There is an email feature but that just gets you a small pic of the page and a view button that opens up the pixelmag site. Once on the site you are only able to open up the emailed page from the app you originally emailed from. ### 5/5 — Paula deen *2013-07-27, version 3.0.12* I wanna meet you i is what i is ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-07-15, version 3.0.12* Really goooood book(: ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-07-01, version 2.5.8* With recent stuff going on I still support Paula And I love her recipes ### 5/5 — How to delete *2013-05-16, version 2.5.8* To delete hold it down until the picture start shaking and you have little x click that to delete it ### 1/5 — Not free *2013-04-08, version 2.5.8* Don't bother! It isn't free!! It's just an app to get to their subscriptions! ### 1/5 — Dumb *2013-04-07, version 2.5.8* Some people are stupid!! It's free to download to APP yes! But you have to pay for a MONTHLY subscription! Thats the point of IN-APP purchases! Not false advertisement or a scam! Be happy you didn't lose money! ### 1/5 — SCAM *2013-04-04, version 2.5.8* It's fake free app.You have to pay monthly for a very bad price.DO NOT BUY!!! ### 1/5 — Paula deen magazine *2013-04-02, version 2.5.8* Why are you advertising it as free if you have to pay for it. This is very untrustworthy. It's false advertising like this that ruins the trust factor, you know! The only reason I rated it was because I couldn't submit it if I didn't otherwise I wouldn't even have rated it. ### 1/5 — Liar *2013-03-27, version 2.5.8* Not free. It should not be listed as free when you have to purchase a subscription purchase a book. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — My old purchases are gone! *2023-11-27* The latest update deleted 12+ special issues that I had purchased. ### 1/5 — Cannot download issues *2023-02-23, version 10.5.2* Frustrating because I am paying each month. Laney Lu ### 1/5 — Library *2016-01-24, version 6.3* HATE having to scroll through every issue one by one. Want to see all my issues again. ### 1/5 — Horrible update *2016-01-01, version 6.0* This app recently updated and it's horrible. I used to be able to see all of my subscribe to issues at once. Now, I have to scroll through one at a time to see two or three years of issues I've subscribed to. It's bad enough that I have to re-download every single issue every time they do an update. THIS APP IS NOT CUSTOMER FRIENDLY!!! Not surprised they are displaying any reviews...I'm betting there aren't any good ones!!! ### 1/5 — Change it back!! :-( *2015-11-29* Love the magazine but hate this new style app. Please change it back or give people to option to flick between the two looks ### 1/5 — Not Impressed *2015-02-09, version 3.2.1* The I phone and it was the best of the day before I get a follow back and forth to the game gym and I don't love have a lot good great to be able too much see you in at soon after the he is a very good long while to figure it is the most recent version wet hair is a wet dream about it and the rest of my life. I don't like children. Bad magzeen ### 1/5 — Awful *2013-11-05, version 3.1.4* It always crashes.... Can't even read the magazine!!!!! Has been doing this for two months! Update didn't help. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2013-10-05, version 3.0.12* I have a hard copy subscription but apparently I would still have to pay for the electronic version!? Disappointing. I won't be purchasing any more of either. Sorry Paula. Bad marketing. ### 1/5 — A little culturally biased *2013-06-26, version 2.5.8* Lacking any appeal to African Americans ### 1/5 — Way to expensive not worth it *2013-05-29, version 2.5.8* I really wanted to read it a check it out cause I have no cook book but I also couldn't afford it and I got it from a friend and its really bad so if I were you I wouldn't get it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Recipes for real cooking *2024-03-29* Love Paula’s recipes because they aren’t pretentious, use ingredients anyone can get, and most importantly - taste delicious! ### 5/5 — Northwest Chef *2020-07-07, version 10.3.1* I love your easy delicious recipes. It is a joy to make them and you use the good stuff, butter and cream, but not too much. Thank you for many years of good food. ### 5/5 — Great Recipes *2019-09-15, version 10.1.0* I don’t like to cook, but Paula Deen inspires me. This magazine is great and I cook with it frequently. Paula has become more health conscious, so the newer recipes are healthier, more fruits and vegetables, less oil and fat, but still as tasty as ever. ### 5/5 — Horrible App *2018-11-21, version 8.9* I’m having a horrible time with this app- I’ve contacted customer service- I do what they tell me- it works for that issue and then the next issue- same problem- I still haven’t been able to open the December issue **Developer response:** Hello, We are really sorry to hear about your experience with the app. We want to make things right.
