Terrible
Oct 31, 2019 Would rate with no stars, but will not let me submit without entering one star! Cannot see an entire page because of the lower feed of pages and when I tried to send the page to myself, I didn’t get the page just an ad for the app, I have the app!!more -
Winter 2020
Jan 3, 2020 I want to tell my knitter friends...DO NOT PICK UP THIS EDITION! You will be racing to you nearest LYS to get materials for every design. The title is WINTER FASHIONS TO LOVE, and it is true! From the front page to the back cover I saw projects and yarn I longed for. 😍 Every turn of a page I sighed. This magazine is worth every penny.more -

Getting worse, much worse
Nov 13, 2018 This latest version of the app is HORRIBLE. Gone is the convenient ‘editions’ view where you can see pages showing tiles of the magazine covers and their availability and select one. Now we have something called ‘magazines’ that forces you to scroll through the covers ONE AT A TIME (with several of them being blank because they take too long to load). There are probably about 60 magazines here. One at a time. Really? What a waste of time! I’m better off going to my bookshelf. And we can no longer scroll through the magazine. Now we must look at a menu of articles and open them, ONE AT A TIME. Are you kidding me? There’s a huge banner ad at the top of the main page. Once you’ve seen it, what’s the point of keeping it there? It just gets in the way of what you’re trying to do, which is look at virtual magazines. Especially if we already own the advertised book. It used to be a pleasure to browse through the virtual magazines on my tablet, but this is torture. Back to the hard copies! I’m trying to think of at least one positive thing to say, but honestly, all of the convince and appeal is gone. Is it possible to install an old version? VK, the least you could do is allow users to select the view that suits us so that we could use the app without it getting in the way of what we’re trying to accomplish. Please be respectful of our time.more -
Broken and unresponsive tech and customer support teams
Dec 1, 2020 After finding out the fall issue is available but not in the app, I submitted a ticket to the tech support team. After two weeks and several follow ups, there has been no response or movement on the ticket. I also tried to come tact Vogue customer support and have received no answer. Very disappointing because Vogue is a reputable brand. I will be canceling my subscription. UPDATE - 1 Dec 20: Now that my subscription expired, I’ve lost access to issues I had under my 1 year subscription. And after two months, my ticket finally got an answer but I’ve been told to contact the publisher for this latest issue. My advice, subscribe only to the print version if you like this magazine because their electronic subscriptions are worthless unless you keep renewing, which I will not.more -
Bad user interface
Dec 14, 2019 This app has the worst user experience of any of the magazine apps I have used. I have been a subscriber since it was first introduced, and the changes made a year ago have made it incredibly buggy and hard to use. The article navigation doesn’t work, the pages are unavailable in offline mode (even when it says available offline), and there is no option to view the pages side by side, meaning that half the time the text is describing something you can’t see. In addition, they have now made it impossible to export or print any of the instructions. Which for a magazine of knitting patterns is really inexcusable.more -
Think Twice - Unless you don’t mind waiting months for an issue!
Jan 13, 2021 I used to love this app. I would get my issue as soon as it would come out reading it before the print edition was out. Now it takes at least a month after the print issue is available to get the digital copy. And there is no support. My first email was never read if the reply was any indication. It was over a month before I received a second reply and by then I had my issue. The current issue came out weeks ago and I’m still waiting. I canceled my subscription and may do hard copy instead. Or not at all.more -
Went from OK to horrible
Nov 22, 2020 I used to use this app regularly Then it was ‘updated’ to something horrible. I have to be a current subscriber to even SEE my past issues. And you are asked to make a second log in to Maz. The app can’t find my subscription. And Maz has one tech to ‘help’. The digital copies now show up WEEKS after the mailed issues. And those are just the issues with initial log in. Once in the app you can no longer see past issues without ‘scrolling’ through covers that don’t load quickly.more

Useful only as a preview to hard copy
Feb 16, 2020 I like using this app to see new issues before the hard copy arrives in my mailbox. Otherwise it’s pretty useless. You can’t print anything other than little snippets of text and the links in the resource tab are broken (stitchionary, stitch workshop, how to, etc). It seems pretty clear that nobody at Vougue is using this app nor cares about customer service.more -
Switching
Oct 10, 2018 Vogue apps on my iPad and I have purchased several of the older magazines. Since I’ve only been knitting a couple of years I missed them when the 1st came out. I have no trouble accessing them on my iPad or on the phone I had until 2 weeks ago but I can’t access them on this phone.more

Loses purchases, poor tech support
Mar 13, 2020 The Vogue Knitting app denied access to an issue I already purchased, and had even downloaded to my iPad. I tried their Restore Purchases setting, which did not work. I used their contact form to email tech support, explaining that I had already used Restore Purchases. Five days later, I received an email telling me how to use Restore Purchases (which I had told them I had done), and stating that if that didn’t work they couldn’t offer any assistance. The patterns are good, if you can access them.more
What’s Groovy
I wish this app would let me print patterns. I also liked the app before they changed it.

What’s Subpar
As a follow-up the my original review—do not subscribe to this magazine. You will not receive what you purchase. I have tried to contact them via email, phone, message through the app, and their Facebook page. They do not respond. The current issue of the magazine has been released, and even though I have paid through 7/21, I cannot access it. The developer has been responsive, but they direct me back to the magazine. Do not waste your money on this, because you will receive nothing!
Vogue Knitting Magazine announced earlier this year that they would be cutting back to two issues per year. In view of the current economic situation, I completely understand this. However, I would have appreciated an email from the magazine letting me know about this. I had to Google it online to find out what was happening. Now I am unable to access the new issue which is just come out for fall 2020. I get no response to my questions about this. My subscription is paid through July 2021. This should not be happening.. Buyer beware.
