All of my recipes are aggregated here. I once walked into my favorite food store to do my weekly shopping, only to find their WiFi was down. When I asked the manager about it, I was subtly blown off and she even suggested I should use a paper grocery list. Everybody there knows me, and knows that I spend quite a bit once a week, so I was surprised at the Manager’s attitude. I smiled and said I was pretty sure the other big grocery store in town had working WiFi and left. Long story short, something happened because the next week when I came in, I was greeted by the same manager, who told me to find her anytime the WiFi was down and she would see to it personally. That’s how much I depend on my Food Network app. ### 5/5 — Triple Screen Time *2023-08-19* Love this app! So I’m happy to offer feedback. Having trouble with the original option to view recipes on TV now. Often, on weekends it doesn’t allow you to refresh the screen when a new show comes on. You get stuck with gray vibrating graphics—for an hour or all day. So thanks for launching the new view recipes on TV now option. Less vibrating, gray graphic, but there’s still not gone completely. However, the new photo link is rather confusing. Links and clicks don’t take you exactly where you’re expecting to go. It can be hard to find the recipe that is actually on TV now and you can get caught in a circle out there in the show’s schedule section— and never find the actual recipe that has just been aired. Other than that, this is a convenient all-in-one app! With all my saved recipes, organized on boards, it’s my go to every time I cook. The ratings/comments on each recipe are extremely helpful!! Great—and sometimes essential—insights that help each recipe turn out perfectly. Great move when you enabled us to save recipes from other websites! That’s what makes this app my recipe home base. Watching Chef Tila’s first episode now. Need to turn the TV off and get going, but I’d put anything aside for Jet! **Developer response:** Hi, Thanks for taking a moment to leave us a review. We would love to hear more about your experience and to see how we can help, so please reach out to us at https://kitchenhelp.foodnetwork.com/hc/en-us/requests/new so we can assist further. Thanks! ### 2/5 — From enjoy to disappointed *2023-03-10* I’ve been using the Food Network app for a long time and I was really excited and enjoyed it first. But there are some limitations to the design of the app as well as one of those designs stopped working for me, which has been very, very frustrating. First when you’re trying to meal plan it’s not like after you cook it it goes away. You manually have to go in and take it out of your menu and the dates don’t go in the right order so you have to scroll through everything you’ve cooked or delete it to get to the next day I don’t understand that. And then at some point within the last months or a year if I put things on my menu planner, the app is screwing up and date or just take it off of that date. It won’t let me change the date. If I didn’t cook it that day it says please choose a future date when I used to just be able to. On, and it would go back into getting ready to be so I have no idea what caused that change It’s too much work and annoying and fun enjoyable. I love to cook, but due to this, I don’t search are use Food Network network recipe also if I go online or I’m trying to find that chef on the actual network TV show you find the recipe on the app I have to go to the web and look up the recipe and then copy and that is just way too much work! It’s supposed to make this easier not more complicated Sorry, disappointed you to contact Food Network. I’ve tried that to fix the but nobody is around to help out with issues Bummed **Developer response:** So sorry to hear you're in a jam, this is definitely not the experience we want you to have. Could you contact us at app-kitchen@foodnetwork.com and reference ticket 3946468 so that we can cook up a solution for you? We'll be standing by to assist! ### 5/5 — Recipe ratings are moderated very well *2023-01-21, version 7.23.1* Why are the reviews of recipes not moderated at a higher level? I have seen nasty comments about different chefs being allowed to be posted that have nothing to do with rating a recipe. Case in point moderators need to check out a rude comment left on the recipe” stuffed French onion soup burger”. Also I have seen many users posting that star ratings on a recipe should not be allowed without the accompaniment of a comment stating the reason for the rating. Please take consideration of these concerns as they will only increase the quality of what users expect on a fine app such as this one. Don’t let trash talk about chefs be allowed to be posted as a critique on the quality of a recipe. Please MODERATE comments like stated when a user goes to leave a rating. As of right now it appears someone is not doing a very good job at upholding the quality of of your site. **Developer response:** Hey there, thank you for providing your feedback regarding the moderation of comments under our recipes. It is feedback like yours that provides the most direct and accurate information upon which we can make future decisions and further understand how our app is being received. Please know your sentiment will be shared with our team for review. Thank you again! ### 5/5 — Rate *2022-10-13, version 7.22.1* I love this app. I love finding new recipes and learning new things but I feel it’s very subjective. Don’t get me wrong, I love trying out chicken, pork, and beef recipes; sometimes lamb. I just feel with all the credible chefs, they should have a lot more creative recipes. They’re very pretentious. I feel they should branch out and start cooking things like venison. My husband actually goes out and hunts deer, gets it processed then I make dinner with the processed meat. I don’t see barely any recipes with that. I just feel it’s a little “been there, done that” with these recipes. Try branching off. These chefs need a challenge for gods sake. They make so much money, and they haven’t even been trying. Try branching off a little. Make it challenging. Just recreating recipes. I used to pay for this app and now I can see why they quit paying people to use it. No creativity. Just the same stuff. