  • VIP+ Membership is useless on iPad

    The app is useless for the $40/month VIP+ subscription if you signed up online (not the App Store). Just access it through Safari and save yourself the headache.
  • Navbar too tight on iPhone 13 mini

    Its very narrow at the top and sometimes It takes several tries to press a new category. There is a large margin at the bottom so its a bit frustrating that everything is crammed at the top.
  • Worthless…keeps freezing!

    The content is great, but the app freezes after one use. Tried rebooting my iPad, downloading again, etc. Freezes on a regular basis. Too bad.
  • iPad version freezes at start

    What a missed opportunity for Variety
  • What is this?

    After installing message popped up: “Notice Doesn’t have OneTrust data to show Banner user interface. Please fetch OneTrust data first.” What the heck is that! Can some one please explain?!—thanks. Rating reflects difficulty to run the app. I’m a Variety reader and would like to be able to use the app.
  • No access to mag issues for direct subscribers!

    A bizarre app in that it does not seem to allow linkage/login to “print + digital” Variety subscription accounts, only Variety subscriptions made via the Apple app store - a ridiculous limitation resulting in inability of direct (Penske) Variety subscribers to access the “Issues” feature.
  • MISSING: Real Time Alerts Feature

    1
    By Doren Sean Michael
    The app states there are real-time new alert push notifications you can turn on via the settings menu. This is 100% false. There is absolutely no way to do this. There is actual absolutely no alert feature at all. I’ve emailed support 5 times with no response, so I’ve decided to leave a review to inform others that are expecting this feature. If I’m incorrect, please reply to this review with instructions on how this can be done & I will revise the content. Below is what they state, but the feature is completely nonexistent. “REAL-TIME NEWS ALERTS: Keep up with breaking stories as they happen with push notifications, easily toggled on or off in the app settings menu. “ In fact the screenshots show a “bell” icon next to the “gear” icon, which does not exist in the actual app. Please respond with how to active the real-time news alerts. Please. Thank you.
  • Much Improved - fast and user friendly

    Variety is my go-to for entertainment news. This update is a big improvement, it’s faster, easier and has new features. I love that I can customize my newsfeed.
  • Impossible to Use

    By BGoegan
    The Variety app is impossible to use. It is extremely laggy, seems to make my phone hot every time I use, and is an endless barrage of advertisements.
  • Buggy ads

    I couldn’t finish an article because the ads kept restructuring the page as they loaded, until the page goes dark and I have to reload it and start over.
