### 2/5 — Очень плохо работает, ничего не грузит

*2026-06-05*

Не грузит ничего

### 4/5 — 为什么没有返回键

*2026-05-24*

希望可以更新

### 4/5 — cool but..

*2026-04-27*

Your app is very useful for me personally as an art director. All the shows are collected in one place, which is very convenient. It would be great to see more brands, perhaps some unpopular or informal ones. Please develop it further.

### 3/5 — Alright

*2026-03-17*

Great for a free alternative to Vogue runway, but freezes from time to time while going through runway looks. Also, please remove that god awful vibrating video that plays when you open the app.

### 3/5 — Good but not for larger screens

*2026-02-05*

Happy to have an alternative to look at fashion shows, however, the images do not resize correctly on larger tablet screens so if you click an image it is wide and squished, if they fixed that it would be 5 stars.

### 3/5 — Почти замена vogue

*2026-01-31*

Крутое приложение, но есть 2 момента
1) заставка со звуком, если играет музыка на телефоне, то она прервется
2) для России вход только с впн…

### 4/5 — Favouriting

*2025-12-13*

It just doesn’t work which is upsetting…
Great otherwise

### 3/5 — Great app, but image distortion issue on iPad

*2025-12-08*

Great app for runway shows, thank you!  
But there's a critical usability issue on iPad: when tapping on a look photo, it stretches to fit the screen, distorting the proportions. This makes it impossible to see the actual silhouette, details, or print correctly — which is the whole point of a fashion app.  
Please fix the image scaling to preserve the original aspect ratio when viewing in full screen.  
Otherwise, the app is really useful. Hope to update my rating after a fix!

### 4/5 — bug on ipad

*2025-11-15*

cool app, thanks, but pictures on ipad are compressed. when I open every picture in collection!

### 4/5 — 화질 왜이래요

*2025-10-07*

다 좋은데 사진 화질들이 넘 구려요ㅠ ㅠThe picture quality is not good

### 5/5 — Better than Vogue

*2025-10-01*

MDLA is the best fashion app I've ever downloaded!! The design is way easier to use than the Vogue app and I love that they show you where all the designers worked before 😍

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2025-09-22*

Hi, the app is awesome! Thank you! But there's a bug: when swiping through photos in an album, you can't go back because there's no back button. The only way is to force-close the app. I'm using an iPhone.

### 5/5 — Не прогружается

*2025-09-22*

Приложение классное, но очень лагает, многое не прогружается

### 5/5 — 返回键是下滑图片

*2025-09-15*

拖动图片尝试出来的，看评论区有人没有发现。我比较在意的是大图一点开尺寸就会横向拉宽怎么办

### 5/5 — Free unlike Vogue

*2025-09-11*

Amazing to find an app like vogue runway that doesn’t cost $80 to access public images!!!!

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2025-08-11*

Thank youu so much for this resource. I am a fashion design student wish I knew about this sooner.

### 1/5 — Optimize for iPad

*2025-12-01, version 1.0.8*

Distorted runway photos on my 13 inch air

### 1/5 — Low quality images

*2025-11-14*

Love that it’s a free runway archive but the image quality is just bad. If they get better images it would be great

### 1/5 — 设计不好

*2025-01-31*

没有返回键，真的很难用

### 1/5 — Bug

*2025-01-30*

Por favor melhorem esse app, ele fica travando depois que se passa 5 minutos nele, isso é chato por favor melhorem

### 1/5 — Please no sound

*2025-01-23*

Music/vibration on loading screen encapsulates everything wrong with fashion. Please get rid of this infuriating feature

### 1/5 — Please fix it urgently

*2024-10-25*

As a lover of the fashion world, I am definitely delighted with this application, but there is one big thing, I go into any collection, scroll through and after a minute or two the screen just hangs and does not allow me to scroll either to the right or to the left, please fix it

### 1/5 — 国内不能用，iPad pro

*2023-10-08*

找vogue runway 看到的，没有翻墙，打开只有第一页，后面什么都没有出现一片空白

### 1/5 — Sound on loading screen

*2023-01-05*

Why? Theres enough noise as it is in this universe and I don't need what I'm listening to interrupted by you. Just show me the pretty pictures and keep quiet.

### 2/5 — App not working

*2026-07-07*

App is functional, not loading images and the search doesn’t respond. Done everything installed reinstalled, nothing works

### 2/5 — 加载不出来

*2026-07-06*

前两天还好用的 后面就一直加载不出图片 也点击不了 翻和不翻都试了还是不行

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Отзыв

*2026-07-05*

Для любителей моды самое то! Для жителей России - только с впн вход.

### 5/5 — GREAT

*2026-04-06*

Thank you!!!! For such a simple yet genius and beautiful app. I had another famous app for years but they just didn’t care about user experience. And other apps have limited amounts of collection. And you’re just perfect. So may fashion God bless you in so many ways ♥️

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-03-30*

Such an amazing reference piece! They really do have all the collections that I’ve wanted to check out till date! It’s easy to navigate and find what you need. The profiles on the designers and the houses is a nice touch. The jump scare you get when you open the app each time is quite fun lmao.
Only improvement I can suggest would be to somehow link the videos for each collection as well so you can see the clothes in movement as well but otherwise, no notes. Thank you for providing this when Vogue Runway failed me!

### 5/5 — amando

*2026-03-13*

o melhor app

### 5/5 — 好

Vogue 무료버전🦄💕💕

### 5/5 — W APP

*2026-01-20, version 1.0.9*

Ngl I love this app

### 5/5 — Replaced vogue runway

*2025-12-31*

Basically vogue runway without the rubbish subscription

### 5/5 — Thumbs up

*2025-12-06*

A very good alternative to Vogue Runway app since Vogue wants payment now just to view runway shows

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2025-11-05, version 1.0.7*

Omg this app is sooooo coool, very well designed!
