Works fine for me.

I have a print subscription. I still prefer that when I am cooking but this app is great for searching and deciding on a menu.
It loaded quickly and I was able to get back issues to the beginning of my print subscription.
I have an iPad 4. None of the crashes reported it the other reviews so far and no trouble getting the free issues I am entitled to.
I have a large cookbook collection but Fine Cooking is my go-to for how-to.