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your creative protein suggestions with us, Megan. We love a good challenge for our Food Network chefs, and your feedback to incorporate venison, as well as other unique meats like bison, elk, and more will be shared with our culinary team for future consideration. Happy Cooking! ### 5/5 — App has been disappointing lately *2022-09-12, version 7.22.1* This is truly my favorite food app but something has been happening lately where the recipes on TV now are not the recipes that are on TV now. At one point I could click on the chef, at the top of that page, and see the current shows recipes but today I can’t even do that. Please fix! Thx! UPDATE! The staff reached out to me about my issues with the app. Now why can’t all app owners do this?!? My issue was immediately fixed and the app is working wonderfully once again! Thank you FN staff for responding so fast and caring about the problem(s) I had encountered. Truly grateful! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2022-08-13, version 7.21.0* I can’t tell you how often I use this app — have fresh produce I want to use? Use the app to find new recipes. Looking for a recipe similar to how my grandma used to make chicken divan… check the app. The app also lets you save recipes (in categories) and has a meal planning feature. There are also teaching videos and full episodes of some Food Network shows. I like it also when I watch a show live and I can go to the app and find the recipe and save it. My only recommendation would be to somehow change the search function so that recipes I save that I return to again and again appear at or near the top of the search results. All in all I love the app and have recommended it to others. Once you start using it and dig in, it will become your favorite recipe app. **Developer response:** Wow, thanks for the awesome five star review! We are delighted to hear how much you love Food Network Kitchen. If you haven't already, check out our 'My Boards' feature to organize all of your saved recipes. You can even add your your go to recipes to its own board dedicated to dishes you make all the time. Happy Cooking! ### 5/5 — Frustrated *2022-02-12, version 7.18.1* One of the things I liked most about this app is that it would show me the recipes on screen right then. It would change essentially with the shows. Unfortunately it doesn’t always do that. Right now my app is stuck with the show that was on at 7 o’clock this morning. It’s now noon and a whole different chef is on the screen and I cannot find them in your list of chefs much less the recipe they’re cooking. That is why I gave you the rating I did. I do go to your app quite often to find recipes and ways to create food dishes I would never consider. I enjoy your TV shows but again I am frustrated with this app when I cannot find the recipe that’s on the screen. Nickie ### 1/5 — Do not subscribe - Google is free *2021-12-10, version 7.16.0* Paid for a year w/mag subscription. Never received the mag. My subscription access was hit-or-miss for awhile until it was a total miss for over 2 months. Neither Discovery nor FN support supports FNK directly. Tickets were created - to this day, there has been ZERO resolution or contact/follow up. I had to google recipes the entire time. Since Google is free and the app has proven unreliable, why pay for something that does not work as expected? I am not renewing the plan and will delete app once subscription ends. *** UPDATE: to the developer: The email address you asked me to send an email to in response to my initial review looked familiar. Turns out I emailed back in September. Would you like to guess what type of response I received?? 🙄 I’ll forward all of the correspondence to that address; maybe since “the Developer” requested the info, someone will actually do something. I doubt it; however, …. I just cannot justify paying for this again. ### 1/5 — Awful awful awful !!! *2021-07-24, version 7.12.0* I’ve had so many problems since my last review it’s even worse than before. Every time I log in i have to change my password to get in or I can’t find my saved recipes. I contact them and they send me to the help center which isnt helpful at all. I contact them and they tell me to do different things. Sometimes they work,but usually not. This app used to be my favorite go to for recipes but they keep making it worse and worse. This is my last time trying. I am deleting it This app is so unreliable. Sometimes I can bring up the season and recipe I want, sometimes not. Mostly not. Today I keep losing it totally. I tap what I want. It hesitates then the whole app goes away and I start over. After several tries I gave up. Go back to the old version!!!! Still love the show. It’s my number 1 This is the best cooking show on tv. It’s fun to watch, very helpful and the crafts are great. I love to cook and try new things but don’t always have a happy ending. this answers a lot of questions. The chefs explain things and are a good combination that seems to enjoy themselves. Keep it up. I love it!!!! **Developer response:** This is not the experience we want you to have!
