When going into I tunes it says new issue free but it's not. It cost $5. ### 1/5 — Take forever to release the latest magazine *2013-01-14* By the time they release the latest edition on to Newsstand you could have bought & read it. Bought a subscription so very annoyed. No contact details that I could find. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2012-08-14* I purchased the latest Vogue Mag and loved it BUT after it loaded it deleted my past Vogue Australia Magazine previously purchased and there are no contacts for App support except phone numbers t Where no one answers! Please rectify this VOGUE AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — NEEDS UPDATING ASAP! *2012-06-18, version 1.0* This app NEEDS to be updated so we can buy the magazine on our iPads! Poor form!! ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2012-03-15* It breaks my heart to say this, because I absolutely love Vogue, but this app is just useless, the only issue available (free or paid) is from December last year, really what is the point of reading about fashion that is 4 months out of date? Could be brilliant if only it was on newsstand and you could buy current issues. ### 1/5 — 286MB download per issue *2011-12-07* The team who developed this app should be fired. Other than the ridiculous issue size the app crashes constantly and can't even complete the download. Test before you release garbage apps so you don't waste people's time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-01-13* Really enjoyed the app till problems started with purchasing. Pressing on Buy does not let you actually buy anything, and nothing happens, and it’s across various devices and various accounts. Emailed about the issue and the problem is still going ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2021-06-13* This app is awful. It doesn’t fully load pictures and almost impossible to find a way to fix the problem. ### 1/5 — So Disappointing !!! *2018-01-30* This app is way below current industry standards & readers expectations. Zoom is a minimum requirement as are fonts large enough to be read. It also can’t be read in landscape on my iPad. Come on Vogue employ professionals not amateurs to design your app pronto or I won’t continue to subscribe ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2017-08-29* Don't bother with this app. It simply doesn't work. Slow to download issues, goes round in circles whenever there is an update and if you do eventually manage to get the update to work you discover all your back issues have disappeared. I'm not much of a techie, but my husband is and it drove him crazy as well. **Developer response:** Hi Bells380, We apologise for the inconvenience caused but we have now fixed the issue in regards to Restoring Purchases. You should now be able to restore your previous purchases and download issues. Thank you for your patience. ### 1/5 — Ffs *2015-08-09* Of all the buttons not to work, the download button??? Really? Makes the app pretty useless. ### 1/5 — Unable to subscribe *2015-08-09* Clicked on one year subscription but nothing happened. No subscriptions showing up under the Apple ID and unable to read any magazine on the app. The app says subscription will start immediately but nothing even after 1 hour. ### 1/5 — Not working *2015-08-07* Not downloading properly, patchy and unreliable and sad as I have a subscription. Download button doesn't work and Each month I have to delete and reload app to get the next edition. Annoying ### 1/5 — Would give a 5 if the app worked *2014-09-21* After updating to iOS 8 the app no longer works and won't allow me to access my downloaded issues. I will give a 5 when this problem is resolved because when it was working it was fantastic ### 1/5 — General bugs *2014-03-09* Terrible ### 1/5 — Bad app *2013-07-19* The App just constantly crashes. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Turning a Corner *2018-03-26* For those who have given this app a go in the past - I would suggest a revisit. The interface has changed and is far more user-friendly. I’m really enjoying this experience! ### 5/5 — Love the look of it *2011-11-04* Easy to get around.... Looking forward to reading, watching and generally relaxing with iPad vogue ### 3/5 — Has a fair way to go... *2011-11-09* This should probably just be on news stand. The Harper's Bazaar app is better but I believe in Vogue, innovate a little bit more! ### 3/5 — WE WANT NEWS STAND *2011-11-04* Not buying an issue until you update this and masterchef mag for the news stand. Come on. Don't go against the grain here. News stand is good. ### 2/5 — Great magazine, terrible app. *2014-01-15* Although the content is uniformly excellent Vogue Australia simply must improve their ipad app. Having subscribed to Vogue for a decade I switched to the ipad subscription when I moved overseas for convenience and I am terribly disappointed. This app does not measure up to current app quality. You cannot zoom in to look at content closer. Some of the fonts are so small as to be unreadable, this is hampered further by not being able to zoom. You cannot turn the ipad side ways to read in landscape as the app doesn't follow. This is especially frustrating for big images that are double page spreads which you currently have to view half at a time! Book marking or referencing and note taking options are minimal which most magazine readers will agree is terrible for looking back on your magazines for future inspiration. I implore you Vogue, as you bravely move toward the digital medium employ a proper app designer! Or risk loosing more subscribers. ### 2/5 — Unable to rotate *2012-10-18* Hi, have purchased the Oct issue on iPad however the contents do not rotate to landscape viewing mode. There is no option for this on the user interface and the iPad is definitely not locked to position. Please fix this important functionality as it gets rather annoying for viewing.
