### 3/5 — It cool, but

*2025-04-25*

The app doesn’t fully load in landscape mode. Also there should be a feature that allows you to bookmark a page.

### 2/5 — Simple disappointed!

*2018-10-26*

It would be great to supply a user guild.  I found it hard to use

### 3/5 — Can’t swipe

*2018-03-22*

The latest update that was supposed to enhance the users swipe experience has cause an inability to swipe 😥

### 1/5 — Updates make it worse

*2018-01-19*

I don’t understand what’s going on - the app now has a boarders around the pages that I can’t get rid of (hi, I don’t need to see the tool bar all the time, thanks) and scrolling through each page creates a lag.

Overall, it’s just distracting and makes me want to wait for the printed copy. I’m not sure who advocated for this, but it’s disappointing.

### 1/5 — Do not purchase it!

*2017-10-28*

My digital page I wasn’t able to open at all for error and they renew automatically as you know.
It’s hard to get in count at w them, also I finally cancel via email and went to their website remembered id and password and all, however I received an email again a week later saying it will be automatically renew!! 
I just got off the phone w their rep, said it was only cancel paper(mail) and digital was still under subscription.
NEVER AGAIN! 
Plus half of pages are commercial.. not much to read..

### 1/5 — Do not use or purchase

*2017-10-06*

Since the switch to the MAZ platform the customer experience is horrible. Providing feedback to the editor and app provided had zero results. You pay for a magazine subscription and hope to see the full page instead of nag bars on top and bottom. You also continuously jump from the magazine to yet another ad in the browser.

### 1/5 — "New sleek style & design updates" totally killed user experience

*2017-08-12*

I dont know what compelled them to change everything but this "new sleek design and style update" did not take the basics of user experience into consideration. As a result, i am bombarded with an annoying interface that wont disappear which is really distracting from reading ACTUAL contents of the magazine. The scrolling within each page is already confusing enough. 
I'd give 0 stars for the app that decides to put priority in copying Net-a-Porter instead of paying attention to the purpose of a magazine. But i cant give 0, so here's 1 undeserved star instead. 
Sincerely, a no longer loyal fan (who will soon unsubscribe) 👎

### 2/5 — Harper's Bazaar app

*2016-02-13, version 5.1.3*

I want to like this but the process of transferring to digital was strenuous. Then to confuse matters another app acted as if they were the Harper's access and I downloaded that one to find they didn't know I already had a subscription. There is so much print content in the magazine that it is difficult to read and enjoy on my iPad. I have felt guilty for a long time over the use of so much paper in the print editions of magazines so I probably will continue a digital subscription but much of the fantasy and pleasure is lost. Will I be able to archive ideas and images from the magazine any more?  That will be a great loss to me.

### 1/5 — what happen to the app?

*2016-01-27, version 5.1.2*

your app doesn't seem to work, disappointed big time

### 1/5 — Nothing but advertisements

*2015-10-07, version 5.1.0*

Ads are a necessity for fashion mag but surely that amount featured in HB is ridiculous. I subscribed to an issue, downloaded and spent the first 20 minutes looking at advertisements and nothing else.

### 1/5 — Constantly logs me out

*2026-01-03, version 26.0*

I pay for a subscription for a year but it won't leave me logged in for long enough for me to read tbe goddamn magazine. I can also only log in through my payment confirmation email and not with an account so I couldn't figure out for months how to access the magazine I paid an annual subscription for. Hate this app, cant access the content I paid for. 0/10 do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Never able to sign in.

*2025-04-26*

Bought subscription, downloaded, app said my account didn't exist. Help desk said wait 2 weeks. Waited more, still not able to sign in. Went thru the help desks ("have you tried redownloding?" lol yes) that ended with them saying - oh well, sorry. Conde Nast doesn't seem that dedicated to saving itself, this is beyond basic. Cancelling whole subscription.

### 1/5 — APP goes in and out

*2024-11-18*

App doesn’t work well. Goes in and out. Pages come up blank.

### 1/5 — A complete mess!

*2023-10-31, version 23.0*

You subscribe create an account with email and password then you get to have to enter your email and zip code?? Which of course cannot be found because I never have my zip code on the first place! And round and round and round we go!

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2023-07-31*

The pages advance with jarring flashing and page jumping. Unable to read more than a page or two. Can this be fixed? New Apple iPad… always keep updated.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-04-27*

The application doesn’t always update with new issues and customer service is of no help and slow to respond.

### 1/5 — Terrible service

*2021-04-26*

I have an online subscription and have had for quite a while.  For some reason, I can’t get the April, 2021 issue.  My subscription isn’t up.  I reached out by email over ten days ago to Bazaar customer support and haven’t head anything.  I am going to try to call tomorrow if I can find a telephone number.

### 1/5 — Access Problems

*2021-04-13*

This app stop downloading magazines twice. The second time was a couple months after I paid for a new subscription.  The publisher had no record of my subscription and the app developer has no ability to address a subscription issue and Apple has nothing to do with this App so I’ve paid some unknown entity for an annual subscription and only got 3 months of magazines with no way of getting a refund.  Don’t know if others have this issue but You might consider choosing another method than this app for a subscription.

### 1/5 — Dysfunctional site

*2020-05-17*

No wonder your magazine is dying. The app doesn’t work. No customer service. Canceling my online subscription. However the app doesn’t allow me to do so. I’ll just have to refuse the credit card charge. Shape up or ship out. Bye!

### 1/5 — Bad Issue

*2019-01-03*

Too many ads all for big chunky jewelry that no one wears.

### 5/5 — ... better than chocolate cake … and ice cream … and strawberry smoothie …

*2022-07-25*

In case you haven’t noticed, yes, this is my favorite fashion magazine.  I am also subscribed to two other fashion magazines, but neither of them make me as happy as Harper’s Bazaar.  Every month I impatiently await the next issue.  Hooray to the pretty pictures!!!
If I had to change anything, I would have added at least another issue per month making the magazine a biweekly periodical.

### 5/5 — Harper’s Bazaar
