### 1/5 — What the heck has happened?!

*2026-03-15, version 5.8.6*

I used Allrecipes regularly while my kids were growing up. I still have plenty of printed out recipes. But now with this new “app”, I can’t even get it to open. Very disappointed in this, and I will treasure the recipes that I printed out. And seriously, go back to the old format!!

### 1/5 — Allrecipes.com

*2025-08-19, version 5.7.0*

Where is it! It’s not even an app. Loved the old way

### 1/5 — Recipes are gone

*2025-02-07*

Recipes are gone and i cant reinstall the old app or login.  But i have access only the website?!?!

Terrible app.

### 1/5 — Hysterical Developer Responses…

*2025-01-05, version 5.6.6*

This app is an atrocity.  What’s worse is all the heartfelt reviews of lost recipes and the follow up developer responses.  Every response is the same generic AI bot saying how sorry they are and how much they appreciate the feedback.  Hysterical incompetence.  Allrecipes should be taught in business schools as an example of alienating their customers and losing business.  Pathetic.

### 1/5 — Bring back the old app

*2024-11-28, version 5.6.6*

I cannot even believe after this many negative reviews All recipes still won’t bring back the old app.  It was fantastic.  I am beyond disappointed. My saved recipes are still online last I checked but having them accessible on my phone while cooking was amazing!  Still just sad and mad they won’t bring back the old app.  I too would have been willing to pay some small fee for upkeep rather than this nonsense.

### 1/5 — My heart is broken 💔

*2024-11-16, version 5.6.4*

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

### 1/5 — App gone like the Dodo bird.

*2024-11-10, version 5.6.4*

I normally access the site on my workstation. Which, so far still works - allrecipes.com - but when I went to use it on my tablet (I needed a reminder for amounts), I found that my app no longer functioned. So like I normally do, I removed the app and went to download it again figuring there were updates needed. Could not find it in the “App Store” or in the Microsoft Store”. I did find this magazine app. I, thankfully, read a few of the reviews before downloading the app. Then I read a few more. And more. I decided not to use the magazine app period. Thankfully, any recipe that I liked and wanted to try out I saved on my local drive. So unlike the others in the reviews I’ve read, I still have them. Just click on ‘print’ and change it from your printer name to “save as pdf”. That way I never lose them. One thing I noticed in all the reviews I did read is that the “Developer Response” is basically a cut and paste response. The email address is different (3 or 4 different ones), but that is just about it. Starts with the same exact sentence - “Thank you for taking the time to give us a review.” And continues on. I tried to do y own cut and paste so I could copy the entire developer response, but was unable to. ——- So now I need to find another app/site for my recipes, although I still have tons I have not used yet, lol. I will miss “Chef John” though. It was always enjoyable to listen to him describe how to create the dish. I hope that others read this so that they will find the way to save - locally - the recipes they wanted to try. Luck to those people.

### 1/5 — Please (!!!) bring back the old app !!!

*2024-11-09, version 5.6.4*

Like others, I found the old app the be indispensable in the kitchen.  I had years of recipes saved, I used it many times per week, and honestly would’ve been more than happy to pay for it.  WHY would Allrecipes take steps backward to return to a magazine format.  Who even reads magazines any more, print or digital?!  What a shame!

### 1/5 — Just Stupid

*2024-10-05, version 5.6.3*

Most of my favorite recipes are gone. Those recipes have been used to carry on family traditions every holiday season. Thanks a lot!!! No response or apology needed or accepted. UGH!!!

### 1/5 — Still a bad choice!

*2024-07-17, version 5.6.3*

I was hoping that eventually with all the complaints that the decision makers of your company would come to their senses and bring back the app that was loved by so many. It was a bad choice then and is still a bad choice now.
