Life changing for our house

I absolutely love this app. It has saved us from a lot of frustration. It nice that you cam type in an specific ingredient that you have on hand and see what you can make with it, without getting overwhelmed by the internet results.

I do wish for the recipe search (not saved) there would be a short list of search history and recently viewed.
It would be helpful for when I am in the middle of researching for recipes and have to put my phone down. When i pick up the app again, it refreshes after being away for some time.

MyRecipes App 2.0

If you’ve been around for more than a few years, you know that MyRecipes already HAD an app, and I, like many others, loved it, and paid for the “Lifetime Subscription”. Then, a couple of years ago, they took down the app and when we complained, they said, “Tough Luck, we aren’t doing an app anymore.”
Now, lo and behold, they made a new app, but now there are only monthly and annual subscription options, so I guess it’s still, “Tough Luck. We already got your money and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Well, I’m not giving them another red cent, because they can’t be trusted to keep their agreements.
Lifetime, my eye.

Can’t go full screen on an iPad?!

Why do I want to try and read a recipe on only a third of my iPad screen? I’d much rather go to a website than try and use this on here. Can’t find and save all my favorites on the website anymore though so now I can only use this?! Make this available to fill in the entire IPad screen and we’d have a much better experience. I miss the Allrecipes dinner spinner app. That was so much better than this.

Reviews are hidden

You can’t read the reviews in the app. I found the user tips and suggestions often improved recipes significantly. You have to scroll down to “View Recipe on the Web” to take you to the full recipe details.
If I have to do that why use the app in the first place? Consumer Reports did the same thing, making their app a summary of their product reviews, often leaving out critical decision making information. Hated that too.

Don’t waste your time. Doesn’t work.

This app, MyRecipes, doesn’t work on my iPhone. It provides me a 403 error message with no further information. I had such high hopes to have all of the recipes in one spot that was easily accessible. Unfortunately this new app is not working out and will be deleted.

It is a new app, so I will try again in a few months maybe if I remember to.

Don’t waste your time.

Strong Start

I have been cooking with this for the last three weeks and I love it. I have been using recipes from brands like Food & Wine and Serious Eats for years. Now I can organize those recipes along with all of the stuff I have been saving from social (and never looking at again).

What happened to the halves?

I find most recipes to Large so I use the 1/2 tool but now that I can’t find my recipes on the website I have to go to this app that doesn’t have the halves on it so I go to the app to find the recipes name and then I have to go back to the website and look it up. I’m really hoping that this is just a temporary thing and they fix this.

It’s free until you try to import

I thought this was going to be great… I can’t afford to pay for it but I’m willing to deal with ads… but when I tried to save a recipe from social media I was shown the screen where it says importing… then it said the connection was interrupted… I tried 3 times… getting the same error… only there was no interruption… I never lost cell or WiFi… so is importing from social media only available if you pay?? I don’t recall seeing anything that stated that

Mobile Web and App Not Syncing

For the most part, the experience is fine but when I try to save recipes within the app, the collection feature doesn’t appear to be synced to the web application account I created. So when I try to create a new collection in the app, it says that it already exists but the collection doesn’t show in my list of collections for me to select and save the recipe.

money grab

i downloaded the app but it immediately wanted me to subscribe to get full features. it sounds like in 7 days the free trial turns into a paid subscription so i deleted it. i’ll use web page access like before. they also say they track a lot of personal data tied to your ID. i don’t need my info sold to more advertisers.

The best recipe app out there

Simply put, it’s the best recipe app I’ve tried, and I’ve been through a lot of them. The thing that really separates this from the pack is their catalog, it’s just so much deeper than everyone else’s. Now with the ability to save recipes from anywhere, it’s limitless. Highly recommend!

Sweet App!

I’ve enjoyed using the website, but excited to have an app where I can see the recipes without all the clutter and ads. So convenient!

Freezes up

Every time I save a recipe the app locks and freezes up. I was excited about being able to store all the recipes I like or want to try but not happy with the aggravation of having to completely close it every time

It’s back!

Well kind of - I’m referring to the old AllRecipes “Dinner Spinner” app - why was it ever discontinued?? MyR app appears to be the successor and has some great features; I used my old AllRecipes email to register and it even remembers some of the old recipes from that app! I haven’t had a ton of time to explore the app but it seems solid. Ad intrusion is minimal, but I’m curious to see how that evolves over time. I will probably pay for a subscription, but the free version has a lot to offer so no hurry there.

A Game Changer for My Saved Recipes

This app is 5 stars! I love having all of my saved recipes in one place, plus access to more than 100,000 recipes. My favorite feature is the ability to save recipes directly from social media. I had so many recipes saved on Instagram and TikTok, but no easy way to organize them or find them again when I actually wanted to make something. Now I can save and organize everything in one place, which makes it so much easier to keep track of recipes I want to try. I absolutely love it!

Great search and recipe coverage

It’s been really easy to for multiple filters at once (high protein + one pan), and there seems to be recipes for everything I search for.

Love It

So glad MyRecipes is now an app! It’s super easy to navigate. I especially like building my own featured collections so I can organize everything exactly the way I want to. Looking forward to continue using when I do my weekly meal planning

Love this!

I really, really love having one place to save all my favorite recipes! The personalized recipe recommendations are especially great — they save me hours of digging through websites and on social to find new recipes to fill out my weekly meal plan. 10/10!
