FOOD & WINE for Positive User Reviews
✓ Delightful, intriguing magazine!This App and Magazine is just delightful. Great pictorials, recipes are inspiring flavour right on the my screen! Wine details are much appreciated, can't wait to try them in the near future..Version: 1.3
✓ Not perfect, but a decent startYes, it does take a long time to download but that's because there's a ton of content. Once installed, the app works just fine. Like many magazines, the creators are still struggling with the interface design. A plethora of interactive options exist, but few are intuitive or clear. The pop up videos feel clunky and added on as an afterthought. There are no sharing, commenting or discussion options, which is a real omission. Having said that, the content is rich and engaging, and the videos, for all their lack of production value, add real insight. If the designers keep working on this app they might well have a real winner on their hands..Version: 0
✓ The best.I love this app, it's well written, with wonderfull picture and topics..Version: 32.2.8
✓ Great recipesEasy versions of great recipes. Excellent wine tips..Version: 1.3
✓ Love this!The Food & Wine ipad app is brilliant! I love the versatility of this new app. The magazine format allows for a remarkable depth of content (and a fun medium through which to view it), and the cooking demo videos are especially informative and engaging. As someone who is constantly trying to streamline my day, the app is also extremely efficient. It's organized to appease those who want immediate gratification. You can very easily pinpoint exactly what you want to read (or watch), exactly when you want to read (or watch) it. Innovative, efficient, incredibly fun..Version: 0
✓ Love it!!!!One of the best food magazines out there. And the app looks great..Version: 1.6
✓ AwesomeGreat app. Magazine is very interactive. Nice design..Version: 1.3
✓ Embraces the iPadI was impressed with how the magazine was put together to utilize the new media - it felt purpose-built rather than just a port of the print format. It was great to be able to meander from an article to a mentioned recipe, then see a video of Mario Batali preparing it. Food and Wine have put together a first class app with well-planned content. My only suggestion would be to allow for download of a version of each issue with the video content included so that I can do that over wifi and avoid the heavy 3G usage on my commute..Version: 1.5
✓ AmazingWow, people, have some patience! Yes, it took a long time to download the free issue and that's something they'll definitely need to fix, but it was 10 minutes that were well worth the wait! What a gorgeous magazine! It's incredibly well done and chock full of beautiful photos and scrumptious-sounding recipes. This is seriously the first app review I've written and did so because of all of the bad reviews from people who didn't actually get to see the product. This is the absolute best digital magazine I've seen yet...by far. Kudos to the developers!.Version: 0
✓ Wonderful ap - But...I'm giving this 4 stars mainly due to the fact that you apparently have to buy further issues! As a long time suscriber, I find this irritating - no breaks for us? Yes, it took about 5 min. to download - hopefully, this will take less time in the future - but once I had it on my ipad, it was stupendous in art, etc. I can see using this everywhere - but, I honestly am not sure I would buy further issues - unless the cost is nominal (which I doubt it will be). Hopefully, I will be surprised. Should there be a break for subscribers, I might change the rating to 5 stars!.Version: 0
✓ Enjoyable readI only recently started reading Food & Wine (mostly due to Top Chef) and I have really enjoyed the recipes and articles..Version: 1.5
✓ The future of the magazineI see no need in continuing to destroy forests in order To create paper to print newspapers and magazines. This app on the food and wine magazine give you and equal , if not greater experience with the materials than you would with the paper version. I personally have not had any of the download problems that I see others have had, I can only assume it was an earlier version. So fear not this app. It will be one n your pleasures in life to sit back and enjoy reading it on you iPad ..Version: 2.3
✓ Good appI like this app, there are plenty of interesting articles and recipes and it's very inexpensive fir a years subscription, I wish it wouldn't always open with the car advert though, I'm definitely not interested in that!.Version: 2.0
✓ Great magazineI read all the reviews and then downloaded the app. Five minutes later, I was reading Food and Wine on my iPad. I am absolutely delighted with it! My house has reached capacity as far as magazines and books go, so I am that Food and Wine delivers such a quality product for the iPad. I have been disappointed by other e-magazines. The videos are great, and I really like the multiple ways to access the features. I recommend you give it a try. As for me, I am already looking forward to the next issue..Version: 0
✓ Excellent AppThis is an excellent app. It actually goes beyond a print magazine by offering interactive features and various methods of navigation. I think it also makes use of additional photography (all of which is lovely)..Version: 1.3
✓ Great read!Great read and great resolution perfect !.Version: 1.5
✓ Food and WineIts a fantastic magazine, print or digital. I do wish tho, that we could find most of the wine in Alberta. Also wish the wine club was available here..Version: 3.0
✓ FantasticDownloaded the app pretty easily over WiFi - this method is the only way to go, as there is a ton of content included and the app is large For a first version of the app I am pretty impressed... The photos are stunning and the video content adds a new level of depth to the magazine experience. As a subscriber to the print version I appreciated the extra content that came along with the Ipad version. I don't think I would ever give up the print version but I am excited and curious to see how they are going to use the Ipad in the future to bring the content to life. I can imagine propping up the Ipad in the kitchen while following recipes or video tutorials (custom stand and food-proof screen anyone?). I'm already looking forward to the next edition....Version: 0
