Allrecipes Magazine

I cannot even believe after this many negative reviews All recipes still won’t bring back the old app. It was fantastic. I am beyond disappointed. My saved recipes are still online last I checked but having them accessible on my phone while cooking was amazing! Still just sad and mad they won’t bring back the old app. I too would have been willing to pay some small fee for upkeep rather than this nonsense.

I normally access the site on my workstation. Which, so far still works - allrecipes.com - but when I went to use it on my tablet (I needed a reminder for amounts), I found that my app no longer functioned. So like I normally do, I removed the app and went to download it again figuring there were updates needed. Could not find it in the “App Store” or in the Microsoft Store”. I did find this magazine app. I, thankfully, read a few of the reviews before downloading the app. Then I read a few more. And more. I decided not to use the magazine app period. Thankfully, any recipe that I liked and wanted to try out I saved on my local drive. So unlike the others in the reviews I’ve read, I still have them. Just click on ‘print’ and change it from your printer name to “save as pdf”. That way I never lose them. One thing I noticed in all the reviews I did read is that the “Developer Response” is basically a cut and paste response. The email address is different (3 or 4 different ones), but that is just about it. Starts with the same exact sentence - “Thank you for taking the time to give us a review.” And continues on. I tried to do y own cut and paste so I could copy the entire developer response, but was unable to. ——- So now I need to find another app/site for my recipes, although I still have tons I have not used yet, lol. I will miss “Chef John” though. It was always enjoyable to listen to him describe how to create the dish. I hope that others read this so that they will find the way to save - locally - the recipes they wanted to try. Luck to those people.

Like others, I found the old app the be indispensable in the kitchen. I had years of recipes saved, I used it many times per week, and honestly would’ve been more than happy to pay for it. WHY would Allrecipes take steps backward to return to a magazine format. Who even reads magazines any more, print or digital?! What a shame!

Most of my favorite recipes are gone. Those recipes have been used to carry on family traditions every holiday season. Thanks a lot!!! No response or apology needed or accepted. UGH!!!

I was hoping that eventually with all the complaints that the decision makers of your company would come to their senses and bring back the app that was loved by so many. It was a bad choice then and is still a bad choice now.

I HATE, HATE, HATE having to use the website. The Allrecipes app was one of my all-time favorite apps and I used it weekly. I was able to recover all of my previously saved recipes by using my previous username and password, but it does take some effort to locate them every time. I have to select my account on the top right and then select saved items from the left side column that opens. Not exactly the most user friendly. From there, it is almost impossible to view or print recipes, search and save new recipes, or do almost anything else, due to the over abundance of annoying ads and pop-ups all over the place and often times blocking what I’m trying to view. I would have gladly paid a reasonable annual or one-time fee to the creators for the use of the ad-free app.

Are you serious? Whoever made this decision is a bumbling idiot! I used to almost exclusively use the app and snow I only use Yummly or Taste, cause you turned the app into a worthless pile of garbage. I’ve lost everything of mine, including years of my saved and favorite recipes with notes!

This is a joke. They removed the BEST recipe apps out there “to work on their website” only to make a new app for their magazine app and it’s a paid subscription. Whoever made this decision should be fired. Listen to your users! I don’t want a “thank you for your feedback” only to have nothing done. Do what is right and what we are asking for.

I used to have a great experience with the allrecipes app. For so many reasons it was an excellent resource and interface. This is yet another example of a corporate buy out killing everything good about something and replacing it with something so completely unlike the former that it can only disappoint.
