Leave a Review Food Network GO
Enjoying the classics
I enjoy this app a great deal and love watching old episodes of classics like Barefoot Contessa and similar shows. Also, I like that it can automatically sign in your tv provider while connected to a home network. If I had one suggestion (and I’m not sure if this exists right now or not so sorry if it does) would be the option to buy a membership with an ad free option for those who would prefer a Netflix style viewing option.Show lesspncsft1234
Will not open, Have to re-install every time I want to use
Since latest upgrade every single time I try to open app Food Network Go screen opens and then nothing. I have to delete app and re-install and sign into my provider again. Then when in app when I want to switch to a different show most times I go to show and get blank space where episodes are usually shown. Again I have to delete app, reinstall and re connect to my provider. So annoying.Show lessSuzyQ55555
Amazing! But....
I love love love food network!! It’s an amazing app that I really enjoy. The ads are a little annoying but it’s alright. The only thing is that my home doesn’t have a tv provider so the selection of what I’m able to watch is very limited. Recently I haven’t been able to watch anything because nothing was available and nothing was free! I love food network so much and not being able to watch some of my favorite shows makes me a little down..Show lesshjjisiaiw
App is very frustrating...
I love the content of Food Network Go and enjoyed it happily in the past. Lately though I’ve had to reinstall it every single time I try to use it after stopping it. When I click it on my homescreen it goes to the Food Network Go logo, but won’t give me the list of shows (or anything else) until I delete the app, then reinstall it which involves reconnecting to my cable service provider every time. I don’t have this issue with any other streaming app or any app. Very frustrating. I’m using it on an iPad that I got for Christmas last year. Help!!Show lessnycbarb
6 Ads For You!
No rewind button on Food Network for iPad Air.
It’s fine that there are ads but they repeat the same, in some commercial breaks, 3 times in a row.
TO THE DEVELOPER - don’t tell me “that doesn’t seem right” or “we monitor the commercials and spread them out” because NO YOU DON’T! YOU go sit through Challenge (past or reboot) and you’ll see for yourself. They’re national commercials so you can’t say you have no control over them. If you, by your own admission, spread the ads out, then the same ad running back to back EVERY commercial break is something YOU need to fix. You won’t, you’ll just tell me to open a ticket because “it seems like this isn’t working for me” and we need to explore it further. It’s one thing to run the same ad every break but
this app runs the same ad, 3 times in a row, every commercial break!
FIX THIS because it’s the worst app I have! So to recap - DEVELOPER, GO WATCH YOUR APP YOURSELF! Go watch 2 shows in a row and see if by the time the 2nd show ends, if you’re not thoroughly irritated. You can fix it because you said you handle this, September 2, I believe it was.
Don’t waste your time on this app. Besides the no-rewind button on the iPad (every app I have has a rewind), you’ll be plagued with the same NATIONAL ads 2-3 times, back to back, every commercial break.Show lessFlyingmoosetothemoon

Hi, We never want anyone to have a bad ad experience. There are many factors that can affect the ads you see, including your location and TV provider. Because of this could you please contact us at https://gohelp.discovery.com/hc/en-us so we can get the proper information to look into this for you?Used to be my favorite
of the streaming apps. Not sure what changed, but it’s now more a pain than a pleasure. Still remembers that I’m casting to my TV, which is good. But, where it used to sometimes blank out and say the video wasn’t available, it always used to come back after a few moments. Now, not so much. It will stream live for a few minutes, then switch to a black screen saying the video is not available - and it stays not available until the livestream is relaunched. Or, it cuts to commercial and says it will be back in a moment, but it never comes back. The temp interruptions were a pain, but acceptable. Now, every time it interrupts, either the casting has to be restarted, or the livestream has to be relaunched, or both. I miss more that I see. This was my go-to channel when something was on that I wanted to watch, or when nothing was on elsewhere that I wanted to watch. Now it just frustrates me and makes me angry, so I’ve pretty much given up watching - even the shows that I really like. I’ve just restarted 4 times in order to watch a show I’ve already seen. A new episode that I wanted to watch is on next, but I’ve given up. Really hope they’ll fix the issues; they were never this bad before.Show lessMystic921

Sorry to hear the app isn't working as it should. Please email us via the link below and let us know your device, TV provider, and what method you are using to cast the app (Airplay with Apple TV, Chromecast, etc). We will investigate and get back to you ASAP! http://goapphelp.discovery.com/Ads Galore!
I love love food network. I also find the app super easy to use, doesn’t normally glitch and I can watch all my favorite shows.
What I don’t love, is the ads. My goodness there are a ton of them. I totally understand this is how it makes money, but I would pay for a monthly subscription to stop watching all of these ads. I’m pretty sure I spend more time watching ads then the actual shows! It also tends to be the same ad over and over again? I completely understand why they are there, just wish I could pay monthly to not watch them!
Overall though, the app is great!Show lessLoB1Kenobi
Login, login, login!!!
I love the food network, and I love rewatching my favorite shows especially while being stuck at home but the one thing that ruins this app for me is it makes you login again after watching 2 episodes. After about 2 episodes it displayed a message that says the content is only available for those subscribed through their cable provider. So then you have to log out of your account, an account that has already been verified and log back in. It may not seem frustrating but it happens constantlyShow lessEmm184
A lot of glitches!
I love food network and I love being able to watch all the shows as well as steam live however food network has the most glitches I have ever experienced with any app or online experience. It signs me out of my tv provider every day and I have to disconnect and reconnect the app streaming to my tv at least 3x a day. I have had to delete and re download the app twice in a month because it stops working or says it doesn’t recognize my tv provider. I have been using the app for two years, with different TVs and different cable providers and the glitches have never been fixed. Something has to be done to get these fixed! It’s so ridiculous for such a huge company to have such terrible technology.Show lessChef frustration

Listen, i love food network. But this app and its ads... If you're like me and like binging shows, the ads make it almost unbearable. And theres almost no variety. Ive MEMORIZED commercials because i see them back to back every 15 minutes. In the future can there be a way to pay for no ads? Cause i would be spending my whole credit card on it. Every else about this app is fine. The layout is cool whatever. There's this weird thing where when i first open the app, i have to scroll down to the bottom of the home screen then go back up to see my continue watching?? Little weird but its been like that since forever. Just let me pay for no ads or get some variety PLEASE
pt. 2 uhm...there’s an ad that goes on for 1:30 but it’s just a blank screen?? like it’s just white??? don’t know who she is.Show lesscruelsummer13
