Good Food Magazine

I’ve had this since 2013 and rely on it as my go to for healthy eating and planning menus. There are great recipes with full nutritional information (that’s why you fail NYT cooking). A nice mix of quick and easy along with longer cooking times for someone who works, but does all the cooking. The app, however, is abominable. Pages, even on a downloaded issue, load so slow. Before the page loads, swiping left and right works, but nothing else, so you end up going to a different recipe instead of scrolling down to the one you wanted. 21 seconds from tap to loaded? Are you joking? Bookmarks from the previous version are gone. Stop doing this. Only the content from the most recent “upgrade” is searchable - which is also abysmally slow. Bookmarks used to be sorted by when you added the page. This meant I could go back to my bookmarks, unflag and reflag to pop a recipe to the top. Very helpful in menu planning for the week and seeing what I haven’t made in awhile. Bookmarks page will sometimes not load with just an error. Most of my library is now digital screen shots. This increases the time it takes to find a recipe in the bookmarks. Didn’t need a dark mode Features needed: Elastic search that uses tags like the categories in instant recipe finder. I don’t want every recipe that mentions rice when trying to make stir-fry rice. Print recipe. If I’m cooking a big meal, switching recipes is a pain. Printing screen shots is a waste because of the layout. Recipe feedback. There are recipes which have errors like missing the ingredients. December 2022, warm winter bean salad. Other recipes list an ingredient but don’t use it in the instructions. Shopping list (used to have this) Unit converter. The old issues have metric and English units.

Trying to look at things your have bookmarked closes the app. This is crazy annoying, it takes an age to find what you previously were looking at. Contacted through app to point out fault, no response. If that worked it would be 5*.

Love this magazine always find useful and imaginative recipes!
