Thank you for making this possible. ### 5/5 — Each Issue... *2019-11-15, version 6.0.0* ...Is full of fabulous recipes, decor and of course suggestions for beverages for entertaining. I eagerly await each new issue and am super happy it is available electronically now so I don't miss a copy by not getting to the store in time! Thanks you for a really great Canadian magazine! 👏🏻👌🏻 ### 5/5 — Amazing recipes! *2019-10-27, version 6.0.0* Easy to follow recipes, great holiday meals! Love the colorful images! ### 4/5 — Sue *2019-07-06, version 6.0.0* I have been living in Vancouver and no longer able to get the LCBO magazine love being able to get it online. Thank you ### 4/5 — Very convenient *2019-06-30, version 6.0.0* On IPad, this is just great. Better then having to save all the paper copies, of course. It would be nice to implement hypertext linking to the web sites in the articles...would save having to switch to Safari. Still, a great app.. Update 2019: app freezes on all my iPads. I don’t want to restore it as I have 2 years of issues downloaded. Also, recent update requires wifi on, keeps “reminding” you of it...I loved using it offline, now...darn ### 5/5 — LCBO FOOD & DRINK *2019-06-20, version 6.0.0* Great. Note on my calendar when the next issue is coming so that I will remember it. Always pick up a copy for my wife and daughter. Then later will download the issue on my ap and have several years on my I- pad. ### 5/5 — Love this magazine!! *2019-06-07, version 6.0.0* I love F&D from LCBO & am super happy it’s available online! ### 5/5 — J’aime beaucoup ce magasine, très bon! *2019-04-20, version 6.0.0* Merci pour cette offre généreuse ### 5/5 — My go to cooking mag *2019-01-09, version 6.0.0* Love the online version. Easy to use and a staple when I want to do something new for dinner. Only thing I’d love would be a recipe name or ability to write my title on my bookmark list. A bit of a pain opening many to find the one. ### 5/5 — Electronic Format *2018-12-26, version 6.0.0* I had been collecting the Food and Drink magazine since 2000. Now that it is available electronically, I have retained only the magazines not archived on the site. Love the new format. ### 5/5 — Amazing but no printable version *2018-12-18, version 6.0.0* Would love to be able to print some recipes! I am in Quebec therefore don’t have regular access to the paper edition 🙁 ### 5/5 — Electronic magazine 💕 *2018-11-29, version 6.0.0* I love the concept of getting my magazines issues electronically, and being able to go back in time to see older issues without waste or having to store them somewhere in my home collecting dust. I open them and see them at my own pace knowing that I can always go back to something I saw that I liked! ### 5/5 — Food n drink *2018-11-15, version 6.0.0* Great app to help on hand with no more magazine to dispose off until the next issue. I can always look back and read about food, wine and gadgets ### 5/5 — Great option *2018-11-07, version 6.0.0* This sure beats having a stack of magazines in my house. I can easily save the recipes I want and my house is tidy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Food & Drink Holliday Edition *2024-11-08, version 7.0.38* Very disappointed in this issue. No sparkle, No excitement in the recipes just lots of adds for very expensive wines and spirits. What happened to family Christmas? ### 1/5 — App display frequently corrupted *2024-04-09, version 7.0.38* app needs to be killed and relaunched to correct. ### 1/5 — The food and drink has lost it!,, *2023-07-20, version 7.0.38* Over past two years the mag has lost its way. I have looked forward as many readers have, to each issue, since the first issue.The resipes have been depleted greatly. The mag should be renamed Drink and Food. Let’s hope we can resume to the past standard.Thank you Roy Bradshaw. ### 1/5 — Only works in portrait mode, unreadable on an iPad *2022-12-20, version 7.0.38* Useless on an iPad because it works only in portrait mode. I am unwilling to disconnect the keyboard to be able to see this magazine. other publications get it right and re-format content to suit the device layout. Why can’t this one? ### 1/5 — Won’t connect *2019-11-07, version 6.0.0* Would be a 5 if it would connect when every other app on my phone can! ### 1/5 — Odd rotation issue on iPad Pro. *2017-10-30, version 4.9.99* I’ve submitted a support inquiry regarding an issue that the screen will rotate (depending on how you hold your iPad in landscape mode). I even sent a screen recording. They confirmed this as an issue and claim to have it solved in a new release but that was about 2 months ago with no new app updates since. Fail. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work for iPad mini *2017-01-15, version 4.9.99* Can't register or synch with iTunes account. Did you bother with testing first?? ### 1/5 — Doesn't work well with One Note *2016-07-26, version 4.9.92* The best part of the app vs the printed version should be the connectivity to apps that allow you to save recipes. Unfortunately, when sending to One Note it sends low res images that can't be read. ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing on my iPad *2018-05-02, version 4.9.99* Love the content but can’t read it because of constant crashes. ### 3/5 — No need for another app *2026-04-05, version 7.2.10* You can already find the magazine in PressReader so why do I need yet another app? I like the magazine both in paper format and digital. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fabulous magazine *2025-09-05, version 7.2.10* Love the recipes, new product showcased. Always look forward to the next issue ### 5/5 — Food and Drink *2023-04-27, version 7.0.38* I’ve been collecting and trying recipes from this magazine for years… I used to get a new one and curl up on the sofa Sunday morning with a coffee and just enjoy! I’ve tried a few of the drink recipes on special occasions.. Christmas.. new years… summertime on the patio! One time we took all the recipes from your thanksgiving dinner and made them for our thanksgiving.. it was so much fun.. I don’t get to Ontario often, but when I see a new one out I tell my girls who both live there that it’s time!! I still prefer the paper copy! Keep it up.. please!! ### 5/5 — Food & Drink *2022-11-20, version 6.0.0* Ce serait bien si la revue en ligne était disponible en français. ### 5/5 — Consistently great recipes *2022-06-27, version 6.0.0* I have piles of Food&Drink mags that I have collected since moving to Ontario 20myrs ago--every issue has at least one keeper recipe (some many more), and I revisit them seasonally. The ingredients can be harder to source in smaller towns (certainly at the cottage I don't have the same access to international ingredients), but in the city, I love trying new things. ### 5/5 — The best magazine *2022-06-13, version 6.0.0* Over the years I have made so many great recipes for dinner parties. The magazine is great quality paper. The articles and pictures are wonderfully presented. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-01-15, version 6.0.0* I love this magazine .I have been collecting it since it first started and have made so meany of the recipes found in here.The things I have learned are immeasurable everything for wines too decorating .Truly outstanding magazine keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — One of the Best Magazines! *2020-06-24, version 6.0.0* With the change of each season, we would watch for the newest edition of Food and Drink Magazine to hit the shelves. I signed up for the electronic version several months ago and I’m so glad that I did. It’s a great format of all my favourites delivered right to me...and it normally arrives just as I drink my morning coffee. Thanks Food and Drink!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-03-17, version 6.0.0* Really nice app/magazine show casing drink and food. So many good recipes in this mag. I like not having to keep paper copies or recycle so much. Cheers! ### 5/5 — World class *2020-02-14, version 6.0.0* The “newish” format has taken the Food & Drink to an outstanding level. Although I am still beholden to the printed version, I love to fact that I can go back in time electronically and peruse older recipes and articles ### 5/5 — A wonderful source of recipes. *2019-12-09, version 6.0.0* I subscribe to many food magazines but this is my favorite and it’s free! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
