  • No more zoom capability - It’s back again!

    I love the magazine but not able to zoom in on pictures anymore makes one miss important details. Being able to zoom allowed to look into small details, which are as important as the big picture, sometimes more as they all together make the big picture. I wish they would bring it back. I asked and was told most likely not; so sad.

    Update 2/2/20:

    They brought the zoom in function back, which is great. The magazine still has some minor glitches, especially when swiping pages or the occasional mistake of having the incorrect footnote, however, the content is always great.
    I love this magazine and will continue to get it.

  • Totally useless app

    What happened? A perfectly fine way to read AD was made essentially useless by redesign. Without a text zoom feature, you can no longer read the text on an iPad. Without the picture zoom feature, you can no longer see details in photos up close. If you can’t read the type and can’t enlarge the pictures, what good is this app? Very disappointed with this. I will stop reading until a fix is made.

    The recent necessary fix to this app completely made it useful and loved again. Thank you for paying attention to your faithful readers...much appreciated!

  • The new style is not fun

    Why did you have to change the fabulous format of the digital magazine?
    The new format is old, boring and one cannot amplify the pictures with two fingers, in fact, they took off that feature, leaving little pictures and a “demodé “ look. We are in the 21st Century, the old format was more high tech than this boring format. Let us have our magazine back to play with!

  • AD no longer a pleasure to read on ipad

    Worsening format changes make AD harder and harder to read/enjoy. Dense, tiny text that cannot be enlarged fills pages, photos are smaller, pages more crowded w/ a cluttered look. This used to be one of the view magazines that was more enjoyable in digital form. No more. I thought Anna Wintour had creative input here. Please fix this Anna! AD demographic are mostly the reading glasses set anyway. So are ipad users!

  • Shocking new version

    This version is terrible. You can only look at it in portrait on iPad. Not seeing both pages. Small fonts and you can not enlarge. Photos cannot be enlarged so often missing details. I am now reading it with my printed version instead of electronic. Absolutely useless and when is the next update?
  • New version of app is Worthless

    Unless AD quickly upgrades their new app I'll be a past-subscriber. Not only can I not read the new months magazine, but SEVEN years of digital issues are worthless to me.
  • New app just shockingly terrible

    The new version breaks nearly everything. You can’t expand text or zoom into pictures anymore. The index is NOT HYPERLINKED now either, and the page numbers in the index DON’T MATCH THE PAGE NUMBERS. So, the index says 110, but you can’t jump there. You have to bring up the list of pages and scroll to page 110, but that is actually shown as page 108. If you go further, the discrepancy increases. It’s actually the worse magazine reader I’ve ever used, and for the last few years was one of the best. Crazy how lame it is, you have to really work at it to make it this bad.

  • Almost impossible to read

    The new version of the app provides no facility to magnify or change the text size, nor does it support the IOS dynamic text size. The text is too small to read comfortably. A huge step back and a real disappointment.
  • No Landscape mode on an iPad??

    No obvious way to flip the subscription to landscape mode on an iPad. If there is, it’s not conspicuous. Absolutely not an issue with Wallpaper*, Dwell, etc.

    Ridiculous considering most iPad users I know are hooked in with an iPad Pro w/keyboard. Please, please fix and/or let us know how we can turn this app around.

  • Agreed can not turn off autosubscribe

    I will never sign up for another AD subscription again!

    AD will not cancel the subscription and their solution of logging into the app and turning off the auto subscribe does not work!
