Wobbly and unstable as ever on iPad Mini
V disappointed that the long expected upgrade is again, at least on first use, all but unusable. Pages disappear or keep reloading... a nightmare.
Unusable
Even after the most recent update, this app still struggles to function. Many articles disappear in the middle of reading them, leaving you with a blank white screen. Hyperlinks lead to nowhere. Everything is incredibly slow, and pages constantly reformat as you’re trying to read. The list goes on.
Coming from the premier source of entertainment news, I’m surprised how terrible this app is. Please get it together, Variety. You have the content you just need a usable interface!

So Disappointed
I’ve rarely been so let down by an app redesign. Variety used to be the only news app that properly functioned for offline reading - once refreshed the latest news downloaded automatically, everything would load. Now nothing is automatic and stories take forever to load. It’s now a worse version of every other junky news app. So sad to see an essential part of my commute gone.

Not a fan of the new format
Always loved the Variety app but not a fan of the new look/format. Used to be able to see snapshots of 10 or so top stories and now, with larger previews, you can only see 1 or 2 when you first open the app. Much more difficult to get a quick look at stories and decide which ones you want to read more about.

Totally ruined a great app...???? It’s awful, slow with no quick overview in context
Awful, awful, terrible, why totally ruin a very good app? Slow, no quick overview of the stories, now no tv, film and other segments.. so why use this now???
Major backward step for an icon.

It works for reading the articles. That’s about it.
The main attraction of the Variety app is to be able to read Variety. And that works just fine.
But nothing else works. You can’t share, videos never work, photos rarely load, and the galleries tab has never worked. Every time I click it..the apps crashes and goes back to my home screen.
Also...they should bring back comment sections.

Poorly done
This app needs a complete redo. I can’t believe they decided this was a good setup. There is no search option. There is absolutely no way for subscribers to view the magazine digitally on the app like you can with literally any other magazine out there. I don’t find this app user friendly whatsoever. PLEASE update it!

Dumb!
Hate this. Can't access my premier subscription, keeps crashing and no features to search or filter through the news. I just want to access my premier subscription via the app.
App needs lots of work
This app needs lots of work, I’ll start with the fact that if you try to share a story to Facebook or Twitter, it takes you to a page that tells you to download them and there is no way yo tell it you already have them. I see this a lot on apps on the iPhone. Frankly it’s just plain stupid to not have the app go straight to the Facebook or Twitter app and Apple should be enforcing this.

Needs Features!!
Can’t understand why this app doesn’t have a search window so you can look up names and older articles. There’s also no way of accessing your account info if you’re a Variety subscriber. Please update this!!
