Condé Nast Traveler app good for
Very glad to see CN Traveler finally has an app for their magazine. Its a lovely feature for subscribers and one Ive come to expect after the successful launch of others such as GQ.
The details and clarity are wonderful and my only complaint is that it doesnt yet have landscape functionality, only portrait. Also, so far only the Hot List is available, but they note that soon monthly issues will be available on the app. I look forward to it!
I am a subscriber to the magazine. I am supposed to have free access to the digital copy. After downloading the app and registering, I found the only part of the app that worked was the "buy a subscription" or "buy an issue". Therefore, there is no free access to anything.The "tech support" is by email question only. I am using an iPad 2 and I have the most recent software. T
Dont buy the paper subscription with any expectation of getting the digital version free.
Some bad moments
Unable to reset my password (says cannot connect even though Im clearly connected). Nowhere to get support; link just dumps you into the website which has nothing. Aw well, guess Ill dump it.
Terrible app, you cant select or search text, the articles arent contained in a single section (and theres no table of contents ). The pages are clipped top and bottom by the margins and the layout and text size require you to keep zooming to read it, you cant set the text size.
It is honestly easier to just read the print version
This is an embarrassing product when you compare it with the new yorker app also owned by conde nast
Ive tried 4 times to download the current edition and its so slow with such a large file size that its still been unsuccessful. Wish I could get my money back and definitely should have read the other reviews. Silly me - whod a thought that such a prominent and classy publication would fail so miserably on the digital front.
The app downloaded and installed perfectly. As a subscriber, i downloaded the Dec 11 issue with no issues. Maybe some people have no patience. I let it do its thing and it works great.
I CAN get the print subscription converted to my iPad, BUT, then, it has been nearly impossible to download the magazine it self completely.
First, it is slow. And , I tried with three different Internet connections. REAL slow.
Second, so far, it never downloads completely. As soon as you screen light turns off, it stops. THEN, it begins again from maybe 50 mb of a 499 mb download. No matter how far it got before.
What pages it did download are gorgeous!

I have wasted over an hour and it still doesnt work. Also thinking of cancelling print subscription. Hard to believe they cant get this right.
