Commercials get old, but overall not bad
I get you have to show ads to make $$, but can you at least get some more sponsors? Sometimes the same ad plays back to back. And ads vary between devices.
It would also be nice for those who log in with their providers to only have to watch ads once per show. Gets old having to watch commercials and you can’t skip them.
Overall, it’s a good app. Let’s you watch on nearly every device. I like that every season of old shows that are no longer airing are available - especially because it seems 1/2 of the current shows have Bobby Flay. The app layout is clean, which makes it easy to find what I want to watch.
I will say it does have an occasional issue of showing an episode as unfinished, even if you finish it.Show lessjjsledge
Drives me crazy
I love some of the shows that are available on this app - but I am driven completely nuts by the constant dropping. No other app I use stops in the middle of programs and forces me to log back in and try all over.
I watch Masterchef and often end up missing episodes because the get locked in about three weeks and it takes me 12-20 log ins to complete an episode.
The show just stops - when I check to see if it's loading, it is not - it has just closed the app. Very frustrating.Show lessChi Actor
Won’t log into my tv provider anymore
I loved using this app to catch up on my shows but now it won’t let me log in to my tv provider. All I get now is the red spinner like it’s thinking. I have deleted the app and reinstalled several times and at first that worked or I would use it in the browser but now it won’t let me do any of that. I’m very sad about it. Please fix this. I’ve seen other reviews up here stating the same thing from months ago yet nothing as been addressed. Might just delete the app all together. 😢Show lessIrritated but still playing
Best app you’ve ever seen
I am going to tell you three reasons why I love this app. My first reason why I love this app is because it’s educational. my second reason why I love this app it because I love cooking and my third reason is because it’s so entertaining and I’m sure you’re going to be entertained too. I think you should watch this amazing app and when you watch one show you will never want to get out of this app.
There are so many things that you can watch and they’re so entertaining. They make you want to cook they make you want to bake and it’s so much fun.Show lesslulu👋
Have to sign in every single time
The content is good but having to sign in every single time I open or re-open the app is frustrating. This is even across devices, from mobile to fire stick to web app. Sometimes it won’t remember a show I’m watching, or will show an unreasonable amount of ads as I’m trying to find my spot in the show again. I also can’t navigate from what I’m currently watching to the rest of that show’s episodes, which slows down navigation and finding what I want to watch.Show lessKnitNinja23
Great app, except for locked episodes
This app is great because I can select and watch only real cooking shows. I really don’t like any of your competition shows. I miss the days when you had cooking shows on all day and night, and this app is the closest I am going to get back to that these days, I guess. The only show that is halfway decent that is not a traditional cooking show is Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.
The only thing I don’t like about this app is that I have to log in to my cable account to watch most episodes. Hopefully this will change in the future. Break away from cable, people! What about those who don’t have cable or don’t want to pay for cable TV? I only have cable now because someone else is paying for it. That won’t last forever.Show lesscierralite

I love the Food Network app all you need to do is just sign up with your TV provider and some of them come with a key on them and I think there’s too many with the key but other than that you still get free shows you can watch that don’t have the key and I think that it is awesome that you can watch all your favorite shows with your TV provider that is actually really really nice definitely recommend trying it out because if you are a lover or a food lover you will definitely love the championships and everything like that you’ll really enjoy itShow lessawesomegummy
Mostly ok.
I do appreciate the opportunity to watch my FN shows on this app and it works well. Yes, some shows have more than their fair share of ads, but I just take off the headphones and find something to do. I can move backward to catch anything I missed, they run the shows in order (if more than one is available), or offer something else after an episode is done. Signing in all the time is a little annoying but it goes fast. I really love that new episodes are available immediately after airing. Just the basic tv/cable apps don’t offer that—I always have to wait a few days for an epi to appear.Show lessjucnu

Glad to see you're enjoying the app! Recently, our team made some quality improvements to the app. Have these issues been resolved?THE ADS ARE DRIVING ME NUTS. I WOULD PAY TO AVOID THE.
SOOO many ads. They are all advertising the very same app I already am watching. I pay for direct Tv from which I get this app, so why am I watching ads? Also, I can’t return to what I’ve just been watching without starting the program from the beginning and then me fast forwarding to where I think I left off. I enjoy the shows, but the app is annoying. Also, there is no option to automatically stop a program after it’s over. It just keeps playing using up all the battery of my device. Netflix has the option of one program at a time.Show lessKateBerger
Do not buy it it is a waste of time money and effort
I really expect better from this!! I have seen over 25 commercials in under an hour that is ridiculous and more than half are basically the same and have nothing to do with food :(!!! And on top of that when there is a commercial I miss like 5 minutes of the show and you cannot go back with out watching another 3 commercials and yet it stills go back to where you start!!!! Witch such a famous channel I expect better I know what these people get paid and watch kind of money they get out of us for just watching the show!!! I swear if I miss another winner or anything else this is going into the trash!!!Show lessririfrenchfri5
