Allrecipes Magazine for Negative User Reviews
✓ GarbageThis used to be a great recipe app, maybe the best. Now it is trash. If the devs needed money, put ads on the old app. Now it is useless and gone from my phone..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Disappointed.I use this app almost daily! Why is it that after an update on my iPad I can on longer get my old app back. Only the magazine. I would love to have my original app from App Store and my recipe collection. Please help.Version: 5.4.4
✓ Won’t open. Says “developer has to update app”Dead as a door nail. Deleted and reinstalled and it won’t accept my log in (can log into the actual website, but not this app). Please fix ASAP. I really liked this app!.Version: 5.4.4
✓ You ruined a very good appI used the dinner spinner app for years and loved it. In fact, I loved it enough, I would’ve happily paid for a subscription. Now, it suddenly stopped working and I lost a collection of recipes I use all the time. I was able to access those recipes through the website to print them, which I did, because I’ve lost all trust that they will be there the next time I try to access them. Making things difficult for and breaking trust with your customer base is certainly not a good business model, and there were a thousand better ways to go about your rebranding. Bring back the good app, please..Version: 5.6.0
✓ Not to be confused with the old AllRecipes RECIPE appThis is NOT the old (and very good) recipe app. Allrecipes used to have an app like that where you could sign in, with no subscription to their magazine, and access recipes listed on their website. They even had another app called “AllRecipes Dinner Spinner” to help you find ideas for dinner. I used to use both regularly! Now both have been replaced with this garbage that’s only helpful for their magazine subscribers. No thanks. The website has reformatted some and is less user friendly now, but it still better than nothing, so that’s what I’ll be using from now own. Or I guess it’s just back to trusty old Pinterest for recipes!.Version: 5.6.1
✓ PoorLoved the AllRecipes App that acted as a recipes finder, database, review based platform for beginner to novice cooks everywhere. It was my go to for all my recipe needs and one I always recommend to friends and family. For those other reviewers with similar issues, this is still available online complete with all your collections and favorite recipes. After my last OS update I could no longer access my saved recipes. In an effort to fix the issue I tried deleting the App only to find a “new” and PAID version for magazine subscribers in its place. How poor! This is wrong to the AllRecipes community on so many levels I cannot even begin to list them all..Version: 5.5.8
✓ DisappointedI have used this app for several years. Had great features and was simple. Upon trying to login I found that I have to have a magazine subscription to access it now. Will have to find a new app now..Version: 5.5.8
✓ So disappointedI have used your original Allrecipes app for as long as I can remember. I’ve seen the changes and didn’t like that I lost my notes, and all my categories for each type. Ok, changes happen, I could still bring up my favorites that were saved by putting in a item. Now without any warning email, and I read my emails, I’ve lost everything. I still get my emails daily, with ideas etc, but the app isn’t working so I tried multiple things. Now I can’t even login. I downloaded the new app, hopefully to be able to login in, but I won’t take my email. Help please.Version: 5.5.8
✓ Long time userI had been using the Allrecipes app for years! Prior to that online and before that magazines. In total maybe 20 years?! Loved the app when introduced. Could save favorite recipes. Organize by food type. Even added my own and threw away hard copies because it was now available to me in one place. And then they got greedy. Now charging which I have no interest in doing. So many years of history lost. I recognize there is a cost associated with the app for them but you can’t transition after so many years. Disappointed..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Recipes lostHello I have the app on my old phone. Trying to open the app on my new phone but only able to see All Recipes magazine. Do you not have a recipe app anymore? I have all my recipes saved on the app.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Terrible appAvoid this app. It’s problematic. I’ve asked for assistance but they don’t respond to emails..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Good website for recipes terribly not user friendlyCan’t sign up , can’t log in , can’t save my recipes , terribly terribly annoying . I have made an account like 10 times and it makes the account the I can’t log in . Terrible , the website has lots of awesome recipes and I just book mark them on safari because this stupid app don’t work.Version: 5.4.6
✓ UselessWhere are the recipes?.Version: 5.4.4
✓ FixedDelete the app, go into the app store, go into your account, go under your purchased apps and find the app, download again, open the app after downloading, log in and it should work..Version: 5.4.4
✓ What happenedI used to use this app all the time, it has changed so much I search something and books come up it’s not the same! Why change what was good to make it complicated..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Where are all my saved recipes now? Do I still have access to the?I seem to have lost all my recipes. Is it because of this new version? How do I get them back? Jasmine.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Don’t useI had this app for years and thought it was awesome. And then the update came- waste of time! I never understood why break perfectly good product. The log in before was easy and now it is asking for magazine subscription account details. Like I said- the number of 1star rating in the past few months should give you all an idea..Version: 5.5.5
