  • Who's reading this magazine on their iPad? Not the folks who updated this app

    This "upgrade" of the magazine app is a travesty for readers. Obviously not designed by someone who reads the actual magazine. Cropping the pages to partial page size, taking away the keeping of your place while mid-read of an article or edition are just a few of the ridiculous "upgrades". I can't always finish an article, now I have to remember which months edition I'm on and then search for the article and then finally find my page. Seriously??? Bring back the previous version of this app. You are making me completely regret my "paperless" subscription to this magazine that I've loved for 30 years.

  • I am only rating the app, not the publication

    I 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.

  • 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...

  • No landscape view

    There's no landscape view on the new version of the app. Many paying customers (subscribers) have written with the same complaint and requesting a fix but VF has ignored the comments -- other than being just plain rude, lack of customer service is definitely cause to cancel subscription. I used to devour VF's new editions cover to cover when I was able to read in horizontal view and I loved eagerly awaiting the next edition. Now, I get more and more frustrated as I turn the page, quickly reach my boiling point of annoyance, and have to close the mag. Now that I'm behind on reading the editions, might as well cancel the subscription, stop paying for frustration and blatant lack of customer service, and just borrow the copy from others. Major FAIL by VF.

  • Log In Problems

    As 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 !

  • Doesn’t work with iPad Mini 3

    I love the magazine and really enjoyed reading the digital version on my old iPad 3. I recently got a new iPad Mini 3 to use on my daily commute. But for some reason I cannot sign into my account on the Mini. I keep getting an error message (“authentication error”). I can sign into my account on my old iPad without any problems and have tried multiple times to get help from Vanity Fair’s support team with the problem with the Mini. But nothing seems to work. Since I can sign into my account on their web site and my old iPad, the problem seems to be a bug specific to the iPad Mini. If you have a Mini don’t bother with this app. It won’t work.

  • Beautiful experience

    It navigates like thumbing through a print mag. Pictures in the Table of Contents, captions you can turn on and off, plus the assurance you are receiving all of the content combine to provide the reader with the choice to read a little or read in depth at any time. I never think about the app, it just feels like I'm reading Vanity Fair. This is the standard Conde Nast uses for all its mags and it works well.

  • 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.)

  • Excellent content, easy to use, great digital extras

    When 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.

  • Customer service NONEXISTENT

    After paying for a full years subscription I looked at the first issue and then was unable to access any further editions. After three attempts at contact with their "customer service" and no resolution I was forced to contact Apple who worked diligently to try and rectify the situation but was unable to do anything but refund my money. In future I won't worry about global warming, killing trees necessarily and all that jazz and I will buy my stuff at the news stand the old fashioned way. As for this app and anything Conde Nast related I wont bother.

    Frustrated and Disappointed
    No stars but you can't submit with out at least one, so one star for Irritation, Frustration and Disappointment
