### 1/5 — Lousy customer service

*2025-07-23, version 5.8*

Cannot download June/July issue.  Nobody seems to be able to help and nobody wants to take responsibility.  Waste of money!

### 1/5 — Paid subscrbtion

*2025-03-01*

I have a paid subscription and the June issue won’t load. There is no direct contact to fix the problem. I submitted the issue with the App Store but I don’t know if they can help. I will probably have to cancel my subscription and I don’t want to because I love the magazine but I’m not going to pay for it if the magazine won’t load.

### 1/5 — Multiple requests for help, still no access to magazine

*2024-07-25*

I have been a digital subscriber for years. Lately I keep having problems accessing the magazine. I have a current subscription with about 8 months left in my subscription. Yet I cannot access the magazine. Each new issue that’s released requires me to contact support to ask for help to be able to view the magazine. It is now one week to August and I still cannot access the June/July issue. I have sent numerous requests for help. I get email replies asking to send my info including receipt of payment. I have sent the requested info multiple times. I still cannot access the magazine. I do not recommend this app. It is nothing but frustration.

### 1/5 — Lousy customer service

*2024-07-20, version 5.3*

Cannot download June/July issue.  Nobody seems to be able to help and nobody wants to take responsibility.  Waste of money!

### 5/5 — App is garbage

*2024-07-17*

This app is terrible. Long time subscriber, very disappointed. Going to cancel my subscription if I can’t access it!

### 1/5 — Missing issue

*2024-07-12*

I have not received my June/July 2024 digital issue of Taste of Home. I have reached out for help and only received one email asking questions, which I have answered over a week ago and no response or magazine have been received. Subscription will be cancelled in December. At least an eleven year subscription and I get no help. This happened last year, too.

### 1/5 — Paid subscrbtion

*2024-06-12*

I have a paid subscription and the June issue won’t load. There is no direct contact to fix the problem. I submitted the issue with the App Store but I don’t know if they can help. I will probably have to cancel my subscription and I don’t want to because I love the magazine but I’m not going to pay for it if the magazine won’t load.

### 1/5 — Terrible app with nothing useful

*2024-02-25*

I absolutely LOVE Taste of Home magazine.  But the publishers really need to come into the 20th century when it comes to technology! Yes, I meant to say 20th century! This app basically is a copy of the magazine.  That’s it.  Nothing actually functional.  Their app is useless and their website is incredibly slow and so heavily laden with pop up ads, it is nearly useless as well.  It’s a simple concept:  develop a real app that functions like your website is intended to be, and make it accessible to those who subscribe to your magazine!

### 5/5 — Excellent Service

*2024-01-12, version 5.3*

1/11/24 UPDATE After posting my critical review, I sent an email to Taste of Home support. It took quite a few emails back and forth for me to accurately explain my problem with the registration but the ToH people were patient and persistent. Yesterday I received an email stating my registration had been completed and I’m now able to access the app with all its benefits. Their service and commitment to satisfy this one customer has been amazing.

### 1/5 — Can’t access

*2023-12-28*

Every time I attempt to register my print subscription to gain access to the app, the fields clear as soon as I hit submit.
