Awesome app, but..
This app is awesome I literally love food network and kept it on my tv. Being I have gotten rid of my tv, this app was gold. Only problems that i have are:
1) The app signs me out almost immediately after Temporarily closing the app. I'd appreciate if it kept me logged in.
2) when continuing an episode you were watching previously, it will skip ahead a few minutes and scrubbing back or forth is pretty hard on this app. The 10 seconds forward/back feature would be awesome.Show lessLuLuw97
Worst tv app I've used.
This app crashes constantly. It never remembers what I was watching when it crashed so I have to go back in and find it again. Sometimes it at least remembers where I was in the episode, but often it doesn't. So then I have to watch ads, then go skip to where I left off and then watch the same ads again. A lot of times when I pause, it just starts playing ads instead of pausing, and if I try to pause the ads, it freezes up. If I pause and use another app and then come back, it rarely leaves what I was watching up, even if it was only a few seconds. Sometimes I can easily start back up with continue watching, but often it forgets and I have to dig back down to the right season/episode again.Show lessShukitty
Needs fixing
Great selection of shows. However, the lack of option for “continuous play” is very frustrating. After finally getting to an episode after signing in and whatnot, once it’s finished, you (almost) always have to go all the way back to the beginning (find show, season, ep, sign in) just to play the next episode! Speaking of, I find myself having to resign into my cable subscriber after almost EVERY episode has finished. Very time consuming just to watch a 20 min show. Sometimes I just close it out and go to another app, sad. Also, “favoriting shows” is pointless since they disappear every time you log out.Show lessCorSmore23
Never works!
So frustrated! The app shuts down in the middle of a show and logs me out. I've cleared my cookies and cache, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Sometimes it lets me log back in other times I get the spinning red circle of doom. I've left it open and it will literally spin for hours!!! I used to watch the shows sitting waiting to pick up my kids, it's never available now. When it does open it will auto fast forward or switch shows. I miss the old app that actually worked. 😡Show lessSniper Dino
Just plain terrible. Save yourself the frustration.
This app has potential, but it’s completely buried in buggy performance, broken features, and a constant loop of the same commercials over and over and over and over and, well, you get the point. You watch for 5 minutes, or sometimes 30 seconds, then get the same 5-7 commercials repeated for you. They never change so you just keep seeing the same thing for 3-4 minutes of commercials, every 10 minutes. If you skip ahead, or back, guess what...the same 3-4 minutes of commercials. If the app crashes, and it will crash regularly, guess what...the same 3-4 minutes of commercials. I’ve given this a month, because I’m a huge Food Network fan, but this app doesn’t do the channel justice.Show lessMadbytes

I HATE this new app. I had to uninstall the FN app I have been happily using for several years. There was a glitch in the old app, so I uninstalled and reinstalled. I have done this with other apps, and everything came back that was saved and in perfect working order.
Not this one.
I don’t know what the hearts are for. Click on one and it turns blue but not the program under the star.
I had probably 8 different recipes for chocolate chip cookies now there are none except an array of chef’s to choose from. I sure can’t remember which recipe came from which chef. There is more but I am fed up with FN and will delete it and never use it again. It’s the worst ever. Obviously the designers/techies are not cooks otherwise they would not have put together this disgusting app.
More.... I don’t like watching a video while cooking. If I’m doing something with say, oily hands, i don’t want to touch my iPhone. I loved the written recipes. I could send a recipe to my computer and save it in my recipe folder.
So having only videos is a dreadful idea.
P.S. I don’t believe the star ratings averages posted by FN. I saw a LOT of low number of stars.
The app is fine if all you want is to watch videos, but all wrong for a cook.Show lessevonne120

This app is pretty great and I only have a few complaints. One is about the closed captioning. I personally do not like have closed captions while I’m watching a show, especially if they are early (which they have been). When I go to turn them off it never works which really bothers me a lot. Another is that if I watch a show that I stopped during a commercial break it will play up to 8-10 commercials before the show comes on. I don’t know if this is on purpose or a bug but if it could be fixed this app would be fantasticShow lessHdjejdjsjdjdjdndjdj
Terrible performance, needs fixed.
This app is terrible. There are SO many things I dislike about it. If you click on a show, it starts playing an episode rather you want it to or not, and you cannot stop it. It automatically plays all of the shows backwards, so you must exit out each time and click a new episode manually. Sometimes, the episode and the recording do not match, so you may be watching the wrong episode. You must restart the whole app to get it to fix itself, and sometimes, it still does not. Sometimes, it lumps all of the commercials together. So you have to watch a straight 15 minutes of commercials. WHO DOES THIS? There is no other tv app that does ANY of this. Please, fix it. I love the shows, but I am not willing to put up with this garbage.Show lessmia810

I like the app a lot with this exception. The auto play feature on the Apple TV version. I hate it. Shows start before I even have a chance to see what episode I want to watch. Then it won’t stop right away. Sometimes I have to close the app and restart it. Then try to get to the episode I really want to watch before the blasted thing starts again on the wrong episode. Either get rid of that feature or give us the option to disable it. PLEASE! Other than that it’s great.Show lessJoe El

Lately shows have been prematurely ending.
When this occurs it cuts off the last 5-10sec of the show, returns you to the main menu and resets the episode to the beginning, as opposed to a save point.
In order to watch the last 5 to 10 seconds you have to reload the episode and scrub all the way to the end, often times watching all of the commercials again, just to watch the last 5 to 10 seconds.
As you you know with how Food Networks editing style the last 5 to 10 seconds can sometimes be the best part.
Updates keep adding more bugs. Time for a clean slate.Show lessDJPINTMUSIC
