DO NOT BUY. This is one of the worst apps I've seen, mainly because the only way to download the content is to have it open and your iPad not sleeping. At 650MB per edition this means you've got to constantly keep tapping on your screen to get the whole thing downloaded. Why they don't have bAckground downloading is beyond me. Also, have yet to find a way to turn off the automatic subscription renewal, and support from Conde Nast is non-existent. I have sent five emails to their customer support over the previous 4 months and have yet to get an answer. Looks like I'm a calling my credit card to block their charges going forward, this seems to be the only way to get out of this poor excuse of an app.

Cannot login to my account. If i could give this stupid stupid GQ app negative stars i absolutely would. Unable to open any of the magazine's content despite being able to be able to log into my account via some popup bubble that appears as an overlay to the app itself. The app designers need to be taken behind a shed and beaten for how terrible this useless thing is.

Does Not Connect with my Ipad 2. First of all good magazine to read but HORRIBLE when I log into my account. No expiration dates on my Subscription and No Account number when I log into my account. I downloaded the GQ app and can't even log into my account to download magazines. When I contact GQ its like an automated system that keeps giving me steps on fixing the problem. I've tried over and over but if its this difficult to keep up with the technology well GQ magazine has alot work in there hands besides there wont even be anymore paper magazines anymore, look what happening with books. Total Dissapointment!! I'll have to try another magazine to read and upload.

App is broken. Having same problem as others. Can’t access my previous purchases from Apple, and get error message when try to sign in. An update is needed asap to fix this.

Can’t download latest issue. What have you done with this app, I can’t download February issue, becauser it says my account can’t be verified HELPPPPPPPP

Bad UI .. Subscription Error. The old UI was so much better. It is now just a website in an App. Also, I get errors all the time when trying to download the latest issue. Sometime it acts like I don't have a subscription. Other times it give me a download error. The whole purpose of using the app on a tablet is so that I can read the issue on the road even if I don't have an internet connection. The app is so unreliable now I am thinking of cancelling my subscription.

Current Version is a shame.... After upgrading to the current version that was released for Newsstand compatibility I lost the ability to view any of my issues. What ever tinkering was done has rendered the application useless. I am a subscriber and don't want to have to buy each issue if I'm already subscribed. I contacted Condé Nast and I just keep getting the same form letter stating to make sure I'm signed in and to restart the application. They also ask for you to reply if the issue wasn't fixed. Did that, and guess what my response is? The same form letter! Their customer support is a joke. Overall, I'm Very disappointed in this application. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Awesome app except one thing..... I am in love with having GQ on my iPad! The inclusion of videos, song previews, and direct links to websites are all awesome details that I really appreciate. There's one thing about these digital issues that has been frustrating me though: the inconsistency of photos/ads when compared to the print version. I always enjoy looking at the ads presented in GQ and I hate that they're different depending on which direction I rotate my iPad! There will oftentimes be completely different images depending on whether I'm in portrait or landscape, and even within articles that include images, they can sometimes get cropped so severely that most of the image is gone. As the digital magazine evolves I hope the GQ team addresses this inconsistency and more accurately mimics the print version.

Annoying... There are numerous apps with state of the art graphics, complex functionality (Korg iElectribe etc.) and others that are simple but user friendly. But some reason, magazine apps tend to be disastrous even though they should be fairly simple. This GQ app will leave you frustrated, as the first magazine you buy will take hours to download (if at all).. not to mention during the download phase you constantly have to hit 'resume' because it consistenly pauses itself for no reason at all. Other than that, it's just another basic magazine app which you would buy for convenience and eco friendliness (too bad it offers neither).

Took away best features. Buggy/ slow now. The new 5.0 update has completely ruined this app for me. (iPhone + iPad) Most annoying is the removal of the Bookmark feature. All of my previously saved articles were deleted so you can forget about ever looking at older issues again. Not that I could if I wanted to because my library of downloaded issues were removed and offline mode barely loads the current issue. Not to mention the app is buggy, slow, doesn't save where you left off, and removed the navigation bar at the bottom. I understand why they made the updates they did, but they didn't have to kill off the features that made it great to use. Canceling my digital subscription.

Worst app ever. Total disgrace for Conde Nast. This app is totally unusable. I've mistakenly purchased a print subscription as well as a digital subscription and you know what? I can't get either of them on my iPad. Every time I open the app, the new issues appear, but it wants to to rebut the issue or subscription even though I've signed in and out multiple times to no avail! And when I have re-bought individual issues out of frustration, the downloads are sometimes over 1GB in size! It's quicker for me to go to the store than download this behemoth. Forget it when I'm traveling, which is the whole purpose of getting a digital subscription! No wonder the print industry is going down the tubes, with pathetic execution like this, they deserve to.

Redefining the Magazine. I absolutely love what y'all did with this app. The zoom out article navigation makes browsing a cinch. What I love most are the interactive buttons riddled through the app so I can buy a pair of shoes shown or see extra pics. Please continue to iterate on the interactivity as it will set you apart. Currently they are a little hard to notice and are rudimentary in functionality, but I can see the potential. My complaints are that the size of each issue is humongous, and that you don't have background downloading. Being in software development, I understand how some priorities have to wait so I applaud you with what you have and can't wait to see how you improve.

Delayed Delivery. Conde Nast makes great iPad apps -- GQ, Vanity Fair, New Yorker, etc. -- which all have more or less the same UI and functionality. My A1 gripe with the GQ app is the timeliness of delivery. Unlike New Yorker's iPad edition, which is available late Sunday night before the weekly print edition delivers by mail or lands on the newsstand, GQ's July issue is already on the rack right now but still no iPad edition. A few pages into the July print edition is an advertisement promoting the iPad edition, but it is not available either for purchase as a single issue, iPad subscription, or free to print subscribers.

Naive. I bought this app and subscription despite reading the many reviews that said it constantly crashed. I naively thought that the bugs would be worked out since many of the reviews were from may, I was wrong. I've had the app for about 2 hours, 30 min of which was spent downloading 1 issue. The rest of the time actually went well, although the swiping and scrolling were not as responsive as I expected. Then, as the reviews warned the app began to crash, over and over as I was attempting to read an article (very frustrating). I'm hesitant to ask for my money back because I have confidence in believing that GQ being such a classy magazine would rectify these problems as quick as possible, which I'm sure would satisfy their many fans. But if this persist I would be forced to ask for my money back because I cannot use an app that doesn't work. - frustrated customer-

Support is extremely unhelpful. I have a magazine subscription. I entered my info into the all access section and it accepted my info. However it still sees me as a non subscriber. I've emailed them multiple times and they keep asking me to log in using my email address, and I keep telling them that I am. We've been going back and forth with this nonsense for days. I think they respond to you with scripted responses. It's been over two weeks since I signed up for all access and have yet to download anything because it wants me to "buy" the magazines that I should be able to download. Until they fix their support quality I'm going to keep my rating to one star.