✓ Years of recipes GONE negative stars absolute junkMy other review managed to not be posted (can’t say I’m shocked with the MANY negative reviews). The only reason it seems they deleted this app that thousands of people loved was purely to make money and their responses to us who are positing negative reviews are some generic “we’re so sorry to hear your negative experience with this app and we appreciate your thoughts” which roughly translates to “well we really couldn’t care any less about your thoughts and we’re required to write something so here ya go”. It’s already been said in almost every other review here this “new improved” app is a load of crap and totally useless and the people who did it couldn’t care less about the issues it caused us who used it or the fact they gave NO WARNING so we could save the recipes we’ve been using for years CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP.. would love to use other words here..Version: 5.5.8
✓ UselessI had years of recipes save on this app. I don’t know why they changed, especially after all the negative reviews and complaints. There is no regard for the readers or the people making the recipes. This app is completely useless now. Very disappointed.Version: 5.4.6
✓ All my recipes… POOF!Family favorites… gone Recipes with modifications… gone Contributing recipes.. gone Not sure what the deal is but this is very bad. So many of the recipes we had compiled over the years disappeared. Not sure if Merideth DotDash figured we would be converting over to subscriptions for the magazine but whatever the reason this was a bad call. My daughter asked my wife for the recipe she made when she was a child because she wants to make for her family but we have NO ACCESS to it. Recipes that are handed down are a way of keeping the fond memories alive of families gathering around the table getting passed down from generation to generation. As it stands now we have a whole generation missing from our kids childhood. Please restore our lost memories so we have at least a chance to download them to a pdf or a digital format of some kind. You must fix this..Version: 5.5.8
✓ AwfulThis is awful! I had so many amazing recipes saved and can’t even find them now. Very disappointed..Version: 2.3.9
✓ The app and recipes are goneI’ve been using the app for a long time to collect recipes. It disappeared without warning, so all recipes are now gone. The developer response is that they will restore issues, but they are not reading the responses—people don’t want their issues back (if they ever had them in the first place). The app had nothing to do with issues but with allowing people to create recipes, share recipes, and collect them. They created this app to do this, and without warning they removed it. The least they could have done is allowed people to capture their recipes before deleting everything..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Read the WHOLE reviewYou’re missing the point. You keep responding to all your 1star reviews with “don’t worry, your subscriptions are all accessible.” I don’t want to pay for the magazine, I’ve NEVER subscribed to the magazine. I want my old recipes back, my favorites, etc. nobody seems happy with your decision to get rid of the original app, what are you going to do about that? What happened??? Why did you replace what was a great “go-to” app for my nightly “what’s for dinner tonight”??? I’m heartbroken I’ve lost years of “favorites”, my own contributions, and the reviews/tips from other users. Please, PLEASE, bring the app back. I don’t want your magazine, and I’m not going to pay a subscription fee..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Not for recipesI agree with the other reviews. This is not a recipe app anymore, just a way to look at magazine articles. Why? I’m upset that I trusted the previous app to keep track of recipes I liked, because now they’re all just gone..Version: 2.3.8
✓ What a jokeI have been using Allrecipes app since 2011, I am subscribed to the magazine, but in no way shape or form does the magazine substitute the recipes I have collected over the past years. It is a small snipped to what the app had. I am truly disappointed. Also my subscription comes in a plastic cover with my info on it, not printed on the actual magazine cover. So I cant even log in to see anything. My app stopped working completely wouldn't spin wouldn't do anything but allow me to open it and stare at it in frustration. So I DLed this joke of an app, if I have the magazines, why do I need a digital copy of them? Either way, I do not want the magazine recipes, You have done a disservice to your loyal customers and I will be canceling my subscription for this. Also your generic response to everyone is a joke and is honestly the reason I am leaving a review at all. If you guys were at least trying to help people I would have let it be but Allrecipes seems to not even care. I would've paid to keep my app not to be bothered with this mess..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Can’t sign in anymore!!!I can log in online on the website but not through the new app version. Can you please fix this. Thank You.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Terrible appThis app is completely useless compared to the old. Luckily the one review told me how to get the old one back by going to App Store, going under my account and looking up purchased apps finding the old one. Delete this app all recipes it’s garbage!!!.Version: 5.4.7
✓ I’ll buy cookbooks insteadLost my saved recipes. It’s all about the money and you can lose everything anytime developers feel they want money. Buy your cookbooks then at least you’ll own your collection..Version: 5.4.6
✓ Where have all the recipes gone? Bring back the original appI loved the recipe app but this is horrible. I can’t find my saved recipes easily and the magazine isn’t worth the charge. I wish I would have printed all the recipes I had. My kids even used my app to learn to cook. Logging in on the website is a nightmare just like the new app. What a shame..Version: 2.3.9
