Hollywood Reporter for iPad App Reviews

Cant get it to work. Cant get it to respond. Cant get it to send a password to the email on file. Cant even open a new online account, since my email address is already taken.

I am behind getting my issues in print so I thought I will catch up by using the app. Not working! It will not let me read any issues without trying to charge me. What the heck! THR I have some great developers I can suggest.

I have had all of the problems as the other reviewers . I cant open app even after purchasing subscription. Today I bought a single magazine but I cannot scroll the content.i like the magazine but the app does not function so I keep wasting my money hoping it will get better. FIX THE APP!

Im a print subscriber, app doesnt let me sign in. I type the user/password correctly, hit the big red sign in button, but nothing. Lame.

If you read a news story, there is no back button to get back to a previous article and no search button if you want to find it again. If you click the main news icon, it doesnt go to the main news page, it just sticks to the page youre on and you have to go to the subscribe page, then click on the news page. Very buggy app. This does not have the quality youd expect from THR...

If I could give a minus five stars rating, I would. I have been a subscriber of the print edition for the last five years. In an effort to be more "green," I downloaded the app. Unfortunately, the app has not worked for over 18 months. I cannot even sign in even though I use my correct email and password. It is amazing that an entertainment company cannot get a simple app to work properly.

This app is very ambitious, with lots of graphics and clickthrus, but it crashes constantly. Really, the buggiest app Ive discovered among major news organizations, and thats saying something....

What a joke. Does not update properly. Zero stars.

I love your publication, please fix this! This is my third review. I paid for a full year and every time a new issue comes out it wont download. Ive re-loaded the app repeatedly. There must be someone you can hire to create an app that works! This is ridiculous! I guess digital subscribers arent that profitable yet, so who cares if the app doesnt work. Thanks

App is garbage, cant sign in, cant access any issues. Its been terrible for awhile, yet no fix in sight. DONT DOWNLOAD UNTIL THEY FIX IT.

Does Apple only accept apps developed by brain injured squirrels? Like the New Yorker app, this one is absolutely worthless except as a way to make you frustrated and irritable. I want to like digital newspapers and magazines, but I have yet to find any on the Apple Store that actually work. The Hollywood Reporter is just the most recent example of yet another app that promises so much and delivers nothing.

The title of this review says it all. Im a print subscriber and the chances of my successfully signing in are the same as having a smash hit movie. Worse, tech support is inept and slow to respond. Not worth the trouble. Too bad THR isnt willing to invest in this app to resolve the problems.

I didnt download, it showed up with some other updates. I cannot delete it, and I am not a member! JUNK OR SPAM, you decide.

Ive been reading this magazine for a couple of years now. If you want to know what goes on behind the scenes in the entertainment business then this is the magazine for you. I highly recommend!

Constant issues downloading issues. They never prepare for the new iOS so you always miss weeks of issues as they try to play catch up. Once again with iOS 9, they dropped the ball. Great magazine but beyond frustrating trying to download.

Other magazines work much better. Try The Economist. That should be a model for THR.

Every once in a while I open this to see if I can get it to work. I used to get to a screen where it would reject my subscription info. Now it wont even open. Shame, this is a good rag.

With OS updates...Im missing digital issues.

Only orients one way, clunky.

THR for iPad is a perfect blend for the readers of the magazine who are looking for different things. Every week users who want to subscribe to all issues have the option. Users who read select issues that appeal to them have the option of purchasing individual issues. Also users like me who are interested in day to day real time content have the option to access the application and use it for that reason only. Upon launching the app for the first time you asked how you would like to use the app which sets a great tone. Being a iPad specific application THR is beautiful to look at and easy to read with high quality images. The menu interface is broken into three main sections. One is the magazine library where you can browse, purchase and manage your magazine selection. The second is the news section where you can navigate, read and share real time day to day articles concerning the industry. The third is the FAQ section which is designed to be helpful to those users who want to know how the application works regarding magazine management, purchase questions and much more. Every major magazine publication that has a iPad application should take note of how THR offers its content catering to the loyal subscribers, select readers and those who want access to free day to day or weekly content.
