BBC Good Food Magazine Reviews

Trying to look at things your have bookmarked closes BBCGoodFoodMagazine . This is crazy annoying, it takes an age to find what you previously were looking at. Contacted through app to point out fault, no response. If that worked it would be 5*.

I used to like, but with each up grade it has got slower and slower. Or it doesn’t load at all. Now it is a waste of money.

Not sure what happened with the last update, but I can’t get an issue to download. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling without success.
Disappointed and ready to cancel my subscription

First off, these are the best recipes I've seen in any magazine. It's a huge selection in each issue; way more than other magazines that are filled with advertisements or other "fillers". The only possible complaint is that it doesn't have as many interactive features as other magazines but the videos that do exist are very useful and cover helpful basic cooking skills.

The updated app restores my purchases, let’s me download - but is completely unreadable! Please fix.

Indexing terrible. Navigation Abysmal. No shopping list or print options. Content Exceptional. ‘nuff said.

Having a printed subscription is still the way to go. There is a serious downside to BBCGoodFoodMagazine . There is no way to print directly from BBCGoodFoodMagazine . There is no way to backup the issues you access to your computer. If you change iPad or upgrade your iPad you need to download all the issues again. That is assuming you can download them again. Downloads are extremely slow. You must tell it to download each issue because there is no download queue. What is the sense of the "restore previous purchased issues" when it will not and can not do that? They do not understand "Restore Previous Purchases". There are missing issues. Most of the embedded videos are broken. This new version does not have the same functionality that the previous version had. This is a cookbook and not a magazine. This is not what I purchase back in 2011, 2012 and 2013. There is no customer support.

The magazine is excellent but it needs an index or contents page on the iPad so you can quickly get to recipes. Once you have several additions it becomes difficult.

The main problem is with subscription, I have bought a year subscription from iTunes, it says I am subscribed but I cannot get the issues without paying for it again. iTunes tell me it is the good food mag who are the developer and I must go to them, they push me back to iTunes. iTunes refunded my money and said buy it again, but it still says I am subscribed. I emailed the developer, an email address at good food mag and they could not even be bothered to reply. I have now bought a subscription from good food direct and still cannot get the latest mag. Very frustrating.

Having recently moved to the USA for my job I was so pleased that I could continue to read Good Food magazine for such a reasonable price! US stores do sell the paper copy but for a silly amount of money which is hard to justify but I will continue to read Good Food via BBCGoodFoodMagazine instead, thank you Good Food magazine for a job well done.

Great magazine! Plenty of good and easy recipes with easy to follow instructions and ingredients that are not difficult to track down even here in South Africa! Digital copy much cheaper for me than the print copy which I have been buying for the past 4 or so years. Thanks for making this available.

At BBCGoodFoodMagazine is free and the magazines not, is logical. Why would we get free magazines?
We all know the Apple system. Free apps but in-app content is not free.
Works fine for me.
The GF magazine is great as ever. And I really like the idea of being able to browse through the magazine without the recipes "getting in the way", but still just a tap away.
With some videos, could be more, and links, it's great.

This is one of the best magazine apps I've found. It loads a little slow but the wait is worth it. The photos are beautiful, the recipes easy and delicious, and all the functionality works as advertised. It's a really great app. Thank you!

I have had multiple issues when I purchase my subscription through iTunes. After the last time - when apple couldn't figure out how to fix it I finally got a refund and now subscribe through the magazine directly. Haven't had a single issue since.

They give you the option of downloading two sample issues and it seems like an awesome mag/app. I love all the cool little features that it has and the yummy looking recipes. I would subscribe but 40 bucks for a year is steep. So I think I'll just hand pick the issues I'd like o buy.

Really well done! More than a digital rendering of the magazine, the Good Food app makes good use of technology. Love the way pictures and related recipes are bundled, allowing the pictures to really pop.

Mostly slow to download, and the mag/app crashes frequently. I might have to o back to the paper subscription if this continues. Love the magazine otherwise. Perhaps the developers head is in the fog.

Have always loved this magazine, living in US I can't always find it in stores, and it's always pricey. This is a great way to get the content.

The latest update is painful. Instead of being able to download the whole issue to read through, I now have to wait for each page to slowly load as I flip through. This is not an enjoyable reading experience! I also lost my saved articles from previous issues. If this does not get changed I will discontinue my subscription.

I love the recipes, however BBCGoodFoodMagazine was confusing for me I need to slow down and read better I think. All the pictures are beautiful and I have fun trying to make my food look like the pictures.
Thank you for the great book.

Despite my subscription and having the latest version of BBCGoodFoodMagazine and iOS, the latest issues of the magazine are not available within BBCGoodFoodMagazine . Customer service merely states that they should appear, but cannot help me beyond that. The content is good. I do still access to my back issues, but I PAID for the next year. Very disappointing.

Love this magazine always find useful and imaginative recipes!
