Unusable
The interface is worse than any emag I’ve ever used. The latest issue locks on the inner cover and won’t let you access any further. A complete waste of money.

Holly Wood Issue
I have the same reaction each year to the Hollywood issue: “What a waste of an issue !”

Not working as well as it used to
Haven’t looked at my VF subscription for a few months. When I opened I got a window talking about navigating. Nothing seemed all that different - swipe to move to next article; maybe rearranged content index. On reading though it seemed really slow to load; crashed out once; generally not as responsive.
2019-11-12
Not user friendly
Difficult to navigate. Not intuitive. Cannot be read when screen is turned. Dated format.
2019-09-16
It would be perfect if I could enlarge the script. It is too small.
We used to be able to do it. Is it cost cutting? Such a shame.

App update failure
Updated the app & now it is frozen. Frankly am tired of the ongoing issues with this app. Fix it
2019-08-04
Not Worth The Hassle
This app is a mess. New issues won’t download. The few that have, constantly malfunction - freezing up. I’m cancelling my subscription and Conde Nast can keep my money. Not worth the hassle.
2019-06-14
VF on my devices
Downloaded and paid for the current issue on my phone but was unable to open on my tablet, which is where I wanted to read it later. Rethink ordering.
2019-04-18
App doesn’t work
I subscribed but the app still wants me to pay for issues. Customer service will not respond. Careful before you subscribe

Doesn’t Scale for iPhone XS
It’s a crappy letterboxed experience on an iPhone XS. Seriously, coming from someone who works in an app development environment- this is such a simple update to make.
I feel that this is probably a business decision to ignore app development in favour of the website. So be it. This app has been deleted.

Master Fail = Vanity Fair Digital Subscription
I have subscribed generally more often than not over the years, opting for digital access. Unfortunately, this subscription services FAILS again & again, if not for most, at least definitely for Canadian subscribers.
Despite paying for digital subscriptions here and there over the last 5 years, you reject my CORRECT name & address to log in, as well as the account number issued by you to me, as well as my user name, leaving me yet again with no way to log in and actually make use of the subscriptions I have paid for, including my most recent one that I paid for only 2-3 days ago.
Buyers Be Warned: every solution offered in the past by customer service has never worked. I have been billed for renewals even though I have gone on record for cancelling, & I still can’t get access.

Display
Your content is not covering the whole screen on my iPhone 10 as of yesterday May 2/18. I have contacted Apple and was told there is nothing wrong with my phone. Please advise if there is a problem with your app and what can be done to fix the problem. Thank you.

Great upgrade!!
I have bought several magazine apps and Vanity Fair is one of the best. I especially enjoy the extra pics and videos that are offered in the app version. Unfortunately I have an iPad one and using the older version of the app makes my iPad crash when it open the magazine. Wish they would go back to the landscape option as well.

Great app: VF 💥
This app works great on iPhone X

Can’t open articles!!
I’m not sure what’s changed but I can’t open the articles in the latest issue of the digital magazine. I initially thought it might have some to do with my older iPad but I still cannot open the same articles on my new iPhone. Please fix ASAP!!
2017-12-09
iPhone X update
It is supposed to have been uodated for iPhone X but the format still displays olded iphone ratio. Please fix this. Thank you.
2017-08-14
Thanks for going back
Thanks for addressing concerns about the new format. It was not user friendly. This format is great! Sometimes change isn't good 😁

A step backwards (but they listened!)
Update - most of the serious problems with the previous version have been fixed, so I'm revising my rating from a 1 to a 4. Thank you for listening to your readers!
Previous review follows:
New version is a real step back - definitely falls into "WTH were they thinking?" territory. Navigation is non-intuitive (reading time???) and the app doesn't remember where you left off. You have to reload the issue you were last reading and figure out how to get back to the article you want. Interactive features (polls, photos, captions) are incredibly clumsy. What used to be a delightful iPad experience is now a huge pain. It's actually better to read the print edition (maybe that's what they want).
2017-07-09
Font size and pages!
Updated review: just downloaded the new version of the app. Would love to be able to test it out but takes 5+ minutes to download a single issue which then fails just before completing download. Have attempted to delete app and re-install to no effect. Also, update does not inform you that you will have to redownload all issues you have already downloaded. Why is this so difficult? I just want to read the content I have paid for.
2016-01-22
BRING BACK LANDSCAPE!!!
I've been a VF subscriber for many many years and haven't had time to read it for a few months and now I find I can't have it in landscape mode - WTF.

This is the only magazine app I don't have trouble with.

Log In Problems
As a subscriber to the magazine for over 2 decades I find it incredibly frustrating that the app fails to recognize my address. I fiddled with "St., Street" and every variation and still no luck. If the point is to offer an alternative log in method for people who don't have their magazine label / account number with them, this shouldn't be like breaking into the Swiss Bank. Then I tried the app contact page to make them aware of the issue and get advice if possible, and was continually prompted for not having a valid zip code even though I had already selected Canada as my country. Again no luck. I wanted to renew my subcription online. Guess I'll stick with snail mail and the non digital magazine. Please make your software more user friendly Vanity Fair !

Its practical. Content well organized

Great to read but make D/L better
App is great for all the things that come once the issue is on my iPad but I wish the downloading was done better. I have to leave my iPad open and on the library page (or in the partially downloaded issue) to download. If I close the app to do something else, it pauses the download. Issues can take a half hour to download and leaving my device unused for that long is stupid. Allow for background downloads and it would be 5 stars four sure

Where is mailbag?
Can't find letters to the editor or mailbag in the digital version. Where are they? Otherwise, great reading on my iPad Air. I've been reading VF since the day it restarted, and have never missed an issue.
2014-01-02
Vanity Fair App - great!
A great way to access the online edition and special feature issues. It fits into "Newstand" groups quite well. I like the ease of use in portrait or landscape viewing.
2013-12-12
Perfect
They thought of every thing, it's almost like the real magazine -- well maybe even better.

Vanity Fair........The Best!
Vanity Fair has always been my favorite magazine. Been a fan for over 30 years. The moment this app became available I was hooked. VF rarely disappoints. It's the only electronic magazine on my I pad. Love it!!!
2013-10-26
Vanity Fair
One of the top magazines going, due to its incisive articles on important people and issues and the wealth of articles on a diverse set of issues. One of the few magazines I read from cover to cover.

Please fix
...cannot read offline (app crashes). Otherwise, the Conde Nast magazine apps are truly the best designed. Would love to subscribe to VF when offline reading is restored.
2013-02-09
Crashtastic unless connected to the internet
The files are huge but they download for offline reading, YET app crashes and won't open an issue unless an internet connection is active! Incredibly annoying.
That unacceptable fact being said, it's one of the best-designed iPad magazines.
