Leave a Review Epicurious
Great resource and entertainment
I’ve been using Epicurious for many years. It’s always my “go to” place for ideas. I rarely follow recipes exactly do I usually read through a number of recipes and combine the best of each. I also get ideas from the reviews. This is dodo where the entertainment factor kicks in. I love how people review a recipe and give it “forks” even when they use none of the ingredients. Maybe there should be a different system for reviewing recipes when you modify the recipe to the point where it’s a whole new recipe. Anyway I have a number of favorite “go to” recipes which I love and many more saved that I want to try.Show lessSusan LZ
What happened with recipe bookmarks..OhOh, where is support?, and now can’t rate!
Saving a recipe from an email to the app was always a bit clumsy and web/app sync never seemed to work. The frustrating workaround for me was to only save to the app after needing to launch it. Now it seems an email link won’t save to the app at all. Sync is fundamental...fix it up please.
Update:
Continuing to pursue this issue further at the directed email resulted in an invalid address response. So solid for long, nothing has changed on my end. My support request email seemingly not received:
My web site has started to have many more recipes than my iOS app. I never paid much attention to the website count, but something now seems up with saving a recipe to the app from the subscription emails so the syncing became noticed. Yes, I use the same email login and have logged out/in of both several times. Most frustrating!!
Next update:
Further exploring how to get my “favorite after work app to enjoy”, actually sync so it’s useful, it now seems that the 'Rate in the App Store' selection is now unavailable. Great app, bad something!!Show lessPR in Boston
Used to Love....Disappointed
I have subscribed before and been a lover of Bob Appetit and Epicurious for many many years! I love the magazines, articles, menus, recipes and was thrilled when there was an app made available. Yes, there have been glitches along the way but nothing that drove me nuts until now.
I use the app some what frequently but honestly would rather flip though my old magazines for inspiration unless I’m thinking something specific and want to search for that type item. Like today...thinking I’d love a dessert with pears as the star. So I search...pears...I find over 200 options.
I’m so excited!! Until in disgust I give up after about 25 because out of those, other than a lovely table setting the only number that had an actual image of the recipe indicated that I was lookin for was maybe 2 or 3😳
What?!?! Isn’t that the whole point!! Don’t we eat with our eyes first!!!!
I want to see what the recipe is talking about...what is it depicting? Is this something I want to make and serve?
Come on Epicurious!!!

Not bad but could be better
Coming back after a long while not using the app — loved the iPad version to pieces 5-6 years ago! But now that some time has passed and I’ve gained friends with several severe allergies to dairy, seafood, and garlic (yes that is a thing), it’s quite frustrating the lack of granularity in being able to filter out certain ingredients based on certain allergies or dietary preferences. Also the search function appears to be a bit broken — I was looking up cinnamon rolls because a featured recipe caught my eye but I wanted to see what other recipes were available, and it said there were no recipes AT ALL, including said featured recipe. A bit confusing, that. I would love to see some more improvements in these regards!Show lesspipelinebreak
It could be perfect but...
I have been using this app off and on for about 5 years. I have seen the addition of new features like the Shopping List which I totally love. However, this app is filled with bugs, and glitches no matter how many updates are made. There’s always a new issue with this app and therefore becomes an inconsistent resource which completely defeats the purpose of being a recipe/cooking resource. As of right now, when you open the app, after the loading page the screen turns completely white, you can not see any of the content, you can not select anything, it’s just a white screen. This inconvenience is similar to what happens about 6 - 8 months ago when the app would just close if you tried to sign in to view your saved recipes. Before that, the app would just close right after the loading page and you couldn’t access anything. There are no apps with similar content/quality recipes which is even more frustrating because there’s an obvious mismatch between the quality in content and the quality of app developers that manage this app. I am hoping for a day soon where either another, well coded app, is made with quality content or Epicurious gets it together. However I am not to confident in the latter.Show lessDoBetterPls
One of my favorite apps but...
I use this app multiple times a week. As a Bon Appetit subscriber, it’s a great way to find and save recipes from the magazine. It’s also a terrific reference and source of inspiration, especially on those ‘what’s for dinner tonight?’ days. The search tools and photography are great and help to sort through a massive database of recipes. I own over 100 cookbooks but use epicurious more than any of them.
That said, there is room for improvement. Most notably the app keeps crashing and giving me a blank white screen shortly after the initial content load since the most recent update. Also, I’m surprised that the developers have chosen to only allow reviews to be submitted through the website. I find reviews of recipes to be a very valuable feature since many of the reviewers are knowledgeable cooks, but I rarely contribute to this community because the app doesn’t allow it. Please fix the bugs and enable reviews Condé Nast!Show lessLG2.0

Love the recipes, but my app keeps crashing lately which is very annoying. Would get 5 stars if that wasn’t happening.sthe2908

Delightful
Epicurious is a feast for the eye and the imagination. It’s sensual! Even the fonts are creamy! I always learn something new, and it is #1 for usability.TC-63