Great Magazine on the iPad. Wanted to get my two cents after having read the comments, feeling ambivalent over getting the app, and then getting the subscription any way. The digital magazine is kind of incredible. If the digital edition comes out a while after the print, I wonder if it's because the digital edition is interactive and changes layout between landscape and portrait. Kind of incredible. I don't think some of the reviewers appreciate how interactive and dynamic the digital edition is vs the print. It's not just a copy of what's in the magazine. It's much easier to navigate than a magazine and more fun to go through the content. Finally, the downloads are huge. But you can delete at will and re download your old editions when you want. Should be careful about downloading over cellular data. It would absolutely eat up half a gig. Won't comment much on the magazine content itself. I think gq is interesting enough. But if you like the magazine you will not be disappointed with the digital edition period.

The blueprint for all other magazine apps!. I have been subscribing to GQ now, for over 2 years and never thought to try the tablet version. This is a very well done app and I love all of the extras that the tablet version gives you. The alternate photos, video clips, and interactivity of it all is just amazing. While tinkering around with other magazine apps, I realized how that this one is head and shoulders above the rest. Keep up the good work ! The only improvement to be made now is to figure out a way to incorporate smell with the cologne samples.

Does not work properly in IOS5 on iPad2. Attempted to login to my account and it refused my credentials even though I know that I entered everything correctly. I changed the password 3 times even though it would work in the website the App kept telling me Authentication Failed. Its not worth the bother or trouble to pay for something you cannot use. I WILL NOT go back to the paper magazine as my point of buying my subscription through the iPad is so I would not have a stack of magazines i would end up throwing out. The fact that I had to reset my password 3 times and then only for it to fail on my iPad is not something I am happy about. I will be canceling my subscription. I have had nothing but trouble with this app before and after it was added to newsStand. None of my other news and magazines are having this issue.

Difficult to link accounts. Bought a subscription but the instructions to link the purchase do not work. Eventually figured it out but the instructions they send you are outdated

Puts paper to shame. I've had a subscription to GQ for years, but it reached a new point of excellence with its newer electronic capabilities. Flipping through stories is a breeze with the side-to-side swipe, or continue reading a story by swiping down, and access to retailers and other "where to buy" links are just a click away now. Not to mention additional videos of the Women Of GQ alongside their photoshoots, as well as other stories, this developed platform exceeds expectations and really blows you away.

GQ needs a how to. The app is awesome first of all. I used to only skim through the print edition pick what I want to read if anything but I love the iPad so much I usually read the whole mag. 2nd to all those people that right reviews that the app takes up to much space....there is an archive feature! It's in the library on the app next to all the pics of the mags. You can archive and it frees up space. 1. GQ needs a "how to" on the app for those non-techy people 2. GQ needs to get the iPad editions out at the same time the print edition arrives. Not a few days later.

Conde Nast is lying. The Better Business should due notified that Conde Nast is falsely advertising that their publications are FREE and available as an IPad app: it's not true. And the most hilarious part is reading their emails from customer service where they suggest they are looking into it. As a subscriber who pays $12 a year for a magazine, it seems quite unreasonable to pay $4.99 for one single issue, and as a current subscriber, to actually have to pay for an issue is an insult. But the real insult is the shananigans they are pulling by sending with each issue a subscription number that one imagines is the way to access the digital issue, when i suspect they are actually saying this is how you can access the site where you can purchase the issue, as if getting the app was about having to spend some money. This is a fiasco and Conde Nast should immediately issue clarification about whether or not, subscribers are entitled to the digital issue. Period.

Beautiful app. I was very annoyed when I didn't have access to the digital version because I had a print subscription. With the update I now have access, and I must say that this is one of the most beautiful apps I've ever used. This is an app that really takes advantage of all the things that are great about the iPad (namely the stunning screen and fluid interface.) If all magazines had apps like this I'd never read a print magazine ever again.

If I could, I would give it 1/2 star. I enjoy GQ magazine. You would think in this "Save the trees" world, they would have begun to focus on the electronic version of the magazine instead of the paper copy I had a subscription for a year and really enjoyed it. I decided to renew, and like others I have seen writing reviews, they assigned me a new account number which is not recognized for some reason. There is no phone number to call to fix this, and nobody responds to my emails. Unfortunately, I have to put up with paper copies of the magazine instead of the electronic version for the remainder of my subscription. However, you can bet I will NEVER SUBSCRIBE OR BUY ANOTHER magazine from this company. Not just Gq, but any other under the Conde' Moniker. Nate Fisher

No support. Honestly, the tablet version of this magazine is quite satisfactory. There are some features that really make good use of the technology. It's great! Only, it's not! Outside a purchased issue, there is nothing fantastic about GQ. Their customer support, or lack thereof, is a disgrace! Five times I've attempted to get support from them! I have gotten not a single response. My inquiries are about changing/managing a subscription. It is impossible to control the monthly-requiring subscription. When a new issue is available and I open the app, sure enough, it begins download. And yes, the automatic download is off! I basically wanted to change my subscription to the annual option, but can't. Conde Nast needs to upgrade this. I am very disappointed!

Thank you GQ. I love this app and thank you for allowing me to link my subscription. I've subscribed for many years and was disappointed to originally see I had to pay $4.99 per subscription. Thank you for changing that and valuing your subscribers. I travel frequently and this will make reading GQ more pleasurable and efficient. I won't have to be home for my subscription and I won't have to lug a big magazine in my bag. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Too long to download. Need to fix the download process. For me the gold standard is the WSJ. WSJ Downloads and at the same time you can view content. Also as other reviewers mention turning off the sleep mode is required to get the download. I plug in the iPad overnight and let it go. Not the best, but it works. Once it is downloaded, I really like it since as a print subscriber I can get the iPad version for free. How about an iPad only subscription?

Sign-in broken. As noted by others, sign-in is broken. When logging in I get a “server timeout” message… immediately after submitting credentials.

GQ has lost its way.. I’ve been a subscriber to GQ since I was 13 years old, it’s now thirty years later. I literally can’t stand the magazine anymore. It has lost its way. It is possessed with street style that looks good on Instagram instead of what looks good in real life. It has become beyond “woke”. Every month I download the latest issue, scroll through it looking for something interesting to read. Every month I am disappointed. Everything began to change when they got rid of the now late Glen O’Brien. Then when clickbait filled Buzzfeed wrote a negative review of GQ because GQ wasn’t woke enough, GQ took notice. I thought GQ would laugh it off. After all Buzzfeed is just a muckwrecker, the birthplace of cancel culture. Well, here we are now. With GQ now bowing down to those who don’t even read GQ to begin with. GQ is just out of touch.

Beautiful App...that needs work. Clean, elegant implementation of the magazine that provides the "potential" for wonderful interactivity. The most negative aspect of this version is the lack of background downloading for individual issues. File sizes are large and users with slow internet connections will find themselves unable to fully download an issue without remaining within the app itself. If this issue is fixed this could easily be a 5 star publication. Until then it is a wonderful exercise in frustration.

