Aa Grapevine Magazine App Reviews

Much better improvement from the last version. Great new features and now it has audio!

I lost my subscription!!

I can access my GV subscription on the website but can’t log onto the app. My email for tech assistance went unanswered. Seems to be every subscriber’s problem. Get it fixed! Been this way for months.

I purchased a subscription but now I can't access anything. It keeps asking me to login. What Is going on?

Audio consistently does NOT play. For safety issues in the car one link should play the entire issue or at least a section.

Not many complaints. Would be nice if it picked up where I left off, but otherwise outstanding!

It takes forever to load, but will load. You have to select the issue you want to read and have to manually navigate to the page you were last reading. Every. Single. Time. It should remember where you were last reading just like the other e-readers do. If you charge money for an app, it should at least have some respectable functionality.

Audio doesn’t work when phone goes to sleep. Called grapevine and nobody seems to know what is going on.

Purchased a year's subscription in April. In August, they updated the app and have locked me out of my purchase. When I contacted them to straighten it out, felt suspiciously like a phishing exercise.

Bought this twice pay for a year subscription I thought next month I couldn't log in to the up confusing and frustrating... hope you can improve the friendliness of this product Alberto.V

Since the recent "bug fix", I can not read any of the past issues, the pages seem to be in hiding. I loved the app, but hate the "fix"!!!! Need help!

Last update caused lost subscription-information. No response from emails to publisher. Great magazine, but app needs help...

This is a great way to read the magazine on your iPad.

YAY! straight forward app that works great and helps me stay connected to the magazine. Also, thanks for the free audio stories Grapevine!

It was great until this update. Then it would not recognize or remember my subscription. I called them and had to send in a screen shot (or email) showing my subscription and also tell them my mailing address. Then they emailed me a password and the app works great. Still, it was a pain.

Is it supposed to give an error every time I correctly enter my credentials (which work on the browser)? It will say it is loading issues, then it will say there is an authentication error. Same credentials used in browser with effective login. Please help.

I paid for the subscription through the App Store, now it won’t allow me access.

No app exists in a universe all its own. Before designing again, look at some of the truly outstanding magazine apps like Vanity Fair and Flipboard. You compete with these. These are easy to use and a pleasure to look at. Take note of form and function. The images on the cover gallery are uselessly small, unreadable. There entire pages of text that cannot be viewed on a phone without pinching and scrolling. These functional issues make it difficult and frustrating to access content. To start the redesign, employ “responsive design” which causes pages to automatically reformat to fit the specific screen - without pinching, sliding or scrolling. No text template remnants like “Cover 1.” No endlessly scrolling blank pages with a padlock icon. Where free content ends, offer a simple invitation with an actionable hyperlink: “More? Subscribe here.” Sadly out of date in form and function. The entire app should be scrapped and reworked.

The grapevine app needs some work. I would not pay 31 dollars a year for this app. A full version 2.0 rebuild needs to be done. More older issue need to be added to the available issue. User ought to be able to create an account without having to enter payment information. Take advantage of the current technologies. If it is a utilization issue. Then upgrade your severs. This app is terrible.
