A pin in the rear… ### 2/5 — Full download please!! *2015-06-28* It is frustrating when you purchase and download the issue days in advance and when you are in flight ready to begin reading and find that not all components have downloaded. Please give the user the option to fully download please; we do not pay you partially for the issue so give the full download. ### 3/5 — Beautiful magazine, ok app *2014-11-09, version 3.3.2* Cover never updates unless one reloads. Shame. ### 2/5 — Just ok *2014-10-31, version 3.3.2* The app keeps crashing with iOS 8. Also, have not received download for new issue ### 5/5 — All Digital Magazines Should Be Like This *2014-06-07, version 3.1.1* This is a very good app and very well done. Lots of good photos in high definition, and lots of good decorating ideas. ### 1/5 — Frustrastingly not ready for prime time *2014-03-27, version 3.0.1* Whether it's an Apple issue or a Hearst one, using the Veranda iPad app is frustrating and time-consuming in the amount spent trouble shooting. I won't be renewing my subscription. ### 1/5 — Active subscription...still asks for payment *2014-02-25, version 2.6.3* Can't access paid annual subscription ### 1/5 — Terrible *2014-02-22, version 2.6.3* It doesn't work. I've paid, and spent too much time trying to get the app to open. I give up. I want my money back! And my time. ### 1/5 — Poorly functioning app *2014-01-15, version 2.6.3* I bought the subscription online, but app won't work. Even after restoring and following FAQs, to access the next issue it says "buy now" and charges 0.99. Maybe title should be non-functioning app. ### 2/5 — Difficult to Use *2014-01-03* I'm pretty savvy with electronics and things.....but this app confounds me. I archived an edition and now I cannot find it. I cannot restore it and it doesn't appear for me to download again. I followed the instructions carefully, multiple times and nothing.....I can't even find a help button re: archiving. Bad form. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Impossible to login *2026-07-04* Bought subscription on Facebook. App won't acknowledge. Confusing mess. ### 1/5 — Wasted Subscriptions *2024-12-31* The app rarely works. ### 1/5 — Subscription services messed up *2023-07-09* I subscribed but the app doesn’t find my email. Nor can I access online articles ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2021-06-26, version 25.0* Interface is poor on Ipad and can’t get recognized for log in. ### 1/5 — Online subscription *2020-06-22* Your online subscription does not work. ### 1/5 — Do not subscribe! *2020-02-19* Terrible app, very user unfriendly, difficult to unsubscribe. ### 1/5 — dont waste your time *2016-06-25, version 5.1.4* Absolutely no pictures. The app is basically an ad for you to "pay" for a subscription. Domino magazine is much better in that you have access to pictures. It's a great preview that makes you want to buy their magazine. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2016-03-05* I have subscribed to Veranda for several years without issues. I am currently unable to download the most recent issue and as of today I have been denied access to my subscription completely. No history, no ability to Refresh and have been denied access to make with the magazine to try and resolve the matter. I am two months into my annual subscription. Very disappointed in this magazine and Hearst Publications. Hope they fix this glitch soon! ### 1/5 — Too many advertisements *2015-04-02, version 5.0.1* Way way way way too many advertisements - the content was unimpressive. ### 1/5 — Not sure *2014-11-02, version 3.3.2* New issues???? Love the magazine and the app is good but been waiting for the November issue for a while now. All the other magazines for the month are out. Is Veranda folding😞 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Veranda *2026-06-17* Alway creative and elegant. It’s always a pleasure to keep and review my Verandas. ### 5/5 — Veranda *2025-02-14* Veranda is my most favorite Magazine on the market. I love digital, and I also love to have a copy on hand! I still want to touch books magazines. That’s just who I am. Thx ### 5/5 — Non Decorators Dream *2023-09-16* Love how someone like me who cannot decorate well, can create so many ideas to use from this magazine. Love the new color of the year. Already implementing ideas. Thanks you really have a talented group both online and print. ### 5/5 — Pure genius! Has not succumb to downgrading *2023-02-09* So many design magazines have recently been downgraded as they have been taken over by some sort of younger generation that has no sense of quality and art involved in home decor, and architecture. They approach design like juveniles, and this has ruined pretty much every magazine on the market, except for Veranda. This is the last hold out of pure genius in reporting design style. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-11-29* I have had the app for years and just started using it because the magazine has become so great again! True Classic Design! There are articles like the cover story on Scotland and Scottish tartans that I want to read again and share with others. Thank you for a great job! ### 5/5 — Veranda *2017-06-22* Found the magazine on the table at the Grand California Hotel in Disneyland and gave had a subscription off and on since then in 2003! Love the magazine and its content! Wish it came out monthly instead of bimonthly! When I'm feeling indulgent I will order it! ### 5/5 — Wonderful magazine *2016-04-04, version 5.1.4* Easy to use, auto update, wonderful content ### 5/5 — Wonderful photos and decorating ideas *2015-10-25* Looking at the beautiful furnishing in the magazine is a delight. I feel like I am visiting a designer's house. The photos entice me to get more information on the furniture by visiting the websites. I recommend the magazine to all the dreamers out there! ### 5/5 — Eye candy *2015-09-04, version 5.0.4* Every page a feast of aesthetics and timeless sophistication. ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2015-02-12, version 3.4.0* I look forward to every issue and then get lost in each delicious page. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
