Fine Cooking Magazine at Mac App Store analyse

This is a lousy app if you are a print subscriber. Theoretically you should be able to pair the app with your print subscription info and get FREE access to the issues that fall within your subscription period. But in practice it never works and the app asks you to pay (again!) even for issues you have already received in print. Deceitful! It is the last time I renew my subscription to Fine Cooking.

I am such a fan of Fine Cooking magazine. My favorite type of recipes in FC are those where they give you the basic recipe and then provide a variety of options so that you get many tastes from one basic recipe. That is the way to cook! I love leafing through the hard copy magazine, but when it comes to cooking I take my iPad to the kitchen open the app and follow my FC guide to tasty dishes.

I paid for a years subscription twice because I thought it may have been cancelled by accident. Well I cant access anything. Not at all worth what I paid even the first time. I hope I can reach customer service to get a refund. Not at all satisfied

I am a long time a print format subscriber but I also love Fine Cooking Digital. Unlike many other magazines, this one works in both portrait and landscape. You can zoom in to the pictures and back out to see the entire page. It also gives you a visual hint of items you can click on and dive in. Thank you for not taking shortcuts, youve made this digital version really usable and therefore enjoyable. If I could ask for something- it would be other media type clips to help the experience - animation, video to illustrate techniques for example.

App works fine, but there are issues downloading issues occasionally that resolve themselves in a few days. Magazines themselves look good. When opening the app, I get a message that the developer needs to update the app as it may slow down my iPad. It most certainly does and looks to be last updated in 2014. When I attempted to contact the support team through the app to complain, sending them an email fails with an error message.

As a print subscriber, the digital format does sync my subscription.

Keeps crashing, please fix.
