Read 20 Customer Service Reviews 😠💢

4.7 out of 5
Not Read For Prime Time

I'm able to setup the account but all I can download are old issues from several months ago, not the current issue. It's also buggy when trying to delete old issues that are available for download. it simply doesn't work. Going to stick with paper version for now.

Not working

I have a print subscription and there is a link to convert and view the iPad edition. However, I always get an error message when trying to do this. Have been on the phone with customer service and awaiting a reply. It's a nice magazine, but wish I could make it work on the iPad. When and if they get this corrected, I will review again and hopefully give a much higher star rating.

Buggy app

CondéNastTraveler is truly awful and the developers should be ashamed of putting out such a lousy piece of software.

I've experienced numerous problems since installing CondéNastTraveler , but the latest episode is the last straw. I've made numerous attempts to download the May edition to no avail. When I tap on the 'Get Latest Tablet Edition' it directs me to sign up either using my subscriber number or my address. Going either route yields the same result: error, you're already a subscriber (duh!) and should sign with the CondéNastTraveler . Uh, I AM signed in!

One bright note is customer care has been fairly responsive. I've emailed them three times in the past 24 hours and the always got back to me quickly. Unfortunately their latest suggestion to resolve the problem didn't work. I'm convinced it's just another quirk in this God-awful piece of software.

Hate this app!

Impossible to get your magazine online because it is impossible to sign in. I have reset the password, tried to sign in and still get messages that the authentication failed. I give up! Both on CondéNastTraveler and when my subscription expires, I give up on that as well. Too much wasted time with this terrible software. The magazine is not worth it.

highly disappointing, a complete failure and the worst customer care ever

I subscribed last August, jointly with Vanity Fair.
I never had access and still do not have access to the digital edition. I have done everything (link account subscription, delete and download several times CondéNastTraveler ) but nothing happened.

I wrote email 10 times to the Customer Care and they never replied.
I called 3 times the Customer Care number but they could not care less. They were vague and told me they would call me back … but nothing happened.

I am going to cancel both the subscriptions.

Still doesn't work

I have subscription to the paper magazine and wanted to try the free access to the tablet edition. This is the second time I tried it and it is still buggy. After signing on, tried to download one of the magazine editions, but it got stuck during download and couldn't finish it. After that all I got was errors (file not found, couldn't connect to the Internet, etc.). The one I was trying to download was 500mb, which seems rather large.

Its just pdfs of the magazine pages

Terrible app, you can't select or search text, the articles aren't contained in a single section (and there's 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 can't 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

Stinks!

Got my subscription and was all excited to be able to read issues on my iPad while traveling. Not so far! CondéNastTraveler stinks. It won't let me out of the screen I am in, no matter what I do. So I am "stuck" on this page. I've closed, reopened, shut off - only thing let is to delete and reinstall CondéNastTraveler and start all over. Really not liking CondéNastTraveler. Haven't had other magazine apps be this wonky.

Cannot Connect to Server

C'mon folks, you've got a bunch of really po'd subscribers out here that cannot get what we're paying for. Where is your server, in Outer Mongolia? Actually these days a server in Outer Mongolia would probably be working fine. Where's Wendy Perrin when we really need her? Actually, with all the people out there unemployed surely there's a position open in your corporate for "make sure the server is working before you roll out CondéNastTraveler ."

Difficult to navigate through pages

I subscribe to a number of e magazines . None of them is as difficult as this mag to navigate thru the pages . It just goes all over the place. It takes you away from a good reading experience. Why make it so complicated ?

Pre update was better

Love the magazine but I read it from an IPad Pro and the is no way to read in landscape view. Very annoying! This is a standard iPad function that needs to be added in. There are articles with small print that are nearly impossible to read without the zoom feature. The old saying “that if it’s not broken don’t fix it” certainly applies.

Meh

While Condé Nast Traveler certainly has a fantastic product in its content, its app is lackluster. Firstly, it has not been updated for the iPad Pro, meaning that the magazine is not displayed on the entire screen, but rather in the middle with black bars around the edges. Secondly, CondéNastTraveler does not have functionality that is all but required. CondéNastTraveler is effectively a PDF scan of each page of the magazine, instead of being a truly interactive experience.

It would be great if Condé Nast could look at some of their competitors with great applications and take a hint from them to make CondéNastTraveler as great as their magazine!

Could Be Better

My number one issue with CondéNastTraveler is that the picture doesn’t rotate! It extremely annoying considering that’s a standard feature for iPad apps. As a result, whenever using CondéNastTraveler I have to detach from the keyboard to read it. It also needs a zoom feature to assist with reading considering the font size is small.

Good app

There is no free lunch. Even at a Gala Buffet, one has paid to get there, and with CondéNastTraveler, one does it with time. The magazine 'app' is performing how it advertises. The photos are rich and inviting. The information- adequate. It is a bit of a delay for the downloads, but the quality of the product is worth the wait.

Worked For Me!!

I'm a print subscriber and just got a mini for Christmas. I downloaded the last 3 issues and yes, it took me a whole 2 minutes to download each issue over WiFi (no biggie), but it was completely worth it! The image quality is great. I only wish I could zoom in on the articles when I need to because the font can be too small sometimes.

It works if you follow instructions

If you don't close CondéNastTraveler after activating, then click Library, then sign in, it won't recognize you and your purchased issues you get as a print subscriber. Otherwise, It's a great app. I also wish that it had the ability to enlarge the font. Really like the layout view so I don't have to look at ads, just straight to articles.

Great App!

CondéNastTraveler 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.

The truest travel magazine, guide and inspiration

The online magazine is suburb, complimenting the print edition. It's easy to navigate and in stunning resolution.

Awesome app!

Planning on traveling the globe next year and this magazine is wonderful in helping me plan my trips! App works wonderfully for me and I've had no problems as of yet. I browse on my way to work.

download 1time, read multiple

Yes, it takes a while to download each month's copy, but you download it once and can flip through it whenever you want without any waiting again. Interactive pages and articles are set up very well. Love it! Just be patient with initial download.