Avoid the 5.0 update. They completely changed the UI, eliminating a layout that resembled the print edition for a bland layout that resembles a website with endless scrolling. I had several issues saved on the previous version and all were deleted with the update. When I try download through the new app, it either says No Internet connection or begins to download only to freeze at around 95%. So I can't have issues saved for offline reading. My library of available back issues is also incomplete. I used to be able to download issues going back to mid-2011, but my favorite issue in early 2012 no longer appears. Also iPad exclusive content doesn't appear to exist in back issues anymore. If I could go back to the previous version of the app, I would. The 5.0 version is too buggy and should never have been released as-is.

Good enough- accept for "my book" icon. I've used the app for 18 months and, overall it does most of what you would expect in 2013. Beautiful content, acceptable navigation, and some nice feature that aren't available in magazine. Of course, sometimes small changes or glitches can make you pull your hair out. For me, the most recent is the "my book" icon that pops up on the top right corner every time you land on an advertisement. I get what GQ is trying to do, but from an UI perspective it's distractive and with no way to turn it off, it's unacceptable. It muddles the simplistic (and enjoyable) page by page browsing a user would expect. Imagine, while reading your favorite novel, every time you flipped a page, you saw a blinking light. At first, you would just ignore, then you would start anticipating it, then you would do anything to get rid of it (while mumbling about the downfall of society and yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off the lawn.) I digress. Yes, GQ I get it. You are doing everything possible to make me spend a few extra dollars on one of your advertisers products. And in some brainstorming meeting some Sr Mgr said " we need to make it easier or more convenient or increase rev" while really saying "I have no good ideas but I need to be heard"... Bottom line, allow me to get rid of the "my book" icon, and I'll stay a customer.

Horrible. This app should be called 'can't connect to server try back later'. I have 3 subscriptions to magazines from this publisher and all of the apps suffer from the same issue (they are all basically the same app - different content). I'm currently trying to restore about 10 issues (switched devices-had to re-download) and I've been trying to download at random times through the day for 3 days... i still have 5 issues to go (for reference it took around 30 minutes to get 15 issues of a different magazine in that same time period). No download queue either... just one at a time then hope you can connect to get the next one. Even when you can connect to their servers or once you've finally downloaded an issue they are constantly in your face with buying subscription services (which most people probably have if they are using the app), or overpriced individual back issues which as far as i can tell you can't seperate out from the content you have paid them for. I have nothing positive to say about this app.

Thank you!. Just want to say thanks for making this available to current print subscribers at no additional cost! Nothing is more irritating than finding out you have to pay twice for a magazine you're already subscribed to if you want it available on the iPad. You guys should consider making a health magazine, I'm sure you'd eventually replace them (ie men's health). As far as the app goes, it works great, haven't found any issues or problems navigating, definitely beats the print version! I'll keep my subscription till I die!

No issues here.. I have no problems what so ever with the new version. I can get my iPad edition w/o any issues being a print subscriber. The first time in it asks me to give them the print information, I submit that. Then it asks me to create an account to login with or use an existing conde nast account. I put in my wired account info (both the same account) and it syncs up flawlessly. If you can't get it to work, then you're doing something wrong.

One of the best iPad apps out there. Even though I have been a GQ reader for about 10 years, this app has renewed my interest in the magazine! Getting used to browsing took some time it was an enjoying experience. You can tap on images to get details that may have been omitted from the actual print edition, VIDEOS of shoots, etc. And best of all, NO subscription cards falling off of you when you read :) Love that it downloads all the content so I can play while in Subway. Thank you for the awesomeness! PS: I am a print subscriber and get iPad version for free. You have to enter your customer number from the cover of the print edition to get this for free. Just signing in isn't gonna work.

Try for yourself.. I've been a subscriber for more than seven years and this digital version has pushed this magazine to a new level. Not only is it much more Eco friendly, saves bookshelves space, but now I find it offers more content. More pros: The layout is beautifuly designed and easy to use. Landscaping mode gives you a whole new layout and hidden contents. The ability to flip to "home" or "bookmark" quickly. Extra footage videos inserted with photos. Photos look stunning. One less thing to carry while traveling. Reading GQ on iPad is now more "fun" than just flipping through pages. Cons: No background downloading, but maybe an issue with how it's setup with Apple. Can't read it at times and places where you can't use electronics, i.e. during takeoff and landing. Should be less expansive since they don't have to print it, but that belongs to a complain to Conde Nast, not here on the rating about the app itself. I'm sure the developers/layout designers don't have much say in pricing. Overall I can't be happier and will never go back to the paper version again.

Love it!. One of the only magazines that I subscribe to, that allows you to download digital issues for free if you're already a print subscriber. The digital issues themselves are very well put together. I love the picture functionality, that allows you to tap to view the different pictures from the photo spreads. Also, the fact that they include their various videos directly in the issues, is awesome, since there's no need to leave the app an search for them.

An excellent style guide...with style. Gentleman's Quarterly has been helping us guys out for decades and with this digital version they have maximized our reading experiences. People always complement me on my attire and style and I always reply, "Hey, I gotta thank GQ for that." Plus, they always have an abundance of great men's products, from colognes to shaving products, in every issue. I've been reading the digital issue for almost a year now and I love it. It's so convenient to just download the latest issue once it is released. Plus with features like myGQ and integrated video clips, it just makes our reading experience that much better. It's easy to use and looks great on my iPad with retina display. GQ is doing it right. I will be a subscriber for a very long time. It is worth it 100%.

Worth it.. I must agree that the download is painfully slow, not to mention you have to keep the app up and active in order to download. If you move to a different app, or leave your iPad open and leave for a few minutes while the screen goes to sleep, the download will backtrack to where it started. BUT, I really enjoy the interactive interface and having all of my issues in one place, as well as being able to get old issues (cough cough Kate Upton cough) as I am a new subscriber. I really like the workout stuff in this past issue, keep those up and expand more on them with stuff to do, I'm getting bored with my usual workout routine.

Printed Subscription = Digital Subscription. I got the printed subscription of this magazine and now I can use it not only in my iPad, but in my Kindle Fire too! In my opinion that's enough to give this app a 5 star review. No other major magazine does that. I don't know why so many low reviews on this app, seriously! About the background downloads: this is not a problem just of this magazine, but of any other in the newsstand. In think there may be some restriction from Apple about that. iTunes and App Store are the only apps that let you do background downloads, any other app won't let you.

Kinda tired of one thing.. I love GQ and have been a subscriber via iPad for 2 years now, print version for several years before that, but there is one thing I don't like about this app. If for whatever reason you lose your connection while downloading an issue, it's like the app just deletes part of what it already downloaded. This is usually not an issue except when I'm deployed and the internet is kinda sheisty. I'll get to about 75/80 percent downloaded then it'll disconnect and the download will be set back to like 25-30 percent completion. Just thought I would share.

Almost perfect.. I love the magazine and I also enjoy the iPad experience. But it's just painful to have to keep the app open to download every issue. Considering how large the files are, it can sometimes take forever. The only thing that would make this app perfect is being able to download new issues in the background. I'm sure that the GQ iPad team can make this happen. Or at least make it an option for people that don't mind using their data all the time. Other than that, the app never crashes, and the experience itself is pretty amazing. Its not too different from the print version, but its much more interactive and feels more personal. Most of the time I don't even bother opening the print issue and I do all my reading on my iPad.

