Women's Weekly Cookbooks for Negative User Reviews
✓ Downloads not monthly!I noticed that while I pay a monthly subscription, the downloads are not monthly. Eg, I just downloaded Cakes and Cupcakes today but my last available download was the 2-Day a Diet from TWO months ago. It's unfair to charge a monthly fee and not provide the said service. It also makes it very difficult to track which book is for which month of subscription. I am a loyal customer as I have also purchased most of the other available books through this app. What makes this very frustrating is there is no one to contact regarding this so I hope someone sees and responds to this. I'd hate to cancel. Thank you!!.Version: 3.0
✓ Don’t waste your money on this appOr any other publication from this group. This is the second time application that has been updated and has wiped all my prior purchases. No warning, no recourse and no support..Version: 9.0
✓ Slow downloadsNot sure why all the one star ratings, unless people are expecting to get the recipe books for free. It would be nice, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. My gripe is that after purchasing a new title, I can't download it. Usually it doesn't start, but even when it does, it stops halfway through with an error message..Version: 1.6.1.1
✓ Slow to downloadTakes forever to download but otherwise OK. I bought the books but have now downloaded them as well so that I take them with me when I travel..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Free???Very misleading. Free to down load app, then pay for each recipe. Google Moroccan lamb and you'll get over 100 recipes, the top few will be fabulous. I'm amazed people would pay for recipes..Version: 2.0.1
✓ All my purchased books are gone - refund pleaseWith this latest up date all my purchased bookies are gone, tried restoring purchases only option is to subscribe! The description in the App Store still reads you can purchase individual books but that is incorrect app does not allow for this anymore..Version: 9.0
✓ Why can’t the people updating this app get it right.I have issues since 2015 . How come they are not on the app. I HAVE PAID . for these issues and there are recipes I have book marked please return them to the app..Version: 9.0
✓ Lost purchases which have not been restoredSince the update I have lost all of my previous purchased cook books. It was reported, a fix it email was sent to me and I still can not restore my previously paid for cook books. Do not waste your money on this app. It is a huge disappointment..Version: 6.0
✓ A Huge DisappointmentI agree with all the other reviewers. I don't know why it needs to be upgraded because it is worse than the for the following reasons: 1) I lost my previous purchases despite restoring them several times 2) I used to be able to view all publications. It now I can see only 6 3) It takes a long time to download a new publication 4) The support team is not very responsive - I have submitted my problem to them 3 or 4 times. The only answer I get is they will get back to me - the emails I get from them is a standard reply to customers. It's so bad it doesn't deserve even one star..Version: 6.0
✓ Can't view the sampleSo far the sample hasn't downloaded despite installing it over 12hours ago, so not impressed sorry.Version: 2.0.1
✓ More Books PleaseI LOVE The Womens Weekly cookbook collection, I have grown up with them, and have looked to them for all my cooking...from learning to boil an egg, to baking as a teenager, to making my children's birthday cakes, to preparing beautiful dinner parties.....but I simply can't understand why the whole selection of books cannot be available on ipad, please hurry up and release them so I can move my favourite cookbooks into the modern age along with everything else.Version: 2.0.1
✓ ClunkyI don't like this ap. I found it clunky and hard to navigate. I retread the instructions in an effort to ensure that I wasn't the problem but it still wouldn't progress as promised and took more trouble than i was willing to take. Unless there is big improvement with more flexible use I won't be taking this forward on a permanent basis..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Lost all my downloadsAfter they update the new version, I lost all my books that I purchased online! Its truly annoying!.Version: 9.1
✓ Lack of ability to print make this a looserAt first I was having a split screen issue where I could not diplay the rcipe on a full screen. I deleted and reistalled the app. That resolved that problem so I raised the rating to 2 stars. The lack of printing ability is a real pain. I do not like to keep my iPad in the kitchen with water and other things that do mix well with electronics. I like to print out a working copy which can get wet and greasy and then get trashed. I would also like to print or copy the text to make up my grocery list. The one or 2 recipes I have tried were not bad, but for all of the aggravation, I will search for my recipes on the web..Version: 2.1.0
