App Is No Longer Supported!

Just as a warning to everyone, this app is apparently no longer supported by the company! Not sure why they haven’t taken it off the App Store, but DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!

Fraud. Stole Money.

App makes you pay then doesn’t allow you to use the app. Called Adweek and they said they don’t know of an app. Useless

Disappointed

On Adweek’s website there’s a pop-up to download the app. What a major disappointment, this app is horrible compared to the web version. I’ll stick with Safari, thanks.

Nice

I noticed that you guys were planning the same!

I can’t believe this is real

Either Adweek hasn’t released a new issue in 2 months or the app isn’t updated. It shows you articles on the website instead of an article in the app. But the kicker is that it asks you to log in to the website even when you’re already logged into the app. And the cherry on top is that the website (which you’re viewing in the app) suggests that you open the article in the app. You can’t make this up.

IPad Issue

The CX lags on the digital edition. Very difficult to get current issues.
Customer service does not respond to address this problem.

This app is broken

The App doesn’t recognize my Adweek subscription. Continues to claim that it’s not valid.

Customer Service only tells me the steps on how to log in. And when they don’t have a solution, they tell me that to talk to “iTunes.”

Wow quite possibly the worst app experience ever. 🥵

Horrible.
Just horrible. Just paid for a license. Says I am logged in the app. Trying to read an article and it says needs subscription. What is going on?

Desperately needs an overhaul

Need a new Dev team. This app is a hodge podge between a dated magazine-style version that does not properly accept logins, and a browser view into their website. Very poor experience that desperately needs to be updated to current app standards.

It’s hard to access and hard to share

I’m logged in and a subscriber… the easiest way to actually read it on the go is in TINY PDF format which still has share buttons - that only share links to the app…

I expect more from a digital magazine trying to reach marketers.

Absolutely awful

This app needs to be removed from the App Store. It’s terribly designed and ineffectual at best and flat out fraud at worst. You can pay for a subscription but it still locks you out of content. You click on an article and it takes you to the safari version of the article where it asks you to login again. And then it says you don’t have access again anyway.

Terrible first experience

I’ve been going in circles trying to read content after paying a subscription fee. Apparently 9.99 a month doesn’t get you access to everything. Wouldn’t recommend this app experience.

Terrible Mobile App Experience

The UX has to be incredibly poor, and to have happened multiple times, for me to have to write this negative review. The mobile app is absolutely useless when you have a premium subscription. Every time you reopen the app, it would prompt you to sign in again to access premium articles. But when you do sign-in, it would then link you to the browser reader…then why in the world bother with a mobile app??? Every time you want to use the app, you will need to sign in again and again. On the fence on whether to renew my subscription, since I do most of my reading on mobile - so a mobile app would greatly improve that experience. Looks like this has been an ongoing issue based on reviews from over a year ago. Disappointed that this bug has yet to be prioritized.

The AD app is so easy to navigate and UX is ideal and mobile friendly

Content still locked even after expensive subscription

Waste of $150 - content still locked

Blocked

I have purchased a subscription but the app is ineffectual, it’s not allowing me in.

Why can’t I read any featured issues?

Just paid $10 for what?

Love the app, but...

It seems like I’m logging in every time I click an article. Is there a way to fix this so I’m always logged in?

Should be considered fraud and removed

Subscribing through the App Store isn’t recognized by the app. App tries to force you to subscribe again and pay more. The app is a browser within a browser and not a real app. It is absolutely awful and a complete farce. I called their help line, they said to cancel the subscription and subscribe directly with Adweek.

App needs work

Love Adweek and its articles but the app is seriously lacking. I don’t enjoy having to log in each time I want to read an article. The app needs an upgrade
