FOOD & WINE

I love F&W for its simplicity and its balance between culinary, beverage and trends. I have subscribed to other magazines both in print and virtual but F&W always delivers inspirational menus and ideas.

I love Food and Wine. Subscribed to the print version for years and a couple years ago added the digital version. The app is unusable though. It constantly logs me out, so I have to log back/restore purchases to access my magazines. It is also unbearably slow. Trying to read a new issue on the fly ends up with me waiting up to a minute for each page to load. I decided to just download each issue in advance. It’s taking over 2 hours to download a single magazine? How is that possible? I thought I would just queue a bunch of downloads and leave it plugged in over night, but queuing multiple just results in the app timing out and giving an error message for all the issues that queued. Figure this out and I’ll give you 5 stars because I LOVE the content.

Have fixed my access, at least for now. I’ll wait and see. I have both the print and digital subscription but the app only recognizes my print subscription and so limits my access to the digital content. Have contacted support but it was useless. Probably an automated system which just kept telling me how to log on.
