Which saved recipes could be organized in folders. App also logs out and doesn’t know I’m a subscriber and should have full access. Take a look at NYTs cooking app…. So much better! **Developer response:** Hi Sfogirl! Thank you for your review. To help you enjoy the app more, we would love to understand the specific issues you are facing. Please contact us with more detailed information at meredith@cdsfulfillment.com. ### 2/5 — Should be a recipe box *2024-11-24* This app should have a recipe book type feature where you can search the full catalogue of recipes. I don’t think as many people are interested in just reading old magazines on their phone as would be in having a way to easily search and access recipes. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking time to give us a review.

The magazine is great but often the app won’t recognise I have a subscription and will suggest I pay 5.99 per issue.

Food and Wine app is simply a clunky and unfriendly way to view the magazine digitally. Worst app ever. Love the magazine but better options out there to subscribe to. ### 1/5 — Unable to access my subscription *2022-10-26* I have a subscription, but I am unable to access the magazine, and I don’t see anyway to correct it.

When I selected one it just shows me a picture of a cake with some text… no recipe, no way to access a recipe. What is this app for again? Pictures? I would like my money back please! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Long time reader of other magazines but… *2024-05-08* I love F&W for its simplicity and its balance between culinary, beverage and trends.

It just stays with the loading logo on. Used to love the digital issues but since they changed the format I had to order the issues in print ### 5/5 — Got us set up *2019-03-29, version 35.0.0* We had similar problem as many others—couldn’t access past or present F&W issues digitally. Called publisher, they referred us to ZinioPro. A few emails back and forth and we now have access to back issues and just got April issue on iPad. Zinio support staff very responsive and quick turnarounds. Glad to have F&W going again—let’s eat! ### 5/5 — Lost all my favorites....yet again *2017-10-15* Every time there is an update, I lose the recipes that I marked under favorites. Wasting too much time; redoing selections. Hard copy is more reliable ### 5/5 — 구매내역삭제부탁드릴게요 *2016-04-11* 구매내역삭제부탁드릴게요 ### 5/5 — The best. *2015-03-17* I love this app, it's well written, with wonderfull picture and topics. ### 5/5 — Seriously? What are these other reviewers smoking? *2014-10-26* Food and Wine is perhaps one of the most well implemented digital versions of a magazine I have come across. While it may be true that the downloads are large and take time they are spectacular when you have them. ### 5/5 — The best mag. app ever. *2013-08-17* If you like to cook and drink a great wine, this is the one for you. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