✓ Where are my saved recipesIf I could give a rating of zero, I would! You didn’t give any of the long time members an opportunity to save favorites to their personal device, in addition, the ‘new & improved’ app doesn’t carry any of the recipes I had in my personal file! In addition to this, you want to charge me $4.99 for this on line magazine that is not worth it. I would tell my family and friends to go to your website to find recipes ….. not any more. You just shot yourself in the foot thinking you did something great..Version: 5.5.8
✓ You should change the nameNow that you know that almost everyone who loved the old app hates the magazine app, you should change the name of the magazine, so people who remember “AllRecipes” aren’t disappointed. The magazine app stinks. I tried searching for “cabbage rolls”, thinking that perhaps I could find a recipe that at least resembled the one I remembered seeing in the old app. I got an article on “red cabbage”; several recipes for “cinnamon rolls”; one for “sushi roles” and an article by Chef John on “casse roles” (really). Your responses to everyone’s one-star reviews included “Please be rest assured that you will get access to all your issues included in your account. We will be happy to solve all the problems reported by you.” Will I get the same response? Because my problem is that I can’t access the recipes that I stored in the old app..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Was good, now pointlessUsed to be a good app that let you search the Allrecipes database for recipes to make, or quickly look up your favourites... Now it is all about pimping their magazines and not giving you access to what you want the app for. All the 1-star reviews will show you nobody else is happy... guess they didn’t like the app being helpful to people..Version: 2.3.9
✓ DisappointedI tried to sign into my account but was told that an error had occurred. It would have been really nice if we had gotten a notification letting us know that the site was being updated and we would no longer have access to our favorite recipes that we have been collecting over the years. I personally don’t like the updated version you have. Like the other poster, I deleted the app with the intention of reinstalling but see it is no longer there. Very heartbreaking since I used that app a lot. That’s were I learned how to cook. I am sure if asked by the people who had been using the app, their opinion they would have told you to leave well enough alone. Some things don’t always need a drastic change..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Horrible “new” app.I had the AllRecipes app for years and a few months ago, it stopped working. I deleted it so I could re-download it to see if that would get it working again, but NOPE! The entire app was gone and replaced by All Recipes Magazine, which comes at a cost. To access my recipes, I have to go to the website and log on. Luckily, all my saved recipes are there, however, they’re much more difficult to get to without the app. To the developers, please bring back the old app because this new app isn’t a good look for you..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Lost RecipesAfter years of using your previous app, I open it to find the search function disabled and my saved recipes gone. Fine, perhaps your business model was not sustainable and you are now going with a subscription service like Epicurious recently implemented. I feel people should know what they’ll most likely be getting for their money if they opt in. A few decent recipes, usually shared by previously loyal users. Thankfully I saved all the recipes I wanted when Epicurious did the same thing. People will have to make a choice with so many recipe sites moving toward subscription services. My advice is, if you want to shift through everyday, rather unimpressive recipes for a few rare gems, and pay a company that might take away access to what you used to have, this is a great option..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Terrible and goneAll those recipes I saved. All the recipes I’ve used a hundred times. Recipes that a huge community has used and vetted. Gone. I can’t access them and they aren’t here. Over the last decade I built a library of dependable recipes that my family likes. And now they are gone. With no warning. I read through the developer’s responses to others with my same complaint and it’s pretty useless: we’re sorry and you’ll be able to access it in the future. What a bizarre way to approach a loyal customer base. Perhaps remedial marketing training should be ordered by a C-suite somewhere..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Terrible New App to replace old versionI used the old app for many of my recipes, and would have been willing to pay a small amount to continue using it, but when I went to open the app to access some of my favorite saved recipes, instead I was met with this new version, which requires you to subscribe to a magazine. Needless to say, I will not be subscribing to a magazine and I’m very thankful that I am a hardcopy person and had already printed out all of my favorite recipes in the past and placed them in a binder. So long, All Recipies - whoever’s decision it was to screw over a loyal following for an obvious money grab should be fired. People are really tired of being exploited by companies, so I wouldn’t expect your new app to be a success. 🤷🏻♀️.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Ruined a great appWHAT THE HELL!!! Do Not download this there are no recipes, was the best recipient app around now it’s junk.Version: 2.5.0
✓ DeadYep the App is dead..Version: 5.4.6
✓ Years and years of saved recipes goneI’ve been an all recipes fan for quite some time. I wasn’t taught to cook growing up as I was a latchkey kid who was fed box/can food. Thanks to All Recipes, I was able to figure out and try all sorts of recipes from good old fashioned people who shared their recipes. I am still not the best cook, mediocre at best, but I don’t burn/undercook or add funky seasoning anymore. With all this said; WHY ON GODS EARTH WOULD YOU DELETE THE ALL RECIPE APP/WEBSITE WITHOUT ANY CONSIDERATION TO UOUR CUSTOMERS!?!?! There was so many different option you all could have done, like charged a subscription fee? I would have gladly paid .99 or 1.99 a month for it. You have LOST a customer/consumer..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Lost all saved recipesBrutal app. Lost all my saved recipes.Version: 5.4.3
