FORTUNE Magazine App Reviews

76 add

iOS 8

Im giving this 3 stars, WSJ also doesnt work well under iOS 8. Please fix the bugs.

Cant view new issues

I can see my old purchased issues. But cant view new issues. Also I reloaded the app on my iPhone. Can only view new issues on the reinstalled app. No old issues I purchased. App is not good at all!!!!

Not working on the latest version of iOS

What happened guys? The app just stopped working all of a sudden. Very annoying!!

IT NO LONGER WORKS

Since the latest IOS update on my iPhone 6 plus the app is no longer working. Please fix.

Bad iphone launch

Why is the font so small on the iPhone version - do they really think that tiny font is acceptable - do they really think Im going to pinch and zoom to read articles - check out the vanity fair iPhone app to see how to do a magazine app right!

No memory of last read page

App does not remember last read page. I always end up back at the cover, instead of getting back to the page read last when reopening the app to continue reading.

Poor App

Fortunes app is difficult to use. First, one must sign in every time a new issue is ready to download. Secondly and most significant, once the issue is ready to read, navigating around the issue is not easy. Sometimes you are scrolling up and down, and other articles you scroll from side to side. If Fortune wants to improve, they need only to look at Bloomberg/Business Week; that is a great app.

VERY BAD APP - unreadable on iPhone 6 Plus

I use to read the magazine on my iPad. This app was never up to par, but it was readable. With arrival of iPhone 6 Plus, it becomes obviously that Fortune do not care at all about their digital addition (the same reviews are all over kindle store). The boxes with small text size is useless for any reasonable reading. I wonder if there was any testing before the app was released - not likely. I also question how/why the app with no quality is certified for Apple Store... Fortune need to look at digital addition like VF, if they want to be around. If there is no update in a near future they will lose subscribers - my auto renewal option was turned off before writing of this review :)

Bait n Switch...

... all this is is a portal to buy for paid versions. Deleted.

20th Century App

It is easier for my son to hit an icon to play games than it is for me to get access to Fortune on the iPad Air. Just give me a simple home page for icon to tap and read. When my hard copy subscription ends, disconnect me and advise. It is the 21st century, catch up!!!

Cool layouts. Bad accessibility.

Have to pay to read older editions from earlier than your subscription date.

Great for iPad or iPad mini

Reading Fortune on the iPad or the iPad mini is better than having a copy of the magazine in from of you. Beautiful artwork and it runs great and once you have a magazine downloaded you dont need a network connection to view the magazine. I would give a five star rating except for the fact that this application is does not have a version optimized to a small screen like iPhone 6. However I actually can read it even on my iPhone 6, although the font is a little small on that device.

Terrible.

Doesnt work on iPad 2 at all. Constant prompting to enable notifications even when they are enabled. Cant even close the app, requires hard reset. Needs to be fixed. Guess Ill stick to reading it on paper

Great content but Zero star app

Only reason I gave 1 star is because there is nothing lower. App is buggy, does not adjust to change in iPad location, and poor navigation. If the content itself were not so good, I would just un-install it.

Love it!

I simply love reading Fortune on my iPad or iPhone. Its one f the best e-magazine that I know of, even better than the print copy because of all the videos and interactive features.

Great...when it works

Reading is great. Downloading is horrible. Why cant I queue more than one article to download??? This is even more important given how the app randomly deletes issues that have been previously downloaded. Also seems like app has to be open for download to complete. Huh???

Cant get through the password reset process

In a loop.

Veryfrustrstratedwithfortune

Simply atrocious. Stuck in endless loop asking me to connect to iTunes to enable push notification even though I dont want notificAtions and have turned them off. Also very hard to use. Why has it become impossible to read the content???? Very badly done by Fortune Magazine.

Like Magazine, hate App.

You get an email telling you the next issue is available but you cant load it and support people have no clue. My New Yorker appears on my bookshelf magically and all I do is press the little cloud and in about a minute - presto - my new issue appears! Fortune, hire some 16 year olds to fix your App.

Average

Doesnt flow well.