Good overall, needs background downloading. I haven't experienced the app-crashing problems others have mentioned, and I really enjoy the additional content (extra pictures, videos, interactive items, etc)... and really only have one gripe: the Library automatically pauses downloads if you leave the app or if the iPad's auto-lock feature activates. At ~700MB /issue, it would be wonderful if we could have a Settings toggle to allow background downloading (and to go with it, a toggle for WiFi-only downloads)

Frustrating!. While I love the interactive content and the ability to read GQ on my iPad, I can read the print magazine faster than it takes to download the electronic version. After upgrading to OS5, I needed to re-download my previously purchased issues (I hadn't read a couple of them). Every time I try, I receive an error in downloading. I've deleted and reinstalled the app several times to no avail. The latest issue is fine. If you"re thinking of upgrading make sure you"re caught up on your past editions. I'm also hoping there"s no problem with future ones ore the next app upgrade addresses these issues. Good luck!

Great Magazine on iPad!!!. The content is great. Witty writing, interactive elements, video content, etc. I was never a subscriber to the print edition but I am impressed with the digital version. As to the download experience I didn't have any issues at all. The 677MB file downloaded in 14 minutes on my Fios connection. As for the review that said it would take "days to download" I would suggest dropping that dial-up connection and grabbing some broadband. Yes, you must also leave the app open to download content so put down the iPad for 15 minutes and go for a walk! Can't wait for the next issue!

Good app. Good app overall but there are a few key missing features: no access to the dictionary, no ability to enlarge the text, no ability to decrease the brightness beyond the Apple "limit" (the Kindle app, for example, lets you decrease the brightness even further than the minimum you can set via the Settings), no ability to bookmark a page or section in a text. Also, no ability to download issue when app is running in the background or if iPad is in sleep mode. App must be running for entire duration of download. Pia. Plus side: easy and clear navigation, fast loading time of pages, high resolution of text and images. App never crashes.

Good Quick Ripoff. I updated the ap and now it says my subscription can not be verified. I can’t access any of my previous purchases or the new ones. I am subscribed until July 2023. I’ve tried to contact GQ again…crickets! Apple needs to ensure rip off artist like this don’t use their platform. And one more thing, #*#@ you GQ and Condé Nast Digital because you have clearly #*$@%^ me!

Great App! Wish it downloaded faster or on the computer.. The GQ Magazine app is one of the best out there. Easy to navigate, well laid out, and not overly cluttered with unnecessary videos (like Esquire). The only think I don't like about the app is the size of each issue.... 450+ MBs.... Seems really large and takes a long time to download. This is especially annoying for me because I travel internationally for work a lot and the wireless in other countries, especially developing countries, is never very fast (or even available). I wish I could download an issue on the computer and just update my iPad when it finished. If that happened, I'd give this app 5 stars.

Embarrassing. Condé Nast should be embarrassed for putting this app out. Content doesn't download, crashes, and extremely dull compared to GQ UK. Every time I open the app I'm just waiting for another error to pop up...and I'm rarely disappointed. The worst part about it is I called them for over three weeks about the problem I was having. I was just pushed off, pushed off, until I just stopped calling and never got my problem resolved. I obviously enjoy the content of the magazine but it's a terrible way to do business. I LOVE the UK version and am way more likely to open that then get a headache looking through this. I care about my iPad dearly but this app has made me contemplate throwing it through a wall. My advice, get the print version and download GQ UK.

Good magazine app. Good intuitive design. Works well.

Not my cup of tea in the end.. So would like to unsubscribe. Thank you

No June. Doesn't include latest issue like stated- got a free preview but that's it

Great.. It's really good. The app is kinda slow with "continuing downloads" but over all, a very good app. It's even sold me a few things from the app. Like the really hot jacket in the LeDi issue. Omg it arrives soon.

Confused but impressed. What happened to the other GQ app? I've bought close to 10 issues and it doesn't seem to be able to sync or recognize that. Is it a completely different app? New app seems good though hopefully it's more stable..... :S

Too expensive. Should be 99c for an electronic version.

It's amazing !. The new GQ app is available today and I can not wait to download it. This version has enhanced the reading experience and it is easier for reader to quickly go through the issue. But we can not zoom in pictures to see details any more and the single issue price is a little higher than previous version. All in all a great Magazine app!!

Pricing. Was about to get the latest issue but the price has jumped up from the last app version. Seriously why is everything in the app store more expensive for Australians.

What have you done to this app?. The previous versions of this app, while clunky at times, always worked. But now, with this version, if you are reading the magazine while connected to wifi the pages take forever to load, especially the advertisements. If you try and download an edition, it rarely loads first time. And then after it downloads, you find that it is not available when disconnected to wifi. As someone who likes to read content like this on planes, this makes the app useless.

Unsupported. The quality of the product is fine. I subscribed for 12 months and October came through nicely. No sign of November. The feedback website does not accept Australian post codes as valid. So in summary no magazine and no support.

Useless, can't even sign in. I am GQ Magazine subscriber, I was able to sign in and get the digital magazine before. With this version, Sign In no longer worked. I suspect there is a geo-locking for overseas subscribers.

Favorite Subscription. Great content always, whilst making great use of iOS features...using it on 1st gen iPad and it runs smoothly.

Messy also. Just don't understand why it can't be consistent.. Why do editions sometimes arrive mid month and others at the end of the month... Why doesn't it download in the background? Why does it take so long to download?

Works week on Gen 1 iPad. Great design, still works on gen 1 iPad.

Can't cancel my annual subscription. No option to cancel auto renewal, mag is ok, although would prefer the local one over this version. I have contacted them on many occasions about the auto renewal and no response. I reported the purchase with App Store but still doesn't fix the problem.

iPhone Please. please make it available for iPhone ):

Can't cancel subscriptions. Can't cancel my monthly subscription so am I stuck paying $1.99 forever??? There is no option in this app that allows you to do it!

Long term user. Signed up for a subscription from the first iPad replica edition. Look forward to it each month. Don't always like all the bells and whistles and tap to reveal more stuff, but always informative and entertaining.

Messy. This iPad version doesn't have really organised way now you swipe left now up now right now it skips 20 pages... It really bothers me they just cant add normal swipe function right to left...i m often confused where is what and its messy. Please do not over animate & keep simple things like enlarge small pics on tap.... last thing i want when i go to next page is waiting for a video to play.....i will stick to printed for the time...

Quickest 5.49 I've ever wasted.. Bought latest edition of the magazine, says there's not enough room on the iPad to download it. Theres 3GB spare according to the iPad. Screw this app. Waste of money.

Wasted my money. I've already purchased the magazine but unable to download somehow..wasted my money...give me back my money!!!

Aussie pricing????. Why oh why are Australians still getting ripped off with the pricing of these magazines. This one as well as Wired and the New Yorker are waaayyy higher priced than in the US. Come on! If you want us to use see apps at least price them the same!!!!