✓ What the hellI used to have the All Recipes Dinner Spinner now I can’t find it. This new version is junk I want my saved recipes back!! Crap crap crap don’t waste your time with this APP.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Bring back the appI cook for a living. For years I used all recipes app when ever I needed a quick recipe, or in case I needed to adjust one. I even got a bunch of people to download the app. And now this new magazine version is a big disappointment. I’m about to delete it. Even though I can still access my account ok the web. It’s not convenient. Its 2023, apps are supposed to make things easier and more accessible for the customer, seems like you guys are going the opposite way. Im about to delete this app and get the competitions app “T….” Such a shame because I love the older version of the app it was simple and yet VERY USEFUL. Not anymore!!!.Version: 5.5.8
✓ Why????If you aimed to lose all of your supporters, you’ve fully succeeded and then some. Why on earth would you get rid of the app? This was something I used weekly if not daily. Years and years of searching, trying recipes, saving, reviewing, sharing recipes, etc gone and for what? How about use ads to profit like everyone else does? Why not offer exclusive in-app purchases to make your money? Instead you took the one app that I truly loved and tossed it in the trash. I wish I could give this app a zero star review. Greed will ruin your company 100%. If you were smart you’d reactivate the app..Version: 5.5.8
✓ ????What happened, I loved your recipe app and used it almost daily, why would you change it??????This new app is beyond terrible, I’ll have to find a new site......Version: 2.5.0
✓ What happened to the AllRecipies APP?I’ve been using the website since I only owned a desktop. The app has been my go to for years. I see now they deleted it to “focus on their website”. The website is absolutely awful. It’s hard to see your saved recipes, there’s no search for certain ingredients, and this app is even worse than the website. I’m going old school and putting my favorite recipes in a binder. That’s better than using their website. In my opinion, it seems dumb that they would only focus on their website and magazine when the future is Apps. I see a big fail on their end coming soon..Version: 5.5.8
✓ My Worst Nightmare Finally HappenedJust like when I used that digital address book in 1993 and the battery went dead and I lost all my contacts, I’ve feared for years what would happen if All Recipes just disappeared. Well, they didn’t have the decency to tell us it was coming, the app just stopped working. Then, not even a mea culpa email. It appears they’ve tanked the company and don’t care. Anyone who subscribes to their magazine at this point is buying into a company with terrible business acumen and seemingly poor ethics. Get your recipes off the website as soon as you can, seems they’ve gone the way of the digital organizer..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Where are our recipes?A few months ago, I wrote in about a glitch and received a response to uninstall the old app and reinstall this new one. It is absolutely nothing like the previous app. Where are my saved recipes? I’ve been saving them for more than 10 years now. I can’t access favorites on the website anymore, either. This is infuriating, and even more so to read the continuous response to negative reviews that all issues will be addressed. So where are our recipes? How do we get some thing like the old app back? If you need to put ads in there, so be it. Please advise..Version: 5.5.8
✓ WHY WHY WHYLike so many others, I had YEARS of recipes saved in all recipes. I had notes, I had reviews, I had family favorites. GONE. WHY WHY WHY did y’all do this? I don’t want the magazine, I want the recipes that I searched for. I’d be willing to pay to get all those lost recipes, pay for the app as it WAS. Please, bring it back. I’ll bet there are many who would pay to get their favorites back and use the app as it was. Whomever had the idea to do this to allrecipes needs to be fired. And exiled to a desert island with this miserable excuse for a recipe site..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Former all recipes users, please read!!Boycott all Meredith magazines. They’re the company responsible for doing this. Deleting the app with no warning was such a crappy, greedy move on their part. Obviously if they didn’t care enough to warn their loyal users, we probably shouldn’t expect to get anything more than the canned bot response we’ve all been getting here. I HIGHLY recommend you go to their website and send a message to their customer support team. Since they want to focus on the website that’s where we need to hit them..Version: 5.5.8
✓ LOST all my family’s favorite recipes. U stole them!I loved that people from all over the world could share their recipes and their tweaks and thoughts. I found my families very favorites. Today with my son visiting I opened it to make his favorite and it’s all inaccessible. It’s really terrible you couldn’t warn us first. If u had added the magazine subscription as a requirement I would hv bought it because I loved the site… oh yeah I did!! Because I was trying to support u!! I won’t now. Try asking your customers what they want instead of your number crunchers or execs. They are usually out of touch. Bye!.Version: 5.5.8
✓ JunkJunk, Trash, Garbage.Version: 5.4.4
