Taste of Home Magazine for Negative User Reviews
✓ Duh!There isn't a single thing in this "free" Taste of Home" app except an order form to subscribe to a yearly subscription or to buy single issues for four dollars. Not even so much as one single page!!! Why don't they just call it what it is instead of misleading us the way they do. It should be called the Taste of Home subscription page, NOT the Taste of Home magazine! ! I don't know what the magazine is like, obviously, but I am giving it one star for misleading title and devious strategies..Version: 1.2
✓ AwfulI’ve bought but can’t get current issue. Always asks me to login & provide password. But I bought on iTunes via Apple ID & app won’t recognize. I go to my settings and lo and behold, iTunes has it and I’m being charged. I just can’t access. Save your money. This app is the online version of a vending machine that eats your money & doesn’t give you your drink or snack!.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Terrible app with nothing usefulI absolutely LOVE Taste of Home magazine. But the publishers really need to come into the 20th century when it comes to technology! Yes, I meant to say 20th century! This app basically is a copy of the magazine. That’s it. Nothing actually functional. Their app is useless and their website is incredibly slow and so heavily laden with pop up ads, it is nearly useless as well. It’s a simple concept: develop a real app that functions like your website is intended to be, and make it accessible to those who subscribe to your magazine!.Version: 5.3
✓ Can't sign inIt seemed like a good idea, but it won't let me sign in, so I can't view the digital edition. Plus, if I'm already paying for the print edition, why would I want to pay for the digital version? It says that I get six months free, but I can't even access them now, and I shouldn't have to pay after the six months, since I've already paid for the print..Version: 1.0
✓ Sad sad appI love taste of home magazine and was excited to get the digital copy. I do not currently subscribe to the paper issue. Once I downloaded the app I chose to be a monthly subscriber through iTunes. I get charged monthly and I can not sign in to receive new issue. I tried to call the " digital help " number they give, they said I had to call iTunes, I called iTunes , she gave me a " one time only" refund and I'm still in this terrible cycle, well see how next month goes. Bad customer service..Version: 1.5
✓ This has been a bad appThis is a great magazine but terrible app! Buy print version, do not get this app. I began subscribing through apple on iPad about 4 years ago instead of print. Every now and then, the app loses all of my library and asks me to pay for the current issue, even if I show a current subscription. When I contacted the app developer, they say it is apples fault. Apple says it’s the developers fault. I decided to go digital with my magazines for simplicity, but this app has been anything but simple. The developer, TrustedMedia has inadequate customer service..Version: 5.2.0
✓ Not doing what it shouldCan't get to store. When clicked it doesn't go anywhere ..Version: 2.0
✓ Poor ApplicationI am unable to copy ingredients or print them out. If I try to print the application closes. If I try to copy ingredients the application closes. Then I have to go back to the issue was looking at, flip to the page I was on. I am not happy with the application..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Where are my magazines?I purchased a years subscription and had downloaded the first magazine. I never saw the next one, and the 3rd one is in my magazine rack - but where did my first one go? And where's the 2nd one? They are just gone, along with my money. I also do not like the way the pages turn. Very hard to follow. Can't save a favorite recipe. I would never buy it again online..Version: 1.2
✓ Impossible to readI bought the app in hopes I could zoom in to read the minuscule print. You can’t and it is very disappointing because I cannot read any of it!.Version: 5.2.8
✓ FrustratingI can log in when I access my account online but not from this App. I have a brand new 2018 iPad. What’s up Taste of home!!!.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Horrible don't waste your timeJust like the print version, the iPad version is way behind the times. I am a print subscriber but when I log in on my ipad there is no option to download the magazine without purchasing the issue. The "chat with customer service" of course does not work (shows a blank page for ten minutes before I gave up). So frustrating. The recipes are great but I am forced to just use the old fashioned print edition..Version: 1.2
✓ Need ability to printToo difficult to either print specific recipes or entire page. Indirect method requires either emailing the desired item to yourself and printing it out or using a scanner to scan the tablet page and then printing. Neither method is better than just printing a copy of the magazine page..Version: 3.0
✓ Hate it!I have spent so much money with this company, but obviously it's never enough for them! Thought I would try this out as a way to save some space, and for convenience, and they just want more and more money! Do you remember when this magazine was first available? It was very good and very reasonable, but just like everything in this country, it's become more available for the "Haves" than the "Have Nots," so if you have the the money, God bless you; I don't. I'm retired on social security. And with ANYTHING-you-would-ever-want-to-cook being available online for FREE, who needs it? So much for "Taste of Home"... I want a "Taste of Yesterday!".Version: 4.2
✓ Make it more accessibleDoesn't make everything available to people - seems focused on US residents..Version: 2.0
✓ Yearly subscription horribleThis is my second year to subscribe, not all months in 2018 are available for download and now the January 2019 issue isn't available. Not happy.Version: 5.0.1
✓ MNot available for Canada :(.Version: 1.2
✓ Won’t workI have been trying for weeks now and can’t get this thing to let me access my subscription. So frustrating!!!!!.Version: 5.2.9
✓ DisappointedI have so much trouble with this app. I try to open it and my log in is gone. After I finally get it to work half of my purchases have prices by them and I can't open them. I've tried reinstalling and still my purchases have prices on them. Big disappointment. This happens just about every time I try to read my magazines. I've had this app for a long time and at first I didn't have this much trouble. Don't know what happened..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Don’t BotherA long time ago this was a great site. Now it is practically impossible to use. Another reviewer says that they blame Apple. I have a lot of apps on Apple and I can’t think of another as bad as this. The recipes here are very good, but it is no longer worth my time to fight this app. Now it is so crowded with advertising and the app malfunctions constantly . Advertisers, please take note; it is not worth whatever you are paying to be on this site..Version: 5.2.0
