What people like
- Beautiful pictures and great recipes
- Content feels purpose-built for digital
- Good articles and video content
What they complain about
- Support never actually helps you
- Keeps asking you to pay again
- Recipes are hard to find or missing
Long time reader of other magazines but…
I love F&W for its simplicity and its balance between culinary, beverage and trends. I have subscribed to other magazines both in print and virtual but F&W always delivers inspirational menus and ideas.
Dont trust
I cant download the last issue I have been contacting them for more than a month and dont answer. I am a suscriber since 2014, have try all inclusive reinstalling the app. They wont help you
Digital is nice
We worked with ZINIO to get app running. Works great now. Content and user interface is easy. Library and bookmark features we use often.
Better app needed
Hard to search even when I know the exact name of that recipe I’m looking for. Which saved recipes could be organized in folders. App also logs out and doesn’t know I’m a subscriber and should have full access. Take a look at NYTs cooking app…. So much better!
Hard to manage account
Big improvements in the latest update but I still find it very hard to manage my account or understand my subscription
Love it
I absolutely love this app!
Not a fan of the app
I have been subscribing for over a decade but I trouble accessing issues of any date. While I understand that some older issues may not be available, I cannot even get the current or last issue. And The app is always asking me to “purchase” an issue.
Food and Wine
Its a fantastic magazine, print or digital. I do wish tho, that we could find most of the wine in Alberta. Also wish the wine club was available here.
Should be a recipe box
This app should have a recipe book type feature where you can search the full catalogue of recipes. I don’t think as many people are interested in just reading old magazines on their phone as would be in having a way to easily search and access recipes.
No recipe search and organization
The food and wine website allows for direct access to recipes. Please add that to the app. I don’t need the full magazines.
Issues
Issues doesn’t let you pick pdf
Does not work
iPad Pro 2024, and app immediately crashes. Love the magazine, hate the digital.
Foody
Great app, all of the recipes close at hand and fast
Useless for finding recipes
I subscribe for the recipes- this app is pretty much just a collection of the articles. If there is a way to search recipes it was certainly not intuitive.
Love the magazine
I’ve had this digital magazine for over 10 years. Recently it has be some very glitchy. Currently, I can’t access the new issue or several recent ones without getting a prompt to subscribe or buy. My subscription is good through January.
Won’t download
None of my issues will download, it’s completely useless. It just stays with the loading logo on. Used to love the digital issues but since they changed the format I had to order the issues in print
Won’t open
Won’t open
Very stylish
Really beautiful pictures and interesting articles. I am very much enjoying having this on my I-pad.
Content is great…when you can get it
Beware that this APP will suddenly stop allowing you to access your newest issues. The support team has been very responsive in sending me the issues but cannot figure out what is causing the problem. Good luck.
APP ISN’T WORKING PROPERLY
The magazine is awesome. The APP continues to need work. I have both print and digital subscription but I cannons open the digital version without being asked to subscribe. Yet, on the account page, it clearly list my account number and an active subscription.
Got us set up
We had similar problem as many others—couldn’t access past or present F&W issues digitally. Called publisher, they referred us to ZinioPro. A few emails back and forth and we now have access to back issues and just got April issue on iPad. Zinio support staff very responsive and quick turnarounds. Glad to have F&W going again—let’s eat!
Terrible app
Constantly locked out of my iTunes subscription. Restore function does not work.
Great app
It is what it is. All the mag apps require a subscription. I was able to download a free issue to preview it and I will most likely subscribe. The ability to interact with the magazine and the Internet is amazing. I love it!
Do not like the new format
The new format of the app is absolutely horrible, all my favorite recipes went away, and I have 6 years worth of them stored! I am not sure whose idea it was , web news is annoying too , I would rather have the magazine with all its previous bells and whistles , favorites, page review, back button...also can’t make an issue purchase ..
Have fixed my access
Have fixed my access, at least for now. I’ll wait and see. I have both the print and digital subscription but the app only recognizes my print subscription and so limits my access to the digital content. Have contacted support but it was useless. Probably an automated system which just kept telling me how to log on.
Lost all my favorites....yet again
Every time there is an update, I lose the recipes that I marked under favorites. Wasting too much time; redoing selections. Hard copy is more reliable
Access not available
Not sure what I am doing incorrectly, but the app will not let me sign in nor will it allow me to read any magazines even after I subscribed. Seems like a waste of money to me.