✓ No longer “all” recipes*slow clap* way to go. You’ve managed to upset the majority of your potential customer base by deleting the original app and removing access to years of recipes that people have shared and curated as part of a community. All in the name of selling a magazine. I have no interest paying for your “curated” magazine recipes. I want the recipes that I have been using for years and access to the community content that used to exist. Also note that the “response” to EVERY SINGLE REVIEW is a bot that says to contact customer service to restore a magazine subscription. I will never waste my money on this app or the magazine..Version: 5.5.8
✓ No recipesWhere are all the recipes?? I used this app all the time and loved the recipes..now it’s magazines?? Bring back the old app!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Can’t log in, can’t find the spinnerThis was an excellent app, now it is useless. Adding the subscription is annoying, but who will pay for this if it doesn’t work? This is garbage now. Also, I cannot log into the app so all of my saved recipes are gone. You ruined a good app..Version: 2.5.0
✓ What happened?This was an app for looking for and saving your favorite recipes. Now it seems to be a magazine subscription app and my login doesn’t work…..Version: 5.5.7
✓ This is garbage!I loved my old app and I want it back!! I spent years adding to my recipe box and now THEY ARE ALL GONE!!! Whatever genius decided this would be better should be FIRED!!!! Why could you not leave well enough alone? I will never use an app made by this company ever!!!!!.Version: 2.4.0
✓ Why?Where is everything? You guys took an amazing, useful app and completely screwed it up. All my favourites are no longer accessible and I’m left with nothing but doctors office reading. No thanks DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!.Version: 5.5.8
✓ So disappointed - l lost years of curated recipesThe Allrecipes app was my go to app for finding recipes. It was very functional, easy to find new and familiar recipes and had a clear and easy to navigate menu. I had used the app since it’s inception and without warning to their loyal customers the app stops functioning so I delete it thinking there was an issue. There was an issue alright, the app doesn’t exist on the App Store and instead has been usurped by this abomination. I absolutely will not subscribe to the magazine for a handful of recipes each month I may or may not like. I appreciated the ability of the app to sort recipes by popularity, which you cannot do on the website. The website is clunky and difficult to navigate on the phone so I guess it’s time to find a new “go to.” Very frustrating, I’m sure I speak for many of the thousand of users y’all screwed when I say I would have liked at the minimum a little warning so I had time to save my favorite recipes and I would have gladly started paying a small fee to continue using the Allrecipes app if money was an issue. Really poor decision making whoever in your organization thought this was a good idea..Version: 5.5.8
✓ I Suddenly Can’t Log inJust installed app on new IPad but I can’t log in, it’s not recognizing my email… and the app looks totally different! What’s going on? I have recipes saved and I don’t want to lose them.Version: 5.5.8
✓ Ruined the recipe app to make a magazine appWow! This app is terrible! You took a wonderful recipe app used daily and loved by thousands if not millions of people and without notice disabled the recipe app and removed it from the App Store replacing it with a magazine app. Extremely bad and honestly stupid decision on your part considering most of us would have paid a small fee if it meant keeping the app. Way to alienate and anger every user you have 👍 Guess I (and I assume most) will have to print off the recipes I use from the website and delete my account. Thanks for this 😑.Version: 5.5.8
✓ HorribleThis new app is absolutely garbage now. I have been struggling for ages to see my recipes and now not being able to login I discovered that it is an entirely new app. I would rather pay for other apps or just google search recipes to save in a folder..Version: 5.5.8
✓ If it’s not broken don’t fix itThis app is totally useless I don’t want a subscription to the magazine I want access to all the recipes I’ve saved over the last 10 years. I can’t even login because I don’t have a magazine subscription how do I login. From the number of one star ratings maybe you should re think this app and go back to the old one. If it’s not broken don’t fix it..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Update the old appI really hope they update the old app. I like everyone else it appears have lost all my saved recipes. It’s really frustrating that they blocked everyone out of the free content with out warning and are now pushing this magazine. They should have just added it to the old app as an optional thing that way they would have the entire user base angry with them..Version: 5.4.4
✓ I tried to adjust to the magazine, but it’s a disappointmentI really enjoyed the old app and had a collection of wonderful recipes saved as favorites. Once that app no longer began to work I downloaded the magazine. I cannot access my favorites directly, but if I search for a title and get a page with it multiple recipes, I can eventually find one that I’ve already used, since I’m afraid I won’t find it again I’ve been printing it. But once I go to the print screen, I can’t go back and have to close the app out and start all over. I’m not sure why you made such a drastic change, but it is not better. I’m still using your app, but it used to much more user friendly.Version: 5.5.8
✓ Update lost subscriptionThe app warns you you'll need to restore apple purchases after the update. Annoying, but OK. What it doesn't tell you is that won't actually work! I've been hitting restore purchases in both the library screen and the preferences screen, as well as sync library in preferences, for around 10 minutes now. My subscription through apple is current, I only have one apple id, everything is correct and inline but now I'm seriously considering canceling. I see other reviews with the same issue, and CS telling them to open a support ticket. If this is a known issue, it should have been fixed by now. I'm also a little disappointed that subscriptions must go through apple and don't include past issues, as other similar subscriptions do, but that's small things compared to the app not even recognizing me..Version: 5.5.5
