### 1/5 — Little value or use.

*2023-03-18*

I don’t want an app based access to the magazine.
What I do want is to search for recipes. The app doesn’t even offer a search recipes option. Just a key word search for articles.
Recipes aren’t even an option from the menu.
I spent 10 minutes with the app trying to find a particular recipe with no success.
Fortunately the website does work. Found the same recipe in less than 60 seconds.

**Developer response:** Thank you for getting in touch. Apologies you're having trouble using your App, if you would get in touch via this form https://www.immediateapps.co.uk/digital-contact-form/ we can help you with this issue. Many thanks

### 1/5 — Terrible since the update

*2022-05-16*

Used to work fine. Since the update is absolutely horrendous and buggy. Alternates between not letting me swipe between articles, and then once I do finally get to an article I’m trying to read, not letting me scroll down to read it.

Won’t let you play music in the background and read articles at the same time.

Half the time the buttons don’t work, so you have to close her entire app and start all over again.

Really baffled how anyone let this get rolled out

**Developer response:** Thank you for getting in touch. Apologies you're having trouble with your App. Please would you email us at appsupport@immediate.co.uk with details of where you made your purchase so we can assist you. If you are able to include a screenshot and a subscription number with any further information you are able to supply, that would be very helpful. Many thanks

### 3/5 — Love the magazine, hate app updates

*2022-05-04*

I have loved this magazine and it’s recipes for last year.  However, ever update to the app, no matter how minor, makes logging back in is an struggle despite purchasing via My Apple acct.  also, I have to re-down load all my purchased issues with each update as well.

**Developer response:** Hi there, I'm really so sorry you have been having trouble with our app. If you require any further assistance please get in touch via appsupport@immediate.co.uk. Many thanks.

### 1/5 — I purchased all previous editions of magazine and I need to register to read them. This is wrong

*2022-05-02*

As it states in the subject I’ve purchased all previous months of the olive magazine. I used my App Store account I don’t want to sign up to another account I want to be able to read and view what I have already paid for.  This is wrong. I won’t be signing up and I’ll never purchase another edition. It seems like theft to me just to get my email address so you can ‘personalise for me’. I don’t want that.

**Developer response:** Thanks for getting in touch, apologies that you're having trouble with your App. Please would you email us at appsupport@immediate.co.uk with details of where you made your purchase, so we can assist you further. If you are able to include a screenshot that would be very helpful.

### 1/5 — What’s Appened?

*2022-04-30, version 7.0.0*

Does not function. The update needs an update.

### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose

*2020-11-15*

I have been subscribing for years. I am unable to open the app on my iPad it will not go past the opening screen. Unfortunately I will have to cancel unless this is rectified.

### 1/5 — Can’t access the app

*2020-10-26, version 5.6.4*

I have uploaded 3 magazines and now I can’t get into the app. It keeps tripping out. 🙁

### 4/5 — Fantastic

*2020-10-04*

Good app, great magazine full of delicious recipes and ideas.

### 5/5 — Inspiration

*2020-08-12*

Love this magazine. Accessible but interesting recipes for the home cook.

### 1/5 — Terrible format

*2020-01-19*

Loved the magazine, hate this app format. Not sure the developers actually read the content and more focused on the design and how it looks. You have to constantly scroll up and down on picture features to work out the words that go with a picture. Way to larger gaps between sections so you can’t quickly take a screenshot of something that takes up less than one page, it takes up 3 with so much white space. It’s just so white and bland with no vibrancy like the magazine has.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear that the current app format is causing problems. We're constantly looking at ways we can improve our apps so we appreciate your feedback and will take it onboard when planning our next pieces of development. It would be helpful if you could email us on apps@immediate.co.uk with more details (including which device and operating system you’re using) so we can replicate your user experience.
