### 5/5 — Delicious!

*2026-04-16*

Such a great app for discovering good places to eat and recipes to make. I’m obsessed!

**Developer response:** Thanks Kyymba, hopefully you've found your new favourite spot :)

### 2/5 — iPad mode!

*2026-02-17, version 1.11.0*

I might use this app if it displayed in landscape on the iPad.

### 1/5 — Bring back the physical guide

*2026-01-07*

I used to be able to buy and read the physical guide for the year for roughly $20. This was a good price and I was very happy to pay it. Now to get the full guide I will need to pay $156 a year. The SMH will still sell you a ‘critics picks’ magazine which is not the nice guide with all of the reviews that I used to buy every year. Really really disappointing.

**Developer response:** Hi CosmoCantelope,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We genuinely appreciate the feedback.
We understand that moving away from a traditional format is a big change. Our goal with the app is to make the Guide more useful in your daily life than a physical book could be. By going digital, we can now offer:
Real-Time Accuracy: We publish more reviews throughout the year, ensuring you always on the pulse on the latest reviews and openings.
Localised Content: Our interactive map plots the best dining options around where you are.
Access to more reviews: Without the constraints of physical pages, the Good Food Guide has more reviews than ever before, and users have access to both the NSW and VIC Guides.
We’ve noted your comments regarding the pricing. We are constantly evolving based on reader needs, and we truly hope the convenience of having the entire Guide in your pocket wins you over.

### 1/5 — Why not for iPad?

*2025-11-16, version 1.8.4*

Why have you not yet made the app suitable for iPad?

### 3/5 — Maps not correct

*2025-10-27*

Just a warning to users, in my initial review there are loads of map errors placing restaurants in completely the wrong location on their map. Examples are The Middle Park European shown in the middle of Albert Park and Agetha’s near St Kilda Road not in South Melbourne market. Also noted price icons in body of report don’t match the headline icons. 🤷🏻‍♂️

**Developer response:** Hi Steve in Sing, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We have resolved the location issue around The Middle Park European, we apologise for inconvenience and we appreciate that you have flagged this with us. Regarding the price icon mismatch, if you can give us an example we can look into it. Again, thank you for feedback and for using the app.

### 5/5 — Ahhh the map!

*2025-07-16*

Love the map feature!!! So handy

**Developer response:** Great to hear scottie_bb, hope it has helped you find your next favourite place!

### 5/5 — Best food app out there

*2025-07-16*

Love the recipes, love the reviews!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review jwcm1989 🙂

### 5/5 — Best app for finding restaurants worth your while!

*2025-03-10*

Such a handy app. Love having access to the Good Food Guide on the go, and the map feature makes it so easy to find quality venues near me (not just fine dining either, lots of cheap and cheerful options too!)

**Developer response:** Great to hear, thanks for the review :)

### 5/5 — Love the recipes

*2025-02-08*

All great recipes from my favourite chefs, easy to find and share with friends 😊

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review!

### 3/5 — Lacking decent search

*2025-01-07*

The app replaces the digital edition of the good GFG. The digital edition was organised into geographical areas. The new app isn’t and geographical search it very poor. Why can’t you just search CBD and get all the restaurants as before

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review Tony! We will be looking to create a collection of geographical areas off the back of this feedback. Keep an eye out for it in the Good Food Guide carousel.
