### 1/5 — Not an enjoyable experience

*2026-06-21*

I’m a subscriber, so why does it always ask m to purchase the issue ? Ok, I’m asked to sign in every time .. but why whenever I launch the app it ask me to subscribe? When I sign in , it either opens or freeze… so I close it and move to something else because I just lose interest.

### 4/5 — Great quality; lots of ads

*2026-06-05, version 6.0*

The content is high quality and varied, app is easy to navigate. However a bit repetitive if you consume their other media forms such as YouTube and Instagram. Also I notice most of the pages are ads, I don’t want to pay a subscription to see the same Miele ad in 3 consecutive issues

### 2/5 — Can never sign in

*2026-05-23*

Have been continuous subscriber   Almost every month I have great difficulty or simply cannot sign in to digital version

### 2/5 — Doesn’t actually download issues

*2026-05-21*

When you’re offline and you try to read issues you’ve downloaded (you can tell because they have a checkmark next to the title), the pages are blank and you get a message that you won’t be able to read it without network access. What, then, was the point of downloading the issue? This is on an iPad mini, latest generation, latest iOS.

### 2/5 — Makes me resign in constantly, no option for full screen

*2026-04-22*

This app used to be way better. It constantly boots me out, and when I go to sign in, it has a “continue” button that doesn’t make me sign in, so why the boot? Also it used to let you go full screen without the menu bar always present, and now there’s no option for that. It’s a lot less immersive that way. Also wish there was a way to max out the picture quality, some still appear blurry. Good content though

### 5/5 — Always inspiring

*2026-03-11*

Who needs a vision board when you have Architectural Digest?

### 2/5 — Please full screen it

*2025-10-09, version 5.9*

Really weird this app won’t let me do away with the menu bar and black out the margins around the magazine page. It used to let you do that, and I also feel the images used to be much higher quality (can notice a distinct fuzziness or blur on many while browsing). If there’s a setting I’m missing, I’m all ears!

### 1/5 — Paid for digital all access subscription cannot access site

*2025-03-31*

Whenever I try to sign in on the site to download an issue, I am told I have no account and offered a new subscription. I have the invoice from my paid subscription just three months ago —very frustrating.

### 4/5 — Lovely

*2025-02-18*

This publication is sophisticated.  It does a splendid job of curating and inspiring interior design ideas and related designers. Adding to all of this are celebrities.  Yes, AD features their homes too.  The results? Sublimely elegant content.  Why a 4 Star rating?  I would love to see more industrial design.  I would also interviews with overlooked industrial architects — especially young and overlooked ones.

### 5/5 — A must read for Design professionals

*2025-01-12*

Wonderful photography of the current design trends.