Good concept, terrible delivery. I don't mind paying for the mags, they are good. This software however is utter rubbish. First they release a new version of the software that doesn't bring over all the mags you purchased in the old app (and the only way to access them is if you have the old app already on your computer, you can't re-download it). So bad luck if you have spent a chunk of change on the old software mags then get a new computer. Then this new software doesn't download the mags properly - it will download a couple hundred megs, then time out, then drop you back to say 30 megs, then download a couple hundred megs, time out then drop you back to say 100 megs, and slowly repeat this process until it finally uses over 2 gigs to download a 500 meg issue. God forbid you connect your iPad to the computer and for whatever reason it deletes your gq app - lock in a few hours and a months data usage to sit at your iPad constantly clicking "resume download" every time it times out. Also, there seems to be no way to sync the mags back to computer for archiving which would at least mean only one agonizing download per issue. At least the support team get back to you ("no there is no way to restore the mags from the old app unless you happen to have the old app on a computer"). Poor execution of what is a really great concept.

Good content but file size is too big. Really like the layout and navigation but when you're downloading between 400-600MB per issue its a bit ridiculous. Honestly guys you've got a good product but no need for that large a download. Otherwise if you like the magazine then you'll like the electronic format.

myGQ needs to be reworked. First of all, you need to move the "click here to close tutorial" button for the my GQ tutorial because 1. The button takes too long to respond so you try touching it again and 2. the regular myGQ button is in the same spot on the next page so it brings you to myGQ and takes you out of the magazine. Very frustrating! You should never have to touch a button to go to the next page, I want to swipe out of the tutorial but I can't! My other peeve is that myGQ takes you out of the magazine. After you hit save, it should bring you back into the magazine! Lastly, Ads that have video should not automatically start playing unless you want to watch the ad. Especially if it's going to be a full screen video that takes over your screen. Also in the June 2013 issue, the article "The 50 Funniest Things on the Internet" really missed the mark. Why are there no links in the article to the referenced websites/videos?

Poor app. App immediately crashes. Good magazine, garbage app.

Can’t login for days. Getting run around between Apple & GQ on how to get into my Account- and access my yearly subscription that I have been paying from for years. DO NOT DOWNLOAD- NIGHTMARE & POOR/INDIFFERENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

Doesn't work!!. The app crashes within seconds of opening the app! Haven't seen the new issue at all. And really need background downloading. Pls fix ASAP!

Negative billing. Mag is presented well, but subscription is auto renewed, and it is not easy to cancel it.

New app SUCKS!. Previous version worked fine. Why update it so it doesn't save your place, doesn't stay downloaded & has not index / content feature. Truly terrible app. 1/5 is a very generous score.

Please fix!!!. The new version does not save your place in the magazine. Every time I open the app I have to go and find where I was in the magazine. This is a massive PITA. Please fix ASAP!

horrible, crashes constantly. I have been a subscriber for 3 years and I am expiring my subscription next month due to how poorly this app works. Until they fix this app I will no longer read or subscribe to GQ.

Horrible Bugs. I can't believe this is a featured app, it crashes, doesn't download mags properly, freezes, and has tons of bugs even when trying to reinstall. Please fix this

Keeps on crashing. Once it works it's great but that's only if it doesn't crash within a few minutes of opening it. Disappointing.

Nice but crashes way too frequently. Annoying to have it crash repeatedly.

Sneaky App. How the Friggin HELL do you unsubscribe from this app? I originally bought ONE issue but it forced me to buy 5 issues. Very sneaky app as it does not make it easy to unsubscribe from this.

What's with the new pricing!?!. I think the new format I'd cool. However, I had a hard enough time justifying $2.99 issues in the old app (print subscription is more around the $1 mark). $4.99 brings this out of the playing field. Why should I pay more for something costing less? Give me an option to subscribe for the same price as the print subscription and I will jump at the opportunity. Until then, you have lost a faithful customer. I hope sense eventually wins out over greed.

Crap. This is the worst app. Takes FOREVER to download a magazine. If ipad goes to sleep, it pauses. If you switch to another app, it pauses download. Same if you try and download another issue at the same time. Magazine sizes are huge and ridiculous.

Fantastic!!!. To all those criticizing this brilliantly designed, high-quality, digital rendition of one of the most entertaining magazines around: Perhaps it's time to retire the 56k modems, get WiFi and join the rest of us in the 21st century. How is 400MB an issue, when the digital edition is not just high quality, but features an amazingly entertaining and super sleek layout? You don't have to download the mag via 3G, while on the go; download it at home or in the office (took me a negligeable 2.5min) and off you go. In conclusion: please stop distorting the true rating of this brilliant app with your unfounded and illogical reviews. Thank you.

Boring & uninnovative format. I have been a GQ subscriber for years and one of the early adopters of the digital format, and I must say they are moving backwards with this with this non-interactive, flat, uninteresting, and uninnovative version. It's almost to the point I'm questioning my digital subscription. What are you doing CONDÉ NAST?

Dr. The App is broken! I can't view the May issue. 😡

Ever heard of multi-tasking?. To download one issue (600mb)! You actually have to watch the progress bar crawl - if you try to use any other app, the download pauses! GQ - fix this now!!!

Won't download issues. This app has been great when it works but it usually won't let me download latest issues

Not working. 4th time trying to download the latest issue and it keeps crashing...

Great format but lacks subscriptions. It looks great and feels great, but the rates are too high especially for someone who has/is used to subscription rates. This is a must before I can give this app more stars.

What’s up with no iPhone support. Come on guys? My 6 Plus is the perfect size for reading. I’d like to continue to ready GQ on the go, but if you don’t get iPhone support, I am going to have to drop my subscription.

A must have for any guy!. This app will change the way you read magazines! So interactive and the built in videos are a nice touch. I can't go back to reading the print version of GQ after buying the iPad subscription. $20 is well worth the price for an entire year! It is a must have, you won't regret it. Very impressive!!

Now just a PDF viewer. Terrible downgrade!. WTF happened to the GQ app?? It was the finest example of how to do a digital interactive magazine and is now just a static PDF viewer of the print edition. What a disappointment! Beyond that, it's even a terrible PDF viewer that loses your spot when you leave the app and you have to find what you were reading.

App update won't download.... Title says it all. App is currently useless.

Issues crashing now that they have been moved to newsstand..... I can see the latest issue in my Newsstand however issue crashes upon opening.... Not good!

I like it.. Some issues with download speed.

Reiterate. Echoing a previous comment, issue size is ridiculous. Some people have limited bandwidth. Other magazine apps allow you to download articles on demand... Pls implement

Love the magazine but you app SUCKS!. The offline and download features of this app sucks. Takes days to download a single issue. Called Customer Support at GQ and they blame it on apple. I've download GB's of movies faster than a single issue of GQ. The Issue visual contents does not show the pages. It is just a blank page even though the sections are all download. You can view the page when scrolling left and right but it's a blank screen on the contents page.

Crashes. Crashes on the ipad 3

excellent. easy to use and works well even on my old ipad on 5.2

Was good..... App worked when I first got it. Downloaded 1 issue without much problem and enjoyed the interactive issue very much. Now the app just crashes and doesn't last longer than 20 seconds.

App. Gq app. Why ever since this app was updated its made it worse....do you you not know what you people are doing.

