### 2/5 — No zoom, really?

*2023-10-28*

The second most spontaneous gesture on touch screens is probably pinch and zoom (after touching itself) and, believe you or not, this app does not allow you to do that! Now imagine trying to browse through your favorite decor magazine on your phone… It sounds as unbelievable as it is dumb. Just correct it!

### 3/5 — Slow and expensive- online should be cheaper

*2021-02-14*

Online should be much cheaper;

### 2/5 — Why is there still no landscape view?

*2019-01-01*

Come on, you’re a magazine, there should be a functional landscape view.  
I love your content though. The 2 stars is for the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!

*2017-05-13*

Won't download even with storage, wifi and battery! I have been charged too.

### 1/5 — Dated interface

*2017-01-16*

While this is one of my favorite interiors publications the app is severely lacking when compared to other magazine apps. There is no interactivity and I find it slow compared to others. And don't forget your password! Unlike every other app out there that requires a password, this one has no way for you to reset yours if you forget it. Time for a serious upgrade.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-01-10*

Crashes and unreliable - stick with the print edition.

### 1/5 — Decepcionante...

*2016-12-27*

Ao atualizar o aplicativo eu não posso mais visualizar os números anteriores a doze meses, pelos os quais eu ja havia pago... Sinto que fui roubada... Faço coleções de revistas ha anos e isso é um precedente terrível para assinaturas on line... Como assim? Sem avisarem nada, só pediram para atualizar e somem com as revistas? Atordoante, decepcionante, péssima experiência ...quero minhas revistas de volta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — I've been robbed of time and money

*2016-12-11*

The functionality of the new app may be Ok, but I wouldn't know because I'm still reeling from the fact that I just spent the last hour trying to access my subscription after the icon disappeared from my Newsstand. No instructions there, in iTunes, or in the email confirming my subscription. And the instructions in the app itself, which I had to download after having used Newsstand for years, are incorrect.

On top of that, none of my older issues are available. I paid for those. How is this acceptable? I want my money back for my 2015 subscription, and I will certainly not be renewing in 2017.

### 1/5 — Annoying app upgrade

*2016-12-03*

Dissapointing realization that all of my saved issues which are more than 12 month old are no longer available due to app upgrade!!!
How did you think that people would not need their already paid magazines???!!!
Compensation is a minimum

### 1/5 — Awful

*2016-11-02, version 6.0*

DO NOT upgrade! This app is now terrible. I lost all my paid issues, about 20, even the January 2014 one. The FAQ are useless, it DOES NOT work. Info send me back to FAQ.

TERRIBLE DO NOT UPGRADE! Lost all issues, not a subscriber but purchased many issues. Lost even the October 2016 I just purchased! Restoring issues only available for subscribers!

### 1/5 — 구매내역 삭제 부탁해요!

*2016-06-30*

구매내역 삭제 부탁해요!

### 1/5 — Back to front

*2016-05-11, version 4.0.20*

Please review your app. The content is now back to front. Appalling. Where are your testers?

### 1/5 — 不能用

*2025-05-24*

付款后内容还是打不开，不知道怎么办了，钱也退不了

### 1/5 — Nag nag nag endless spam

*2024-03-13*

I would very much like it if Hearst could stop sending me emails about this app. There’s no way to unsubscribe and I think the only way to stop them spamming me about it is to end my magazine subscription. Please just stop, it’s very annoying.

### 1/5 — Warning - loss of past issues purchased

*2024-01-26*

This is to advise any subscriber that if subscription is allowed to lapse, you will be locked out of your account and lose access to all past purchases.  If you are subscribing as directed by Elle Decor UK, through Apple, Elle Decor UK will not provide assistance. All past issues will not be able to be accessed through one's app and account unless one re-subscribes. This was not always the case; one could previously access past issues purchased over the years through one's account on the app. For long-time subscribers, this is a considerable loss of funds invested, and Elle Decor UK customer service seems not able to comprehend the problem, nor seems willing to investigate, nor is interested in honouring former subscriber's purchases. Declined to renew due to Elle Decor UK's poor service.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-05-23*

DO NOT upgrade! This app is now terrible. I lost all my paid issues, plus special and supplements. The same happened to me eight years ago after an update.

### 1/5 — Crashed all the time,

*2021-07-22*

It was OK, not now anymore. Crashed all the time. Waste time and money

### 1/5 — Crashes most of the time

*2021-05-25*

Developers need to fix the constant crashing. Have yet to read through 1 article without experience a couple of app crashes (This happens on both my iPhone & IPad Pro).

### 1/5 — Avoid this excuse for an app.

*2017-12-14*

This app is clearly appalling. Lost my purchased copies when the app ‘upgraded’. They won’t restore.

### 1/5 — Not able to reload my subscription

*2017-10-11*

Would never do this digital version again.

### 1/5 — Mac  호환 필요

*2017-09-23*

노트북/데스크탑에서도 호환되면 좋겠어요.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2017-06-03*

I have to log out and log in for every issue. Favourites won't appear on phone app if saved from iPad app.

### 5/5 — 3,50€ vs 16,97€

*2017-03-04*

*2019-11-07*

A really good app but a shame the developers haven’t done anything about the gaps in the middle of double page images.
