Not Liking New Version
I can only download past issues one page at a time, and, if that wasn't bad enough, each page take 30 seconds to load. There is no way to download the whole issue and read without internet access.
I wish I hadn't updated the app
The latest update is painful. Instead of being able to download the whole issue to read through, I now have to wait for each page to slowly load as I flip through. This is not an enjoyable reading experience! I also lost my saved articles from previous issues. If this does not get changed I will discontinue my subscription.

Update
I have not been able to update the app and it's been stuck in the waiting stage which has been incredibly frustrating. I'm also unable to delete the app in order to reload it.
Latest issues don't appear.
Despite my subscription and having the latest version of this app and iOS, the latest issues of the magazine are not available within the app. Customer service merely states that they should appear, but cannot help me beyond that. The content is good. I do still access to my back issues, but I PAID for the next year. Very disappointing.

Do not waste your time
Having a printed subscription is still the way to go. There is a serious downside to the app. There is no way to print directly from the app. There is no way to backup the issues you access to your computer. If you change iPad or upgrade your iPad you need to download all the issues again. That is assuming you can download them again. Downloads are extremely slow. You must tell it to download each issue because there is no download queue. What is the sense of the "restore previous purchased issues" when it will not and can not do that? They do not understand "Restore Previous Purchases". There are missing issues. Most of the embedded videos are broken. This new version does not have the same functionality that the previous version had. This is a cookbook and not a magazine. This is not what I purchase back in 2011, 2012 and 2013. There is no customer support.

Great Food!
Since I can't subscribe to the magazine in the States, this is the next best thing, and less than half the newsstand price without the ads! Great content, wonderful recipes! A keeper.
Good Resource
Recipes are easy to complete and results are consistent. Will continue to review and prepare some really good products.
Exquisite
This magazine is proof that the British do know how to cook good food. I was introduced to Good Food back in 1991, after being transferred to the uk for business. At that time they didn't have subscriptions but I could have it delivered by my local news agent. When we returned to Canada I had to have all of my saved copies of my favorite magazine return too. I have always kept them because I refer to them whenever I'm looking for a particular British recipe. Then I was gifted an iPad and looking up recipes is so much easier, I wouldn't be without my copies both hard copy and digital. (I must admit that I do go to my local book store and buy the occasional 'good Food', hard copy.

Smart packaging of content
Really well done! More than a digital rendering of the magazine, the Good Food app makes good use of technology. Love the way pictures and related recipes are bundled, allowing the pictures to really pop.
Great mag
One of the best cooking magazines out there! I've bought it at full cover price on the newsstand for years. Just something about the way they presented all.
