Have to restore purchases

Hi folks,
I have a 6 month subscription from the Apple store but every month when the new magazine arrives, I have to restore purchases in order to get my copy. Slightly annoying
Hope you can fix

Hi JJCraiglee We're sorry to hear you are having problems. We will look into it and see if there is anything we need to fix. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Keeps crashing

Keeps crashing when I open the bookmarks section. Tried deleting the app and reinstalling but still crashes.

Old issues not working

Subscription cancelled a while ago after some dreadful changes to the app, e.g. loss of landscape. I now find that old issues are not working properly e.g. I can see a photo of the dish but cannot “spin” the page to see the recipe instructions. This renders all this past issues useless. It seems that nothing has changed - the app is still very poor.

Bookmarks

Trying to look at things your have bookmarked closes the app. This is crazy annoying, it takes an age to find what you previously were looking at. Contacted through app to point out fault, no response. If that worked it would be 5*.

Worst app for the magazine

Magazine and recipes are great. However the app is terrible. So slow takes ages to load anything. The clock through contents page links NEVER work unless the issue is downloaded for offline use. Downloading issues takes ages and if you leave the app does not continue to download.

Want the subscription that I pay for but not if it’s to use with this version of the app!

Slow loading.

I used to like, but with each up grade it has got slower and slower. Or it doesn’t load at all. Now it is a waste of money.

Dissapointed

I find it difficult to navigate. It doesn’t ‘flow’.

Having opted for digital I now wish I had gone for paper. I would prefer it to have the look of a book where you can ‘turn’ the pages etc and get the ‘feel’ of a glossy magazine.

Maybe I can change to paper? But as I say I find it difficult to navigate so don’t know how successful I will be in finding the answer.

Excellent Content. Crappy App

Indexing terrible. Navigation Abysmal. No shopping list or print options. Content Exceptional. ‘nuff said.

Response from developer

Hi, we're sorry to hear you're not enjoying the app experience. However, we have introduced some new features which may help. You can now search for recipes at the top of the app, which will help you find inspiration from across all of the content within the app. You're also able to bookmark your favourite recipes/anything that catches your eye and these will all be saved in your bookmark folder in the main menu. We hope that helps and thank you for reading Good Food Magazine.

Waste of money!

Where have all my back issues gone? Like the magazine but this app has lost all my back issues and just wastes my time trying to recover them. I paid for them and now basically they’ve been stolen. Just end up with access to the current issue. Surely this can’t be legally correct!