✓ New iPad and can’t open anything in Library.Can’t find anywhere that addresses the problem in FAQ’s..Version: 7.16
✓ Do not subscribeThe app has removed all my previously purchased editions, there is no reply to my support requests..Version: 9.1
✓ Lost all my previous purchases!The new app doesn't even have my previously purchased books on there. I am able to restore only one of the many that I have bought. Looks like they no longer exist on the app! I want a full refund for all the books I can no longer get please. I have paid lots of money to have these books. Not fair at all..Version: 6.0
✓ DisappointedPrevious purchases have disappeared and there appears to be no support to get them back or get a refund. Subscribing appears to worthless as there are limited issues available and some that are pictured are apparently ‘archived’ and not available. I would rate lower than 1 star if that was an option..Version: 9.1
✓ Great but more books pleaseLove this app, love the books, love woman's weekly cooking, however there have not been any new books to buy in months, was hoping to have more than four books to choose from by now. Come on woman's weekly you have so many great books and recipes - please put them in this app so we can have them in digital format..Version: 1.9.1.1
✓ Duplicates and cookbooks not receivedI have been in love with AWW Cookbooks since I was a child. I was so excited that they had a digital app. Unfortunately it has been extremely disappointing! I subscribed for over 2 years, so far I have received duplicate copies and I only got 5 cookbooks instead of the 12 that I was supposed to have received for the year(1 per month). I have emailed their support and messaged their social media account but nobody even cares to reply. This is thoroughly disappointing 🙁 I have unsubscribed but still not received what I have paid for..Version: 7.17
✓ Charging twiceFrustrating you can’t add the books you already own in print without having to buy them again.Version: 7.17
✓ Purchases gone!!!Got a new ipad and the cookbooks I had already purchased are now missing. The only option I have is to pay for them again!!!!!!! Not good enough. Why should I have to buy them all again????.Version: 2.2
✓ Lost multiple cookbooks in upgradeThe new update has shows only 12 cookbooks total. I have been using the old app for ages and have collected many many more unfortunately restoring purchases has not given me my entire library back and I am very disappointed. New format and display are inferior to previous even the cookbook covers have been changed making it hard to work out which one is which from previous. A lot of mucking around with the app for zero benefit it is poorly designed and unfinished..Version: 6.0
✓ Where are my cookbooks?After recent update all the cookbooks I purchased have disappeared. Tried to restore purchases through app, no luck. Contacted company and have not heard anything and still no cookbooks. Update is really bad.Version: 9.0
✓ Where's the nutritional info gone?I used to look forward to adding a new cookbook to my collection each month. Now, there have been two in a row with no calorie counts or other nutritional information. This is very disappointing. It used to be great to know how healthy recipes were so I could make good choices to help me lose weight. I won't be buying any more books without it!.Version: 2.1
✓ Very disappointedIf you haven't updated then don't! I have lost all my cookbooks which I have paid good money for and my many emails have received no response. Either restore our purchases or give us a refund. This is a very inferior application. Very disappointed AWW and I would discourage anyone from purchasing AWW cook books and using the application..Version: 6.0
✓ Disappointing titlesThis is a lovely app and is really well presented. It may just be me but I find the choice of titles to be really disappointing - I can safely say that there is absolutely no chance of me ever using any recipes from the Pop Cakes issue and as there's already been a Children's Cake issue in the few months since this started I think they should be choosing something with a broader appeal..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Free ???????This app, for slow cooker recipes states that it is free. But all it does is download the woman's weekly cookbook series interface which then requires you to purchase your preferred cookbook. At about $4.50 for each. False advertising I reckon ..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Not good valueI have been using Women's weekly cookbooks for most of my life, so when I saw this app I took out an annual subscription. To my surprise however this does not gain me access to the whole library. I still have to pay to download most issues. What is going on? Not good value so far..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Better to have it than notAll great recipes that are easy to follow and produce tasty food. Always!! It would be great to be able to search all recipe books for a recipe. I know I’ve seen a great beef rib recipe somewhere but I can’t now find it again! And you can’t organise bookmarks. Ie slow cooked or chicken dinners....Version: 7.16
