There is neither a bold insouciance or earnest beginning in this app. It is lost in the shadow of decades of great Gourmet issues. One cannot even declare this as half-baked. An inscrutable requirement to use Facebook or Twitter. No linkage to existing Bon Appetit or Gourmet web site accounts. Im obliged to use it in portrait mode. Weird pop-ups like Grilling! And Pasta! that do nothing when I am exhorted to View Now. A lame, link-less, meandering article style that ignores 15 years of progress in building interactive pages -- hello, CSS? Earth to Conde Nast... how many committees thought this was wonderful? Thankfully, nobody is being charged for this.
