Leave a Review Vanity Fair Digital Edition
High quality
I 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 complaintShow lessAleriasBG
Love this app...
Update, January 7: When I get it. Unfortunately, the iPad edition is available at least a week after the print edition has arrived in the mail. What's the point? Currently I have the February issue in my hands, yet it is still not available for download. Why?
--------------------------
When it works. For the past 2-3 days it crashes upon opening. Very frustrating. Seems to happen every time a new issue hits the stands.
Update: read in an earlier post that customer was able to access in Airplane Mode. Tried it out and the app didn't crash. Of course, I received a message that it couldn't download the new issue. Turned AM off and downloaded September. Apparently it works; but this is clearly a bug they need to fix.Show lesspddavis13
Good app, frustrated though
Like the previous guy, I'm wondering why the digital edition isn't out yet when I can see it on news stands. Unlike the guy below me, I'm locked into a subscription. Friends have emailed me articles from the vanity fair website that are part of the upcoming issue. They've put the articles up there before subscribers have received the digital version? This is a great way to show your customers what a complete ripoff your magazine is.
Despite the frustrations, I do have to say that the magazine is a fantastic read on the ipad, great writers, a bit too trendy, and make sure you have a few hundred Meg's of memory lying around, these issues are large.Show lessAsdisjsmsksms
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 :)Show lessAnglophelia
Condé Nasty! They have literally stolen money from me!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP. IT STEALS FROM YOU!
All of my previously purchased issues have disappeared and are not available for download. I paid something like $4.99 per issue and it was several issues. I've lost, or rather, had stolen from me at least $40. I would like to have these purchases restored but when I go to the gear icon in the app and select "restore all purchases" nothing happens. This is unacceptable. If I purchased the issues in paper they would still be with me (albeit taking up a lot of space) but there's no benefit to digital issues if you only get to "rent" the issue for an undetermined amount of time!

Terrific
I would not have thought that the app version would approach the quality of the print version but it does. With easy navigation and extra features I actually appreciate the app version more.Stemcleod
Great App
I'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.Lunch Burger
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.Show lessmarekmk
Better late than never?
I'm a VF subscriber, so it made a lot of sense to get the iPad edition about a year ago. It has a lot of extras and it's a gorgeous format. And they've fixed a lot of the crashing issues, and loading each edition is now automated, which was a big, huge improvement. So I haven't written a review because this was just one extra way of reading the magazine and my expectations were not high. But today I went to a news stand and saw Julia Roberts staring out from the April edition. She has not yet arrived on my iPad. Maybe I've just never noticed this or maybe this month is different, but I feel a little cheated. Why isn't the digital version available the day the paper version hits the stands?Show lessLaeler
Intuitive and a pleasure to use
I 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.Show lessbeatnik411
