Did you remove all video instructions for recipes? I couldn’t see them anywhere

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your feedback. With our latest update, the recipe videos are unfortunately no longer supported. However, we can reassure you that this only applies to a very small number of recipes in our app. However, we are currently discussing internally how we can prepare the necessary information for the recipes in another way. The recipes with videos are very old recipes (some of them almost 10 years old), which is why adding step-by-step instructions is quite time-consuming. We have a lot of inspiring, delicious recipes in our app, hopefully you will find what you are looking for! Thank you for your understanding and best wishes from Berlin 💛

Fantastic range of recipes

Really love this app and have a lot of recipes saved in my cookbooks. I love the articles as they always have great tips and interesting recipes. I love how I can customise my cookbooks, I just wish I could add my own to them as the ones I’ve published are still pending 6 months later :/ love the new Halloween app too! Add a Christmas one too please :)

Recipes load videos of wrong recipes

Most recipes do not load the correct video in the Apple TV version of this app. Huge let down.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! We're currently working on the improvement of our Apple TV features and therefore hope, that you have a bit more patience. Happy cooking! 💛

So disappointed..

I’m really not too satisfied with this app. I tried to log in on the website to post a coffee recipe on the website rather than the app, which is hard enough, and I hadn’t reset my password just yet. I reset my password and tried the log in again with the correct password. Nothing. Then I tried to use the old password. It still said I was wrong. It’s really hard to post recipes, and that’s the part I was really excited about. At first, I loved the idea of doing that, and letting people see the things I make, but executing that action is a lot harder than I ever knew it would be. I really wish you could start letting us post on the app again. Please don’t ask me to reach out to the company, because, respectfully, I never do that and I never will.

Dear Anonymous81936, we're very sorry to hear that! Unfortunately, this is a technical issue, we can only solve if you reach out to us. Sometimes, it can happen that users create another account per accident when they log in with a social log-in (via Apple, Facebook, Google). This way, a new email address is being created. And then the password reset link doesn't work anymore, because the email is sent to the new account. We really hope you can give us another chance! All the best 💛

So good it works again!!

Just as I took the time months ago to express my frustration with the many issues the app had then, I’m glad to be back now to thank you for bringing all the good features back… plus many more recipes! Thanks so much for working hard to bring your app to work as good as it used to and for not letting us down. Keep up the great work!!! 👏

Dear Paola, Thank you for your feedback. We're really sorry that not everything is running as smoothly as planned at the moment. We are also not happy about the fact that some unforeseeable technical problems have occurred and understand your anger only too well! We can assure you that our developers are already working hard to fix the bugs so that the app will be back to normal as soon as possible. We really hope you can give us some more patience 💛

The app is getting worse

I used to love this app and wrote a dozen of recipes. It used to only take a couple of days for them to review and publish the recipes. I stopped for a couple of years and started to reuse it this year. They are short staffed so they told me now it takes over a month to review. What’s worse, many buttons on the phone app keep giving me error messages. Now you can’t even create a recipe on your phone but you have to use the web page. If you prefer to use your laptop, you’ll have to transfer all you photos there to create a recipe. Once you submit a recipe to review, you can’t edit it using the phone app-again, you need to log on using your web browser. And once you submit the change while a recipe is under review, you need to keep refreshing the page to reflect the changes. Lastly, once something is published, you can’t make any edits. Before I was able to email them but this time nobody replied to me to correct my typo. This is getting really annoying and disappointing.

Hello PP12345!, thank you for your honest feedback, we really take it to heart. When we updated our app, we removed the user recipe upload feature and transferred it to our website, that's why you probably get the error message. Please send us an email via hello@kitchenstories.de with the recipes' names you want to be uploaded, so we can take care of it as soon as possible! Unfortunately we're still very low in capacities, which is why the whole process takes so long at the moment. This is something we can't change, but we'll try out best to make our community happy! Thanks for your patience 💛 All the best from Berlin

For You doesn’t work

The “For You” does not work. I can’t select any preferences. It just goes to a gray screen. I tried deleting it and re-downloading. Still doesn’t work

Please bring back the shopping list option

I would give this app 5 stars previously there was an option for adding ingredients to a shopping list and you could tick it off as you went. Please bring it back!!! <333

Steep downhill of a once brilliant app

I used to love this app. I have made over 100 recipes from here. Then for some shiny new features, actual game changers like the shopping list were chucked out of the window. App reviews turned from all 5 stars to all 1 stars the next morning. Promises came that the features would be back with a new version soon. Now I was excited that maybe this version is bringing it back. Instead, now the app crashes before it even opens. I appreciate those who think big and challenge the notion of “never change a working system”. But the choice of a new UI at the expense of virtually all valuable features is completely beyond me. What a shame. I hope the developers realise their mistake and correct it asap because the way things look, I am not sure how many of your long-term users are going to keep trying for months before giving up on the app forever.

Hello Peter, thanks for your honest feedback. It's true that we've been experiencing some bugs during some of our updates - like for example the app crashing, which we were able to fix with our latest update (20.0.15). We are currently working on many valuable features and we will bring back one of our most popular features, the shopping list - this is not an empty promise, but will happen at the beginning of the new year. We appreciate your feedback and we are hoping to keep you as a Kitchen Stories user! 💛