Good app
I like this app, there are plenty of interesting articles and recipes and it's very inexpensive fir a years subscription, I wish it wouldn't always open with the car advert though, I'm definitely not interested in that!
Subscribe but can’t access account
I subscribe through Apple. But cannot log in, even though it lets me Log in fine in my computer. Even though I’m a subscriber it tells me I have to buy every issue. What’s the point ?
Difficult to use
I
The best.
I love this app, it's well written, with wonderfull picture and topics.
App problems
Good publication, but terrible support for the app. Each year when you pay/ renew your subscription I unable to get the new magazines. Had the same problem last year. Good luck with Support!!!! If you like this publication, save yourself a lot of time and frustration and just get the printed version. F&W is no help, nor is Apple!
A great appetiser
wonderful (and extensive) content, easy to use Navigation - I wonder how subsequent (paid, I presume) issues will compare and what the price point will be. In-depth articles trump Gourmet's app, but thats free... update : downloaded Jan 1st 2012 edition - recipe sections unreadable and resolution didn't correct itself - won't let me re-download it without paying again! NOT impressed - sort it out!
Subscription thru iTunes is a Mess
I like this magazine and when I can actually get into my subscription. But there are clearly issues dealing thru iTunes. When you go to support the have a special subject for these issues. I’ve had this problems on and off for years. FIX IT.
Food &Wine
What do I know? I'm still using a iPad 1!
Seriously? What are these other reviewers smoking?
Food and Wine is perhaps one of the most well implemented digital versions of a magazine I have come across. While it may be true that the downloads are large and take time they are spectacular when you have them.
Noooo recipes!!
I just paid and downloaded the Food and Wine app. I searched for ‘chocolate cake’ and a few options came up. When I selected one it just shows me a picture of a cake with some text… no recipe, no way to access a recipe. What is this app for again? Pictures? I would like my money back please!
Lovely, but needs work in the nav department
Some nice-looking recipes, but can't view in landscape mode and a little tricky to navigate. The nav menu doesn't come up consistently, but I eventually figured it out! Look forward to more issues and updates.
Terrible ipad app
There is a bug for the ipad app where the magazine just closes repeatedly- very annoying.
Issue
I'm a Canadian subscriber to both Food & Wine as well as Travel & Leisure. I cannot find another area to voice my concerns so I chose this. Since your latest update I cannot access the Buy area at all all I get is an error. To this point I have never had an issue. I love the magazine & I sincerely hope that you can resolve the issue. Joan
Embraces the iPad
I was impressed with how the magazine was put together to utilize the new media - it felt purpose-built rather than just a port of the print format. It was great to be able to meander from an article to a mentioned recipe, then see a video of Mario Batali preparing it. Food and Wine have put together a first class app with well-planned content. My only suggestion would be to allow for download of a version of each issue with the video content included so that I can do that over wifi and avoid the heavy 3G usage on my commute.
PAID BUT NO ACCESS
I have no access to the magazines I paid for. No one has contacted me; I just receive notifications that a new issue is ready. I need to hear from somebody.
Great recipes
Easy versions of great recipes. Excellent wine tips.
Not easy to use
We have a subscription so easy to flip thru digital mag. But, hard to find recipes. No easy way finding on page.
Great magazine
Downloaded easily although take awhile. Good articles, great recipes and like the video content as well. All in all one of the better digital magazines I've seen so far.
Enjoyable read
I only recently started reading Food & Wine (mostly due to Top Chef) and I have really enjoyed the recipes and articles.
I have continued problems trying to access new magazine issues
Please help. I am billed every month but can’t accès the new issues. This has happened before and was resolved for a short time.
Not perfect, but a decent start
Yes, it does take a long time to download but that's because there's a ton of content. Once installed, the app works just fine. Like many magazines, the creators are still struggling with the interface design. A plethora of interactive options exist, but few are intuitive or clear. The pop up videos feel clunky and added on as an afterthought. There are no sharing, commenting or discussion options, which is a real omission. Having said that, the content is rich and engaging, and the videos, for all their lack of production value, add real insight. If the designers keep working on this app they might well have a real winner on their hands.
Good content, terrible navigation.
This has all the great content from print issues of Food & Wine but the navigation through the content is horrible and cumbersome.
Great content .. But awful setup
First impressions are everything .. Hopefully, people hang tough through the setup process.
