Leave a Review Food Network GO
Needs to be updated
The only reason I’m giving it a low rating is because it works like a outdated app. You can watch a show and take a break and come back to find it did not sync where you left off from. So then you have to go and find your show and skip the part you watched. But wait, you really can’t skip it because there are 4-6 long ads every 8 minutes. There is no way there needs to be that many ads in such a short time. There should be a a few shorts ads and then a few long ads. It is not worth using this app when there is 30 minutes of ads. I just want to enjoy my favorite shows and I know there will be ads but there are too many back to back.Show lessMrsladi83
Ridiculous commercials
I have no problem watching commercials while enjoying my favorite food network shows via the app. But I’m watching Holiday Baking Championship with my 10 and 12 year old kids- WE DON’T NEED TO SEE BOOBS/HALF NAKED WOMEN IN A LINGERIE COMMERCIAL or commercials for Fabletics where some woman on a treadmill is feeling all over her own pants. My kids love watching cooking and baking shows with me but I’m rethinking watching them on Food Network, at least via the app.
Also, EVERY SINGLE TIME we go to watch via the app through our fire stick, I have to “activate” the app by signing in through the website on my phone. Seems like an unnecessary extra step that could likely be easily remedied.Show lessBbbbbbeth
Developer Response
Not everything is in our control ad-wise. Your TV provider also has input into which ads you are served. But if you would like to reach out to us via the link below and include information about the ads, we will forward to our team so they can investigate. https://foodnetwork.custhelp.com/app/askIrritatingly Glitchy
This app needs a lot of work. It connects to your tv service. However, it is constantly saying a show is not available, because it isn't part of your tv plan (even when it is) and the app is already connected to your tv service. You have to delete the app and redownload it about every 3 shows you watch, because of this error. Sometimes you have to sign in like 3 times, because the first 2 times it says you’re connected, but when you return to the main screen it isn’t. SO many other little glitchy issues that are too many to list. I deleted it and won’t use again unless they do some major fixing. So disappointed!Show lessCarnal15
Review update - fixed!
Editing my review because the latest update fixed the issue. Thanks to the developer!
The most recent update still didn’t solve the crashing issue. The app worked beautifully until the new iOS, and even after the recent update, shows still can’t play without immediately shutting down the app. So frustrating...Show lessjess_shan
Argh!!!
Doesn’t work on my iPhone 8!! I can’t sign in using Spectrum! Tech support is nonexistent. All I get is an annoying spinning circle but no log in. I have tried everything recommended to no avail. My other devices work fine. Any help???
***update***
An app developer finally reached out to me and the problem is solved. I’m not sure most people would know to turn off provider access under the Food Network app. Oh well. Glad to have it now!Show lessHappyPuppyPinkCupcakeKisses
I’ve never had this issue with streaming..
I love food network and was really excited when I found the app. I don’t even mind the commercials much because I know that’s how it’s free for everyone. My problem is that the video quality is terrible. It’s rarely clear, it’s either fuzzy or completely messed up to where I can’t even watch it. Another thing is randomly the sound will go out. So then I have to get out of it and go back in but then it doesn’t save my place so I have to completely restart the show I was watching. All this makes it almost impossible to even watch it and not worth it at allShow lessstamm889965
Worst app for streaming
I don’t know who designed this app but he/she should be fired or banned from the design. I only stream and using this app makes me want to throw my remote at the tv.
There isn’t any continuity between usage and viewing of shows. It’s clumsy to get thru and worst of all, they don’t have enough commercial content so they will play the same add up to four time in a row. Yep that’s right, the same commercial in a row, four times. Really makes you had those vendors which is probably the opposite they hoped for.
While you can use this app, you can not see current content. To do that you need to have a cable provider or be locked out of new content. So you can only watch old stuff. Not a way to get viewer to want to use this app.
Needs work.Show lesswickedpowers

Keeps Forgetting I have a cable subscription
After going through the hassle of getting the Apple TV application synchronized with my cable subscription, I can watch programs for about one week, then it doesn’t think I am authorized any more. This wouldn’t be so bad if their website would let me activate using my iPhone, but it doesn’t.
They need to get this application using Apple’s single sign on.
I just got a response from the developers. Because this app doesn’t support single sign on, and having single sign on enabled can cause it problems, they want me to turn it off. For everyone. In other words, break every application that DOES support it. No thanks.Show lessjwpolley
Fix the order of play!
Update: Upped to 5 stars as the issue noted below has been resolved. Shows now play in a sensible order.
Previous issue:
I love being able to binge watch Food Network shows and watch live tv away from home. This would be 5 stars except for a very annoying issue. If you go to binge watch a show, play an episode and when the episode ends the previous episode starts not the next one. Hey app developers, NOBODY WATCHES THE SHOWS IN A BACKWARDS ORDER!Show lessMatt in Altoona
