Taste of the South Reviews

Purchased issues are not even remotely easy to access. They are part of a “stack” of all of the issues that you must flip through to find the ones you’ve purchased. And that problem will just compound as more issues are published. I’ve bought several issues and now it’s just too much trouble to try to search for them. (Not to mention that my bookmarks also disappeared.)

The previous design of TasteoftheSouth was fine and included a sort feature to show purchased issues. The current design is absolutely terrible. I’ve essentially lost the money I’ve put into TasteoftheSouth because of their terrible design decisions.

If I could I would rate zero stars! This update corrected nothing! I purchased the subscription one week ago, emailed and messaged you, but still am unable to access even one issue to read. I am only given options to purchase( which I've already done ) or preview. I am extremely frustrated. I have purchased several printed issues and enjoyed them, which is why I wanted a subscription. Digital is my preference. You offer this option but have not delivered the product. Please refund my money as you have failed to provide adequate services to your customers. All reviews have said the same exact thing.

TasteoftheSouth is not very user friendly I have found. Every time I open it it asks me if I want to restore my issues and that it may take a lot of bandwidth. I thought when I downloaded an issue it was installed locally on my iPad. It's very confusing.
Also not sure what you are supposed to do when finished with the magazine and are at the end. Can't seem to find out how to go back to the beginning.
But I love the recipes and photos in this magazine.

I like TasteoftheSouth , especially the search feature, but sometimes I just want to print a recipe and that can't be done. There is an email feature but that just gets you a small pic of the page and a view button that opens up the pixelmag site. Once on the site you are only able to open up the emailed page from TasteoftheSouth you originally emailed from.

Great recipes! The previous reviewer indicated they wanted to print a recipe and save it and could not, however, I just do a screen shot and save it that way. Works perfect, and I can magnify when needed. I just save the screen shot in my cookbook app!

This is not easy to navigate. I cannot tell if I have a subscription or not. When I click on a new magazine it wants me to buy it. Also new special issues do not show up. Or.....they are behind in posting them. I am ready to cancel the whole thing except I love their magazines. I got an email today saying they have a new special issue and it is not there. Bring back the old app. It was easy to use. Enough complaining.

I just love Taste Of The South magazine. I was SO HAPPY to find the iPad app! I love taking my magazines & recipes with me when I travel anywhere! Love it!

I recently subscribed to Taste of the South print edition & was excited to look up TasteoftheSouth for it, thinking I'd have access to it, plus some extras the way other magazines do. I was so disappointed that I'd have to pay for the digital version after already paying for the print version!!! What a rip off!!! I will be deleting TasteoftheSouth, as I won't pay twice for the same subscription!! This was a HUGE let down!! =(

TasteoftheSouth is impossible to use anymore. I have to flip through all the magazines to find the ones I bought. Super annoying. It was easier when it had the ones you purchased in a list so you can pick which one you wanted to look at. Why did you change it?? I think I'm going to cancel,it's just to much of a hassle.

Recipes are excellent though. But it still crashes.

TasteoftheSouth is no user friendly app. I had to delete TasteoftheSouth and when I downloaded TasteoftheSouth back to my phone I couldn’t get the magazines I had purchased . This also happened to me once before with the same app a few years ago

I have been wanting this subscription for a long time so that I purchased it and then I am only given the option to buy not download anything I tried reinstalling TasteoftheSouth nothings working so therefore I am requesting a refund please fix this issue

You'll never find your purchases, new update won't let you get past without subscribing to a monthly purchase. I have bought special issues that I now can't get to. Need to warn Facebook cooking friends.

As bad as the previous release of TasteoftheSouth was, at least one had access to their paid subscription. My annual subscription just renewed, yet I cannot access my magazines. Time to request a refund.

It doesn’t seem to update. I bought a $20 yearly subscription, but I can’t access new issues whenever they come out. It doesn’t even show them as an option on TasteoftheSouth .

I purchased a year subscription and cannot open new issues without it wanting me to purchase it first. Horrible app! Going to ask for refund.

Like the other reviewers mentioned, it will not recognize purchases or subscriptions. Keeps wanting you to buy again!

I subscribe to the print versions of Time, Entertainment Weekly, This Old House, Consumer Reports, Southern Living, Dash. I don't have to buy a second subscription to read them online. Will be deleting TasteoftheSouth as soon as I finish this review.

I just updated my app and now none of my previous purchases are available. I love this magazine but am very frustrated at being unable to restore my purchases. Please fix this!!!

I subscribed through TasteoftheSouth Store...what a joke! I have not been able to download anything! I would like my money back!

You cannot tell just by glance if you purchased them anymore unless you scroll and touch each one. Very very inconvenient and tiresome, makes me want to scream at the developer who changed it. WHY????
