App REVIEWS
App changes lowered the quality of this App. I've used it for years. Use to you could categorize the recipe you saved, now you can't & you have to scroll forever looking 4 your recipe & you can't always find them. You can only read the 1st 3 reviews on a recipe now. Guess I'll go back to organizing a recipe book. You also can no longer print recipes fr the app. What has happened? And lastly if you go in your web acct changes you make don't synch with the app even tho you hv the same login.
great app for recipes. my one complaint is that the search function does not always work well. for example, I can search for "clam chowder" and the results will have 1-2 results for clam chowder and then the rest will all be completely unrelated. also, it occasionally shows me results from a past search instead of the current search. edit: 11 months later, still getting the same search problems.
I have been using this app for years, but I've found that it's become increasingly glitchy and difficult to use. In recent months the app frequently crashes when trying to open a recipe. After the most recent update, all my categorized recipe folders are gone, so all my saved recipes are now all mixed together, and it often won't load all of my saved recipes when I try to scroll through them. When I try to use the Search feature to find one of my saved recipes, it brings up no results.
Using the app, many/most of my personal recipes result in a message stating that the recipe cannot be found. From the browser I can find them, but it does not appear I can search to find a specific one. I posted a question about it in help/message section of the app a few weeks ago, and have not recieved a reply.
My only complaint is that the categories were taken away. BRING BACK THE CATEGORIES UNDER FAVORITES please👎😡 Yea, I know you can search for the recipes you saved but in my opinion, having your saved recipes organized in categories makes searching so much easier. It's almost like they're making things harder for us. I still like this app but if the categories are brought back, I'll give this 5 stars. Think about it.
I like this app and have used it for years, despite the train wreck it became a while ago. Hopefully they are sincere about fixing it. I have had a couple of new bugs pop up in the past couple days: I can't do searches within my Favorites, and I keep getting kicked out of recipes - sometimes with a "Timed Out" message.
I used to LOVE this app. I've been using it for years. Before the so, I was a avid website user. But today, no matter what I do, it will NOT fetch any recipes! I even uninstalled/reinstalled the app and it just says "fetching recipes" then it times out a minute later! After an hour of trying to pull up a cookie recipe I'm super frustrated.
I have been using this app - and before that, the website - for YEARS. It has always worked flawlessly for me. After the 'update' a couple weeks back, I can't use the search function AT ALL. Everytime I hit 'search,' the app says 'fetching recipes' for an abnormally long period of time and then it times out. I've restarted the app, restarted my phone and even unistalled and re-installed the app, but the search is still not working. It's time to start looking around for a different app I guess...
Searching always times out, spinner never finds any results. Tried on wifi and LTE. Useless til these functions work. I have recipe cards for recording recipes, what I don't have is a larger encyclopedia of recipes and a way to search through it.
Recent update appears to have bugs. It doesn't refresh or complete searches. I can still find my favorite recipes but that's it. Hopefully I can edit this review back to 5 stars when the bugs are fixed. Use all the time.
It's been a while since my last review, so here goes...The app is great for finding go to/different recipes for either nightly dinners or holiday delights. I've subscribed to their YouTube channel and Love the variety of recipe videos offered their. With the recent upgrades, I find it difficult to scroll through recipe searches. Whenever I scroll to the bottom it slides right back to the top. Annoying. My saved recipes are No longer categorized like they use to be. The search feature stalls out.
This app used to be great. I am moving to another app. None of my recipes are in categories now, half my recipes have disappeared, and I can't search my favorites anymore. All the time I have spent saving recipes is now worthless because this app just keeps getting less functional. It does not work right on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra so don't waste your time downloading it.
Search engine broke, not sure what happened with just the name change but now I can't search for recipes. I thought at first it might be a compatibility issue with Android 13, but I get timeouts on my old tablet as well. Hard to find recipes when you can't use a simple search of gumbo.
This is my go to app when I'm searching for recipes. My only 2 gripes are that unlike the online version, favorites aren't able to be categorized for easier access to specific ones. I have to scroll thru many many recipes to find the one I'm looking for and a lot of times, I'll scroll so far thru my favorites to have it jump me back to the top. Soooo frustrating! I also can't leave reviews. I've looked as to how and the ability is simply not there on mine for some reason.
I have the app & have been using this for years. If you asked me even a month ago, it world have been a five. Most recently, I trying to scroll to add recipes for my grocery planning & it won't allow be to ever get to the bottom. Additionally, overnight, something happened to the grocery list feature, won't let you cross off items, as a start. The old saying is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's broke Update: You can see all your saved recipes now. Still, no improvement on the shopping list.
My previous 5 star allrecipes app rating is now lowered to 3 stars. The recipes are great. My complaint is that a saved recipe just goes to favorites. It does not allow me to save it to a particular category (i.e. chicken, vegetables, eggs, muffins etc). In order to find a saved recipe, I have to scroll through dozens of other recipes to find it. This is time consuming and very annoying. Lately, I have just been avoiding this app completely. Please, return the ability to categorize. Thank you!
Love it, except.... I get emails on my inbox. I open them on my phone. They go to the browser, with no visible option to open in the app. Which would be fine, except it usually won't let me save the recipes to my account from the browser, and often I can't find them searching in the app. Otherwise, it's really easy to use, and I've been saving recipes there for several years and go back to it regularly.
This app used to be great but but they've updated it and now you can't add the list of ingredients to your grocery list in any app. It makes it unusable. Also, for some reason with this update you only get to read 3 of the reviews on the mobile app. I want to read all the reviews, not just 3. Get this app back to what it used to be, please.
Don't bother! This platform used to allow you to categorize recipes and make notes for future use, but not anymore. Now there is no effective way to browse your saved recipes and scrolling through them takes ages. A few screens down and it glitches and takes you back up to the top. If you search for something and open a recipe, the back button takes you back to your entire saved recipe folder instead of your recent search, so it's a huge hassle to compare recipes.
This app has changed in so so many ways over the years, some changes for better, some not. My on-sale feature hadn't worked for a long while and I was hoping it would reappear in this long -awaited update. It appears to be gone forever. It was an important part of my weekly menu planning. All Recipes is just ok now. I'm checking out other recipe apps.
