olive Magazine - Food Recipes Reviews

Used to be more fun

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.

This putting the app in crap.

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!

Perfect for overs of cooking, eating and Great Britain.

This California girl private cook fell in love with Olive while on holiday in London. One of my fave British heritage breweries Batemans Brewery was featured in an issue; meant to read just the article and ended up buying the magazine and downloading app when I got back to states

Love the magazine, don't like the app

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.

Interesting Material

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.

Good magazine ... Terrible App

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).

Great magazine

I enjoy the recommendations for restaurants and towns to visit. As an American, it's good Intel.

Olive Magazine fantastic

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!!!

Poor experience.

This app is getting worse and worse. One issue there's a recipe index, then next issue it's gone. Font is to tiny that you have to zoom right in which makes following the feature much harder. App often crashes and takes ages to reboot. Good content let down by terrible user experience.