✓ UselessThis is a terrible app. I had all my recipes on the old allrecipes app and now they are all gone. Why did you change it and how do I get all my saved recipes back..Version: 2.3.9
✓ RecipesI used this app all the time but the last upgrade of my phone made it so I couldn’t sign in and I lost all my recipes….Version: 5.4.4
✓ No Warning!I am so upset that without any warning you disabled the Allrecipes app! I relied heavily on all my “favourite” saved recipes, yesterday I tried to access the app and it was no longer available! I do not want to subscribe to a magazine and I have lost all my recipes! I am moving on and finding a new app for recipes. To whomever’s decision it was to remove the app without warning - what an epic fail.Version: 2.3.9
✓ Completely pointlessI really don’t understand what the point of the app even is at this point. There’s no recipes. On a recipe app….the copy and paste dev responses aren’t encouraging either as they date back months and the app is still useless..Version: 5.4.4
✓ Where is the AppMissed opportunity, you should be firing people. See all these people here and many more would have paid to keep the app and the curated recipe collections right where they were. I can’t even say what I would pay, monthly, or yearly. It’s 2023, and you are choosing to focus on a magazine? I just continually getting angry about it as I am constantly turning to my phone to make one of my recipes I have made for YEARS, only to remember I can’t access them anymore. This is a way of life for a lot of people, what a financially destructive decision. Just charge people for the app, add adds, I don’t care. Doesn’t seem difficult. . . suddenly you have a source of income where there wasn’t one before..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Where’s the original app?I noticed today that one of my saved recipes wasn’t loading properly. Then I noticed none of my recipes were loading. It looks like the old app is gone and replaced with this new one. No big deal, as long as I still have access to my saved recipes. We’ll, I don’t. This is just a paid version if you subscribe to their print version! Hardly anyone has print magazine subscriptions anymore. Why force people into buying something they don’t want? Just charge a little for the app you already had that people loved! Poor business decision. I can get over it because it’s not my business, but I can give you one star for deleting an app used by lots of customers without any warning. Awful customer service..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Steaming Pile of AspicAs many other reviewers have mentioned, this app is not the same as the old Allrecipes app. I used the old app for years and I loved it. It contained many of my favorite recipes. The original app no longer functions. The developer has a canned response to these negative reviews. Their response mentions that ‘you will get access to all of the issues in you account.’ What we negatively reviewers want is access to all of the recipes we saved over the past several years and a functioning return of the old app..Version: 5.5.8
✓ This is crapI’ll delete the app after this review. Do not download. They’ve screwed their loyal followers and supporters. Can’t find my saved recipes and can’t search for the recipes by title in the new app. A worthless piece of junk. If I could I’d leave less than one star rating.Version: 2.4.1
✓ You’re using folks recipes for your emails.People posted their recipes on the old app to share, now you are using them for magazine email solicitations? You all killed the greatest recipe app in all app land and the thing is that the users were the ones who supplied the recipes and did all the work. It was so great for for beginners and kids. Now you’ve resorted to the click bait and endless drivel model? You had a huge opportunity. We’d of paid annual fee. You could have tied into grocery store apps and made millions there. You all need to rethink this decision..Version: 5.6.0
✓ Garbage! Zero starsWhat an extremely disappointing situation to open the All Recipes app that you have used for YEARS, only to find that your collection of recipes has vanished. You can’t even search ingredients anymore and the feed of Today’s Recommendations is the same 17 recipes EVERY DAY! What a huge aggravating experience! I don’t know what prompted this decision but you have let down MANY longtime users. Your app was a place I could go to always find (and store) great recipes. I honestly can not express in words, how disappointed I am that all of my saved recipes are gone..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Who made this horrible decision??To your CEO, VP and everyone involved that decided to renovate the app, I hope you understand how many people you ticked off. You update an app with options to make money, not eliminate the recipes that all your users use daily like I did. I enjoyed having fellow users their attempt at the recipe, appreciated their opinions and used recommendations. I really don’t care about experts trying to make fancier grilled cheese. I want the everyday cook to tell me his or her family recipe that makes my family happy after eating that meal. I want my recipe file back!! I want to enter a ingredient and choose what looks good. If I wanted your magazine I would buy it, but I want the community you gave us that you took away without any regard to the people already enjoying what you offered..Version: 5.5.8
