User reviews

Good luck canceling a subscription

They make it extremely hard to get out of a subscription. Especially if you are trying to cancel during the free trial month.

Response from developer

Thank you for your thoughts, @flitzebus. Our teams are always working to improve the user experience and an important part of that process is your feedback. We have passed your review to our teams for further review. Thank you!

Impossible to find recipes

I paid for the subscription so I could have frank proto’s lasagna recipe from YouTube and it’s not even on the app that is advertised in the video

Disconnected and difficult to use

I’m used to using the NYT cooking app and its design is so much easier to use. I love bob Appétit recipes but recipes from bon appetit that come to my inbox via the newsletter never open in the Epicurious app so I can save it, I have to go to the app and search the recipe. And sometimes recipes aren’t even there! The fix is so simple and I would use it so much more if they could make it feel more connected and easy to use and save recipes.

App Stopped Working

Epicurious has been great for a long time and now the app stopped working completely. Signed out and back in, even deleted the app and reinstalled. Still doesn’t work. Their help page says they can only be contacted through the widget on their webpage, but no widget appears. Please fix this issue!

Why I love trying these

I find these recipes to be exciting to try and the results are are at least excellent but more often fantastic!
