and stylish..Version: 5.6
✓ IPhone PleasePlease make it available for iPhone ):.Version: 4.5
✓ I like it.Some issues with download speed..Version: 4.2
✓ DisappointedI 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..Version: 3.0
✓ Returned to a great reading experienceI previously rated this as 2 stars when the format was changed to a pdf type file, but I’m pleased to see that this has been reverted back to a format that is pleasing to use and read..Version: 5.2
✓ Great app for a magazineLove 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..Version: 4.1
✓ GQ needs a how toThe 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..Version: 3.7
✓ Love it!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..Version: 3.0
✓ Worth it.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..Version: 3.7
✓ Great MagazineUS GQ is an altogether different proposition to UK GQ - and better in my opinion. Less of a middle class Tory Rag, this is slick, youthful, colourful and has some of the best photography out there. A ridiculously cheap price for the annual subscription, buy it!.Version: 3.0
✓ No issues here.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..Version: 3.1
✓ Great App! Wish it downloaded faster or on the computer.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..Version: 3.7
✓ ExcellentEasy to use and works well even on my old ipad on 5.2.Version: 4.5
✓ It's amazing !The new GQ app is available today and I can not wait to download it. This version has enhanced the reading experience and it is easier for reader to quickly go through the issue. But we can not zoom in pictures to see details any more and the single issue price is a little higher than previous version. All in all a great Magazine app!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Try for yourself.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..Version: 3.5
✓ Too long to downloadNeed 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?.Version: 3.5
✓ Printed Subscription = Digital SubscriptionI 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..Version: 3.6
✓ Redefining the MagazineI 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..Version: 3.5
✓ All the problems are fixed! Download nowThere was a time where you could only use the app and read the purchased magazines when connected to WIFI or equivalent. This has been fixed. I now prefer downloading the issues. The US version of GQ is much better than the UK version in my opinion. Better digitally designed and is a pleasure to read. For £14 a year this is much cheaper than me buying a $60 shipped version!.Version: 4.0
✓ The blueprint for all other magazine apps!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..Version: 3.6
✓ Good overall, needs background downloadingI 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).Version: 3.0
✓ Almost thereVersion 3.7 - My June edition nicely downloaded automatically which is great. Please, please, get the Advertisements at the same visual quality as the rest of the magazine. Lots of them still look really poor on the retina iPad especially as the editorial content is now optimized for the new display..Version: 3.7
✓ One of the best iPad apps out thereEven 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..Version: 3.0
✓ Great.It's really good. The app is kinda slow with "continuing downloads" but over all, a very good app. It's even sold me a few things from the app. Like the really hot jacket in the LeDi issue. Omg it arrives soon..Version: 3.5
✓ Great Magazine on the iPadWanted 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..Version: 3.7
✓ Bad UI .. Subscription ErrorThe 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..Version: 5.0
✓ SpectacularThis app is by far the best magazine reading experience I've had so far on the iPad. It's the little things that make the difference. The fact articles are effectively all on the same page. The fact that layout and even ads are presented in different ways depending on whether you're reading in portrait or landscape. The seamless integration of dynamic content. It feels like the iPad was designed for this app. Absolutely spectacular!.Version: 1.0
✓ Good magazine appGood intuitive design. Works well..Version: 4.1
✓ Beautiful appI 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..Version: 3.0
✓ Almost perfect.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..Version: 3.5
