Tells me to subscribe or sign in. Go to Sign In, tells me I’m already signed in. Go back to article, tells me to sign in. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. ### 1/5 — Impossible to search for back issues. *2026-02-25* Have had nothing but trouble with this app and the site. ### 5/5 — Vanity Fair *2026-01-21* Amazing! Just terrific! ### 1/5 — Impossible to read online *2025-12-18* Love the mag but dang is it hard to read online! ### 1/5 — Unreadable. *2025-11-02, version 6.4* The font is minuscule and although settings includes a font size slider, the slider does not work. This is especially annoying as the web site is also terrible. While it has larger font it is incredibly slow to load and the navigation is a nightmare. ### 5/5 — Love the new VF! *2025-10-19* Finally this magazine is writing interesting things again! ### 2/5 — Not a good app *2025-08-06* I think the set up for the VF app is really odd. The Atlantic and the New Yorker apps are much more user-friendly. Their apps have suggested articles, and searches that actually work! It’s easy to scroll through the articles and find something that appeals to me. I’m deleting the VF app. ### 1/5 — Vanity Fair app *2025-06-12* Does not work ### 2/5 — Great Content Pathetic App *2025-05-02* I have always enjoyed reading Vanity Fair and will continue to do so as long as they do not bend a knee. This app, however, is one of the worst I have ever seen. There is no excuse in the day and age to publish something so subpar. Make the investment to provide a better app for your readers VF. ### 2/5 — Terrible app, unreadable even on iPad *2025-04-22, version 6.3* In a nutshell, the app presents beautiful looking screens nicely laid out (even if you only see half of an image), but it’s actually terrible if you actually want to read the articles. Really emblematic of our current age and technology. The content of course is great but it’s let down by a terrible app. One simple, but fundamental, flaw - the font. The font, which cannot be adjusted, is a minute serif font that is totally unreadable on iPad. And there is no way to adjust it. Yes, you can pinch zoom (built in iPad feature) but then it’s complicated to scroll through the text. Navigation generally is a bit of a pain to scroll pages with large photos - it’s hit and miss as to whether dragging the photo to scroll works. Some photos are split over two screens, ie you only see one half at a time. There is a nice ribbon with thumbnails of every page that you can click on. But there is no table of contents with hot links. Clearly not designed with reading in mind ; just flipping pages. ## Frequently asked questions about Vanity Fair Digital Edition ### What is the Vanity Fair Digital Edition app?
