Please could you fix the app. I have the latest version , using on ipad.  I have many issues and subscription i had before and i cant access . The app wont even function at all .. just crashes as soon as you open it.  I was wanting to renew a subscription.  I have latest version. Nothing to update Please could you fix ! :-) Thank you

### 1/5 — Why?

*2025-09-02*

New update is terrible. Can't open at all

### 1/5 — Lost access to back issues

*2024-07-12*

Heartbreaking- won’t renew. Not worth it.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-04-21*

The newest upgrade is not working for me. I have been subscribing to the digital version since inception. I cannot see any magazine earlier than 2022 and despite many emails to support have had no response. I have lost over 10 years of recipes. I would give 0 stars if it were possible.

### 1/5 — Version 9 is terrible

*2024-03-23*

I can’t access my back issues (which I cook from more frequently than recent ones). I won’t be renewing

### 1/5 — Bug

*2024-02-29*

Constantly trying to get me to subscribe when I have already purchased subscription and logged in.

### 5/5 — No customer service

*2023-11-27*

I have had a gourmet traveller subscription but had to reset my iPad and now can’t login. I have email Gourmet Traveller to fix but have had no reply. 
Very poor customer service.

### 3/5 — App not working!

*2023-10-04*

Been a subscriber through the app for 10+ years. The app refuses to open since the app update three weeks ago. Just a black screen, then after 20-30 seconds it closes. Love the mag, I bought it religious when I lived in Oz and missing my bit of home. Fix the bug guys!
