One of the best mags for recipes and Southern food happenings. Love it!

### 1/5 — Sham

*2016-04-10*

They don't tell you up front that to use this app, they want your credit card and $10. This is fundamentally dishonest.

### 1/5 — Renewal

*2015-07-16, version 5.0.4*

Cannot access subscription.  Palate says it is apples fault.

### 1/5 — No chance to restore

*2015-07-11*

It needs a Restore Purchases button. Signing up through iTunes does not provide a needed password or account.

### 1/5 — Can't access previous purchases.

*2014-10-31*

The app wants me to purchase all previous purchases and there is no way to restore previous purchases.  The only way is to sign into my TLP account which doesn't exist since my subscription is via iTunes.  How do I restore purchases?

### 5/5 — Issue with my Issue

*2013-08-25*

Paid for annual sub and received confirmation of payment but won't let me read or download an issue. Keeps prompting for payment? Help, please.
