Not an enjoyable experience
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.
Great quality; lots of ads
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
Can never sign in
Have been continuous subscriber Almost every month I have great difficulty or simply cannot sign in to digital version
Doesn’t actually download issues
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.

Makes me resign in constantly, no option for full screen
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

Always inspiring
Who needs a vision board when you have Architectural Digest?
Please full screen it
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!

Paid for digital all access subscription cannot access site
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.
Lovely
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.

A must read for Design professionals
Wonderful photography of the current design trends.
Doesn’t connect to subscription
No matter what I try!
Paywall despite subscription
I signed up for a print + digital access subscription and signed into the app with that info. That worked for a day or two and now I get a paywall on every issue of the magazine, even the ones it let me access previously. When I try to relink my subscription it says that it can’t be found even though I have 11 months left.

The “digital” subscription doesn’t include the App.
This is a joke, yes? The digital subscription type does not allow you to use the app. Because that would make no sense! 100% regret this service.

Fantastic
AD is one of the best magazine on the market.
It is never boring and always makes sure you can’t wait to turn the page.
Continue doing what you’re doing and always keep your readers looking for the next issue.

Cancelling membership overly complicated and inappropriate charges
They intentionally make it difficult to cancel your membership. I had to email customer support to get step by step instructions. When I finally cancelled they continued to charge me and would not refund me for the month I had cancelled.
Only for subscription through Apple Store
Used to use this app a couple of years ago and loved the layout & functionality. Just renewed my subscription directly through AD, but the app will not recognize my new subscription account. The “Link print subscription” option only displays my old expired subscriptions. AD’s tech support can’t do anything about the issue….

$7.99 monthly cost?
I love the digital magazine. My only concern is that my I-phone app does not advise of the cost in the app description. Only AFTER I downloaded it was I informed of a $7.99 monthly cost. Hidden costs like this take up space on my I phone!
Why can’t I click on and expand photos on AD iPad App?
I am a paid subscriber and can no longer appear to click on and expand photos displayed in the AD app on an iPad Pro, which is HIGHLY ANNOYING!
Especially since so many photos are otherwise tiny or quite small and can’t be clearly seen at their displayed size.
Whichever genius at AD decided this was a good idea, or is oblivious to this fact, should re-examine their career choice, and get up-to-date on current user design standards.
Also - AD is getting ever smaller in terms of both content and advertising. Seems like a shell of its former self.

Won’t link to print edition
As others have stated, this still won’t link to your print edition. Many people have reported this and they do nothing. Very frustrating.