This version is the worst. Worst magazine app in the AppStore. GQ, dump this app developer or have them bring back previous version

Great app for a magazine. Love this app. The videos are great and it's very easy to get access to all the material. Also, with MyGQ it's easy to keep some of the articles or pictures that we need. The only downside is that I don't understand why my grocery store gets the hard copy before I get my issue electronically. Shouldn't it be the opposite. However, still a great app.

Good start.. The app itself is great, however porting over my purchases from the previous app has not yet worked. Finally the magazine is not just a pdf of the print, definitely nice. If they fixed the porting issue it would be a five star.

Terrible App. As a loyal magazine subscriber, I was excited about this app and using it on my iPad. Sadly it crashes all the time and takes forever to download issues. I can't even open it anymore. Buyer beware: stay away!

February issue won't download. The February issue is not downloading. Not happy. What should I do?

Disappointed. I have a subscription to GQ magazine and was excited to find out I could view my subscription on my iPad for no additional cost. The magazines will not fully download though. The app keeps freezing and pausing the downloads. Once this is fixed I am sure it will be an amazing feature....until then, not so great.

Some day it would be nice.... To actually view content once the app stops crashing. Back to the drawing board Condé Nast.

GQ. However it is slow to appear for new issues...the new issue of GQ is on sale on newsstand and I still waiting for the new issue to appear on my ipad2 as I subscribe to Gq on my iPad 2

Buggy. Crashes all the time on iPad 3, now stuck in infinite loop of pop ups saying "Connect to iTunes to enable push notifications" .... Unusable!

After seeing the current paper mag on newstands for a wk I expect it 2b rdy 4 download. After seeing the current paper mag on newstands for a week now, I am disappointed that the digital version is not yet ready to download. Otherwise I would swap my usual paper mag purchases for the digital version. News and Fashion are timely are they not Conde Nast? (#HowToDamageABrand)

App keeps crashing. After iOS 6.1 update, the app keeps crashing if I'm not to connected to the Internet (wi-fi or tethering). Pls fix.

Terrible. Hasn't worked since day, crashes every time! Don't get it.

MyGQ Button is annoying. The new myGQ button is annoying: it pops up at each page turn. It really distracts from reading.

Total Rip-Off ... be careful buying any content through this!!!. Terrible app. I had purchased a number of GQ magazines through the first version of the app which sometimes would not download. When the second version came out to replace the first none of my previously downloaded purchases appeared or were recoverable. Totally ripped off! Careful!

Need to be able to download in the background. Each time I download a new issue I have to leave the app open while it downloads. It's not a big deal but it's a little annoying. Once the issue is downloaded it's a great magazine but this one thing spoils the experience.

Improve it. I love the magazine I’ve read it since years ago, but the app just sucks! And I’m gonna tell you why, you have to swipe very carefully or you’ll stay in the same page, then after you’re in the next page if you wanna go back to the bottom of the page where you were reading the app will send you to the top, there’s not mark that you’re in the last page and you are just there trying to swipe next one hahahaha app makes it hard to enjoy the reading, that’s my review.

Much improved. The new app is beautiful. Very well done. This is how magazines on the iPad should be. I would, however, like to see some sort of integration of issues bought on the old app carried over to this one...but that's nitpicking really--who, and how many times, really ever reads through an old magazine? I'll buy future issues here for sure.

Great iPad features!. The magazine as a whole is great, but the experience on an iPad is amazing. Scrollable articles, linked videos, convenient shortcuts, and all sorts of things. I am/was a mail-in subscriber and it was to my amaze that I could easily create my account and now have the option to download my previous issues for free. Once I'm done I can simply archive the issues so that it doesn't take up so much space.

Will not save partial downloads. Why make an app that will only download while the app is open and will not download in the background. It also will not save partial downloads. So in effect you must 1. have the app open the whole time the magazine is downloading (600mb+) if you do close the app not only does the download stop but it will only restart from the beginning when you reopen the app… what is up with that. This is with the latest version running on IOS5 with Newsstand. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

Your print issues available digitally!. Not sure about the previous negative reviews.. I just downloaded and successfully linked my print subscription. Worked like a charm. I now have the current as well as previous two issues available through Newsstand. Thanks GQ!

Urgh, did an idiot design this? I know I'm an idiot for buying despite bad reviews.. Each magazine is about 1/2 gig. The way they designed the app means you need to leave your iPad open for the downloading magazine…. the whole time it is downloading. Not only is 480MB a huge download, but this app does something to slow things down. Oh yea, if you do anything else with your iPad during the download… be prepared to start the download all over again. Haven't read the magazine yet, I've been trying to download for past week.

Crashes at When New Issue Available. I love the app when it works, but is crashing when I try to open it. It appears that if you are in the middle of an issue, it will not stay open if a new issue is available since the last time you opened the app. If you can manage to get to the home screen in the few seconds it stays open before crashing, it seems to refresh the available issues and work properly. Hope this helps.

Its OK. Heres the deal, its definitely really cool. Conceptually, its amazing. Its the logistics that get me. Namely, downloading in the background (if itunes/ibooks can do it, figure it out GQ), crashes a bit too much for me, decides when you will have previously downloaded mags (got to the airport and, magically, a downloaded issue was gone!? No wifi @ airport or time to redownload) Tweaks to be made...fix the small things for a more enjoyable experience

Try again. 1) Update wiped my saved downloads. I got them back, but it's annoying because I'd like to have been able to pick up on the page and issue I left off on. 2) ***WORST*** Download speed to save to device is horrible for some reason and often appears to just hang. 3) Why take away the option to bulk remove issues from device? Stupid. Also, where did the auto-download option go? 4) After I had to re-sign in, the app was too stupid to realize I was a subscriber. I still had to force quit it and reopen (after going to the website to confirm that I, in fact, still have an active subscription).

Getting Better Content but too unreliable. They've finally expanded the app to be able to download full issues, provided you are already a subscriber to the magazine. This is an excellent improvement and actually makes the app worth while. Their solution for adds and longer articles takes excellent advantage of the built in iPad gestures. If it works, that is. I have been trying for the past 10 minutes to download the latest issue and the software will not stay open for more than 10 seconds. Any attempt to navigate out of the last article I was reading to get to the Library crashes it. Changing articles crashes it. Leaving it open and untouched crashes it. Turning the app off and restarting it does nothing to improve the situation. Crash. Crash. Crash. Crash. In summation, this is an excellent app for the 10 seconds that it is actually open and functional.

Has Potential. Love the content that the app has but I'm having major problems actually downloading each issue. The download stops when i exit the app, if I were to stay in the app the whole download time I couldn't use my iPad for hours at a time. Needs to have background downloads. Also, the app has crashed multiple times. I hope they can fix this because I really want to give this app 5 stars, but unfortunately it's not there yet.

Print access. Was excited to learn I would-finally- have access to editions as a print subscriber, but is just is NOT working. Not getting access, only offers to "Buy"; not accessing the subscribers portion of the site despite repeated messages that I am signed in properly. Contact with GQ Customer Service so far has been fruitless; either they don't know what to do either, or they just aren't reading the problem because all I get in reply are 2 standard email "fix-it"s but no results. Hope they can fix this app soon because it's just NOT WORKING!

