User Reviews

Overall, users love Taste of the South's magazine content and recipes, especially on iPad, and enjoy taking recipes with them. However, recurring issues dominate: purchases aren’t recognized and bought content can’t be opened or restored; new issues are often unavailable; digital pricing is confusing; the UX/navigation worsened after updates; and there are occasional crashes. The app delivers strong recipe content and visuals, but purchasing, access, and navigation friction significantly detract from the overall experience.

Pros

Excellent recipes and appealing food photos.
Magazines and recipes are accessible on the iPad, offering travel-friendly reading.
Overall magazine content is enjoyable and well-loved by readers.

Cons

Purchases/subscriptions are not recognized; users are prompted to buy again or cannot access already purchased content.
Inability to download or access purchased issues; new issues often unavailable or not visible.
Poor UX and navigation after updates; content organization and restoration of purchases are confusing; redesigned interfaces make it hard to locate bought issues.
Digital pricing is confusing and not clearly aligned with print subscriptions; users feel they are being asked to pay twice for digital access.
App stability issues including crashes.

e magazines and Hoffman did not honor my customer loyalty and will not allow access to digital content that l purchased throughout my digital subscription and gave me every excuse on why l couldn't have access. Don't purchase digital products through either companies

This is not easy to navigate. I cannot tell if I have a subscription or not. When I click on a new magazine it wants me to buy it. Also new special issues do not show up. Or.....they are behind in posting them. I am ready to cancel the whole thing except I love their magazines. I got an email today saying they have a new special issue and it is not there. Bring back the old app. It was easy to use. Enough complaining.

It doesn’t seem to update. I bought a $20 yearly subscription, but I can’t access new issues whenever they come out. It doesn’t even show them as an option on the app.
