Good Food Arvostelua 

The magazine itself is always a good source of recipes. But the app for digital subscribers (not to be confused with the recipe search app, which they charge separately for despite it having much of the same content) is not fit for purpose. Issues show up days or even weeks after they appear on the newsstand. The app crashes constantly, recipes take ages to load and the search function is so slow and limited as to be useless. Tech support just advised to uninstall & reinstall app - it took a dozen attempts to log back in, my bookmarks had all vanished and none of the problems were fixed. I've started relying on the (free) website instead, and will either switch to a paper subscription or cancel it altogether when this one expires.

Wow wow wow wow. We are just on the train home after one of the best days we’ve had out in forty years. Our son booked us tickets to the Mylakeland VIP area at the Good food show for my 70th and wow what a treat it was.
Julie, Charlotte and Zoe were the warmest, most friendly people we’ve ever come across, we were looked after like royalty from the moment we put foot in the room, they all spent time with us chatting and it was so natural and genuine that it felt like we have known them all for years.
We thought meeting James Martin was going to be the highlight of the day but meeting those three woman topped it. We will definitely book again.
Thank you Lakeland and good food show for putting on a wonderful area and employing the most wonderful staff. Please tell Julie we will be up to see her soon in to buy everything and try the roasties. Simply wonderful.

Awful christmas edition of good food magazine.
Full of adverts without one recipe you actually would want to cook. I had been looking forward to this magazine. What a disappointment. Boring with a capital B. Such a total waste of money...

Since the recent update, the app now only works in Portrait mode, so I cannot use my fixed keyboard with it! It’s also very slow, and difficult to manoeuvre, so I have cancelled my subscription. I ask, does anyone actually check these updates before implementing then?
Update, now does Landscape.

Used topside recipe, disaster! Do not use this recipe, ruined our Sunday lunch!

Rubbish. I am moving abroad so had asked to convert my paper subscription to a digital one. They took my money - but I can’t access the digital magazine. They said to register a new account - but because it recognises my old email address it won’t let me. Tried using a new email address but it then wants me to pay for a new subscription. Instructions are hopeless - ‘register a new account from the app’ - when the app doesn’t even give me that as an option. Seriously, sort this out. I’ve been a print subscriber for many many years - am now just wishing I’d cancelled rather than convert to digital. And by the way, they told me when I converted that I could read the magazine on my laptop. Not true - only on a phone or tablet. Feel seriously mistreated here

Really? So disappointed. Was such a good resource for free recipes that I had built up over time. Now chargeable. Not impressed will go elsewhere.

I have been subscribing to BBC good food magazine for years and now found that to access a recipe that was on the cover of a September issue last year, I have to PAY £2.49 to see the recipe online. I have misplaced the copy of the magazine that I kept for that specific recipe.
I have to pay twice for a recipe? No.
BBC Good Food just lost me and a few friends after telling them about it!

I have been receiving the good food magazine for years and have loved it and have kept many a great recipe which I have cooked over and over. But lately the last 2 years it has become a ‘busy mum quick fix dinner’ read. All the recipes are similar effort to an open sandwich ( in fact a lot of the recipes are open sandwiches.)
It seems to be aimed now at people who don’t like to cook and just need to put food on the table. Will be cancelling subscription.

I've used the good food site for many years, but recently the web management has been shoddy, links don't work or are still set to the previous days heading. The site doesn't appear to update until later in the day and recipes posted are old.

A few of the recipes I've tried are OK, but a lot of them downright awful. There should be tested a lot more before being published.

I have just received my May copy of the good food mag. I have been getting this from the day it started. I have been so disappointed with it recently because of the adverts. This issue takes the mick though. I’m definitely thinking about ditching this mag and sticking to the other food mags

I used to love the BBC Good website. But every time I go on to it now I'm bombarded with adverts. That's why I am reluctant to go onto the site from now on.

I submitted a partly critical review on the lemon pancake recipe and it wasn’t published. I then submitted another review using a different account which was not critical and it instantly got published. Don’t waste your time relying on reviews as BBC GoodFood fail to publish some critical reviews - misleading people by not publishing somewhat bad reviews. I wouldn’t even bother with them again. Stick to having kindle recipe books where you can edit and comment on recipes saved.

DON'T BOTHER WITH THE APP, IT DOESN'T WORK.
I have had the app for years. I was happy to pay the subscription because the app used to be very good, but since paying the subscription I've been unable to access my saved recipes as they no longer sync and the functionality is rubbish. I cancelled my subscription and managed to get a refund. The website is free and actually works!

I have been with goodfood for a long time now. I have been paying for the subscription since it started. The app is just a waste of time. I have it on all my devices and use it a lot. The app hasn't synced in ages. I have messaged, emailed them and have no responses from them. What a total shambles. I have removed and reinstalled all the apps a lot of times, make no difference. Its about time they sorted this.

From free to now way overpriced - really?

Shame on you BBC or whomever is purporting to the manager of this app. So much for looking after your community!

It wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the fact that content is nowhere near worth subscribing to! Let alone at a premium rate?!

I've been baking for over a year now and have learnt to avoid this website. Their recipes are frequently dreadful but always come up as "five-star" in Google searches due to the BBC site's highly dishonest practise of only listing the five-star reviews they get, and not the many other less favourable ones. Remember: their star ratings are NOT AVERAGES! They are simply ignoring the worse ratings. Be sure to read the comments before embarking on any of their recipes.

I booked this for my partner and her mother in law and they had an amazing time and came back with wonderful drinks and food. I recommend this and my partner said it was smooth and people were lovely. Well done all