New concepts for men's clothing styles. I love this app. No need to buy magazine. The interactive videos make this subscription worth every penny. I can carry 12 months of issues and refer to any time. The quality of photos outshines the hard cover. Pictures jump off the page. Can't get that in the magazine edition. Even the audio portion adds a quality not available in print (duh). Thanks

Moving with the times. I definitely was going to make this year my last year. I've had a subscription for almost 6 years now and the last two years are still in the plastic. Now I actually will walk with the issue and read.

Well designed...but crashes constantly. I love that they have taken full advantage of this medium in building an eMagazine rather than just a PDF-like copy of the paper version. I also love that I can finally pay the same annual subscription price rather than pay per issue. The design is great, but it's a bit buggy and constantly crashes. A couple of times I have needed to delete the app and re-install it just to get it to stop crashing before I have time to read a single word. Condé Nast, please fix the crashing problem and I'd be happy to give it a much higher rating.

Latest Update to 5.0 is complete disaster. Huge step backwards from previous version which worked pretty well. New user interface is amateur-hour; very poorly done. Biggest problem for me though is that it now takes forever to download an issue (like 50x longer than before) and the app often just hangs up and stops downloading all together. Basically makes it completely unusable; I feel completely ripped off that I'm paying for this alleged "access". They need to scrap this version immediately and go back to something that actually works.

Okay. When it can download the issue, reading it is great in the app. But it constantly has issues downloading an issue (will download then delete it right away), and seems to only be able to keep a few issues at a time on the device even though I have plenty of space. I would also like to be able to make a note of which issues I've read/previously downloaded, as well as bookmark pages, but these functions aren't available. There is a 'save' like function for favorite articles but it doesn't work at all. This app needs a lot of work.

Never really a magazine reader..... I love this app! And I also love this magazine! It's so handy to just be able to access any of the issues I have downloaded! I never liked magazines before because I hated getting rid of them but then they created so much clutter! This is the best idea ever!

Great app but please bring back zoom feature. Great app i use it often and enjoy my subscription even more with it but please bring back the feature of "zoom to text". It was recently added and now it is not there. This is problematic because on my ipad mini the text looks extremely small. Also please allow background downloading. Thanks

What more could a subscriber ask for?. I love the GQ app! It is much more convenient than the paper magazine, so I actually read it more now. I would have been happy with a simple PDF version, but the developers went above and beyond to make the app more interactive and with more bonuses. Plus, now you can get the Style Guide for free. Excellent job!

Too Slow. The delay between the print edition and the digital is MUCH too long -- if anything, the digital version should come out first. They cost basically the same, and digital delivery is surely cheaper. But the digital edition doesn't seem to come out until the actual start of the corresponding month (ie. Sept. issue on Sept. 1) when the print edition is near the end of its run. It's time to wake up and smell the reality that the digital edition will outlive the print edition, or else the magazine itself will not survive.

Terrible app. Terrible customer service.. I tried to download my first issue via "All Access". The app asked me to "Confirm My Account". I entered my subscription number. The app said my account had already been registered successfully and to close the form and re-sign in. I sign out. I sign in. I end up back in a library with just the free preview. I try to download the actual issue. The app asks me to confirm my account again. An endless loop of frustration. Customer service has been awful - 2 email responses so far, neither of which addressed my issue.

Horrible. A terrible app. iPads "My GQ" is a horrific rendition of Pinterest for males. The inconsistency of the app in which the user is allowed to clip an image in one issue but find out that the same method will not work in another issue is extremely frustrating. It's also dissatisfying to find that you are only able to download up to 4 articles at a time; attempting to download a newer issue will result in the automatic deletion of another. I wouldn't waste my time using the My GQ application and really only utilize the application for trips.

No automatic background download. Great magazine, very frustrating app! To download the magazine, the app needs to be open at all times, and your iPad cannot go into sleep mode. For a 650MB magazine, that means it can take me a couple of days to download, as it doesn't always resume we're it left off either. It sometimes start the download again. This can mean that your 650MB magazine ended up using a GB of data. If data is an issue for you, give it a skip. If you want a magazine that is automatically available when it's published...give it a skip. This is a download headache of note.

Terrible App. I bought this to take with me on several long airplane flights, where this was much lighter than carrying print versions of the magazines. I downloaded a year’s worth of issues — it took FOREVER on my super duper high speed internet connection — and the app very kindly deleted them all by the time I got to the airport. It takes a very long time to download magazines, and then the app quits while I’m reading it. (Plus, it’s not always intuitive where one needs to scroll, tap or otherwise interact with the app.) If I didn’t like looking at the pictures, I’d give this app a ZERO.

For retina support, you have to uninstall. I, like many others, was put off by the purported retina display support (or lack thereof). As a previous reviewer claimed, in order to get retina support in the April issue, you must uninstall the app entirely, then reinstall. This is quite an inconvenience, butch the improved resolution is quite nice. As a side note, the ads are still low res, but who reads those anyway :)

I hate this app. I regret purchasing a subscription to this digital mag. I use the large iPad with a Magic Keyboard. I don’t want to hold my iPad while I read or use the digital keyboard when I need to type. Unfortunately, this stupid app forces portrait mode so I can’t do that. I’m not going to use this app I just paid for so I’m really annoyed. Why can’t digital content creators get with the current technology and make their apps work in the mode the user wants to use instead of forcing one that doesn’t play well with every setup? Stupid stupid app.

Why not do like WSJ and make digital free with regular subscription?. This makes no sense. So, I have been a long time subscriber of GQ. I am in interested to move from the paper mag to digital. But, as I am already paying for the paper mag, it makes no sense that I should have to pay again for the same digital version. It is sort of ridiculous. Who would pay for both? You should take a lesson from WSJ and even some other mags. I may stop my normal subscription because I am getting more of my media on my iPad now. But, I am not going to pay even more to do so. That would just be dumb.

Breaks everything. SKIP this update. I lost almost all of my issues. This update says it adds iPad retina display support, so I quickly update to it. After opening the new version, all but two issues are gone and restoring previous purchases does nothing. I open the latest issue and it is not high resolution, so I archive and redownload it to see if it needs updating too. The download returns an error and the latest issue disappears from my library, leaving me with a single issue.

Subscriptions. Subscriptions and a more intuitive interface that make it more than a PDF are great. It's still your typical magazine, but with better navigation, some videos, some interactivity, and best of all it is now more affordable.

I don't know why this isn't 5 stars. I think GQ's app is the best out there, I look forward to it each month. I'm a graphic designer and the flow, editing and extra features are just stellar. I don't mean to drool but respect is due- great job on behalf of the design team that obviously works VERY well with the editorial team. Keep up the great work! 'Brando

Looks great but takes forever to download each issue. Has the glossy look and feel of the real magazine but is painfully slow. Allow background downloads or speed it up or something. I want to enjoy it but it times out each time because the iPad goes into sleep mode. This is a problem with how CondeNast built the app since Traveler has the same interface and is also terribly slow. BusinessWeek has a wonderfully rich app and downloads in a minute. Find what they are doing and emulate it.

