Gourmet Traveller App Reviews

Love print but one look at iPad version of this mag really makes me want to subscribe digitally. App maximises interactive features and allows you to see all images (most) large. Incorporation of video is also great. It is the best magazine app I've seen so far.

This is a fantastic magazine offline. Online you have to manually type in recipe names before saving/bookmarking. But when they upgraded the app, the hours I spent saving recipes were all wiped. I had to restore all my purchases, without the bookmarks. I contacted the magazine who pretty much said their clients would all have to start over. Not wasting my time again only to have it happen during their next upgrade...

One of the few Magazines that takes advantage of all of the IPad's features

BUT I agree with the others that it's misleading to say it's a "free" app. They should be up front like the other mags and say what it really costs. Otherwise, I like it and prefer mags on iPad not on paper

Excellence in an App. I have been a subscriber for the last 2 years, and to most all ipad based, top food magazines written in english and italian. Our large US food magazines are still trying to balance content (generally a theme around bacon) and the technical abilities of the App (failed recognition of subscriptions, no downloads, flat content etc)....take note...this is the world-class model. Well done. If you're a true gourmet, home chef, love food & wine, are a traveller who saveurs the finest with a bon appetit, look no farther. Even if you want to see excellent execution of an ipad published document of any sort - this is the best I have come across.

The site is glitchy Customer service the typical runaround Buy the hard copy instead

The online iPad version Should be free for existing hard copy magazine subscribers... Doesn't really give you this month's issue to "see how the mag looks". You still need to purchase at $5.99 per issue. Good idea to complement my mag subscription but not when you have to pay for both versions.

To read this magazine I'd normally have to subscribe to the paper version & have it shipped from Australia to the US. I appreciate that I can buy it electronically from this app. The navigation took a little getting used to but once I got the hang of it I quite liked it.

Beautiful pictures, lovely recipes and in general very straight forward directions in how to cook them. Overall a good starting point for the home chef

There are some magazines that just don't translate well from the print issue but Gourmet Traveller is not one of them. The pictures are awesome; the articles, brilliant and the recipes, simply divine. As this is one of my favourite mags, to have it on hand wherever I am is a real treat. I used to tuck the print issue away in my bag (it's my staple carry-on reading matter) and curse when I'd forgotten it but now, it's always with me regardless of where I am. The cost of the in-app purchases are negligent and since the e-version is less than the printed version it's an even bigger bonus.

My favorite food mag. Love the images and recipes.

Thank you from NYC!

Interesting stories, great recipes, albeit pricey. Looks fantastic.

It feels like the ACP Magazines' apps have been updated to hide all of the bad reviews. Instead of sticking your head in the sand why not listen to the reviewers and reduce the price as there is no justification for the outrageous prices. No print costs and limited distribution costs equal an opportunity to increase readership and therefore increase advertising dollars. Yes, you have to change your business model!

This is a great App (or, more correctly, this App allows the purchase and viewing of a great magazine) . Would be better if there were a decent search feature (or it one could search through Spotlight) so one could search across all editions. The bookmarks are useful only to a point.

Well I liked the magazine and was willing to pay for it, but the last time I attempted to download an issue I lost all but one of my purchased issues but one, and that was an old one, not the one I had just paid for. Never did get that downloaded. No matter how many times I hit "restore purchases" nothing was restored and the issues are floating around somewhere in space between here and Australia. And the issues do cost way too much.

Publishers need to take a clue.... Is 5.99 in Australian dollars which are much much different than USdollars? I deleted app. It shouldn't be in free app.

I have absolutely fallen in love with this magazine. All of the features are always interesting and well written and beautifully photographed and the recipes found in each issue are always well written and look delicious. If you are looking for both home friendly easy recipes and more challenging recipes straight from a restaurant chef then you can find both here. Gourmet traveller has also been the most interactive and user friendly magazine I've downloaded so far - there are videos included in every issue and the interface is extremely well done. If you want a high quality magazine that you aren't going to get bored with in five minutes and will refer to repeatedly, then give this one a try. Also, everyone is saying this is an expensive magazine but, if like me you live halfway across the world (USA) from Australia, then the thought of finding a way to buy it then have it shipped here monthly is a far worse thought.

I love the way the app works, and the fact that the content is all included and easy to use, but it would be great if it were possible to search all bookmarks, and save content off the iPad since the issues take a lot of space and there is no way to save recipes to a computer for safekeeping.

$5.99 per issues is way too much money for an electronic format magazine

It would have been useful to know that downloading the APP does nothing more than give you the OPP to buy the magazine. Couldn't get it off my home screen fast enough.

So frustrating.... Love the magazine but this app continuously crashes and shuts down. Can't get past 2 pages and it crashes. I've wasted too much time trying to figure out issue. Will be canceling subscription and need a refund. Terrible app seriously... What a shame.
