This App needs to be upgraded Worst app on my phone If it s not upgraded soon I will be deleting it The gallery section is even blank     Worst App JackieO823
Love the pub but app never opens Just crashes Please fix     Just Keeps Crashing Gramzilla
This app is what you d expect in terms of content the industry news and insights of Variety s excellent staff The problem is that it needs updated and often is slow to load or crashes             Good content needs updated AndrewNeel
Update the app The interface is incoherent with modern design and the functionality of the app is at the butt of the design Great content poor presentation         Update mrmatthewg
Slow Trying to play video crashes app Able to read articles Celeb obits needs to be its own section The developer hasn t touched the app in over 3 years It needs to be compatible with current operating system     App desperately needs compatibility update EarInTheCrowd
I found the iPad version of Variety very useful when it was working although it always crashed a lot Now it crashes every time I wish they would fix it as it is a fine app when it works I first wrote this review months ago and the problem still isn t fixed     iPad version doesn t work Jbkudzu
Update app crashes upon launch Useless App used to load articles quickly Now it freezes for up to a minute or two before new articles appear Video links don t play sound without headphones nor do they rotate to landscape Please update     Used to love this app but no longer echolfin
While I enjoy the content provided by this app I really hate not being able to read two consecutive articles in a row without having to reopen it after it shuts down Come on really         Constant crashing Yergh
It d be nice if this app didn t crash or freeze every time I try using it And it d be nice to offer the option to copt links or have the article at least open in a web browser so I could copy the link myself and share it But I guess the app developers Variety hired are strapped for cash or just couldn t be bothered to supply basic functions in a mobile app You d be better off just going straight to the website off a web browser because the app is essentially useless and just takes up space One star     Yikes MonsterGodKing
Well I didn t realize how aesthetically pleasing THR app is until I downloaded this     Awful Yujan
I love Variety but I ve considered switching to another source of entertainment news because of how awful this app is unfortunately THR is made by the same people The app is EXTREMELY slow to load often not loading at all forcing you to quit and relaunch the app It crashes frequently and it s impossible to search for old articles It also only loads an arbitrary number of articles from the current day for example if you check it on Monday then again on Thursday the news feed will show articles from Thursday then articles from Monday it doesn t load articles from days you don t manually check the app Furthermore many of Variety s articles feature video content Zero videos exist in the app it doesn t have the capability to embed or play them so even if you check the app on an important news day there s a good chance you won t be able to see the information you want to see anyway I don t know if Variety commissioned PMC to make this app or if PMC made it on their own but either way Variety should be embarrassed the app exists     Awful app lostaddict64
Love the content but hate this app Previous versions have been too slow to open and crashed far to often It usually took at least 10 tries before I get the app to open and load Sometimes it never loaded The latest update is the worst yet It never opens for me Goodbye Variety     No go MikeTorr7
Same content as online and easier to access but the look is not even close to the refined and beautiful website Although the articles are the same I will stick with the website because the app is not aesthetically pleasing             Great Content Awful Look lexaross
Very disappointed in this app The interface is klunky     Not Worth Installing FJWhichard
Does not open half the time     Hard to open mls4615
This is a good app and I love that I get entertainment news not gossip The only drawback is its share button It doesn t give options to copy link text or messenger I don t want to always send it to Facebook just so one particular friend can see that story or email something not that important to their email                 Good app but Michie425
I love the content but it almost without fail crashes the first time you open it and then the second time it just takes a while to load         Great once in Cappittsboro
This app is absolute garbage The pages turn by themselves and it s difficult to access the actually digital issues I m not renewing my digital subscription     What a joke Tatathomas
This app is a great resource for entertainment news but it consistently freezes and or crashes every time it is opened In dire need of an update on that front Can t complain too loudly since it s a free app but it s frustrating when one of your favorites is so very dysfunctional         Great content terrible accessibility ssaammss
Love Variety but the app is terribly slow to update and crashes almost every time you open it I think it actually used to work better than it does now         Needs work ike524
This used to be one of my favorite apps until it started freezing taking a minute or more to load It will often crash and have to be restarted only to still take minutes to refresh Please update             where did the slowdown come from AdvancedANDROID
Never get to read it because it takes too long to open     Freezes Fatsy55
Never get to read it because it takes too long to open     Freezes
I love the content but it almost without fail crashes the first time you open it and then the second time it just takes a while to load        Great once in
Nice user interface but with less clicks and effort I can follow them on Twitter no original content and no need for me to keep the app Afraid this is going in the trash till the next version     No new content offers same service as their Twitter feed
I held off on updating the old app as long as possiable after the reviews I agree with everyone else They ruined it The best source for entertainment news is now a shell of itself For me its way to much work to get anything out of it HALF A STAR Half a star since its easy to delete     How to ruin a great App