Ridiculous (not in a good way). Why would I pay $4.99 an issue online when I am paper subscriber for $1 an issue? I have been waiting patiently for the ability to subscribe online for a fair price for a year. Come on guys, I'm sitting here with money in hand for you as soon as you come to your senses and open up a subscription option. FYI incentivizing online subscriptions saves you a ton of money and a bunch of trees. What are you guys waiting for? Until then, buyers beware and don't waste your time with this app.

Poor Execution. The content seems to be of the quality you would expect from the publisher but, as with most newsstand apps, the actual app is frustrating. My issues won't download unless I have the app running in the foreground. Before you correct me, I have enabled automatic downloads on my iPad. If I switch apps or the screen is locked, downloading pauses. This means I have to sit and watch all 300 MB's to download if I want to open an issue. At 0.1 Mbps, this is tough. No idea why it doesn't download at my normal wifi speed of 15 Mbps.

Subscription. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why they wouldn't have a subscription option available. No one will pay 5 dollars for every episode of gq. The benefit of having it in a digital medium is not marginally better than paying 1/5 the price and keeping your paper subscription going. I don't need it on my iPad that badly that I'm going to pay 5 times as much as I currently pay by getting a hard copy.

Love reading on iPad hate this app. I love the concept of reading magazines on the iPad but this app is so broken that I end up reading GQ the old fashion way. I sent a ton of bugs and requests to GQ but they were all pretty much ignored. Every issue is like 500MB and it doesn't download in the background. Secondly even if you are in the app and you just leave the iPad be to download the issue, for some reason the download process keeps pausing, so I have to keep checking on the progress. Once you have the issue, it is great, but just getting the issue is a pain in the neck that I often give up.

Beautiful looking--Quite interactive. The app works beautifully, but it is astounding to me that it takes so long for the tablet edition to show up available through the app. The newsstand edition has been for sale via brick and mortar for a week or so and the app version is still non-existent. This has been the case for the last three issues. It should be available as a download the day it hits the stands. End of story,

No mult-tasking support. It's a shame this does not support multitasking. Downloading a 600mb file takes a while, and it would be nice to be able to other things while waiting for this to finish. Each time you switch to another app the download pauses, so at least you don't have to start the download from zero again.

(UPDATED) No longer works. This app used to work but hasn't worked for about a month now with no explanation. Only error message is "cannot access library" when signing in. They must have shut down the servers or something. (UPDATE) They finally fixed the app and it works good as new. No problems here.

Convenient. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm reading the full magazine as opposed to harvesting a bunch of old half read ones at the end of the year because of this app. Very convenient. The only thing I miss is the smell of the cologne ads that gave the print version a real sense of luxury. Any chance that the next I-pad comes with a scent feature???

Download fix needed. 400mb+ per issue, with no background downloading and downloading paused when iPad screensaver comes on/is locked/screen is off. Are you guys serious? Can not use other apps or even just let the iPad sit & download because the screensaver pauses the download. Are we supposed to just sit and watch the status bar until it finally reaches 400mb+? Seriously big oversight on part of developer. I'm glad I chose the monthly option, but I have to think that this gets fixed and soon! Otherwise app is useless, I haven't even been able to look at 1st issue.

Why bother?. Incredibly disappointing. As a longtime subscriber, I was excited about the latest version of the app. Unfortunately, the registration process took far too long and was very buggy. Once logged in, it too forever to download the latest issue. And I Once downloaded, the lack of content beyond the printed edition and the inclusion of every ad page was a kick in the pants. What's the benefit? I'd rather just wait for my issue to arrive in the mail. at least I know what I'm getting and won't have dashed expectations. Unlikely to download another issue until there are some added extras.

Great customer service. While I like GQ I had to cancel after a year because I just don’t have the money for it anymore. When talking with customer service to get it solved it was very easy and they were very helpful.

GQ App: leading cause of strokes among men age 18-35.. This is the worst app in the universe. More than a year into having it on my iPad, I have yet to read a single issue on it. Never connects, frozen home page, whatever the deal, I can't believe they would promote a product like this. When 35% of users give your app a 1-star, that is a UXD disaster and quite frankly a media company like Conde Nast should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for setting such a low bar for their product. It's sad when, Hey, at least we're not an airline or a cable company" is the standard.

High maintenance download. Wanted to download full issue before my 6 hour flight-- gogo inflight is patchy. Download of the dec issue was intermittent and stops when my iPad goes to sleep. Had to keep checking download status as I was packing. It's been three hours and it's only 450mb out of 750 has been downloaded. I might as well buy the printed copy from the Hudson News at the airport because by the time I get there I doubt the issue is finished downloading. Plus I don't have to stop reading when the "turn off electronic devices including reading tablets" light turns on.

Background Downloading?. So I love my GQ, always excited for a new article and like to read it almost immediately. However, the app doesn't seem to passively download new issues overnight like it should, says Apples advertisements for newsstand magazines. I looked into it, and from what I read it is up to the app designers/ publishers to make their app compatible with background downloading. So until I read otherwise or see how this can be fixed, inset ,y rating at 2 stars because I have to sit and stare at the download bar, can't close the app or even let the ipad lock or it will pause the download. When I can wake up in the morning with my article automatically ready to be read, I will bump my rating back up to 5 stars. Thanks.

One star is too many. If I could leave zero stars - or even minus stars - I would. This app is a total ripoff, as is the New Yorker and Allure apps. Conde Nast uses the false promise of a free iPad edition to sucker you into subscribing to the print edition. Then the app won't work, so you're stuck with the "Gutenberg" version. When you contact customer "support" - what a misnomer! - they give you the runaround or promise to get back to you and forget about you. I feel betrayed and cheated by Conde Nast, who has misrepresented their magazines and their apps. Apple should pull these nonfunctioning apps and require Conde Nast to refund the money to those of us they've hornswoggled.

No background downloads?!. I love the experience of reading GQ on my iPad, but since each issue is about 500mb, can we please figure out a way to download in the background? In order to get an issue to download, I have to turn off auto-lock--if the iPad goes to sleep the download is stopped--and keep the app open until its done. It's bulky and slow, and there has to be a better way.

Cheap and convenient. I don't know why everybody's talking about, I download the app I'm only digitally subscribed to the magazine, I don't have any problem downloading the content (it takes about a mint or tow depending on how many pages). If anything I wish they make the pages interactive with links to stores and prices of items shown on the pages, and also the option to zoom in. Other than that I think the app is great and subscription is very affordable !!

Good Interface, AWFUL Downloading. There has to be a better way to get these downloaded. You literally cannot use your iPad while these download, if anything interrupts the application you go right back to zero. How can every other app allow background download, but one of the largest selling men's magazines can't figure this out? Get a developer, seriously.

Very buggy. Very disappointing application. No wonder all these print magazines are going out of business. Can't adapt with the technology. I have to keep re-installing the application in order to download the current issue and I have a problem every time. In addition, when I setup the digital edition the first time I had to create 3 different accounts because every time I created an account it would error out and not recognize the account when I tried to log in.