✓ Terrific except for the fuzzy print (words not pics)I love Food & Wine. It is my "go to" when looking for inspiration or instruction. I think Grace Parisi's recipes are particularly great - always creative, even elegant, but accessible for a not -so-expert cook (me). I also think having this digital add-on to my print subscription is wonderful. So why 4 instead of 5 stars? The downside is the fuzziness of the print in the digital recipes. The pictures are as clear as can be but the quality of the print type is a disappointment and distraction from an otherwise excellent offering. (I wish I could rate this as 4 1/2 stars but that is not possible)..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Outstanding ExampleThis premiere eMagazine is an outstanding example of the future of magazine publishing. Beautiful photos, touch to expand text and comments, click videos and extras. The display of each wine bottle was very much appreciated by me; a wine lover. The recipes are great. The only thing I wished was to be able to better capture (pressing the on/off button and home button at the same time) the full text of the recipes. Maybe allowing text pinching might help this. But over-all, this is one great magazine. My biggest problem is that I probably won't be buying any more because of what I am expecting them to price it. Publishers NEED to realize that most people won't pay more than they can pay for a subscription to get all these extras. Once the interactive copy is produced, granted at a high labor intensive cost, there are no more printing or distribution costs. There are so many good eMagazines available. I can't afford to pay more than $.99 an issue or a reasonable annual subscription..Version: 0
✓ GreatLove this so far. Works well for me and love the videos..Version: 1.3
✓ Beautiful, quirky navigation in areasLove the contents and design. The navigation is peculiar in several ways. For example, the app always opens to the first issue I bought instead of either the library or the most recent version. About 20% of the time the app will need to be re-launched after crashing immediately upon startup. Each new issue seems to have a new approach to a quick navigation page. The page that takes you to recipes sorted by staff favorite etc. and separately to wines should be just a tap from anywhere in the issue. Maybe a standardized toc that allows you to choose by article or recipe/wine? More information about wines, even just taps to producer pages would be nice. Cellar tracker integration would be fun. Overall great source of recipes, beautifully presented..Version: 2.0
✓ Consider this a proof-in-conceptFor its premiere issue, Food & Wine has delivered a stunning "book" of mouth-watering recipes and gorgeous photos that underscores its name. Yes, this initial issue took a while to download, but this ain't no "fast food." It's nice to be able to savor the planning and the preparation. You get recipes, videos, and wine pairing suggestions that should make any dinner party an instant success. Will I buy the next issue? Probably, if it lives up to this quality. In the meantime, I hope the developers fine tune the download process to speed up the delivery. Fine dining should be served promptly at the perfect moment of appreciation..Version: 0
✓ The future of electronic magazinesThere are so many electronic magazines out in the marketplace now. This app stands head and shoulders above them all. As for the magazine content - it's as sublime as the culinary extravaganza it showcases..Version: 0
✓ Seriously? What are these other reviewers smoking?Food and Wine is perhaps one of the most well implemented digital versions of a magazine I have come across. While it may be true that the downloads are large and take time they are spectacular when you have them..Version: 31.3.9
✓ Love itI absolutely love this app!.Version: 104.8.0
✓ A great appetiserWonderful (and extensive) content, easy to use Navigation - I wonder how subsequent (paid, I presume) issues will compare and what the price point will be. In-depth articles trump Gourmet's app, but thats free... update : downloaded Jan 1st 2012 edition - recipe sections unreadable and resolution didn't correct itself - won't let me re-download it without paying again! NOT impressed - sort it out!.Version: 2.0
✓ Fabulous app!Great app for food and wine lovers, I only wish there were more issues....Version: 1.3
✓ Terrific app!Enjoyed reading the articles and making a few of the delicious recipes. How can I go about getting future issues for the IPAD?.Version: 1.3
✓ Great magazineThis app is great easy to use. No complaint as of yet other than feeling hungry after reading it..lol.Version: 1.3
✓ Beautiful Digital MagazineFood and Wine is presented with beautiful photography and design, and is extremely easy to navigate. An initial "how to" page gives the reader the basics immediately, but the format is intuitive, and clear icons throughout make it a pleasure to use. A helpful recipe index, and lots of in-story links made it easy to get to the information I wanted with the least amount of searching. I especially appreciate that digital videos are presented within the layout so that the reader is not taken out of the magazine format when watching video. I timed the download of the free issue over a WiFi connection at 5 minutes. I may be on an exceptionally fast network, but the slow download speed others are complaining about was not an issue for me. I hope future digital issues of Food and Wine live up to this initial offering, and I hope that the annual subscription price is reasonable enough for me to continue to enjoy this excellent iPad magazine..Version: 0
✓ Great appIt is what it is. All the mag apps require a subscription. I was able to download a free issue to preview it and I will most likely subscribe. The ability to interact with the magazine and the Internet is amazing. I love it!.Version: 2.0
