What the heck has happened?!
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!!
Allrecipes.com
Where is it! It’s not even an app. Loved the old way
Recipes are gone
Recipes are gone and i cant reinstall the old app or login. But i have access only the website?!?!
Terrible app.
Terrible app.
Hysterical Developer Responses…
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.

Bring back the old app
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.

My heart is broken 💔
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
App gone like the Dodo bird.
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.

Please (!!!) bring back the old app !!!
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!

Just Stupid
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!!!
Still a bad choice!
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.
Zero or negative stars if possible.
I HATE, HATE, HATE having to use the website. The Allrecipes app was one of my all-time favorite apps and I used it weekly. I was able to recover all of my previously saved recipes by using my previous username and password, but it does take some effort to locate them every time. I have to select my account on the top right and then select saved items from the left side column that opens. Not exactly the most user friendly. From there, it is almost impossible to view or print recipes, search and save new recipes, or do almost anything else, due to the over abundance of annoying ads and pop-ups all over the place and often times blocking what I’m trying to view. I would have gladly paid a reasonable annual or one-time fee to the creators for the use of the ad-free app.

What happened to the good All Recipes app!!!
Are you serious? Whoever made this decision is a bumbling idiot! I used to almost exclusively use the app and snow I only use Yummly or Taste, cause you turned the app into a worthless pile of garbage.
I’ve lost everything of mine, including years of my saved and favorite recipes with notes!

Bring the original app back.
This is a joke. They removed the BEST recipe apps out there “to work on their website” only to make a new app for their magazine app and it’s a paid subscription. Whoever made this decision should be fired.
Listen to your users! I don’t want a “thank you for your feedback” only to have nothing done. Do what is right and what we are asking for.

BADBADNOTGOOD
I used to have a great experience with the allrecipes app. For so many reasons it was an excellent resource and interface. This is yet another example of a corporate buy out killing everything good about something and replacing it with something so completely unlike the former that it can only disappoint.

So disappointing
So much for saving recipes and going paperless only to lose all recipes saved on old all recipes app. Wish I could give this zero stars. Chef John had the best recipes. I’ll be searching him out.
Recipes disappeared
I am beyond disappointed that the recipes I have been saving & utilizing all the time are now gone. I get you are trying something new, but there should have been some courtesy letting customers know everything wad going to be gone. I don’t want your magazine. I want to be able to search for recipes with ease, the app did that. I would love to have my recipes back. All Recipes was always my first go to when looking for recipes. I’ll be utilizing a different recipe app going forward.

Goodbye
I had years of recipes in my account now they are gone so is the app I deleted it now I’m looking to find recipes to replace them . If I wanted a magazine I would buy one ! I am very disappointed goodbye.5 nicknames are taken I find that hard to believe
😭
App stopped working after YEARS of having it and I deleted to reload in hopes of fixing bugs and now the app is a magazine and won’t let me log in.
Super tedious to go to the website all the time. Ugh.

What a waste of a great app!
Not a review of the magazine app…just joining the chorus of reviewers frustrated by the mysterious disappearance of the old AllRecipes app. It was great. This “new” old-school business model is not the way people want to look for and store recipes. Well, people who value their time, anyway. Best of luck in the future!

Waste of time
Like so many others, I lost 20 years worth of recipes with no warning. Way to ruin a brand. Website is a terrible substitute, ad filled, impossible to navigate, and cluttered. Don't bother. The interesting thing is that I would have paid for access to the old app, if they hadn't broken it. Someone took a good business model and ruined it. In short, don't waste your time on this app or with whatever the new magazine is supposed to be. It's awful.
