Cooking Light Magazine App Reviews

Too much money

$4.99 is too high for an e version of this magazine. Drop the price or add a decent subscription rate.

Bad experience!!!

I am a big fan of iPad magazines and have been sending huge mountains of paper magazines to the recycling bin. So I was delighted to check out Cooking Light which has been a long time favorite. Downloaded the app, decided to bypass an individual issue and go right for the online subscription as the magazine website advertised a great one year price. So tried unsuccessfully to purchase the subscription. Tried again a few days later and was successful until I realized I had just paid double for the paper subscription. When I called to have the transaction reversed I was told that the iPad subscription is only available to those who have a paper subscription. So hold off on this one until these folks get their act together.

update to iPad

Please update this app. for the new iPad. I could only read turned in one direction. Not everyone hold the table on the short side...

Disappointing

The magazine is good, the app is not. Good luck trying to log in after the first time. I wont buy another magazine with this app

Just like the magazine

I found this opened and viewed just like the mag. Pictures on my ipad were crystal clear and beautiful.

Help and Fix needed

I bought a subscription last month through itunes, got first issue and all seemed well. I received notification about newest issue today, went to app in newsstand and have no way to download. Lots of support for print subscribers with problems. Pretty useless for people like me. Fix this ASAP please.

Too bad

Wheres the recipe index??????????

Do NOT Update

Current update will delete all your issues and you will have to download them all again. Companys response is lame as they say updates are necessary. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO DELETE ALL YOUR DATA AND COST YOU TIME AND MONEY TO DOWNLOAD 2 YEARS OF ISSUES. TERRIBLE PROGRAMMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

unhappy customer

I have lost all my back issues and the app is telling me my subscription is inactive! Prior to loading this new app, I had no issues! I am trying to use app to contact customer service, but it does not seem to work.

Cooking light

Love the magazine, love having it on my ipad, hate that i can never figure out how to download the most recent issue

Terrible

I just lost all back issues and my subscription. Awful user experience. Tip: you need to hire a better quality assurance team.

A fraud

Paid for this subscription but cant get any magazines. It doesnt work. Dont waste your money.

Not User friendly!

Too many issues, wouldnt recommend this app. Have problems with account access! The bugs need to be resolved!!

Delicious recipes

The food tastes great but I have to agree that it does take getting used to the layout

Cant sign in to Cooking Light Digital Edition account

I purchased my Cooking Light Subscription via Apples App Store and so there was no set up of a Cooking Light account but I would like to use this feature that is supposed to be part of the subscription. How can I do this? There is an in app help option but it says my request times out every time I try it. HELP!!!

Cheapskate is too nice

With all the progress in apps @ CL gives us this sorry excuse . I want to be able to save recipes that are specific to my limited fat diet. I Luv the recipes I find & want to put them in one place.. You even eliminated the scan feature in the hard copy magazine ...poor choices for your audience.

Feel short changed

I was hoping that I would be able to quickly navigate and save recipes via a search method. Im very disappointed.

Disappointing

Ive subscribed to Cooking Light for years and just downloaded the app. I thought it would be a great adjunct to the magazine and website, allowing me to search recipes and ingredients, save my favorites or plan meals. What a disappointment. I was surprised to see that you can only browse the magazine. I dont need an app that does less than the hard copy. At least with that I can tear out recipes wed like to try and place the keepers in a binder.

PDF of magazine

Not really useful. 1. You have to download the current issue (or any issue) to view it. 2. You cannot export recipes to an app like Anylist for meal planning and grocery shopping lists. Deleting this app (again). I had tried it before, then deleted it when I realized how limited it was. No improvements.

I Like it

Regardless of what others say I had to see for myself. I enjoy this app. Everything that I need is at my finger tips. Good, fun, great reading and recipes for the home chef. Buy a wireless printer if you want to save the recipes. keep up the great work Cooking Lite.
