Bon Appetit for Positive User Reviews
✓ Wonderful Magazine and Decent AppWhen I learned my normal subscription to Bon Appetit included a digital copy, I was ecstatic. Initially, on my 1st generation iPad, the experience of reading the magazine I loved on a touch screen was good. Then, when I upgraded to an iPad with retina display - wow. The images are more eye popping and more beautiful than the paper version - that is for certain. Some people have complained about the size of the download, but Bon Appetit is a highly visual experience so it makes sense that high resolution graphics are going to require a sizable download. Typically, I keep all back issues archived and only have the current and previous issue downloaded at a time to conserve space. I've seen others post about numerous technical problems but I haven't experienced any of them. It's an amazing cooking magazine and an excellent application if you have one of the newer iPads..Version: 3.6
✓ LoveLove this app. I,m am a professional cook and bring my I pad every where. This app. Is easy to search and save favorited. The recipes are above the other mags. Love it..Version: 4.0
✓ BetterI really like the current format- actually hated the old one so much I didn’t use the app for a long time (sorry everyone!). Suggestion to the developer: would it be possible to allow users to choose the format they prefer in settings? That way everybody could use the app the way they like it best..Version: 5.2
✓ Works finePeople rating above aren't paying attention to the options while signing in. Type in your account or address. Then on the next prompt DON'T type in your email and password if you ALREADY have one. That screen is for the creation of a NEW set of login creds. Select the option for already having a login and password..Version: 3.9.1
✓ Very Visually AppealingI am beyond satisfied with the Bon Appetite digital magazine! Very beautifully laid out and very visually appealing. Yes there are ads, just like a real magazine. You swipe right to go pass them. Just how you would turn a page in a magazine. I love how you can click to open recipes. I also love how my place is saved when I navigate out of the app and go back in..Version: 4.6.7
✓ Not ready for prime time!I installed it three times (including the "update"), and each time it disappeared at the conclusion of install. Obviously, this needs more work. Update: fourth time was the charm. After it disappeared forthe third time, I got an update message and this time it downloaded and stayed put. The magazine is very impressive. Tons of content, lots of recipes, lots of interactivity. It's quite beautiful to look at. I'm downgrading it one star for the initial bugginess, but also because there is no bookmarking function for the recipes. To "keep" a recipe, you have to email it to yourself and then copy and paste to a recipe app, like The Recipe Box. I could not find a bookmark tab the way that Food & Wine has..Version: 3.2
✓ Excellent workI've been waiting for this addition. You did not disappoint me. I love your " kitchen " recipes. Very useful in my iPad under counter mount. Add a timer app and ur golden. I don't mind the advertisements as the advertisers sometimes add useful information; if not, a flick of the finger and it's gone. With that said, I think 600+ megabytes is too large of a file, and I would like to see them more storage friendly. After all, I have to share space with my family..... So I took a star. You guys are very clever... Keep up the good work..Version: 3.2
✓ New app deletes Pasta Perfect app? If so, not cool.I'm hesitant to update if it means I'll lose the Bon Appetit Pasta Perfect app. Can you confirm it'll still be on my iPad if I update? Amazingly the FAQ doesn't address the status of that app other than it'll disappear. I tried to ask more about it since the FAQ doesn't address it and goes to a dead link. Not good..Version: 3.2
✓ Very goodRecently bought if and I found it very well made I recommend it and recipes are very good.Version: 4.5
✓ Absolutely BeautifulAs a print subscriber, I look forward to each and every month. A subscription to the very affordable print edition gets the digital edition. Register and it downloads to your iPad Newsstand. So well done (not the food, the magazine). This is the way ALL e-magazines should be. Totally love it. The food photography looks good enough to eat on the Retina Display iPad. The beautiful layout is easy to follow. The interactivity works great. Recipes full screen to follow on your kitchen counter. There are even embedded videos! It just keeps getting better. Highly recommend. * July 2012 downloaded within minutes. Previous issues did take longer so perhaps they've addressed the problem..Version: 3.6
✓ Fantastic AppI've been getting the print subscription for the last few years, and decided to make a paperless switch to the digital version. I had expectations going in that it would fall a bit short of the paper version in some ways, so I have been very happy to find the digital version MORE enjoyable than the print. They've managed to make the digital an interactive experience that goes beyond being just a magazine. I also love how the recipes are set up and the sleek pages where the additional information is just a touch away. Other magazines need to study what Bon Appetit has done with their app..Version: 3.6
✓ Can't view RecipesI have been a subscriber for over a year and it was a great app until this recent version. I can't open the recipes because they pop up and immediately go away. Please fix, because without this feature working correctly the digital version is useless..Version: 4.2
✓ Ex Bon appetit loverWhile I love the magazine and used to love this app, the continual pop ups asking me to subscribe (I already do) and/or buy the app (which I already have) make using the website almost impossible. If you click a link, the ad for the app appears...if you close it, the Bon appetit home page is virtually empty....just the headers appear but nothing else. Fix it. There are so many problems with the app, subscription services..Version: 3.2
