Food Network Kitchen 4+

It locks up. I delete it. Miss it after a week and download it again. A week goes by and it locks up again. The pattern continues. Here’s an update. Got an email from the developers. That was encouraging. It asked to contact them, give more details, etc. so they could assist me. I sent an email and Received a reply that said sorry I couldn’t respond to every email. Too bad I like this app that I deleted again for about the fifth time. I might try it again in six months to see if they fixed it. Another update. Technical support contacted me and the person was excellent. We tried several things. Nothing seem to work. I do like this app very much and even tried unloading my whole phone resetting everything and reinstalling from back up that didn’t work. I have some news for technical support. The app now works I turned off my Ad Blocker software and some network security software. Food Network finally loaded I turned the two security programs back on now everything seems to work. If the app works I do recommend it. Even when it didn’t work on my iPhone it worked on my iPad and I was using it there give it a try good luck I hope you don’t have to go what I thought went through but it’s probably worth it.

If they thought they were making it better they are gravely mistaken. I absolutely hate this new version. I have given it time and tried to navigate around and it is so poorly designed. I used to be able to watch all my favorite cooking shows every Saturday and Sunday morning and as I would find a recipe that I liked that the chef was cooking at the time, I could open the app and the apps home page would automatically display what show was on air. I simply tapped the show and it automatically displayed what dishes the chefs were cooking at that time which then I simply saved the recipe to the appropriate board I created in my saves. Now, I have to search around for what is on air and even when I find it, there’s a huge lag. The app is showing the show that aired previously and it’s impossible to find the new show with what they are cooking. If this is the way, the app is going to stay, I won’t be using it all and go back to other recipe/cooking websites and apps. Please bring back the old version😩 Also, you have to “search” for the freaking search engine on this app....Who designed this app? You definitely didn’t make it better. If it’s not broken, DON’T fix it!

Hi Daphne, we wanted to reach back out to you and let you know that there is a new version of the app. You can find the recipes for airing shows in the RECIPES ON TV NOW tile at the top of the main Explore page. The shows are listed on Eastern Time, so you may have to scroll down a bit to find what you are looking for depending on your time zone. Please give it a try and let us know what you think. If you have questions feel free to email us at app-kitchen@foodnetwork.com and we will be happy to help you.

My dad who is 80 came to live with me the summer of 2019 because he was no longer able to take care of himself. When it comes to his tastebuds he is simple and has never experienced different types of foods. He is very old school and a creature of habit. He loves to eat but he is a basic meat and potatoes type of guy because that’s how he was raised. Well I wanted to introduce him to a different way of eating and open up his tastebuds. I prepare different meals weekly from the Food Network App on my phone. My Dad is absolutely loving it. He literally is excited for dinner every night and asks me first thing in the morning, what are you cooking for dinner daughter. When I tell him he throws his hands up and says “oh boy I can’t wait to taste it” lol. He thinks I’m a genius in the kitchen and the best cooker in the world. He doesn’t understand technology, computers and apps so he doesn’t understand it’s the Food Network thats turned me into a Chef 😉. So thank you Food Network for all of your amazing recipes and the tips and tricks I’ve learned in cooking. You’ve truly made an old man happy 😊 ❤️
