  1. 1/5Useless

    I downloaded the app to be able to file and read archival articles in one place. Not only can the app not find them, but when you find them by Googling, you cannot then open them and save them on the app, which appears to be nothing more than a digital newsstand for a single title. So much regret about this subscription.

  2. 2/5What happened?

    VF used to be great to read electronically. Then they made a too-fancy app that took too many swipes and got stuck all the times it tried to integrate video or show scaled images…so it’s been simplified to the point it’s nothing. Might as well be a PDF. If an article ends on page 50 and continues on 108 there isn’t even a link. You have to “flip” the virtual pages. It’s just not up to par for a title like Vanity Fair. You have a budget. It’s 2024. The electronic version should work.

  3. 1/5Disappointing format

    If I wanted to flip through 100+ pages, I’d subscribe to the paper edition. I’ve enjoyed the advantages of the electronic version for years, but am not happy with the new format. I agree with the previous reviewer: this may as well be a pdf.

  4. 1/5Love content, hate UX

    I love vanity fair articles and podcasts, but the app needs to go back to a point where I can click into an article rather than swipe through an entire magazine where I need to zoom in to read the content.

  5. 1/5App doesn’t work

    Simply put, I bought a digital subscription, worked initially (for a few pages) then I couldn’t get get back into it later. Kept asking for print subscription log-in and password which I obviously don’t have. Useless
