Great App...but
I really like this app. I just have not figured out how to leave a comment on a show. Any help would be appreciated. I can watch what I want, when I want, where I want. That being said: what is going on with Eddie Jackson's show. My husband and I were thrilled when Eddie won The Next Food Network Star. We were looking forward to watching him share some of his BBQ recipes. They were what he won on, that and his personality. What a disappointment to tune in to his show and find him merely hosting other chefs' dishes. Don't know about anyone else but we want to see Eddie do his BBQ magic. Make it an hour show, let him compete, if and when he wins give it to a local food bank. Thanks.

Guys Grocery Games ends early
Hello we have a major problem, normally I don’t leave reviews unless they are 5 star but this needs to be addressed, all your guys grocery games episodes end too early before the episode actually ends, the show says it lasts 45:52 but it plays the next video automatically at 42 minutes, this happens with all the season and most of the episodes, we are missing the most important part which is who wins and how much they win, PLEASE fix this.

Why is Discovery one of my favorite networks?
While I love Discovery for the knowledge it provides and it sort of provides one of my favorite websites, “The Food Network”. But Verizon split off the other cooking networks, but did not lower my monthly charges, so I am stuck unless I ante up a fair amount of money every month to re-acquire the now missing options.
Why do we have to pay fees every month for channels I could not care less about, shopping channels to start along with many of the religious channels, but I pay Verizon money for dozens of channels I am forced to pay for.
Also, the various cooking channels should offer a database that could be cross sorted of the recipes used by the featured restaurants on air since the shows go far too fast to write down the recipes being worked on the shows.
Thanks for listening.

It would also be useful if the scooting show networks ran a crawler at the top of the screen with the name, address, phone # and web address of the restaurant being featured on the show at that time.

It’s decent!
You definitely get all the Food Network show you’ll love! There aren’t many ads during the show and they only last 30 seconds, so that’s not that bad! My only and biggest complaint is that there is no ad diversity. I know it’s a weird request, but I’ve seen the same ad over and over and over again. It’s quickly becoming tedious. I also wish there was some sort of ad preference as well. The ad in question is also about alcohol, and I’m sober. The ad is also silly and repetitive in its nature. So, the combination of a repeated alcohol name for 30 seconds at a time every 7 to 10 minutes to a person who is sober is just frankly irritating. Besides that the app itself is pretty okay!

Streaming via Airplay is terrible
Tried streaming via Airplay to our TV. Got 3/4 of the way thru the show and suddenly the stream locked up when an ad tried to play. I ended up closing the Airplay connection and watching the ad on my phone directly (1:45 worth of adds). Then I reconnected the Airplay connection and it made me watch all the ads again (another 1:45 worth of adds). Then the stream locked up again. I tried closing the video and restarting and it made me watch ads AGAIN! (Another 2 minutes worth). Then it locked up AGAIN!!
I closed out the app and re-opened, and went to resume the video and it made me watch ANOTHER 2 minutes of ads … and then it started the episode from the beginning! It wouldn’t let me skip forward while on Airplay, so I disconnected Airplay yet again and scanned forward to the point where the show originally locked up … AND IT TRIED TO SHOW ME ANOTHER 2 MINUTES OF ADS!
I just killed off the app and gave up. You wated enough of my time. Not worth messing with it anymore. Spend less time making sure your ads work and focus on the fundamental reason for your app … streaming your content.

Love Food network
I have been watching this for years now, but more recently on Discovery channel. I do enjoy it very much, but I particularly like watching the chefs and programs that I can learn from. I don’t enjoy the road shows and that sort of thing so much.
Once in a while is fine, but I am hoping there will be more Alex against America, since there were bot many shows and I really enjoyed that. I love Symon’s dinners and now Zoe Bakes and the Magnolia Channel. I have been happy to see new programs as there were many old one’s when I first subscribed. Those are good, but had already seen some multiple times. Overall, I am really enjoying Discovery+ and Food network together.

Food Network Current Shows
I’ve been missing seeing current Food Network shows since I got rid of cable. Now with this app, I’m able to catch up with what I’ve missed. I’ve only been able to see some current shows on Discovery Plus, now with Food Network Go, I can watch them all!!! Getting this app is thanks to someone answering my question on Facebook. Even though I took 5 years of Home Ec in Jr High and High School, with the help of Food Network, I’ve become a better home cook even though it’s only for myself, I do bake and give to my neighbors.

Thanks for the five star review! We are so glad you have found a new way to stream the most recent episodes from your favorite Food Network shows. We wish you all the best and happy watching!
New app is terrible
This updated Food Network GO app is TERRIBLE. It’s so buggy. There is a different glitch or problem every two or three times I turn it on (and I basically only watch the food network and I only use the app to stream so I open it/use it multiple times a day). The Just Added section seems to add everything that plays throughout the day instead of just adding new episodes like the previous version of the app did, because there are regularly like 15-20 episodes of Restaurant Impossible in a row in there. That makes it really hard to keep up with new episodes of shows because there is too much to sift through. It’s just annoying. I wish I could have the old version back because I hate this one.

Doesn’t hold your place
This app is terrible. Doesn’t remember which episode of the show I’m on and then when it does it doesn’t start it in the right place. Episodes I know I’ve finished show that they’re halfway viewed are only like 10 minutes into the show. Then it keeps logging me out even though I use the app almost every day. In order to unlink your provider you have to go into settings on your Apple TV and unlink it from everything. It’s so annoying! I found it easier to just delete the app and then download it again and sign back in in the app. Fix it!

Love the app but….
I love watching my favorite food network shows that I missed on the television on the app my disappointments are I have to keep signing into my network provider at least once a week and if I have begun watching a show and don’t finish it and start back watching maybe two days later I have to start from the beginning. Why?
That’s why I’m giving it a four.