✓ Cool navigation, but missing some featuresI'm really impressed with the navigation of the Bon Appetit app. This is the first time that I've actually preferred the tablet version of a magazine to paper! It's fun to page through and easy to get to recipes. I've been waiting for greater functionality over the last year, but haven't seen a few items that would really add to the experience... there is no way to save or bookmark recipes. On the magazine's website, it allows you to save recipes to Pinterest. Each time I read the magazine, I have to jump to the browser, find the recipe and pin it if I want to save it for future use. I would also be thrilled if I could save recipes to Evernote (like the NYTimes allows)..Version: 4.6.7
✓ Delicious!!!!This app is awesome!! What a great way to enjoy Bon Appetit! The interactive elements take the magazine to a new level. It's just amazing. I can't get enough. The recipes are wonderful and they have found such a convenient / practical way of displaying them on the iPad. Brilliant. Gorgeous. Can't imagine going back to a paper magazine after this..Version: 3.2
✓ Format Good - Type size TERRIBLEI was a long time subscriber of Bon Appetit’s print version until I grew weary of stacks of magazines and recycling. This morning I decided to try subscribing to the digital version. I read other reviews and decided I could work around the small type by printing the recipes I want to use only to discover this is not possible. Well, I can take a screen shot, edit it and then print a photo. Not very practical. I like the simple layout of recipes, but reading articles gives me a headache. Without a change to the app I won’t be renewing next year. Too bad for both the magazine and myself. I gave the app three stars because I love the content..Version: 5.0
✓ Overall worth itIt takes a few minutes to figure out but once you do it's a great magazine. I just wish there was a way to star or bookmark pages to make it easier to come back and cook from. It does take a while to download but at least you can read pages that have downloaded while waiting for the others..Version: 3.6
✓ New AppI can’t believe the new app is considered an upgrade. Totally un user-friendly. I miss the index for the recipes. The print was large enough that I could read it without my glasses. Now I can’t even blow up the recipe on the page to make it legible. Super annoying!! I’d like to give it zero stars! I have to re download all of my issues!!.Version: 5.0
✓ Best magazine app yetVery easy to navigate. Vertical swipe as well as horizontal (to continue reading an article or feature without having to go page by page). Easy recipe section set up special to use the iPad for point by point instructions (enlarged for easy viewing at a distance.) Also some nice interactive features as well. Kutos to the developers for making the digital version much more than the printed one..Version: 3.6
✓ Love it!This is my favorite publication on the iPad by far. Most magazines simply provide issues as PDF or jpeg files. Bon Apetit make great use of the interactive capabilities. As a publication designer myself, I am very impressed with this magazine. Layouts are beautiful and of course the content is top notch. I bought the print subscription for 2 years and get the iPad version for free. Best deal around. Trust me, you won't be disappointed..Version: 3.2
✓ Great appFantastic US food magazine, the interactive version is very way to use, great graphics. It's American so no metric but so what, you can easily find conversions online, the recipes are what inspires here.Version: 3.6
✓ Big Download but Worth the WaitIt's a huge file per issue, but the design, organization, features and images are very good. Besides great content, the app is actually functional...way better than the print version. The size of each issue is a big deal...please figure out some additional compression or load strategies. Thanks. Nice work..Version: 3.9.1
✓ Never write reviews but...This is more than just thumbing through a magazine. Very clever integration/imbedding of recipes and info on the pages. I’m hard to impress! I really like this. Downloading the app and getting it to start up was tricky but doable. It’s the interactive pop-up book for adults! Read the complaints; nah..Version: 4.6.7
✓ Love the Bon AppGreat to have access from the UK to this high quality US publication. Well thought out and executed App, love it..Version: 4.0
✓ Did you think about metric?It's hard sometimes to measure as in europe mostly metrics are used instead imperial units. Also temperature is celsius instead fahrenheit. Anyway content is great, photos are superb, I simply love it. It's in my opinion best cooking app in appstore. Looking forward for another meals app, thai maybe ?.Version: 3.0
✓ Gorgeous, but one complaintThe graphics are great and I love how the magazine "flows" from one item to the next. As with the print version, the content is great. My only complaint about this app is the download - I don't mind the big file size, but it won't download in the background. I live overseas with a slow connection, which means it could take several hours to download ... During which I can't use my iPad for anything else. Definitely inconvenient!.Version: 3.6
✓ My Culinary BibleI have learned so much from Bon Appétit over the 20 years I’ve subscribed. I tell my foodie friends to read it. I use it while travelling for meal ideas. Love it..Version: 5.0
✓ Exceeding expectations! Fab appI really love the Bon Appetit app. I cook a lot a really love the recipe index and the "step by step" instruction option. I may even discontinue my paper version if this online app keeps exceeding my expectations like it does now!.Version: 4.0
✓ Ruined digital formatI love BA the one star is for the change in the format of the digital content. There used to be a recipe page in the beginning with pictures next to each listing . I hate that fact that they removed that feature. When I plan my meals I often referenced that page . Bring it back.Version: 5.0
✓ So cool!They have improve their APPS, MORE INTERACTIVE AND THE PICTURES ARE SPECTACULAR. GOOD WORK.Version: 3.9.1
