Hollywood Reporter for iPad App Reviews

A LOT OF PROBLEMS

I agree with everything that Uday Chopra say: "Im giving this 1 star not cause this is a bad app. Infact it can be a great app but for some reason I cant seem to download the purchased issue. The app quits every single time I try to download. I have even rebooted my ipad but to no avail."

Doesnt work!

Downloaded it and doesnt work. Nothing happens. WTF!

Download problems

Has a tendency to crash/lock up during downloads, and there is no way to resume the download without uninstalling the app, which seems kind of crazy

Hollywood Reporter

This is a great app. It works very well on my iPad. Now I can enjoy the Hollywood Reporter anywhere I go. Plus now I have access to many extra features which I did not have before. This is great!

Overall good but...

Good content, works well on ipad but cant read horizontally which is how I enjoy reading on the ipad which is the only reason I will not renew. Fix this and Id subscribe.

Excellent

Absolutely love this app. My fav without a doubt!

Good news

The free news section is a great way to stay on top of whats going on.

All about the content

Works well. Stable on my iPad Air. UI is minimal and intuitive. Content is great.

Best feature missing!

The old app had a "breaking news" type page that was updated throughout the day, with reader responses. This feature seems to not be included now. As for loading and accessing new issues, this new app is an improvement. Just miss the timely update feature!

Beautiful Content

Love the look and feel of this app. I have experienced the difficulties some of you have. Works perfectly here. Love the perk of getting my digital content for free for being a print subscriber.

I liked the old app...

I love THR, but the new app keeps logging me out making me re login in order to view the issues Ive subscribed to read.

Love the mag, hate the app

Definitely my fave magazine but this new app bites. Every page must be enlarged to read so your messing with pages the entire time. Its impossible to relax and just read. When you go back later to pick up where you left off, the app always resets itself to the beginning and you have to search for the last page you were on. I liked the daily report this magazine had in the old app but thats gone now. Why mess with a good thing. Order the actual magazine instead and get it in the mail. Or hopefully they fix this.

Its better but.....

Seems improved however I occasionally am asked to pay for an issue when Im a subscriber!

Poor Performance

This app doesnt work very well. I havent been able to access any weekly issue since June 7, 2013. The customer service/technical support is very slow. I dont get return phone calls and the solutions they email me dont work. When I email them, they take several days to respond.

Issues in newsstand to purchase before downloadable

I have a subscription and yet the issues show up in my library 4 days after they are in the store- I could pay for the issue, but not get it as part of my sub- emailed support at the Hollywood reporter and they blame apple - apple blames Hollywood reporter - dont subscribe until this is worked out

THR

I love the THR app it adds so much more to my print subscription. It works great.

Solid Magazine App

So far, one of the better publication apps I have encountered. Keeps me tapped in when I am on the go and is easy to access. Love the direction the magazine has been taking lately.

Interesting & Fun to Read!

You will enjoy this app.

Some technical issues

Overall I love the content and design of the THR app BUT almost every week I am not able to download the new issue on Thursday. The current issue will not become available in my library until days later despite troubleshooting. Until this issue is fixed I have to give this app 2 starts.

Really need to allow downloading in the background.

Mostly great app. Love the layout of the articles and ease of use. The one major problem is the inability to download issues in the background while using other apps or while the ipad is in sleep mode. The ipad naturally goes to sleep when Im waiting for a download and that stops the download. Every other app I use has no problem running or downloading in the background and that functionality would make this app perfect.