Common Variety Your better than this Its embarrassing to the entertainment community that you even offer such a crappy app IT DOESNT EVEN LOAD     Seriously
The biggest change to the latest version of the Variety app is the total redesign Instead of a bland and somewhat cluttered menu and background there is now a spacious and elegant aesthetic to the application Users can also access more stories from a variety of categories from the entertainment industry whether it be film TV games and more The content isnt everyday comprehensive like other film news apps such as Slashfilm or Indiewire but in terms of wanting to catch up to whats happened the past week this is a good resource to have What keeps this app from being great is the little details that should have been taken into account such as the ability to save stories and access exclusive as well as archived Variety content Users should be able to at least see the latest Variety newsstand editions so they know whats on the cover and maybe as a result becoming subscribers helping to cross the divide between the physical and digital editions              Variety
This app requires you to go to the website to read more than a few sentences     Not a good app
This app mustve been recently updated because all of the problems regarding links taking you outside the app seems to have been addressed App has full articles and even when you click a link for a related article it opens that one up fully within the app So far very nice              Nice
This app is a great resource for entertainment news but it consistently freezes andor crashes every time it is opened In dire need of an update on that front Cant complain too loudly since its a free app but its frustrating when one of your favorites is so very dysfunctional        Great content terrible accessibility
This is a good app and I love that I get entertainment news not gossip The only drawback is its share button It doesnt give options to copy link text or messenger I dont want to always send it to Facebook just so one particular friend can see that story or email something not that important to their email              Good app but
App used to load articles quickly Now it freezes for up to a minute or two before new articles appear Video links dont play sound without headphones nor do they rotate to landscape Please update        Used to love this app but no longer
Brief blurbs Link to web content Read web content Reopen app Find another article you want to read follow link reopen app Becomes tiresome very very quickly Full article or an easy return to app would be lovely        Return
This used to be one of my favorite apps until it started freezing taking a minute or more to load It will often crash and have to be restarted only to still take minutes to refresh Please update           where did the slowdown come from
How can you go from good to useless This app is the perfect example     Lousy app
Unlike the previous app which let you read full articles this app gives you a preview blurb with a link to the full article That link opens Variety in Safari Then after youve read a couple of articles or reviews it wont let you read any more It immediately blacks out with a message that you have to subscribe to Variety for free to get 3 more articles After that you have to really subscribeto the tune of about 250 Im not an industry professional I just like reading the news and reviews     RIP OFF
I used to love this app until this past weekend when it stopped updating Whats up     Whats up with no updates
Love Variety but the app is terribly slow to update and crashes almost every time you open it I think it actually used to work better than it does now        Needs work
Apparently this app hasnt been updated in a year and a half still not optimized for iPhone 5 which is really annoying and has more than a few frustrating limitations starting with no search function and no ability to load more than the 20 most recent articles per section Compared to Varietys mobileoptimized website this app is kind of a dinosaur        You get what you pay for I guess
This app is pointless We have a handful of annual Variety subscriptions in our office and that annual cost is higher than what it would cost to buy some generic app design that will handle subscription logins and pull content from the Variety database This app is a reflection of Varietys inability to understand digital content and how easy it is to make money with ones and zeros     Pointless Pointless Pointless
Why is the app so slow as if the app is frozen when the app is started You are probably busy on loading gallery photos in the background but why dont you do that if I click on gallery section Why cant the font on the front page and on each sections page be changed like while reading an article Why are the titles in each article all capitalized It so hard to read     so slow to load and small font on section page
App is slow to open and crashes far to often It usually takes at least 10 tries before I get the app to open and load Sometimes it never loads        Very buggy
Instead of full articles the app gives you uselessly short blurbs and then provides a link to the website        Not great at all
Informative enjoyable But so tough to get it on Freezes every time I have to turn off and on a few times to get it running Very odd for such a big named brand           Informative but tough to turn on
This app is absolute garbage The pages turn by themselves and its difficult to access the actually digital issues Im not renewing my digital subscription     What a joke
Variety always great content but the share button does not include a link back to the storyyou are leaving a huge portion of readership off the table with this dysfunctional feature Please fix ASAP              Great content but unable to share story links
This app requires you have a Variety subscription to read more than a paragraph or two Dont waste your time unless your willing to buy one     Useless app
Its ok not too bad Not too spectacular At least its way better than that stupid Newsgator Variety app           Just ok
Just what I was looking for Tons of reviews you can just swipe through with a nice big image to capture your interest Theres a quick little blurb you can skim and if you want more just swip up and you get the whole story Nice work APPtastic              Got the low down down low NO DOUBT
Boo     Worst Version Yet