✓ You made me shed some tears!I went to go get my favorite recipe for cheesecake on your app to make for my mother on Mother’s Day…and your app was empty of data. Hmmm…maybe there was a mistake with the latest download. Surely, a company wouldn’t do that…and I should know. I have been in Marketing in the top Forbes/Fortune 200 Tech companies for the last 20+ years. Doing what you did to your loyal app users to try and convert them to your magazine was brand suicide. That was poor planning technically and from a customer retention/attraction standpoint. Your best option would have been to shut off your old app from new subscribers by taking it down from the App Store but keeping it active for your old base users while launching your new magazine for all net new subscribers. Then, use your old base of subscribers to promote your new magazine to even through your old app or email campaigns. Sheesh…you all blew it. And…I miss my recipes! This was my app for recipes. You all rocked and didn’t even know or appreciate your platform for that or your fan base. Sad..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Cash-grabThe old Allrecipes app no longer works and this one requires a magazine subscription. No thanks. I’ve used allrecipes.com for a long time (20 years I think) and directed a LOT of people to the website over the years. The app made everything super-convenient. No longer the case I guess. The form-letter responses here in the App Store is odd. Dev doesn’t want something in the open. 1-star; convince me to change it if you can..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Awful! Bring back the app!!The AllRecipes app was my go-to app for years … but they broke it. I installed this “magazine” app, but it is USELESS. All I want is the ability to type in something like “turkey tetrazzini” and get some recipe options. What a shame, and so pathetic. I’m really grateful I didn’t use their Saved Recipe feature (I would cut-n-paste the text on a computer, review the comments for improvements, and create my own version … my own cookbook has 200+ recipes now). Shame on you! (I just received the “developer response”: it is identical to the others. They aren’t even reading these. Mucho pathetic).Version: 5.5.8
✓ Disappointed20 years of saved recipes all gone. To the developers, I hope you can find a way to restore my old account…even for a week so I can save some of my favorite recipes. Some of those recipes not only brought joy to me but also to loved ones who enjoyed the dishes and desserts I have made. I understand funds are needed to continue running that once amazing platform but I wish there was a warning on the app about the changes. To those who generously shared recipes, photos, reviews, and suggestions for elevating a recipe, thank you..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Useless App!!I’m thoroughly disgusted with this app! I use the original app since it’s inception. It was wonderful. I found new and exciting recipes and I was able to save the recipes I loved. I was even able to submit recipes! I could also sort through and find great gluten free recipes. The original APP was wonderful!! What you have done here is cheated all your loyal fans of some great cooking experiences! Shame on you!!! Now, I can’t find a single recipe I enjoy. I’ve lost all my saved recipes that I loved so much. The website is difficult if not impossible to maneuver as is now a FB page! The new app is USELESS & I will not signup for the magazine!!😡 You’ve done a true disservice to the original APP and all of its users!! I’ve deleted app… I will not waste my time!.Version: 5.5.8
✓ Not the Same AppAfter reading many of the recent reviews, I realize now what happened. Was trying to use the app to find a recipe and realized that no matter what I used as the search terms, it wouldn’t show anything different. I had also been unable to log into the app to see a saved recipe. Was thinking my copy of the app had somehow been corrupted, so deleted it intending to download a new copy. However the app I had is no longer available - this one is definitely not the original, and is useless if you aren’t a subscriber to their magazine. Had to delete it as well. Such a huge disappointment. Like others, I’ve had my account for years and years, and have saved tons of favorite recipes. Having them on the app is handy for using on your phone while you’re cooking. However, all the previous functionality has been gutted. Don’t waste your time with this app..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Why??????This message is to the company or individuals that purchased this app. If you would have started charging for the Allrecipes app, I am pretty confident most that used it would have gladly paid. However, that option wasn’t given to hundreds of thousands of users…therefore loosing years and years of saved and treasured recipes we have shared with our families and friends never to be accessed again. Shame on all of you! I feel sorry for companies that truly aren’t in touch with and know who their customers are. On a side note…I am praying Chef John partners with someone to create his own app. As he was my favorite contributor. So long to my treasured and beloved recipes. Myself and my family morn this loss🥲💔.Version: 5.5.8
✓ I miss you old All Recipes app!I was so sad when I started having trouble with my All Recipes app and once I figured out what happened I was even more sad. I tried the new app a few times and just don’t like it at all. I miss the ease and convenience of finding all my favorite recipes. I also miss the easy search ability of recipes and being able to sort them. I have been on all recipes for what seems like a lifetime. I will continue to try and use the website, but that too has changed as well. I am not too fond of it either, but there were a lot of recipes my family and I love..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Where my app and recipes?I loved the Allrecipies app. I have many recipes stored on there and used it to make some great meals. During the closing of our business we didn’t eat much at home. Imagine my surprise when I tried to open your app only to find it didn’t work and everything was gone. I don’t know who’s brainy idea this was but what a mistake. I hope your rethinking the app decision and decide to bring it back. The ratings your getting should support that decision. Somehow please let us know if you do that. Next to the Budlight fiasco this int that far behind!!.Version: 5.5.8
