Food Network Kitchen for Positive User Reviews
✓ Cannot see what the new version is...Unfortunately for me, the app updated itself. I wish I could go back to the old version. I have yet to be able to even see what this new version offers. I used to look regularly for recipes, but since the update I haven’t been able to open it. It either closes itself, or takes me to the password to open the phone (was obviously already open since I was able to click on the app.). Once I re-enter my password, back to the main screen as if nothing was ever opened. Going to delete it. Sorry Food Network, I’ve been a viewer since it started MANY years ago (about 19!), and used this app regularly, but there’s no point to keep it. Sadness..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Love that it exists but it is the dumbest app ever (with updates now!)You can’t search through your own saved recipes and pretty much all items have a name you won’t remember. Can’t search “lemon chicken” to find “general Isaac lemon chicken.” Also the collections option is ridiculous. Really, really poor design. You should be all levels of embarrassed Food Network. Update: now my app will open and automatically close. Can’t search, can’t access saved recipes, can’t use it. Update: 2018 - love the new search feature in saved recipes. That makes it sooo much more user friendly. The update stopped the app crashing too! Now - let’s get the collections part functional and we party..Version: 5.7.5
✓ Love this app!I can’t tell you how often I use this app — have fresh produce I want to use? Use the app to find new recipes. Looking for a recipe similar to how my grandma used to make chicken divan… check the app. The app also lets you save recipes (in categories) and has a meal planning feature. There are also teaching videos and full episodes of some Food Network shows. I like it also when I watch a show live and I can go to the app and find the recipe and save it. My only recommendation would be to somehow change the search function so that recipes I save that I return to again and again appear at or near the top of the search results. All in all I love the app and have recommended it to others. Once you start using it and dig in, it will become your favorite recipe app..Version: 7.21.0
✓ What did they do to this app??If they thought they were making it better they are gravely mistaken. I absolutely hate this new version. I have given it time and tried to navigate around and it is so poorly designed. I used to be able to watch all my favorite cooking shows every Saturday and Sunday morning and as I would find a recipe that I liked that the chef was cooking at the time, I could open the app and the apps home page would automatically display what show was on air. I simply tapped the show and it automatically displayed what dishes the chefs were cooking at that time which then I simply saved the recipe to the appropriate board I created in my saves. Now, I have to search around for what is on air and even when I find it, there’s a huge lag. The app is showing the show that aired previously and it’s impossible to find the new show with what they are cooking. If this is the way, the app is going to stay, I won’t be using it all and go back to other recipe/cooking websites and apps. Please bring back the old version😩 Also, you have to “search” for the freaking search engine on this app....Who designed this app? You definitely didn’t make it better. If it’s not broken, DON’T fix it!.Version: 6.0.1
✓ App has been disappointing latelyThis is truly my favorite food app but something has been happening lately where the recipes on TV now are not the recipes that are on TV now. At one point I could click on the chef, at the top of that page, and see the current shows recipes but today I can’t even do that. Please fix! Thx! UPDATE! The staff reached out to me about my issues with the app. Now why can’t all app owners do this?!? My issue was immediately fixed and the app is working wonderfully once again! Thank you FN staff for responding so fast and caring about the problem(s) I had encountered. Truly grateful!.Version: 7.22.1
✓ FlavorfulLove this app, recipes, and chefs. Wish you included cooking channel chefs and shows. Kelsey is one of my faves. Love the recipe box. I wish I could enter my own or share with other apps. I always have to go to the web and cut and paste the same recipes in this app to share. Just updated and I can't even open the app. Major crash. Totally useless now. March 2, 2018...I just saved a recipe from the on tv now DDD. I went to my stuff to make some notes and every time I try to open the recipe it takes me to a totally different recipe in my box. Always the same recipe. The app has crashed a few times lately. Please fix..Version: 5.7.3
✓ Great App!This app is great for everything from finding a quick meal to cook, to challenging yourself to eat healthier to expanding your skills. The only thing I wish it would do is have a way to consolidate ingredients into a note if I save multiple recipes so that I can go to the store, pull up one list and go from there rather than scanning multiple recipes. An in-app grocery list where I could check-off items would be great. That way I could check off what I already have at home without trying to remember in the store. That would also help prevent getting home only to realize you forgot to pick something up from the store. I would pay for that feature..Version: 5.8.1
