Widget suggestion

I live the app and the articles, however it would be nice to have widgets with the articles so you could just click and open the app. That would help to make sure you did not miss anything new.

Why do I have to log in every time I open the app?

Why do I have to log in every time I open the app?

I can’t see the main page

Well I logged in however it doesn’t allow me to read anything

Not updated in a long time

It’s impossible to share an article on an iphone 15, you just can’t tap on the arrow icon.

Poor usability

Can’t go back once I open an article. Share button barely works. Tap zones need adjustment for new devices and new OS.

Unable to use app as promised

I had to downgrade to a student membership, as I cannot afford All-Access. Though the student membership promises the ability to use the app, the app says I must upgrade in order to log in. It’s all very confusing. Before downgrading, I was able to use the app, and it worked well. That is why I’m giving it two stars.

Not good

1) The app doesn’t have all features which you can use on the laptop;
2) I didn't get the level of service I expected for the money I paid. They cancelled the course which I wanted to finish, but haven’t been able to do that. There was no notifications about that!
3) Additionally to that, the customer service is horrible - they never reply your emails. On Trustpilot I found many complains about that.

To sum up, following my experience with BoF
I wouldn’t recommend this website and their app

Please add a “fave” or “save” button

There are a lot of interesting articles that I wish I could save on my account so I could revisit later, I can save them on my browser but since there is an app that would be very convenient and easier to check out

Cannot View Anything

My memberships specifically mentions included access to this app, yet when I log in, it says I need to upgrade my membership.

App doesn’t include all articles

As someone who reads the BoF emails, it’s frustrating to find that you can’t search and find all articles through the app and instead have to click through email links to a browser. Additionally, there is no ability in the latest app to save articles, which was a big draw for me in previous app versions. Lastly, why doesn’t BoF careers exist within the same app?

Total disappointment

I just registered to their RSS feed and found out that most of the new articles are not showing on the app, unless I copy paste the link on Safari and then let it redirect me to the app. The home page simply doesn’t list them, nor any other article categories. Plus, most of the new articles listed on the RSS ferd do not require a subscription at all: why am I paying for? Finally, there is no dark mode and the app is often blinding. All that is very upsetting. This is the last time I renew this (incredibly expensive) subscription. If you’re a professional like me, you can save the money and find better (and cheaper) options.

Notifications

Where do I find the Notification Center in the app? I always have these notifications and can’t see where they are

Articles can hardly be openend

This app is lousy. It is impossible to open “china decoded” articles. The app itself reacts slow and you constantly have to refresh manually to see new content. Cashing in hundreds of EUR for a membership and offering such a lousy app will make me skipping BoF next year. 🤬

Irrelevant App

Users can not search the course in app and hence can not bookmark. Course and article links open in browser instead of app. What is the point basically of having an app that you can not use to read curated content!

Professional fashion news app!

Although the price for member is high, the quality of each article is very high! I have learned so much from this app.

Excellent source of information, but...

BOF its a great source but the app user experience is missing full size reading mode. It will be easier to navigate and read the articles in the future. Thanks BOF

Paying customers only

I have the free BOF membership, which allows me to read select articles via web. I can’t access ANY articles from the app with this membership. Super disappointing. Don’t even bother unless you have the advanced membership.

Authentication needed?!

Can easily log in on a web browser but the app doesnt work for me!

App does not work for some reason

I have tried numerous times to try and log in to this apparently on my phone and iPad but it tells me that my information is incorrect! It’s really annoying. I then try and log on to the desktop website and it works fine so I don’t know why I can’t log into the app
I have installed and uninstalled the app a lot to see if that will fix the problem but it doesn’t I’ve even tried changing my password to no avail
I don’t know what else to do

Not working

I have a student account but it’s not letting me log in. It says authentication not verified. Perhaps I need a normal account rather than one through my school.
