Vanity Fair Digital Edition

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.

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.

I couldn’t link my print and app either. I called the toll free number and in less than two minutes Mark linked it for me. I’m all set.

This VF is a scam. I purchased subscription but have never been able to open a magazine. I even have the receipt. This is a total scam. Don’t fall for it. Going back to paper mags!!!

Purchased digital access and the app has nothing but a way to buy digital magazines. Nothing more. When I try to link subscriptions, I’m in an infinite loop of non-response.

This app is an absolute Failure! The app response practically is non-existent as it takes much too long open. The platforms did not share information; between desk top and app. Nothing about it is fun or easy. In this digital age and especially as “ print media” is struggling to survive, this inoperable platform is inexcusable. If I could give a negative rating, I would.

This app is embarrassing in how terrible it functions. It is one of the worst apps I have ever used. It requires you to log in every time you use it (even on the same device) and NEVER remembers your password. The website is strangely just as bad in these areas. Otherwise the content is great once you can get to it. It’s just such a mess to get there.

cannot link account and cannot access digital subscription

Also purchased VF and have received a tote bag. Cannot access what the subscription promised to provide. Didn't ask for a tote bag. I signed up for VF's news. All I get is a somewhat dated overview once a week. Signed up for an online newsletter and only get an email directing me to a poorly functioning weekly newsletter. Was expecting an app. Not this. They seem to have sold me a weekly email rather than providing an appropriate app for news. Will probably cancel at my earliest opportunity as I have no use for an app to purchase a fashion mag. I signed up for VF's world acclaimed news service and expected more from a monthly subscription that I might wind up paying for until next year. Customers don't want their money back, they want their purchase to work properly.

I’ve been a digital only subscriber for a number of years. This month, my app didn’t auto-renew and I was advised by VF to re-subscribe. Now I learn the the digital app is not available to digital only subscribers, it’s only for paper & digital. Really!!!!! After 3 email exchanges & 3 phone calls, I was told I can only access content on the web site. Which means no offline reading. Plus not formatted for an optimal digital experience. In addition, I keep having to get activation codes each time I sign in. I plan to cancel if I can’t get this resolved.