✓ Foodie in love, recommending to others.I cook a lot, and have to say that this app is my go-to. I love the fact that there are so many similar recipes, since I love reading through a few to understand the concept, and then adapting it to my taste. This variety also means that there is a perfect dish for everyone! Definitely helps me with my picky eaters...=^\ My favorite part though, has to be the recipe box they have setup. I get to save all the dishes I like the most in, something like, folders. You can name and sort them how you choose. I've used the basic, breakfast, lunch, dinner, sides, dessert, and sauces, and the like, in addition to some more specific ones for me. Great way to always come back to a recipe that just won't stick into memory. Now I've had this for years and wouldn't trade it. I honestly don't have another recipe app for food on my phone other than this and have recommended it to many. Awesome!.Version: 6.9.0
✓ Recipes are Fantastic, Minor ComplaintsThere is no doubt that the Food Network is the best recipe app that I have used this far. The serving sizes are always accurate, and there is no shortage of new and fun dishes to make. With that being said, I have a few minor complaints / suggestions. One thing that the app doesn’t do that other recipe apps do is tell you all the cookware / utensils you need before starting. It would be helpful to know all the cookware I would need before starting the whole cooking process. The other feature that I would say needs improvement is the baking instructions. Often times there are multiple steps included in one step making it very easy to forget to do or overlook some important part of the cooking process. It would be helpful if the steps were actually step by step instead of in paragraph form. These are very minor improvements that would make a world of difference when cooking. Please don’t let my small suggestions deter you from downloading this app, as I have had a very good experience and I know you will too!.Version: 7.8.0
✓ Old Habits Die Hard.....I have always been an avid cookbook collector. It’s hard for me to pass up a display arranged to sell whether at a dedicated store or on a card table at a garage sale. When stressed or needing some ME time I would sit for hours skimming through recipes I knew I would never create but drooling over photographs of food to simply die for. I admit I still fall victim to this on occasion however I have added a new chapter to my cookbook addiction, that of this Food Network app. It is all I could ever want in finding anything and everything to do with food. It’s quick when I need it to be and quite satisfying when I want to indulge in my ME time. Very enjoyable..Version: 6.6.0
✓ Awesome variety of recipes, Corrections to Recipes inconsistentI use Food Network most every day. I consider myself quite good in the kitchen, having prepared countless meals & food items with compliments from spouse, family, friends. I browse other reviewers’ comments before trying a recipe. Food Network, why do you not acknowledge &/or fix recipes with obvious mistakes consistently? Some recipes, several years old, still have errors (found by users) & other recipes fixed. Please acknowledge errors & note them when made. & include nutrition info consistently. Until Food Network does, I will NOT consider spending extra $ for premium services if The basic product is inconsistent..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Gets better and better with each update!I love this app and it keeps getting better with every update. I love the courses, especially the ones that focus on a skill, like cake baking/decorating. I enjoy the step-by-step classes when making something I am totally unfamiliar with. It is so helpful to be able to save and categorize recipes. The meal planner and the grocery list is helpful for planning my week. It is laid out nicely and very user friendly. The one thing I’d like to see changed is to move my recently viewed recipes up to an option at the top of the Explore page. I have an older iPad and this slows things down a little. Other than that, it runs really well on my older device. I look forward to trying out the new recipe import!! Thank you Food Network Kitchen!!.Version: 7.1.0
✓ Cooking for my DadMy dad who is 80 came to live with me the summer of 2019 because he was no longer able to take care of himself. When it comes to his tastebuds he is simple and has never experienced different types of foods. He is very old school and a creature of habit. He loves to eat but he is a basic meat and potatoes type of guy because that’s how he was raised. Well I wanted to introduce him to a different way of eating and open up his tastebuds. I prepare different meals weekly from the Food Network App on my phone. My Dad is absolutely loving it. He literally is excited for dinner every night and asks me first thing in the morning, what are you cooking for dinner daughter. When I tell him he throws his hands up and says “oh boy I can’t wait to taste it” lol. He thinks I’m a genius in the kitchen and the best cooker in the world. He doesn’t understand technology, computers and apps so he doesn’t understand it’s the Food Network thats turned me into a Chef 😉. So thank you Food Network for all of your amazing recipes and the tips and tricks I’ve learned in cooking. You’ve truly made an old man happy 😊 ❤️.Version: 6.4.1