✓ Portrait onlyI am in Canada and it was available for me (re: previous review saying it was not available for Canada.) however, magazine can only be viewed in Portrait orientation, not convenient to view with my iPad in its stand. I deleted the app and will be sticking with the printed version :(.Version: 1.2
✓ Update?What the heck is going on with TOH magazine? This "latest" version of the online magazine feels like a cruddy "Beta" version. Not good at all.... I used to love all the features with the magazine on my iPad. Saving recipes, opening up to the last page read, favorites bookmarked and easy to locate, these features are all modified or nonexistent now. Whoever heard of an update with a magazine downgrading the experience instead of cool new improvements.... thinking about canceling this online mag. Sad ☹️.Version: 5.0
✓ DisappointingI enjoyed this magazine until suddenly, one of my issues was no longer there and and only gave me the option to purchase it. After months and months of emails, they eventually told me they couldn't do anything for me and washed their hands of me. I tried contacting iTunes but they told me that they couldn't help, either, and that Taste of Home only has access to fix this. Don't subscribe to this magazine because if you get a problem, they won't give you a solution. Here is a part of their email to me: "I see that in the past months our agents have tried to assist you in your issue with viewing Taste of Home on your iPad. I apologize but we have no more options to suggest to you. The digital purchase you made was not directly through Taste of Home, so we have no visibility to your account. You will need to contact the customer care at the iTunes store, since your purchase was made through them.".Version: 1.3
✓ Trash Trash TrashThis application is trash. I love the magazine, I can log in on my Windows 10 Laptop computer.....BUT NOT ON MY IPAD......sad....SAD....SAD.....Junk.....I have also sent them two email using their “report a problem” link and it doesn’t work....So I think it is not Taste of Home ToH it is the developer of this application..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Expensive appI don't understand why the app makes me pay for electronic magazines, when I already subscribe to the print version of the magazine. There is no additional cost to the company to make the magazine available electronically. They don't even offer a discounted price. I was hoping the app would provide a better search engine, similar to the website and not just being able to flip through an electronic version of the magazine. I love Taste of Home magazine, but this app is really horrible..Version: 2.1
✓ Where is the August issue?I have the 1 yr subscription however the current issue still has not been offered?.Version: 2.0
✓ App IssuesI Purchased this magazine with the understanding that I could use the app on my iPad. It has been an issue from day one trying to get the app to work. It allowed me into one issue and now wants me to pay for additional issues. I wrote an email but there has not been a response from your technical staff. If this problem with the app does not get fixed I will not renew my subscription!!!.Version: 5.0.1
✓ This is terrible, please fix!I installed the app and it won't appear. I then go to the app store and it says it's installed. I press app support and I go around and around in a loop, logging in and going back to sign up page. I am already a mail subscriber and I hope this doesn't mess things up by not sending me my magazine and making it digital which would be ok if I could only pull up the app. There have been many complaints why isn't this fixed?.Version: 1.3
✓ Don't really care for itBasically just gives you a place to purchase books and magazines. Stalls out at "loading". Not really worth the download time..Version: 1.3
✓ Very DisappointedI have been getting issues of this magazine for several months and have been very pleased with the digital format and interactive capabilities of each issue, especially being able to save recipes with the click of a button. I was very disappointed to see that the December issue is not interactive at all. It seems to just be scanned images of the print version, which is hard to read and useless for saving recipes. I hope you will go back to the previous format but for now I will not be purchasing any more issues..Version: 4.2
✓ Have your credit card readyIf you want to purchase Taste of Home magazines this is the app for you because that is all you are able to do.... and they're not cheap! Forget this app, there are no recipes for you here..Version: 4.2
✓ Frustrating!I loved the first issue. But when I installed the second issue, the first one disappeared and I didn't see an option to bring it back. I just installed an update and it asked if I wanted to restore the old edition. I of course said yes, ands now I can't get the current edition. Ahhhhhhh.... I am ready to get rid of the whole app. Don't bother..Version: 1.2
✓ MehThe app led me to a page to subscribe to the magazine. Not what I was looking for..Version: 1.4
✓ FrustratedNot able to get past the adverts very annoying as I feel I have wasted my money buying this app will keep trying but as you can see why I am so frustrated. Feel it should be more user friendly as I am sure there is more people like myself still learning how to use iPad. I have read this magazine in America and was pleased to see I could get app will hope I can get past adverts.Version: 2.0
✓ Love the recipes, not fond of the functionalityThe recipes are great however the app suffers from a few drawbacks. It is difficult to easily return to where you were reading if you go to a different recipe section - say from the bottom of a page. I hate either having to go back to the beginning or slowly hunt through the articles to find my place. Additionally there is no way make sure you have covered all the articles/materials because you can skip around a lot - unless you do a slow page by page both horizontal and vertical scroll for each page. Lastly, there is no way to print a recipe from the app unless you mail it to yourself. I'm paying for the darned thing, why can't I print it since I can't cut it out of the magazine?.Version: 3.0
✓ Looks like it would be a great magazine if...If I could navigate the darn thing to actually read the stories and receipts this app would rock. Used to get it mailed and hated to store everything. Now I'm paying for a subscription I can't really benefit from. Certain pages say tap for recipe you tap and get absolutely no place. Fix the app. Please make this interface friendlier. Awesome pics! Also would be better if there was a way to file favorites, bookmark them and send shopping list of ingredients to email If this doesn't already exist..Version: 2.1
