Fine Cooking Magazine App Reviews

This app is does not work. It freezes will not let you view previous purchases.

Love the magazine. App...well, they are asking that I pay for 2 issues I already have paid for, and for whatever reason, its trying to download something. From this app, you "can" submit a question and get an answer. Tried that twice, but you get some obscure "error". There have been 1 or 2 updates, which Ive done.....but....nothing! Please fix these problems, or dont have an app with your magazine.

The print magazine has top-notch content. But their digital team should be fired. I abandoned the app more than a year ago, only to come back thinking, "Surely by now, theyve fixed it." Well, not so surely. Same problems, including a download speed that requires several long minutes to even open an issue. This is embarrassing for a publication of this size and quality.

I have nothing but positive things to say about this app. My favorite feature is that there are hot links on each page that will take you exactly where you expect them to. My second favorite feature is that you can see the hot links when you first land on a page. From a content perspective, I love the recipes in the magazine / app ... Fine Cooking is the first magazine I go to to find a dish I want to cook.

Fine Cooking has been our favorite for years, now I love being able to get it on our ipad.

Ive subscribed to Fine Cooking for over 10 years, and love it. I Pay for the on-line access which allows you to make your own recipe box. This app does NOT allow me to access it. Its really just an esubscription, and a poor one at that. A solid, 2 thumbs down, disappointment.

I subscribed to the digital version to cut down on paper at home. Its OK but takes forever to download. Also the little circles that twirl when flipping some pages are awful and need to go. Not sure why the Taunton mags have this.

Each edition takes over 10 minutes to download (300mb connection) and you cant read the edition until is has downloaded in its entirety. And then....there are those annoying flashing dots on every page. Yes, I get they are hotspots but, checkout the TOC page for the Aug/Sep 2014 issue - there must be 100. Gah!!! Why not just tell us everything on the TOC is clickable and be done with it? This one subscription I definitely will NOT let auto-renew

What is up with this app? I love this magazine. But cant get the app to open. Have been trying for 3 days now!! Come on guys!! Get it together!! So annoying and frustrating!!

I get beautiful photo of pasta with asparagus. Other than that, nothing. Frozen. Deleted and reinstalled and same result.

Wont open since the iOS 8 update. Used to be a really great online magazine.

The app will not open. Tells me there are no active issues.

When are you going to fix this ap? It can no longer be opened.

Fine Cooking is one of my favorite magazines. I am a long time subscriber. However, time after time, I download an issue to find that it is gone a day or two later. So frustrating. Please fix.

Also can not open app since update. Please fix this soon!!! Tells me issues not set up. You had no problem taking my money, so FIX IT!

As other reviewers have said, the app only works sporadically - and mostly not at all. I was able to download two issues, but cant come back and access them again and cant get any new issues. I paid for a whole year, six issues and ongoing digital access to all of them. Im not going to buy any more subscriptions through i-tunes if this is how they are going to work. Poorly done Apple.

This app and magazine are my favorites. The writing, recipes and photographs are excellent. Its the only food and cooking magazine for actual cooks -- the others are just "food porn" for observers and restaurant diners - or wannabe chefs. I use these recipes and tips in my kitchen all the time, especially at holidays. I cannot tell you how many hours Ive spent enjoying cooking and eating from this app on my iPad. And I dont understand what others have written about the functionality. I have never had a problem with it launching or working, on either my iPad (1 and 3) or iPhones (from iPhone 3, 4, 5 and now 6).

I love just about everything to do with Fine Cooking magazine. The only thing I dont like about this app is how it has weird "bubbles" that appear as the page is changed. They quickly disappear though; but it is distracting.

After downloading, not only was I able to download all of my prior issues, the web links work greatly as well.

The best cooking magazine on the market; NOT a womens magazine with a few recipes amongst a zillion adverts... But a true cookers magazine. The recipes are well written, clear and concise...the sequence of working through the recipe is logical and easily understood. And if you have digital access to Fine Cooking the quality of the one line magazine is incomparable to any other cooking magazine on the market.
