Vogue Knitting Reviews

While the content is great, the APP is horrible

I don’t blame the Vogue writers for this .. I blame whoever is in charge of making sure we have a decent app. This is one incredibly unfriendly. Let’s start with the login is not in any way connected to any other Vogue knitting accounts. Then, let’s move onto how unhelpful it is to look through their library and view the mags to see if one might be useful. THEN let’s move on to finding your magazine if you do make the mistake of purchasing one. There’s no “My library” or My purchases .. the only way I can find a mag I’ve bought is to look through ALL the mags and see if one looks different. THEN let’s move onto how confusing the UI is .. the mags that you have not purchased are the ones with the cloud download icon. Or, mayby you like to play Russian Roulette with the 1 minute browse time that you get to look through a mag .. whenever that may be available, who knows .. because, of course, the app tells you nothing about that. And ... 1 minute? Seriously? When you DO get a mag, well good luck using it anyway .. you cannot download it into your notebooks (which is horrible, since that is where I take notes when reading a pattern) .. I can’t even find a print button. They are so worried about their IP that they have rendered the app useless. Even though I bought a magazine, I’d rather loose it and get this app off my machine that keep the app for the one (and only) magazine that I have purchased. WAKE UP VOGUE! You’re not living in the 90’s anymore.

Crashing

Very frustrating app. It crashes constantly, making it impossible to use for knitting. And I agree with the other reviewers that they should allow a look into the issue so you can decide if you want to purchase it. I also would appreciate the ability to bookmark a pattern or article I want to refer to at a later date. The new app is even worse! Can’t navigate between pages not read the magazine cover to cover. Very frustrating indeed. Worthless. Hope they fix this!

Too bad

Lost a pattern and bought the app thinking it would allow me to follow the pattern in the app. No ability to mark the charts. Printing from the app didn’t help, as the page truncates, and the whole chart is not available. Grrrrr.

No free patterns

Whats the point has pdf but dont don’t download pdf

Poorly sustained purchases

oooo@oooo

Subscribed to Vogue Knitting for some time but when the App updated all my downloaded issues were lost. Don’t recommend this App. Every time I tried to post this the nickname was taken. Went through many to get it posted. Surprise, surprise. Wonder if it would have been as difficult if my score was 5 stars.

Love the patterns, not the new app

The newer app isn’t as user friendly as the older one, I don’t enjoy my viewing experience nearly as much. Where are the hot links? Full view of the knits? No advertising when I first launch the app?

Rotten app

For a large corporation that has received lots of money from me in the past, this is THE WORST app I have ever tried to use. In the past I have enjoyed using the VOGUE patterns, but now I intend to avoid ALL of their patterns, even the magazine versions. I am quite shocked that VOGUE would offer such a frustrating and useless application to their long-time fans.
