Therefore I have deleted the app from my iPad and will look for printed copies again. ### 3/5 — Good publication but photo quality is grainy at best on iPad *2018-09-29* As above ### 4/5 — Good *2018-04-05* But could be better! Request one is to provide full screen view - magazine only, not the red toolbar all the time. ### 2/5 — Content good delivery poor *2017-10-04* Decent magazine but why does the digital version arrive a week later than the paper magazine arrives in newsagents? And when will the Big Black Book arrive at all? ### 4/5 — App needs some work *2017-05-28* Images are over compressed, top menu bar is always showing on top of content, oh and I have to log out every month to then re log in to get my subscription to work. For a style magazine this isn't a very stylish app. ### 4/5 — A great read *2017-01-06* I discovered Esquire magazine on December 2009. It was Christmas and somehow the family had forgotten all about me. They had also forgotten about a bottle of whiskey that was close by and I gotta say, this is the most decadent and relaxing read (and drink) I can ever recall. Since that day I have always looked at Esquire with a 'not to be mentioned outside of Vegas' attitude, and with a sparkle in my eye. I still regularly read it, and I have no problem with the magazine in digital or hard copy form. So, Esquire Christmas 2009 - a man moment to always remember ### 1/5 — Missing issues I paid for *2016-11-18* My app disappeared, reloaded, restored purchases and nothing. Andd it has some nonsense about an upgrade and only 12 months available. I paid for those. I want all my money back ### 3/5 — Reading on iPhone *2016-11-07, version 6.0* Content is still great, but new version makes reading extremely hard. Zooming in with double tap doesn't work on iPhone, and pinch zoom cuts words in half if you zoom over their boundary. Much preferred reading on the old version. ### 4/5 — Missing Issues *2016-11-05* I subscribed to this magazine earlier this year and shortly after my subscription finished I was unable to re download my issues, love the magazine but disappointed that I can't get back my issues ### 1/5 — Update wipes all previous purchased😫😫😫😫😮 *2016-11-05, version 6.0* New app wiped all previously downloaded issues over the past couple of years with no chance to re download them. Plus the old app did not have the article archive feature so I have lost all my favourite old articles. Presumably Esquire will be refunding us? ### 1/5 — Do not download; misleading re existing purchases *2016-11-02, version 6.0* Will be cancelling my subscription. The latest app update will not let you re-download any purchased issues over 12 months old, despite the claim that the update doesn't affect any purchases made on the update section of the App Store. Misleading and disingenuous update. ### 1/5 — No past issues older than 12 months *2016-11-02, version 6.0* New app takes away all the issues I have bought in the past. So I have spent money to purchase Esquire magazine over the past few years and now find out I spent the money for nothing. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Where are my old issues? *2016-11-02, version 6.0* This is the second time you do a major upgrade to the app and completely disregard the users needs to save old issues. The same thing happened the last time, you completely deleted all the issues that were older than six months.why would you do that if I paid for them? Where are they and how can I get them back? It is very disturbing that you unilaterally decided to delete or keep issues of your choice. The first time I asked for credit and you gave me a very convoluted way to request for the credit. It is impossible to do. Please return all my old digital old issues. You can't be trusted to store my previous "purchases" and make them available to me. I paid for them so where are they? ### 1/5 — Subscribed but it still asks to buy issues! *2016-03-20, version 4.0.9* Argh, I can't read what I've just subscribed to. Tried uninstalling, restoring purchases etc but still no good About to cancel subscription and delete the app. What a load of rubbish ### 1/5 — Unusable *2015-09-22, version 4.0.9* Pointless app! Keeps crashing and restarting Iphone6 IOS9 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Is Expired a more apt title than Esquire? *2024-04-25* I bought a subscription to Esquire and then downloaded the app. It says I am signed in to my subscription but when I try to read anything it asks me to buy a subscription! Also a significant number of the articles rely heavily on photos that are ‘no longer available’. I’m assuming that