InStyle Magazine App Reviews

It would be difficult to imagine an application which could be less competently executed than the Instyle tablet version. I am a print subscriber and tried the electronic version for convenience. It is so poor I have reverted to the paper publication. The content, after you wrestle the app into submission is fine. The act of downloading an edition is horrific. The application developers should be sent to a lovely tropical island WITH NO INTERNET ACCESS so they can never again inflict this sort of user experience on members of the public.

This application is extremely well done. It is a joy to go through the wonderful magazine with this. I have enjoyed InStyle for many years now, and this tablet version is just another way to savor even more this great fashion tool.

Compared to reading mags in the Zinio app, this one is pretty useless. Lack of functionality make it hard to get around the mag so does not come close to mimicking the paper experience.

Now that I am used to the new version of the app I can use it. I wish I could bookmark some pages for reference. Also it has been painfully slow to download the issues and going back to download the previous issues due to the new format was a real nuisance. If I have to do this again I will revert to paper though I prefer my magazines in electronic format as I can have access when travelling without the weight of paper.

Ugh the app was fine before the update, now all my issues need to be downloaded AGAIN and the new issues wont download at all. What the heck was this update for??? Customer annoyance???

Please fix this app. It continues to crash upon opening the latest issue. Then when I restart the app I have to download the issue all over again. Im paying for a magazine subscription for magazines I am unable to access.

Easy to download Great magazine with lots of information about fashion and style Fun to read

Love this app

My only complaint is that I cant view the magazine in landscape mode

Just bought this app and a subscription and cant not access the library, so incredibly frustrating and a waste of $24.99. Hope they come out with a fix

Cant read the magazine at all. Very frustrated and poorly designed app.

I like online magazines for travel, I havent had any issues running the magazine on my iPad. There is lots of content and worth the purchase.

The only magazine app I consistently have problems opening. As soon as I download the magazine the app stops working!

I was mid way through the huge September issue on my 1st gen iPad. Tried to go back into the app the following day to resume reading - app wont open. Ive closed out all other apps, done a soft & hard restart, and Nothing. So frustrating! Why wont it open?! Please fix.

Works ok but I think the hands on paper version is better...perhaps Im overlooking some of the features?

Dont up grade it crashes! My latest issue is paused in download hell!

Constantly crashes

I am very disappointed with this app. paid for a year subscription and have only Been able to view a few issues in their entirety. Contacted customer service and just given the same instructions as are on the troubleshooting page. will not be renewing.

Sometimes the magazine is there and recognizes that I have a subscription and other times I am prompted to purchase it and I cant download it. Most frustrating since I dont know if I will get to download it on a monthly basis. Thinking of cancelling my subscription if this happens next month.

When I download the magazine and open it I just get a gray screen that says "downloading". In the library it shows that its completed downloading. I let it sit for a long period of time and the grey downloading screen doesnt go away. Useless app if I cant read my magazine!