✓ Glitchy appThe app won’t let me make a purchase. Super frustrating. What’s the point.Version: 7.16
✓ More books please!!I love this app but am impatient for more books to be available on it!!!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ All older issues are missing!!I've been collecting all the cookbooks since the app first was released a few years ago. I own every single one. This new update only shows the last 12 books. Were are all the others???.Version: 6.0
✓ Rip off and no supportAll of my many previously purchased cook books have disappeared and unable to be restored. No support. Disgraceful and unethical behaviour. Apple should not allow this app in their store..Version: 9.1
✓ I wish i hadn't upgradedAfter upgrading the app, I lost most of the older issues of cookbooks that I had purchased via a subscription on my iPad over quite some time. Tried restoring. Tried the archive. Checked the FAQs. Useless. Not happy!.Version: 6.0
✓ No support if purchased through the App StoreMagshop would not provide support because they had no visibility of my digital subscription despite me providing evidence of my subscription (via email) purchased via the App Store. I have an iPhone 12 mini running 15.0.2 and the app only allowed me access to one cookbook. I tried deleting the app and downloading again as suggested by Apple support but no luck. I have no choice but to cancel my subscription. Would love to know if anyone else uses this app..Version: 7.17
✓ What HappenedThis has been one of my favourite apps but since the last update the app won't even open, this needs to be fixed ASAP.Version: 7.0
✓ Where are my cookbooks?!!Like so many other people reviewing, I've been pouring money into this app to buy your cookbooks, some as recently as last month! Now I open my app only to see that my money has gone down the drain because you've removed all the back issues. Give us back our books, or give us a refund. Currently cancelling my subscription with you. Very very disgusted with you AWW..Version: 6.0
✓ Love it, but....I can only see a half page of a recipe, with the next recipe showing on the other half page. Could you fix this problem as I do love the recipes. I have tried reloading a few times, but the same problem occurs..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Mrs K. WilkinsonA great app, but most disappointing that there have been no new books for many months. I was looking forward to having a much more comprehensive collection than a mere four books and one freebie. Please add more soon! I have just bought a new iPad, and some books I have paid for are refusing to download. This is most frustrating, as I want to use them..Version: 2.2
✓ BoringI had high hopes for this application given the quality of the AWW cookbook collection but I have been decidedly disappointed. Whilst the recipes in the available books are of a high quality, there are so few recipes to choose from and until AWW make more available I personally cannot recommend this application; four books and a complementary trial are simply not enough for any serious user..Version: 1.9.1.1
✓ Do not buyI am a long term customer and I have lost over $700 worth of cookbooks I have purchased. I have also been given the run around from their support team. Don’t waste your money.Version: 9.1
✓ Doesn’t workApp is broken, don’t waste your money. Non existent customer service..Version: 8.0
✓ Please sir, may I have some more?It would be useful if a list of recipes contained within a cookbook might be available prior to purchase. Once purchased however the recipes are well written and easily followed. I was disappointed to find that there are only 3 cookbooks available in this format, odd considering there are so many available for hard copy purchase..Version: 2.0.1
✓ DisappointedVery disappointed older books that I have purchased are no longer available. Will not be purchasing anymore..Version: 6.0
✓ Lack of accessI can’t access cookbooks that I have purchased.Version: 7.16
✓ Waste of moneyI thought this "subscription" was giving me access to more then 1 book. I paid about $10 for a short term subscription to only 1 cookbook which I have in paper format at home. Anything else requires further purchases. I use a lot of apps, this is the most frustrating and hard to understand that I have come across. A waste of money and very disappointing. The electronic cookbook itself was good, just no access to anything other then the book I had on paper..Version: 2.1.0
✓ ThievesWent to get Mother’s Day recipes only to find can’t access my collection anymore. Disgusted.Version: 9.1
✓ Not enough booksI really like this app, but can't understand why there are not more recipe books, The Australian Women's Weekly have so many great recipes, I have bought dozens of your books over the years, now it would be nice to access them on my iPad. Hope to see more books in the near future..Version: 2.0.1
