Have had one issue downloaded and now after the recent update the app doesn't open. Complete waste of money - thank you BBC for fleecing me. ### 4/5 — Review *2014-12-26* Any recipe I tried was a sugsess. So I will explore new ones, in the hope that my family will try and like new tastes. Thank you ### 1/5 — Do not waste your time *2014-11-18* The update to this app has absolutely no information concerning the the update. Given what this developer has done to another app, it would be extremely unwise to download this updated app. The app tend to be buggy and are strictly a marketing tool. There is no way to print the digital version of the magazine issues. There is no way to backup the issues you do purchase. If you upgrade your iPad or have to factory reset the iPad, you have to download all the issues again. That is assuming that you are able to download the issues. If you want easy cooking magazine get the paper version. This app is not worth the time to download it. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2014-10-23* I have paid for an annual subscription. I can no longer access my saved issues or new issues as the magazine app crashes as soon as I try to open it. At this rate I expect a full refund for this year and last year! ### 1/5 — Mr *2014-10-06* Crashes as soon as I open it since upgrade to ios 8! ### 1/5 — What's with the crashes? *2014-10-06* Been working fine last few months but now can' get in!!! Get this fixed guys. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2014-10-05, version 3.1.23* Worked perfectly for 12 months plus and now crashes as soon as you open it. Pretty angry as I've been a subscriber for a year and now can't access it - I want a refund! ### 1/5 — Katie *2014-10-02* Can't review this app/magazine properly as it crashes as soon as I try to open the app. Disappointing ### 1/5 — Easy cook *2014-07-18* How do I cancel further orders can't seem to find where to do it.

Help!! ### 4/5 — Cool *2013-07-19* It's a good mag, but not much to choose from ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No support *2026-05-09* My subscription renewed for 2026 and neither magazine or Apple will help me see issues beyond 2025 despite several calls and emails to both 😡 ### 1/5 — Useless app *2026-02-18* Unable to restore past purchases for 2 months. Have emailed multimedia but have had no response. Followed their trouble shooting but nothing works. Fix your app and respond to emails. ### 1/5 — Impossible to make any purchases *2025-12-13* No option to purchase a subscription. When I click to purchase a single issue, I receive an error message but have been charged anyway. Sent multiple e-mails to customer support but never received any reply. ### 1/5 — Subscription renewed but still charged for issues *2025-07-01* Subscription renewed end of May and since then 2 issues have been released. These have not been included and are priced at $7.99 apiece. Restore purchases does not work in this instance. Reporting to Apple and BBC Magazines has not warranted a responses. ### 1/5 — Update has caused me to not get my subscription...why update a app that was working perfect! *2021-04-20* Useless paying for a magazine subscription that now doesn’t work...update has completely broken a working app that had no issues... ### 1/5 — Update - sign in or no access to ‘owned’ magazines *2021-04-19* I don’t want to have to sign in for new features. I want to be able to view the magazines I’ve paid for previously as magazines. Poor update and it won’t now let me redownload my back catalogue. Rubbish !! ### 1/5 — Offer of £14.99 for 10 issues but charged £19.99! *2020-02-14* Clicked offer but was charged full price. Trying to find a contact link at the moment ### 1/5 — Easycook *2019-11-19* Hi I’ve subscribed to this for years and have recently lost everything, no one to contact download again and nothing very disappointed can anyone help please ### 1/5 — Easy cook *2017-07-16* Very poor quality! More than unhappy and have no confidence in any future participation with this product!

I do have the BBC Good Food magazine delivered but recently many changes have been made & the recipes are not too my taste. These recipes are in easy cook & to follow on this app. Hope it continues to deliver.! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-01-09* Have been buying the magazine for years then got the app not a bad thing to say about it excellent recipes and tons of great tips top notch. ### 5/5 — Just the best *2016-10-03, version 3.3.60* I have been getting Easy Cook direct to my iPad for some years ,it's easy to read ,the recipes are good easy to follow and also makes good reading and full of good ideas for kids .its my Best Buy x ### 5/5 — So gooood *2013-10-12* Love this and everything is so easy ### 4/5 — My main source for recipes *2023-02-26* I use the app to plan our meals, The only complaint I have is that the search function only allows one word prompts meaning if you are looking for a recipe or a main ingredient the present system brings up everything. If you wish to find mushroom risotto, if you put in mushroom you get every entry for mushrooms likewise with risotto. ### 4/5 — Issue 157 not full downloading all pages *2022-10-30* Issue downloads 100% but only goes to page 54. Have deleted issue and same thing. Otherwise great mag and interesting recipes. ### 4/5 — Great app! Delicious recipes! *2017-06-05* Easy to apply recipes. Quick whole meals. My only issue was with the yearly subscription icon. Otherwise fantastic! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