✓ Be Patient and Take The Right StepsYes it's a beast to download, but my lord this app is more than worth the wait! Toggle off your 3G, same with Auto-Lock, make sure you have a good Wi-Fi connection. Start the download and then go do something else, knowing when you come back, you will have one of the coolest content experiences you can find on the iPad platform. There's a reason the download takes long -- it's rich with content, video, recipes, great photos, etc. You will find it WELL worth your wait. I'm a geek and love my gadgets, but even Wired's iPad version easily pales in comparison to this. Food & Wine thought this through really well. Download it, be patient, you won't regret it..Version: 0
✓ Lovely, but needs work in the nav departmentSome nice-looking recipes, but can't view in landscape mode and a little tricky to navigate. The nav menu doesn't come up consistently, but I eventually figured it out! Look forward to more issues and updates..Version: 1.3
✓ Amazing!Beautiful graphics and a slick interface make this a must have app for food and wine lovers. Yes it took a few minutes to download but after viewing the elaborate content it was well worth the wait. The two free issues are chalk full of interesting articles and delicious recipes. It is easy to navigate through the magazine and find exactly what you are looking for. You can always take a screen shot (using the power and home key) to save the content you need. Also you can get on their web site if you want to save a recipe. I use then Paprika app and am able to find the recipe on their website and save it to my iPad. Thanks Food & Wine for an amazing app that sets the standard for all electronic magazines..Version: 0
✓ Worth the Download WaitFantastic issue! Gorgeous pictures! I am on my way to the kitchen after I have savored every word of this wonderful first issue. Congratulations to the developer! Food and Wine just does everything first class and this issue is an example! As soon as my subscription comes up for renewal, after all these years, I am going digital! Perhaps we will be able to convert our subscriptions and we won't have to wait!! That would be great!!! Thanks Food and Wine!.Version: 0
✓ Excellent AppColorful and clear with an excellent cascading menu structure. Very good food recipes, although a pity they cannot be E-mailed direct from within the App. Certainly a good teaser to make you want to subscribe!.Version: 1.3
✓ Brilliant AppWhen people talked about the iPad changing the way we consumed media it wasn't always clear how that might look until I saw this Appa and magazine. Beautiful magazine, well laid out, takes full advantage of all aspects photography, video, graphics and, oh yeah, great food and wine. Eat your heart out Wired!.Version: 1.4
✓ Bravo!I am surprised at how elegant this little app/magazine is. Just enough interactivity placed in just the right places. Buttons, links, and digital enhancements are smoothly integrated into the traditional format so that I feel like I am reading a magazine. I like the way it handles recipes (the vertical sliding marker), the navigation between stories and related recipes, and how it lets me make recipe notes. Visually, it is as beautiful as the paper edition. On my wish list? I would like it to be landscape orientation compatible, and I wonder if they could incorporate the page turning simulation used in iBooks? Up to now I have been very old-school when it came to my magazines, buying my Food & Wine from the corner newsstand. This one is my first try at digital magazines. I wondered if it would be worth the price. At it turns out, it is. This was a near-perfect way to start. Thank you, Food & Wine. My setup: the "next generation iPad" (iPad two and a half? Third generation?) running iOS 5.1..Version: 2.3
✓ Great AppI didn't have any trouble loading but it was slow to load. I thought the content was great and that it was easy to use and very well designed. It was also nice of FandW to distribute the first issue free unlike many magazines.Version: 0
✓ Love itYes this does require some patience, about 5 minutes to download but it sure was worth it. For the first try I say well done. Unlike the fare that has/is available through Zinio this is interactive. I can click on the videos and watch them it situ without having to leave and go to a website. The recipe presentation is faboush much better than print mags where half is on one page or the are together but at the back. Love this enough to buy future issues. Keep going you are on the right track!!!!.Version: 0
✓ Very stylishReally beautiful pictures and interesting articles. I am very much enjoying having this on my I-pad..Version: 2.0
✓ FoodyGreat app, all of the recipes close at hand and fast.Version: 2.4
✓ One magazine gets itFirst of all, thank you for giving print subscribers access to the app. Many of the iPad magazines require people who already subscribe to the print edition to pay again. That doesn't make sense to me. The developers did wonderfully translating the magazine into iPad format. I really like tapping a photo of a recipe to go directly to the instructions. Two things I'm sure will eventually be corrected. The app doesn't remember your place if you switch apps. Also, it appears that recipe notes don't always save properly. It would be nice If recipes could be printed directly, or maybe emailed as a PDF..Version: 1.9.1
✓ Worthless unfortunatelyI'm an avid F&W fan as well as hospitality professional. I attend all the F&W festivals (SoBe, Aspen, NYC, etc) and have several friends who work for the company so I should be biased and give this App a great review, but I can't - it's problematic and illogical. The fact that the premiere "free" issue won't download is frustrating enough (and theoretically fixable with a patch), but to force current subscribers to the paper edition to pay full price for the iPad version is simply short-sighted. Too bad. I was really looking forward to this App and have simply deleted it from my iPad instead..Version: 0
✓ Love itFabulous to get a magazine I would not normally subscribe to, with recipes uncommon to Australia. A well designed app with good use of video. Only suggestion would be the addition of shopping list function and export. Thanks..Version: 1.7
