### 3/5 — Ok app, bad offline

*2026-07-28*

Great content and I always look forward to receiving the new issue. But the app leaves a bit to be desired. Usually some lag to load the pages and the read offline option is pretty pointless as even once downloaded you need WiFi or signal to read it. App can be improved a lot.

### 1/5 — Used to be good…

*2026-04-05*

Not fit for purpose now. For some reason the developers decided to treat it like a scroll feast - the problem is it is difficult to scroll down so more often than not I can’t actually see anything other than the top of a page. Really disappointed as this once upon a time was one of my favourite apps.  GF should learn something from the remaining digitised food magazines and lay it out like a magazine again.

### 1/5 — Currently if I could give you minus Stars I would!

*2026-03-29, version 8.7.2*

1st love my BBC GGOD FOOD Magazine app when it works!
HOWEVER I am forever having to restore purchases. 
Today it got worse! Why? Simple because I had to login what happened next was that I was told I don’t have a subscription; so I checked my subscriptions and found that I have a subscription that renews next March! So maybe someone could sort this app out.
Yet again I’m having issues with thi app! It’s the same thing every time I renew my subscription it is very very frustrating

### 1/5 — Recipes unobtainable

*2026-02-16, version 8.7.2*

The app shows lots of adverts, smiley people, recipe ingredients, but not the methods for cooking the dishes. This app has always seemed very bells and whistles but lacking substance. It is so useless and clunky, IMO: it seems money for old rope and I would not recommend it.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-06-27*

Terrible app. Takes ages to download and impossible to scroll. What a shame! Will cancel

**Developer response:** Hi kado sunbear,

We're sorry to hear you are having problems. We will look into it and see if there is anything we need to fix. please try deleting and reinstalling the app in the meantime. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-05-21, version 8.7.2*

I have a subscription to Good Food but this app constantly refuses to acknowledge it. Sometimes it does but even then the app tries to get you to buy extra books and things and if you don’t it won’t let you continue.

### 1/5 — Poor app,sadly spoils top magazine

*2025-01-11, version 8.7.2*

Won’t be renewing my subscription ,takes too long for the page to open and allow you to scroll down ,even after you have downloaded,previously I had my subscription from Amazon and it all worked perfectly,so why is this version so poor??

### 1/5 — Please make this app usable

*2024-12-16, version 8.7.2*

You need to sort this app out. After a couple of years of not being able to enjoy magazines due to app lagging, freezing and crashing all the time I have cancelled my subscription.

### 1/5 — Absolutely rubbish app

*2024-11-05, version 8.7.2*

If I could give zero stars I would. Hangs all the time and I have a new iPad. Delicious magazine app works perfectly

### 1/5 — Very slow

*2024-10-24*

I find this app very frustrating. Takes forever to open a recipe on iPad, I’m using a brand new one. Works very well on iPhone but I’ve downloaded all my back issues, about ten years worth, on the iPad so want to keep using it. Bookmarks are also unpredictable to load and access recipes. Content is excellent, just let down by poor app.
