I have a few complaints though. Why aren’t all the Food Network shows on the app? Brunch with Bobby? 30 Minute Meals? And some episodes are missing from the shows they do have. The website has been reformatted also. I used to search by episode and save the recipes from the episode I was watching that way, but now I have to search by specific recipes who can is annoying. The ads are super annoying too. Not the fact that there are ads, but the ads themselves are annoying and they’re for gambling, dating and personal hygiene products and they are often repeated an obnoxious amount of times. ### 2/5 — Recipes *2026-02-01, version 9.5.0* Very frustrated and disappointed. Where are all my save recipes and how can I look at new recipes on shows? ### 3/5 — WAY TO MANY ADDS *2025-09-03, version 9.3.0* It’s a good app except for the fact that every 10 minutes you need to watch 3 minutes worth of adds! ### 2/5 — Where’s my recipes?? *2025-06-12, version 9.2.0* I have been saving recipes from “food network “ for years. Now all of a sudden they completely disappeared from my iPad!! I totally loved that app. I even gave away my cookbooks because I totally used food network with my saved recipes. Any idea how I can retrieve them!!!! I repeat, it was a good app that was much better than watch videos of how to make something. Bummer. ### 4/5 — Quality *2025-06-04, version 9.2.0* Sometimes it seems the streaming quality is slightly off from the voices ### 3/5 — Recipes *2025-04-27, version 9.2.0* On the old app I could get the recipe as I watched the shows. So far I haven’t found that on this app. I have to google the recipe to get exact measurements etc. is there a way? ### 2/5 — Constant freezing and crashing on new iPad *2025-03-12, version 9.1.0* A new iPad. Updated. This and HGTV App are terrible. ### 5/5 — The kitchen *2025-02-01, version 9.0.2* Love the show, I've been watching it since it started. I love Katie Lee but her upspoken voice drives me crazy. She raises her voice at the end of a sentence. I think she needs a voice coach. There are others on cooking shows, but she is way over. Look up the word “ upspoken”, that's how I found the usage of the word Love her dearly, but I have to watch muted with closed captions.’ . ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-01-24, version 9.0.1* Linked to my tv provider. I still get all the ads very frustrating ### 2/5 — Can’t download shows for offline viewing *2025-01-03, version 9.0.1* Going on an overseas trip soon and wanted to download some episodes for my flight. Sadly there is no option to save shows for offline viewing, even for short periods. That’s a basic feature for modern video apps. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless App *2026-07-24, version 9.7.0* This app is hard to use as a source of recipes. I find it totally useless. ### 1/5 — Getting rid of seasons *2026-06-19, version 9.7.0* The reason I loved food network was the seasons of the shows. Now it’s a measly one season. That is ridiculous because who wants just one season of a show. It’s ruined the app. ### 1/5 — Not everyone has a cable provider. *2026-05-29, version 9.6.0* It’s great you have the app but it would be nice if you didn’t have to have a cable provider to be able to watch. ### 1/5 — Programming *2026-05-19, version 9.6.0* Need other programming not just Guy and Bobby like used to. So tired of seeing them instead of baking contests and other people not just early morning shows. I don’t watch anymore unless baking contests and other programming is on. ### 1/5 — Where are my recipes??!! *2025-11-08, version 9.4.0* These guys have two apps now, one for the print magazine (which makes no sense), and one for their TV shows. I am here for the joy of food, not for watching overly produced fake dramatic cooking contests. Absolutely zero access to my recipes, really??!!! ### 1/5 — Owned by fascists *2025-09-19, version 9.3.0* This is a Nexstar company! Do not download this app if you believe in free speech. ### 1/5 — Recipe boards *2025-04-06, version 9.1.0* Unable to access my recipe board from the old food network app. This new app is useless to me ### 1/5 — Hate the changes *2025-03-31, version 9.1.0* With the previous website, I could watch shows and when I saw a recipe that I liked I could find it at that moment and keep it. I don’t see that option on the new site so it is of no use. Terrible. ### 1/5 — Where are my recipes? *2025-03-23, version 9.1.0* The old Food Network app offered recipes and spot to save recipes you tried and wanted to save. The new is just a streaming service. ### 1/5 — What happened with "CHOPPED" volumes 1, 2, 3? *2025-03-21, version 9.1.0* Tonight, March 21 2025, I went to continue watching Volume 1 of Chopped and there is Volume 1, GONE! Then when I looked at Volume 2 there was only one show. There are only 2 shows on Volume 3. What is going on? I am missing a LOT of shows I had access to yesterday. Time to dump Food Network app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-08-10, version 9.2.0* I just want to ask you to do House of Knives again ### 5/5 — The Kitchen *2025-06-30, version 9.2.0* Great show ### 5/5 — Changes *2025-06-27, version 9.2.0* Lots of changes. Used to be able to search for a recipe. You changed things and now I can’t find ANYTHING!!!! ### 5/5 — Great app Highly recommend *2025-04-20, version 9.2.0* I love the food network. With this app I can watch anywhere. The app functions seamlessly. Never have an issue with streaming. I absolutely recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Food Network *2025-04-06, version 9.1.0* Love it!!! ### 5/5 — Food Network *2025-03-28, version 9.1.0* Wonderful web site and great recipes! ### 5/5 — Love *2025-03-23, version 9.1.0* I love the network and I really love the app because it is live! ### 5/5 — Love all of my recipes *2025-03-16, version 9.1.0* Absolutely time saving ### 5/5 — Thanks Support! *2025-03-02, version 9.1.0* Update! The helped me fix this! This app consistently makes me link my TV provider over and over again. And it doesn’t work on my iPhone but works on my iPad. It won’t load the Dish login screen. Worse, I switched providers and even though I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it keep wanting me to login with DirectTV. I don’t e an have them loaded on my phone. ### 5/5 — Chefs choice 😂 *2025-02-21, version 9.1.0* Killer show love Gordon --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
