Does not Work.

Couldn’t even log in or sign up because after I put my details in the log in button doesn’t work. Same with the sign up button. I would press it and nothing would happen. You guys are a great magic store and I’ve bought from you many times, but can you please make your app work?

Needs variable speed playback

It’s a great app in theory, but without variable speed playback, I will almost never use it.

VI’s website has great variable speed playback.

A vanishing app

Not a review of the content; if your reading this you know the content.

More the app is buggy and constantly crashes. Only 1 of about 20 videos I’ve tried to download or stream works, the others cause the app to crash.

The shop front works tho 😂

Horrible

Each time I try to watch my “downloads” the app vanishes.

PDFs cause crashes & Sparse library

I used to provide a 4 star rating, now it’s 2. While I love VI and their customer service is top notch, the app isn’t it. Back in 2021, I asked a question via a Q&A session when the app would be updated. They said by the end of the year. Aside from an internal UI adjustment in the home screen, no physical app adjustments have been posted to the App Store.

The most recent problem I’ve faced is, aside from small-sized PDFs still not working, is most recent purchases haven’t been showing up in my library. On top of that, after deleting/reinstalling the app countless times, only about 1/3 of my library is there. Yes, I can use my browser, but what’s the point of using the app when you get to that level?

Andi, Josh, or whoever is reading this, again, I love your company (and app… when it works!), but please, on behalf of magicians everywhere, update your app!

Everything in one place

Great app for keeping track of your downloads when you’re on the go!

Does the app work?

If vanishing magic takes over other companies and the downloads are transferred and I’m simply clicking on the performance and the app closes automatically then what good is that app? Smh

Great app but buggy

As others have noted, some downloads (such as PDFs) crash the app. Also, if I have downloads in progress when the app crashes, they’ll resume when I relaunch but all of the file names disappear from the Download Queue page. (I have a row of progress bars with no file names). The app overall is great, but these UI bugs make it very frustrating to use.

Doesn’t work

Crashes every time I try to play or download any of my purchases. They should either fix and update it or remove it from the App Store.

Neglected

This app started its life ok. They did updates to fix glitches etc and content was refreshed regularly. Every week would see a different product or download showcased and each category has lots of instant downloads that could also be streamed via the app itself. Sadly this is no longer the case and the app has been neglected for quite some time. I’m unsure why as their website is still up and running and has regular updates to content, promo offers etc. The Session is also still being held. Having spent a fair amount via the app on different tricks etc, I now feel a bit cheated.

Needs Updating

Needs to be updated, was OK at first, but now just unable to download or watch, needs sorting

Will not launch

App won't launch. It brings up the title screen and disappears.

Great when it works

As others have noted, I use this app to have reference material offline. I like being able to purchase directly from the app, although a search feature or at least some kind of sort would be nice. Downloaded videos are great, but pdfs still crash. Fix that and it’s a five star app!

Downloads not available for purchase on the app

When I first downloaded the app, ALL the various downloads were available for purchase right from the app. Over the last few months, the downloads are no longer available for purchase. When I click on the various links, the pages come up blank. The only available for purchase are e-books (4) and lectures. I have also deleted and reinstalled the app, and same issue. Has this been addressed?

PDFs cause crashes!

I’ve noticed for the past few months (even before the most recent update) that anytime I’d try to open certain PDFs (they’re usually one or two page documents such as templates or tables of contents), the app crashes. I’ve done everything from restarting the app, my phone, deleting/reinstalling both the PDFs and the app... everything! Sadly, this problem still persists. The weirdest part of it all is that these PDFs work just fine the first time I download & open them and whenever I view them on Safari (the latter of which defeats the purpose of the app).

It goes without saying that I, like many other magicians, use this app primarily whenever I’m traveling and don’t have access to a computer. Having everything working on this app would be paramount.

Not bad

Adding the ability to cast videos to your tv thru chromecast would be great!

Unable to access hundreds of pounds of downloads

The app crashed. I have tried to reinstall it, however as I have an iPad 3 my iOS is no longer compatible with the updated app. This means that I can no longer access my ebooks, lectures or video downloads.

Crashes all the time

I’ve got over 20 downloads on this app (paid a lot of money) worked well for a while but now every time I try and open a download it just crashes, can’t read /watch anything.might as well thrown money away.. this app has put me of downloads

Doesn't work anymore?

This app desperately needs updating. Just crashes on opening. I spoke to vanishing inc and was told that the app was being updated. Nothing has updated since my conversation. I have a lot of value spent on magic downloads that I cannot see or use?! Avoid at all costs. Terrible.

Buggy

Keyboard won’t close on the login screen and pressing “Go” doesn’t do anything, effectively rendering the app useless. Needs a fix please.
