Crashes

I deleted and redownloaded but it still crashes.

App crashes upon launch.

The app crashes on multiple devices when launching.

Doesn’t work

App won’t let me load any current issues. Most recent issue is from 2019..
The Italian language version seems to work.
Fix your crap!!

Free Pass

I can’t even get past this screen.
I’ll stick to the website.
According to other reviews and my personal experience, this app needs a lot of work

Free pass rip off

Got a free pass but it only provides you one issue. Not a subscription. Don’t bother

Crap. Don’t download. Free pass doesn’t work

Not worth the time. No free pass. Nothing.

Access prob

I managed to “succeed” in my free trial but cannot actually “open” each article for recipes/stories. It is just flip through the contents w/out content. What gives?

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE

Do not subscribe; they don’t deliver the digital subscriptions - I bought the one year subscription back in March, which includes 4 quarterly issues. I got the 1st quarterly issue upon signing up, but it’s now November and I still haven’t gotten the 2nd issue. I contacted support through the app twice, and no one has responded to me. I contacted the developer directly and they haven’t responded. I contacted the App Store and they refuse to give me a refund because they said I have to take it up with the developer. I’m extremely disappointed. This was my favorite food magazine when they used to offer it in print.

Agree with the low ratings

This is either a scam or the app and code is being written by a bunch of 12 year old idiots. Downloaded the app, entered the promo code, received the confirmation email, got sent back to the app and... nothing. Click on either of the 2 magazines shown and it says I still have to purchase them to read. Run from this app because they need to see that crappy promo come-ons do not endear them with their audience. Apple needs to start policing mis-leading apps like this. A useless wish but maybe somebody will get this done.

Frustrating

I’m giving this app two stars because of the content, even though much of the magazine’s really good stuff is available on the web site. But the app is very frustrating to use. The “Free Pass” offered appears to be nothing more than access to a single issue — and apparently only two issues are available at all (this probably links up with other reviewers’ complaints about their subscriptions. It’s surprising that a company with the history and resources of Condé Nast would put out such a half-arsed product. In any case, I’ll be deleting the app forthwith.

App does not work

The app doesn’t work. I entered my free pass code and followed up with the verification email but I can’t access any of the magazines. Sadly, a complete waste of my time, not to mention sharing my email address unnecessarily. I’m not very happy with Bon Appétit, either, as I signed up in response to their suggestion.

Does NOT Work

Useless. Free Pass doesn’t work. Apparently they just want your information.

App doesn’t work

I paid for the subscription, got confirmation that I have it for one year but can not access the app after multiple attempts. I’m trying to get a refund. Hugely disappointed.

Scam or a bug?

Did everything it said for my “Free Pass” activation. It still wants me to pay $15.99 a year to open an issue. Waste of time.

Amazing recipes and great articles

My wife and I subscribed to this magazine in print years ago, and we still have our old copies on our bookshelf very well used. So far, the digital edition looks every bit as good.

It’s a shame that the free promotion was a bit confusing in that the promo code was below the fold and many people obviously missed it. The poor App Store rating most definitely does not reflect the quality of the app. As another reviewer said, this magazine is worth every penny of its subscription price.

Free Pass Not Accessible

In order to activate the free pass the code LCIPROMO2020 is required. I did that and it worked. Thank you! The magazine is full of recipes I cannot wait to try, and places I dream to visit. Thank you.

Love this Magazine!

Not sure what problem everyone is having getting the app to work. I had no problem. I’m sure I will be asked to pay at some point and I will. Absolutely worth every penny. Amazing recipes, wonderful stories about families and chefs. Beautiful pictures. I was a subscriber for years before it went out of print in the US and am ecstatic that it is back. All the one star reviews are based on the app evidently not working but don’t let that sway you regarding the material. Amazing.

Free Pass form void of info

Offered free pass, downloaded app, tried to fill out the free pass form, but it is void of info in the boxes - is not clear which kind to enter name, contact info, email or free pass code. No button to press enter. Severe glitches that need to be worked out.

Doesn’t work

I thought I had free access but it asks for payment.