✓ Hate the update soooooo much !!!This went from my favorite app to my most annoying app. They’re really pushing premium and completely redesigned the app in the most inconvenient way. They’re pushing premium so hard that getting to my personal boards took forever trying to see through the pop up premium. I look up a recipe I see premium first. I wish they made a separate app or kept the old design and made the premium section a different column. Now I have to be a rebel and wait to buy premium because of how annoyed I am by seeing it EVERYWHERE!!!! I get it you want me to buy but it feel like one of those people in Walmart attacking me to sign up for cable services that I already have. Please push it a little less and make navigating on the app easy again pleaseeeeeeeee!.Version: 6.0.2
✓ Restaurant Quality at home.The amt of time to prep and cook was an easy flow of time and bragging rights at home or at a party. I added capers to give it an additional pop. You can’t go wrong with more garlic. Make sure you start off with 10 mins, you’ll need more time depending on the size of the shrimp. DO NOT overcook. That’s the other key to this wonderful recipe. It goes well over Angel Hair pasta or a bed of rice. Oh yeah, I used lime instead of lemons. (One lime equals two lemons) I’m telling you, stick with these instructions. You can flair out later to call it ur own. Enjoy, this is an easy meal to make but easier to eat. Since I wrote this, I’ve made it again. On the side I added mushrooms. My college bound kids love it. This dish has endless possibilities. Enjoy and don’t hesitate to get in touch with me..Version: 7.2.1
✓ I liked the old version so much betterI get the goal here, you need to develop and grow the app so you can make money off of it, but I don’t like the new version at all. And I am upset you pushed this upgrade and didn’t give me a chance to choose whether I want the new version. I don’t care about all the content you have under Premium. I used to watch the FN channel shows, see some recipe I liked, then search it in the app and save it. Now my app is full of stuff I don’t like/want under all that Premium locks. On top of that, you have a ton of adds, so it just looks awfully cluttered. I feel like my own recipes are buried, the app is so busy with all sorts of stuff I don’t care about so I am using it less and less..Version: 6.4.1
✓ Negative reviews of recipes are not accepted!When I tried the Apple Buckle recipe on this site, I was sorely disappointed, so when I registered a 1 star review and some significant criticism on the Food Network website, I got the following message:” Whoops! There’s a little trouble with our server right now. Please try again later.” I left that review up to re-enter again and again “later”, including the next day, and I kept getting exactly the same message. So, I can only deduce that the site does not really want negative reviews. Then, how representative are their “reviews” if they don’t allow negative ones? By the way, when I tried to access the same recipe again today, it was only accessible if I subscribed to their premium account. Huh? It was available yesterday, and I have printed out the recipe from earlier on. This all seems rather suspicious to me. I am uninstalling this app..Version: 6.15.2
✓ THANK YOUI’m so grateful for this app, especially while quarantined. Cooking is one of my favorite things to do, and it is extremely comforting during this time of crisis. My husband is a nurse practitioner in an ICU in Rochester, NY. I try to make our home as warm and comforting as possible because I know that his job is so incredibly tense and stressful, especially right now. Cooking can be such a sweet escape, and I’m thankful for all of the wonderful people involved in making this app so accessible to us. I’ve found so many fun recipes to make with the few ingredients we have at home right now, and it’s making this time a lot more enjoyable! -thankful wife..Version: 6.8.0
✓ FrustratedOne of the things I liked most about this app is that it would show me the recipes on screen right then. It would change essentially with the shows. Unfortunately it doesn’t always do that. Right now my app is stuck with the show that was on at 7 o’clock this morning. It’s now noon and a whole different chef is on the screen and I cannot find them in your list of chefs much less the recipe they’re cooking. That is why I gave you the rating I did. I do go to your app quite often to find recipes and ways to create food dishes I would never consider. I enjoy your TV shows but again I am frustrated with this app when I cannot find the recipe that’s on the screen. Nickie.Version: 7.18.1
✓ Ree Drumond, The Pioneer WomanI made yet another recipe from Ree and like the rest, turned out Fantastic! I made the Malted Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies last night and over baked the 1st batch and like she says, give them lots of room to spread. I have a commercial size pan and put four across and they all stuck together using the teaspoon size scoop. Ok, I only had to do it once to learn I don’t like them burned! So the next two batchesI put 12 to the sheet and only baked them for 8 minutes! Perfection!!! I did make the Dump Cakes once but it was way too much Butter. Of course, they still were eaten but would only use half the Butter next time. Thanks for having this site available for us! Great job Ree.Version: 7.8.0
