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!

Not free. Bait and switch

Its free to create an account but to see any recipe you must pay. Lol. Terrible business practice

Difficulty changing email

When I changed servers, my email changed. Now I find it difficult to access my paid subscription.
