I have loved this magazine and it’s recipes for last year. However, ever update to the app, no matter how minor, makes logging back in is an struggle despite purchasing via My Apple acct. also, I have to re-down load all my purchased issues with each update as well.
I am flipping through some back issues a bit nostalgically. I have been a subscriber for years, but the issues after the redesign just lack the creativity and sparkle that originally drew me to the magazine. It kind of feels like every other online publication. I particularly miss the Last Bite which was a whimsical bit at the end. Will I continue my subscription? Well, the recipes are great and the writing is lovely, but Olive’s charm has been diminished.
If you can get it to load - rare! - you will find the text too tiny to read and the useful features, such as the recipe index, removed. Good content that is utterly failed by the user experience. Note - the latest fix designed to stop the app from crashing results in a 100% crash rate!
Olive is a U.K. publication that supplies a monthly abundance of interesting stories and creative recipes. Highly recommended for the food lover.
I love to cook and try new recipes. This magazine is fantastic, great recipes, great photos and wonderful articles. Easy to use on my iPhone. Love it!!!
I enjoy the recommendations for restaurants and towns to visit. As an American, it's good Intel.
Wide variety and informative
Bought and downloaded a few issues and enjoyed the magazine. Subscribed and could no longer download current issue. Took two weeks for developer/publisher to fix the problem. A month later there was an update to a previous issue I had downloaded. Went to update and the issue deleted itself and could not be re-downloaded. Numerous emails to developer/publisher. They have acknowledged that "a few" subscribers are having problems but have not been able to fix the problem (over two weeks and still waiting).
The photos are gorgeous and recipes attractive. The app, though, needs some work. There were some dead links but an exceptional number on videos. Overall, a satisfying experience.
I have been a subscriber to digital Olive magazine for a year. I had no problems with the iPad 2. Upgraded to an iPad Air and the app crashes when launching so I have been unable to read the magazine I have subscribed to for almost 3 months.
