Used to be good…
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.

Currently if I could give you minus Stars I would!
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

Recipes unobtainable
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.
Terrible app
Terrible app. Takes ages to download and impossible to scroll. What a shame! Will cancel
Response from developer
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.
Worst app ever
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.
Poor app,sadly spoils top magazine
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??
Please make this app usable
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.
Absolutely rubbish app
If I could give zero stars I would. Hangs all the time and I have a new iPad. Delicious magazine app works perfectly
Very slow
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.

Not a good layout
Not happy
Constantly shutting down and so slow
The recipes and magazine are great on the whole. However, the app is extremely frustrating to use- the pages take ages to load even when connected to WiFi. The bookmarked pages don’t show and the app constantly crashes, shuts itself down. When you return to the App, you have to reload the magazine manually to continue reading, which is frustrating and time consuming.

Waste of Money
I’ve used for a long time but recently cancelled my subscription. App won’t load issues and sticks on a blank screen. I’m using a new iPad so no excuse. Customer service is absolutely diabolical to deal with, the last attempt when I contacted them the woman yawned on the phone. The code they gave me to reinstate my previous purchases didn’t work and when I tried to contact them again I was ignored. Save yourself the grief and spend your money elsewhere.

Robbery
Robbed of £5.99 to buy one issue, on reading issue I then can’t access half the recipes without a paywall popping up inviting me to “complete your collection” for £50! Sorry, I’ve paid for my issue - not half of it that I then apparently have to pay 10x as much again to access?! Shocking and unacceptable. Never ever buying an issue again.

Bloody awful.
App is terrible to navigate, frequently unable to scroll down the page to see the actual recipe and each update is worse than the last
Such a terrible app
God you need to do something about this. The app is so laggy and slow and I appear to not be able to scroll through a recipe until the app has been open for at least 5minutes. If you expect people to pay for these things they should at least bloody work.
Good recipes, pity about the performance
The recipes in Good Food are inspiring and reliable, BUT the performance of the app is woeful. Pages take seconds to load, the app doesn’t remember where you were so you have to reopen the page every time. It all makes it really painful to browse through when planning meals and frustrating when you just want to check the ingredients before shopping or getting something out of the freezer. Bought a new iPad this year as performance on my old one was so unbearably bad, but even so it’s abominably slow.

Really slow!!
I’ve had this for years. I’ve re booted it and honestly it is driving me mad! It takes for ever to load, it then sticks so you can’t view the articule or recipe and impossible to find anything
Very poor replacement for physical magazine
I have been a subscriber to the physical magazine for many years and decided to switch to the digital version this year to be more environmentally friendly. However I have found it very frustrating and have cancelled my subscription.
It is extremely difficult to navigate. You cannot see a whole page at once and need to scroll up and down, which often does not work, with constant sticking. You must then go back to the top to get to the next page, and then scroll again to see the rest of the page.
It is also not possible to print a page or download it, which I expected to be one of the chief benefits of a digital version, and this makes it very difficult to use recipes effectively.
Very disappointed with this app in place of the physical version.

Not very user friendly
I’m a very tech savvy person but found this app incredibly frustrating to use. It’s not personable at all and leaves you feeling confused as to whether you’re using it right.
Keeps losing my subscription books
Just keeps losing books I’ve paid for