✓ Recipe ratings are moderated very wellWhy are the reviews of recipes not moderated at a higher level? I have seen nasty comments about different chefs being allowed to be posted that have nothing to do with rating a recipe. Case in point moderators need to check out a rude comment left on the recipe” stuffed French onion soup burger”. Also I have seen many users posting that star ratings on a recipe should not be allowed without the accompaniment of a comment stating the reason for the rating. Please take consideration of these concerns as they will only increase the quality of what users expect on a fine app such as this one. Don’t let trash talk about chefs be allowed to be posted as a critique on the quality of a recipe. Please MODERATE comments like stated when a user goes to leave a rating. As of right now it appears someone is not doing a very good job at upholding the quality of of your site..Version: 7.23.1
✓ Wonderful aside from some inconsistenciesI have been using this app for a little over a year and I really love it! Some recipes are absolute fails (Trisha Yearwood’s snickerdoodle recipe has many things wrong with it) and occasionally there are problems such as missing ingredients from the instructions or ingredient list, no cooking time, etc. I have made hundreds of recipes and there are very few with mistakes. The one thing that really bothers me about this app that is difficult to look past is the fact that it doesn’t list the nutrition information. It doesn’t specify how much a serving is or how many calories in a serving. This is a huge issue for people looking to watch weight or gain weight. Aside from that however, I am happy with the app and can look past minor problems..Version: 5.9.2
✓ My FIRST & BEST place to find a tried & true GOOD recipesI love the Food Network & The Kitchen app. These are always my go to first choice to find a good recipe for things I want to cook. The Food Network has the best chef’s who I trust when I want to cook something special. Chefs Anne Burrell’s Surf & Turf with Grilled Vegetables is my family’s all time favorite. As well as Dad’s Meatloaf with Tomato Relish by Tyler Florence. One day I made Alex Guarnaschelli’s Blackened Salmon, Brown Sugared Carrots, Eggplant Parm & her Cannolis all in the same day. We were having company. Boy, if that didn’t delight my family & friends!! Scott Conan, Robert Irvine, Michael Symon & Bobby Flay are my other favorites. Anne Burrell taught me how to cut an onion properly. How about that? I guarantee you won’t be disappointed choosing The Food Network & The Kitchen. Enjoy!!.Version: 6.15.2
✓ This is what a food-based channel should beI love the Food TV network app. It reminds me of the shows I used to watch as a child that inspired me to go to culinary school and become a chef. They harken back to a time when Martin Yan, Jeff Smith, Jacques Pepin, Julia Child reigned supreme. When shows were about transferring knowledge and not on just being entertaining. They also remind me of when the Food TV Network was just born and shows like Emeril Lagasse’s How to Boil Water were there to cook alongside us. As of late, I had been disappointed in the network’s offerings and had been going to alternative media for food knowledge fix. Now I have the app on almost 24/7. I love it!!!!.Version: 6.4
✓ Brilliant!Loving the FN Kitchen app. The classes, live and archived, are numerous and varied. I’ve enjoyed the live classes, and Q&A interaction is easy. Content is excellent and the chefs are obviously invested in communicating effectively, imparting great info and tips, and making us more confident in our own kitchens. I am glad that all the recipes I had already saved on the Food Network web migrated seamlessly to the app. I am stoked that I can add my own recipes. I am particularly enjoying the meal plan application; it helps me with shopping and preparation, even if I’m only cooking for myself. I also place “to try” recipes into the meal planning page so those recipes are prominent in the potential lineup, even if I haven’t assigned them to a specific date. Streaming quality is exceptionally good. App is a terrific value. Well done!.Version: 7.2.1
✓ RateI love this app. I love finding new recipes and learning new things but I feel it’s very subjective. Don’t get me wrong, I love trying out chicken, pork, and beef recipes; sometimes lamb. I just feel with all the credible chefs, they should have a lot more creative recipes. They’re very pretentious. I feel they should branch out and start cooking things like venison. My husband actually goes out and hunts deer, gets it processed then I make dinner with the processed meat. I don’t see barely any recipes with that. I just feel it’s a little “been there, done that” with these recipes. Try branching off. These chefs need a challenge for gods sake. They make so much money, and they haven’t even been trying. Try branching off a little. Make it challenging. Just recreating recipes. I used to pay for this app and now I can see why they quit paying people to use it. No creativity. Just the same stuff..Version: 7.22.1