✓ Beyond FrustratingDo not pay a dime for this app!! I’ve been a faithful user of the Allrecipes app for close to 10 years and have compiled a large collection of recipes stored on it. From time to time the app has been glitchy but it has always worked out the bugs without a long delay. Until earlier this month when it completely locked me out on both my iPhone and iPad. Without. Any. Notice. I was still able to access my saved favorites on my laptop so I spent the last few days printing out all of the recipes before deleting the app. My hope was that if I reinstalled it later the problem would correct itself and I’d be able to get back into my account. No such luck! When I went to find the app at the store I found the entirely new option ‘Allrecipes Magazine’ which requires a purchase. No thanks because I have no faith that the same thing won’t happen again. I’m done…back to hard copy cookbooks I go!!.Version: 5.5.8
✓ What Happened?I used to get loads of recipes here…. Now, the login does not work! Used to get so many Gluten Free, Dairy Free, etc… What has happened?.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Wow this sucksWas in the middle of making dinner and tried to open the old app and couldn’t. I just needed to double check on a recipe I used often on the old app and it said to download the newest one. I did but couldn’t access any of my saved recipes. What’s even worse, I couldn’t even log in! You just lost a loyal follower. I wish I can give you minus stars..Version: 5.4.3
✓ We need the old appWhat’s going on with your apps? Please bring the all recipes app back.Version: 5.4.4
✓ New app terribleYou changed the app. It is now terrible and I can’t use it. Not happy!.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Amazingly Disappointed Beyond BeliefWow, just wow! The new venture you have decided to embark on sure wasn’t the right one and I’m sure I can speak for everyone who used the AR Dinner Spinner app when I say that I’m beyond disappointed. In total, we’ve probably all had about 10,000 years worth of recipes saved in our favorites. All of which had made us heroes in the kitchen. Nearly all my dishes made from the AR app were complimented by an angelic choir singing in harmony when presented to my wife, kids, aunties, uncles etc…. I WAS A MASTER CHEF IN THEIR EYES!!! Now I cook ramen from the package. Not homemade. My sweet and sour pork II is no longer a click away and I’m forced to buy pre packaged garbage from Sams. This is a travesty. My heart goes out to all who are going through the same demise as I. It was good while it lasted and I can guarantee you that there will never be another app quite like it. It really is a shame. Spare me the automatic response apology everyone has gotten on here. I don’t want to hear it. You’re dead to me…..unless you bring back the APP we all really want. Not this magazine garbage you’re trying to pawn off as the latest and greatest. Trust me, nobody cares..Version: 5.5.8
✓ AllRecipies is a waste of a former great company!THANKS FOR NOTHING ALLRECIPES!!! CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WITH THESE PEOPLE AND DON’T GIVE THEM A DIME BECAUSE THEY ARE CON-ARTISTS!!! Went to check on my recipes today and everything is gone. Search engine isn’t working. Spinner pulls up nothing. All the years of recipes I saved are all completely gone. I tried contacting anyone and nobody there is responding. Now I’m seeing that there are tons of reviews & complaints going back to the beginning of March 2023 and it’s still not fixed! So I’m guessing that this company has just decided to treat their subscribers like garbage? I’ve been a subscriber for over 10 years!!! How about a little notice guys!!! Or did you sell the company to Elon Musk because that’s the only acceptable excuse for any of this. Again DO NOT waste your time or money on these people because they will rob you blind!!!.Version: 5.5.8
✓ Very disappointed!I have been a loyal fan to Allrecipes for years! Many many wonderful years I have relied on recipes that other loyal customers as well, have tried and shared their trials and errors! I accidentally deleted the app and now I can’t find it! BRING BACK the good and get rid of this magazine that I refuse to look at! VERY DISAPPOINTED in your poor choices!.Version: 5.5.8
✓ DISGUSTING Customer ServiceI only downloaded this app so I could tell you how disgusted I am with your program and service. I was a member since 2010 and went to use the app today and found I have been logged out... no membership ... then when I requested a reset got “someone trying to steal my identification” message and inproper certificates. Now it appears you just deleted all your members and expect us to sign up to your so called magazine. If we don’t we will loose have access to 10 years of work. The hell I will. Deleting this app as soon as this is published. PS I object to having to give you even one star. In reality it is worth -10 or squat..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Totally FrustratedI, at one time, used this as my go to place. Then the crashing started. What up? Now this happens. Binden has gotten his fingers on this too!.Version: 5.4.5
✓ Absolutely disappointing app- bring back the old app***UPDATE*** It is clear that the developers do not actually read these reviews and instead provide a canned response. AllRecipes has made it abundantly clear that they do not care about the concerns of everyday users. I used the old Allrecipes app for years and have tons saved. I can’t even log in on the new app using my old information. What is the point of all this? This new app is horrible . I do not want to be prompted to subscribe to a magazine. I don’t want to read a magazine for recipes. The app was convenient and easier to navigate than the website. Bring back the old app….Version: 5.5.8
✓ Not what I expected?How can I search for a recipe if there are none. I looked up for ‘lamb’ recipes and only one recipe show up. You are paying for a magazine with recipes you not really interested to cook! Pointless app and I got charged for something I can find for free everywhere!.Version: 2.5.0
