Esquire Magazine US App Reviews

I have been a subscriber to the digital edition for six months. Ive only ever been able to download one issue. The FAQs dont help and nothing I try helps. Money down the drain!

This new version is awful for downloading the issue. Im home on wifi with a full signal and it still wont download the whole issue - its been 5 minutes. Also bad for offline use when I want to read the article on the train - theres no content to read.

the new version is impossible. Download never completes and starts over and over. Please go back to the old version!!!

Dont do that. I want to listen to what I want to listen to while Im reading.

If youre planning to read Esquire on a plane or on your commute, youre now out of luck, as the app no longer downloads the whole issue. It downloads a small lo-res file then every single page needs to download. I love the magazine, but unfortunately the digital version changes dont fit with my needs and Im canceling.

I have subscribed to Esquire for consistently for about a decade (along with other magazines, Rolling Stone, GQ, etc...) and I have never been more disappointed than I have been with my experience of attempting to read this magazine from their iPad App. Its sad because content wise I find them to be one of the best butt your content matters very little if you cant read their magazine. I switched over to a digital subscription 2 years ago and since switching have had nothing but problems; unlike their counterparts at GQ where not only do you get free digital access with you print edition (not the case the Esquire) but I have never had an issue with being able to view my most recent issues. Can resolve before they lose anther subscriber.Very disappointing.

Easy reading, good information.

As smart phones and tablets have hit storage capacities of 128GB+ I am disappointed that the app now does a basic low-res outline and then insists on downloading each page separately. It has gotten better with wi-fi access on planes and some commuter trains but a full download would be preferable. So 3 out of 5. Change back to a full download it will be 5 out of 5.

Cant believe we cant read offline. Big step back for this app. I will give zero stars if possible.

How can anyone think no online is a good idea? I have a wifi only iPad and dont always have a connection. It also makes things just generally feel less fluid.

Love the interface, even free content is great to go through

Love this app and love the digital edition. Crisp, clear, and full of extra stuff that you get with just a tap on the screen. Not to mention no clutter. Its obvious a lot of work goes into giving each page another 1 or 2 pages of additional material, not just to show we can, but to add to the experience.

Even after many attempts including removing it and restoring the app I can’t get past a blank screen that just says “Esquire” There appears to be no opportunity of receiving support. A complete waste of money, which is a pity as I have really enjoyed the magazine having been a subscriber to the print magazine for 30 years and the digital for about 4 years

Come on Apple - ban this app. It doesnt download and there is no help available.

What is the point of this app? I have to download it every single time. No internet on your iPad? Cant read anything. Best you can do is save to a third party app, Instapaper or Pocket. Garbage.

I was trying to download the new April 2016 issue when the app kept asking me to purchase it, even though I have an iTunes subscription. I followed the FAQ suggestion and deleted the app then re-downloaded it. I clicked restore purchases then ... Only two issues from 2012 populated. All my issues from the last 5 years are gone. Not happy.

My subscription in the Apple Store confirms that Im subscribed through June, but the app wont recognize this and wants me to pay for the April issue? Nope. Really poor user experience.

Lovely interface when the app works. iTunes wouldnt recognize my subscription and could not restore purchases. Purchases restored in 24 hours thanks to Hearst customer support. Thanks.

I was about to post a negative review, highlighting the same issues as other complainants. Upon opening the app today, all was back as it should be. All previous purchases were restored, and I could download the April edition. Kudos for fixing the glitch so quickly.

The magazine is always great. However I want the entire issue when I download it... Sitting on a flight with blurred pages defeats the point of downloading to my iPad for a flight. A waste of my time and money. Fix this partial download thing and its back to 5 stars.
