1. 1/5What a joke

   I 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.

2. 1/5So disappointed - l lost years of curated recipes

   The 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.

3. 1/5Are you TRYING to sink your own company?

   My AllRecipes app hasn’t been working. So I went to the website, logged in, and EVERYTHING is gone…years of stuff…gone! I remembered seeing the listing for this “magazine” app when searching the App Store only to find that this is just the magazine. If I can’t rely upon you for the recipes and my collections, notes, and modifications, then why would I want your magazine?!…as I tease? Sorry, but I try to avoid torturing myself. I don’t know what thought process went into this decision…maybe something new is on the horizon…but I hope that next time you’ll consider: “Bigger” is NOT always “better”; “Older” is NOT necessarily “outdated”; “New” is often a further cry from “improved” than we’ll usually admit to ourselves; And anything that amounts to “reinventing the wheel” just might be the equivalent of doing twice the work, receiving half the reward, and for a level of quality that usually spends more time being considered mediocre before it has even the slightest chance of providing any real return value…just look at how many “new features” Facebook will proudly implement then quietly remove all because they’ve made a point of justifying their existence through “fixing” things that aren’t “broke”…just in need of a tuneup.

4. 1/5Your new app logo should be a ransom note

   That would be way more appropriate than what it looks like now. I had to reinstall this app just to leave this review to let you know you can just kill my poor little ransomed recipe box that is locked behind your magazine paywall. I won’t pay. It’s sad but what’s most amazing to me is just how impressively stupid it was of you to frustrate every. single. one. of your most likely subscribers who are *already deeply engaged* with your digital platform, which of course is the future of your “magazine.” I only had about 30 saved recipes but I used this app routinely as a way to find dinner ideas for my family. Now you want me to…subscribe to a monthly magazine for that? No thanks, I’ll just use one of your competitors or, you know, the rest of the entire internet. I feel bad for all the folks who had hundreds (thousands?) of hours invested in this app to have all of that time, and sentimental attachment to shared family recipes, only to have all of that ripped away and held hostage behind a paywall. I mean seriously it’s like you kidnapped everyone’s digital recipe boxes and you’ll only give them back if we … subscribe to a magazine? Nah, no thanks, I’d rather start over and not pay your ransom. I guess you can just kill my poor recipe box hostage. But the good news is that I can resurrect my poor little recipe box with another app. Anyway I’m going to be deleting this garbage app now. Farewell kind and good digital recipe box! I shall miss you but I look forward to rebuilding you again somewhere else! Good luck to all you other cooks and chefs out there. PS - “developer” don’t bother responding. I won’t be reading it.

5. 1/5Not the Same App

   After 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.