Esquire bought a limited licence for their use which has now expired but the articles are pointless without them. I’m not sure what I’m getting for my money? ### 1/5 — Appalling *2022-05-16* Even after two conversations with customer services, it still wouldn’t let me download my subscription without a new charge. Beware customer services will make it difficult to get your money back. ### 1/5 — Crashing App!! *2021-05-30* Although the content of the digital version has excellent features, the app itself crashes every 30 seconds or so. I have to open it up several time while viewing content or attempting to read an article. I’m not sure if I should delete the app and try again or something else. Your instructions on this matter will be highly appreciated… ### 1/5 — Disgraceful *2017-12-15* So many problems with this app. Orientation works poorly, can’t zoom in, need to log out and log back in every month for it to recognise my subscription, and worst of all it’s compressed to the hilt so text and images are grainy. Horrific. Won’t be renewing. ### 1/5 — App problems *2017-04-18* The app stopped working 3 months into my subscription. Hearst couldn't help me as I bought it via iTunes and they cannot access my details. Apple support couldn't help me as its's a third party app. They offered to cancel and refund, then 30 seconds later said they couldn't as the subscription was too old. (They sent me 3 credits for 3 film rentals instead, which is a nice gesture, but not really what I wanted). Shame, I really liked the magazine as well. ### 1/5 — I gave up *2017-03-05, version 6.0* A combination of the recent undesirable app update, the cancellation of my app and print subscription by Hearst and the 'couldn't care less' attitude of their helpline has led me to just give up. It's not a bad read but it certainly isn't worth the hassle. ### 1/5 — New Releases Missing *2017-02-11, version 6.0* Neither the Feb or March versions have loaded. They're just not showing as an option to download. I've re-installed the app and still nothing. Not a lot was spent so not bothered really, but poor show Hearst! ### 1/5 — 구매내역삭제요청 *2017-02-11* 구매내역삭제요청 부탁드립니다 ### 1/5 — Disgraceful! *2017-01-13, version 6.0* It's appalling that with your update you stole from us what we previously paid for. Is that what you think of us? Until you rectify your mistake I will never buy a magazine from you again, online or off the shelf. Shame on you! ### 1/5 — Paid for issues aren't available *2017-01-01* I've been a subscriber for years. I have lost all but the 2016 issues. Their response is that they are no longer available after the app upgrade. This is NOT acceptable. I paid for them and I want them back. They should make them available to subscribers as a PDF download or in a stand alone archive app at the very least if they can't bother to figure out how to make them available in app (which every other app manages to do after an upgrade). They have no appreciation for their subscribers. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2025-05-20* I love esquire as simple as that informative stylist and totally fashionable ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2023-08-27, version 6.11* I love esquire as simple as that . ### 5/5 — Esquire App *2017-06-15* Great app from a great magazine. ### 5/5 — It's called theft *2016-11-05, version 6.0* With this new upgrade I have lost years of magazines, which I have paid for, all gone. Just so the home page looks different. As far as I'm concerned it's theft and they should refund our money, as we never gave our permission for the magazines to be removed. I will cancel my subscription they won't get another penny out of me. Don't waste your money purchasing from this app. Anthony .. very unhappy. ### 5/5 — 구매내역 삭제 부탁드려요~ *2016-05-19* 구매내역 삭제 부탁드려요~ ### 5/5 — 구매목록 삭제요청! *2014-08-25* 구매목록 삭제요청! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-06-05, version 4.51* Even if you read the monthly, Esquire Weekly offers great additional content. No glitches, seamless interactivity and looks the part. A bargain too! ### 5/5 — Great! *2014-06-04, version 4.51* Great app! Always has great articles week in week out and I always find out something cool or interesting! Would fully recommend! ### 5/5 — NJPD2011 *2014-06-04, version 4.51* Great service can't fault it. ### 5/5 — Great for keeping up on the go *2014-06-04* I use the app on both my iPhone and iPad - I prefer it on iPad for the full effect of the great interactive graphics. The phone app is good for quick reading on the go. Easy to install, just as easy to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
