## What is Sainsbury's Magazine?

Sainsbury’s magazine is a must-have for people who don't just have to cook... they love to cook! It's packed with delicious recipes from the UK's favourite chefs and recipe writers - from midweek meals to impressive bakes and easy entertaining ideas to impress your family and friends.

But Sainsbury’s magazine is not just another food magazine! In addition there are many beautiful pages filled with ideas for all the other important areas of your life; from health to home, travel to style and beauty. Top writers cover subjects such as money, work, relationships and all the issues affecting families today.

Sainsbury’s magazine has more readers than any other glossy monthly magazine in the UK. Here is your opportunity to find out why!

The iPad/iPhone edition brings you selected pages from the latest issue as soon as it is available. You can subscribe within the application for full access, which brings you every page of the issue and a searchable archive back to March 2004. Issues are not sold individually - for the duration of your subscription you have access to every issue in this archive.

During your subscription you can sync back issues to your device. These will remain in place if your subscription expires, unless your device removes them (for example when running low on disk space). Re-downloading issues requires a current subscription.

• Swipe or tap the page edges to flip to next/previous page.
• Use the animated thumbnail view to flick through the pages.
• Pinch or double-tap pages to zoom.
• Switch between single or double-page view.
• Search the current issue or the archive.
• Tap any page links to web sites, email addresses, phone numbers or maps.
• Tap contents-page links to jump to a particular article.
• Sync back issues to your device for offline reading (requires wi-fi).
• Network connection required otherwise.
                                                                      
We recommend first running the app within a wi-fi area so it can sync the latest issue to your device - after that you can use it anywhere. Subscribers will receive new issues automatically.

Subscriptions are available within the app at the following prices:

Monthly £1.49
Annual £17.99

In addition, please note the following standard features of auto-renewable subscriptions:

• Your payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions will renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Apple Account Settings after purchase.
• No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during active subscription period.

### 2/5 — Love hate

*2025-06-02*

The search part on the app for recipes is AWFUL!

### 5/5 — Sainsbury magazine

*2024-07-21*

I love this mag!!  First found it 25 years ago when visiting Britain. Great recipes, stories, etc…

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2021-09-29*

I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to download the Sainsbury’s magazine app as I’ve bought the printed magazine for years. The app is easy to use and especially useful to search previous copies. Now we’re back to commuting, I can easily read it on the train! Love it!

### 5/5 — Great Recipes

*2021-07-16*

I like this magazine. It has some good recipes.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-03-03*

My hubby bought the subscription to the Sainsbury’s Magazine for a Christmas present for me.  I received the mag but am unable to view the digital copy.  Not satisfactory.  Won’t have it again. I also sent them an email over a week ago and had no response! Hope all subscribers aren’t treated like this.

### 1/5 — This doesn’t work.

*2020-05-08*

Downloaded the app.  Was greeted by a message telling me that there would be fewer issues owing to Covid. Then ... nothing. Just a blank screen. Have reloaded. Got the same result.

### 1/5 — How do you register????????

*2020-02-28*

Received magazine and thought I’d download app. I have subscriber number but can’t register.  Where is this option?.

### 1/5 — It’s a con

*2018-12-09*

I stopped subscribing and now I cannot see any of the magazines/recipes that I paid for already for over a year. An absolute con!

### 5/5 — Brilliant recipes that work every time

*2014-07-29*

Love this food magazine. Always has loads of recipes I love to cook - quick, easy and impressive! That's my kind of cooking :o) Subscription includes access to back catalogue of all previous magazines too - so I don't cook from anything else!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2014-07-14*

Don't buy it! Unless you subscribe you only get about 5 pages! Very disappointed!
