FOOD & WINE App Reviews

No updates. No customer service. Rip off!

Cant download on iPad 4 or iPad mini. What is going on with this app? I keep getting a message to try download later or error that is not network related. I also cant restore my prior purchases.

I bought a year subscription in October and when 2015 came I was unable to load the January issue, so I contacted the magazine support and they told me to do it through Apple as I bought it through iTunes, well I contacted Apple and they asked me to erase the app and reload it,, it started my January issue but I lost other issues that were loaded before, I love this magazine but I think it is best to get the paper subscription.

Used to be a decent app. As a print subscriber, I can no longer download issues. App asks me to pay another $5.99 for something Ive already paid for. Used to be a simple download button when signed into your account and a new issue came out. Same issues with Travel & Leisure magazine. Until they fix this, I would avoid this app completely. Also considering dropping my print subscription as a result. Very unhappy ! I find it odd (or not) that there have been no reviews on this app since Jan. 2015.

As of the August issue there are no more links to recipes, you can no longer save favorites and the recipes are no longer formatted to make it easy to use them while cooking. Why Food and Wine thought it was a good idea to take away those features and just supply a scan of the magazine is beyond me. Dont bother subscribing to the iPad version unless they bring back the interactive features.

All the great functionality stopped after July 2015. Links to recipes, helpful organization and favorites iding are now gone. Better to get the hard copy than buying this app which is now merely a scanned version of the mag. On the other hand, with the new digital version the iPad might be used as a handy trivet.

Food & Wine is the worst app and website ever. The app is so slow and ridden with ads that it makes navigation impossible. When they present a series of recipes and you want to see them all at once, the "see all" button doesnt work on an iPad most of the time. If you keep hitting the button, eventually an ad will open instead of the list of recipes. Fix this app or remove from App Store. It is a waste of time!

Cant search or save recipes or wines.

Very disappointed that the app is now just a scan of the magazine.

Thanks Time Inc. for destroying the app. I’d recommend users try the NY Times Cooking app - they have it right.

This app used to be the best magazine app, in my view, out there. There were links for all the recipes on the recipe index where I could just tap on it and the app would direct me to straight to the recipe. Now, the app version is just a scanned version of the printed version. No links on the recipes and when I try to scroll through the pages, it doesnt indicate what page number I am on. So, it takes forever for me to find a specific recipe. I find this incredibly frustrating. It is a useless app. I am going back to reading the printed version.

The magazine downloads as a whole and not as individual pages. You cannot save individual recipes. They use to have a recipe section and it is missing as well. I will not renew this app. Other food mags do so much better.

I used to love my Food and Wine app but for the last several months I have been unable to get the app to recognize my subscription. I have tried everything from restoring issues to uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Nothing works! Do not bother to contact Customer Service either, they will not respond to your pleas for help. I am going to have to call them and it will be to cancel my subscription. That is too bad, this app used to be great.

I have one general rule. If I encounter a problem activating a digital subscription to a magazine I already pay/subscribe to I will attempt 3 times (in app) and then will delete the app. It was so cumbersome and buggy that I have also cancelled my print subscription after receiving only one issue. Make it seamless or dont bother. Nothing is worth this.