✓ ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!This app is rarely closed on my iPad and/or iPhone. I have counted on it daily since its release and keep updating my saved recipes every weekend while watching my favorite shows. So much easier than having to turn on my laptop to access food network like I had to back in the day. The only fault I can find is in myself for not keeping up with my reviews of recipes which I love in the app. I would just say when you download this app and start using the recipes, as you inevitably will, just try to be mindful of giving the chefs reviews, as they work very hard on their craft. I absolutely love each and every chef on this network and really appreciate all that they add to my life on a daily basis..Version: 6.5
✓ Great Idea!I absolutely love this app. I check it almost every day now. I’m always checking for upcoming classes and previous classes. I love having the option to ask the chefs questions during live recordings. I thought that was a nice touch to add. The price is totally worth it too. Only $35 for an entire year with a full year to try the app with all the perks for a year for FREE. I also, love the tips in every episode I’ve watched. From knife tips to the importance of having everything in order before you began cooking and building your dish. A French term “mise en place.” I love it 100%. Thank you, Food Network!.Version: 6.11.0
✓ App can still be tweakedI’m not sure yet. Still trying to navigate it. One thing I wish I could do is look up recipes from recently aired episodes. Currently I am only able to do this on the browser site— or perhaps it’s just not easy to locate on the app? It would also be nice to search according to ratings which would take into consideration number of reviews. I like 5 star recipes that are rated by 100 reviewers or more. Anyway, those are my 2 wishlist items so far. ***Update**** Thank you to the Developer response I was able to look at recipes for “on air” shows by using the On Air Now tab. I didn’t realize this also meant recipes were included and could be saved from there..Version: 6.2.1
✓ New update makes this app much worse!I love Food Network and I use the app in conjunction with watching a show to look at and save recipes. But now the app has been “upgraded” and has become much more user “UNFRIENDLY!” For instance, you USED to be able to just click the show and find your recipe in the show section. Now the show section is only for paid members to watch videos. If you want a specific recipe from a show you have to search in a general search area which brings up EVERY recipe in the Food Network stable which can be considerable. This may seem like a minor inconvenience but if you want to just get to the one recipe from the show your watching, it’s a complete pain and harder than just searching in google. The purpose of the app app is for convenience. This “upgrade” is actually a major downgrade from the way it used to be. This is a app designer making the app “better” for paid members, but making it much worse for the the rest of us..Version: 6.0.2
✓ Ads keep redirecting to websites when just trying to scrollThe new updates have been very frustrating with respect to the advertising. When scrolling down the page, if you happen to place your finger on the ad to scroll, it launches the web browser and directs to the ad landing page. It seems very sensitive to touch, especially considering I need to touch the screen to scroll. This has been the word experience of all my apps. I know you have to make money but it seems like both a crappy experience for users and your advertisers since it makes them think the ad works but it really is your sensitive tap that launches their site..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Food Network Rocks!!I’ve been a Food Network addict for years! I watch my favorite shows every weekend when I wake up and I’ve gotten tons of great new recipes and party ideas. We all get sick of eating the same old stuff and all of the shows featured will give you fantastic recipes often using the same ingredients you already have in your pantry. The app is a fabulous bonus! I can look up and save recipes I’ve seen on tv or search for new ones online. If you want to pay the really cheap price, you can also watch live videos of your favorite chefs/cooks show you how to prepare food. You can watch episodes of your favorite Food Network shows. This is by far one of my favorite apps! If you’re a foodie like me, you totally NEED this app!!! 😋.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Way to many feedback request...I eagerly installed the app this morning and not two hours later I want to delete! I opened it up for first time 10 minutes ago, and all I get are feedback request! Quite literally every thirty seconds! I took three of the same survey within two minutes. Every time you click on recipe it pops up to give feedback. If you say no thanks or not right now it keeps popping up every thirty seconds! If you take survey/feedback, then it waits until you open new recipe. The question is “How likely are you to recommend this app to a friend”...I don’t know if I would because I got thirty seconds into the app before being hounded for feedback. I had no time to explore, to truly use the app. I might have really liked this app, as I find I tend to turn to Food Network for fresh new recipes ...but now I just feel bummed..Version: 5.7.16
