### 2/5 — Allergies

*2026-07-28, version 3.39.4*

I have a shellfish allergy but I don’t want to rule out all seafood, especially with fish I enjoy like salmon. But when I have only shellfish marked on avoid I still get things like shrimp popping up.

### 3/5 — no sugar free?

*2026-07-21, version 3.39.4*

I don't understand why there aren't any sugar restricted options! You have a low kosher vegan… But no sugar-free option! No diabetic options.

### 4/5 — Tasty is the best!

*2026-07-14, version 3.39.4*

I’ve made many, many, recipes with Tasty and they’ve almost always turned out well! The only thing is that I think, when workers see rude or disrespectful comments, they should ask for it to be removed. 
I’ve seen very racist and disrespectful comments, and I suggest they be removed if a someone working at Tasty sees fit. Thank you!

### 2/5 — It’s changed

*2026-07-12, version 3.39.4*

This app was so easy and great to use when it first came out, now it’s completely different and way more complicated. It’s just not the same anymore. Too much going on in the app.

### 4/5 — Great!

*2026-07-03, version 3.39.4*

I love this app because it helps me find awesome recipes and helps me expand my cooking skills! My only things is that the ai assistant isn’t great about helping me find exactly what I’m looking for but other than that it’s amazing!!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App‼️

Love tasty recipes and cooking videos ‼️

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-06-01, version 3.39.4*

Love this website and app. Easy to use and love the different recipes too.

### 5/5 — GGG gg

*2026-05-30, version 3.39.4*

Awesome app but when adding ingredients to your cart be careful not to pay instead of adding to your cart ;)

### 5/5 — Tasty Is Great

*2026-05-30, version 3.39.4*

Ok so um tasty has different kind of recipes and u can make your own deserts snacks etc.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!!

*2026-05-29, version 3.39.4*

This app is amazing! Like I said it the title, this app is the best thing ever! There are videos on how to make stuff,and absolutely no adds! BEST thing I’ve EVER downloaded. Would recommend.❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Very delicious.

*2026-05-25, version 3.39.4*

I’ve had this app for years and have found many recipes that fit my lifestyle without paying for their premium subscription.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-24, version 3.39.4*

Best app ever it was made so thoughtfully, every time I wish something was true about the app it is it feels like they anticipated exactly what a user would really want

### 5/5 — Watermelon salad

*2026-05-24, version 3.39.4*

I made it and came out delicious

### 5/5 — This is yummy

*2026-05-19, version 3.39.4*

### 5/5 — Tasty

*2026-05-19, version 3.39.4*

This app is the best app for cooking and baking, hands down and I love the challenge videos they make too, especially Katie Abubin and Jasmine Pak the app is easy to use and very helpful!

### 4/5 — I see potential

*2026-05-18, version 3.39.4*

I like the meal plans. I would like an easy way to copy the ingredients to a clipboard instead of to a shopping list dedicated to Instacart. Also I do not see how to add a recipe to the meal plan so that its ingredients will show up on the grocery list.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-08-07, version 3.39.4*

Tasty used to be fantastic once upon a time until it became a subscription! Disgusting to say the least.

### 1/5 — Not suitable for people who don’t eat meat

*2026-07-20, version 3.39.4*

I’ve had this app no less than one minute. I set my dietary requirements to pescatarian and I go on the homepage and immediately it’s showing me chicken options. I changed it to vegetarian. It’s still showing me chicken options. 
I’ve already deleted it. Thumbs down from me!

### 1/5 — Awful app & customer service

*2026-06-16, version 3.39.4*

I’ve had this app for about 6 months now and one day the app wouldn’t open. I just got a blue screen and it froze. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it but when I logged back in, I had NONE of my recipes I’d saved and cooked. Everything I’d found and cooked was now gone. I reached out to their “customer service” which was a huge joke. I got one email reply telling me to login instead of create a new account. The lady clearly didn’t read my email or she thinks I’m just an idiot. Either way, it was bad customer service and I’m still left with a waste of time and money. I’ve already cancelled this membership so it will NOT renew. 

The food is ok, I guess. I’ve tried several recipes and only a handful have been ones I would repeat. To me it’s not worth the money when I can find the same stuff on IG or TT.

### 1/5 — Looking for an app that gives recipe ideas.

*2026-05-25, version 3.39.4*

Had the app for 20 minutes to check it out given the 400k reviews. It was a pain. IMO this app needs a way to filter out drinks and desserts. I’m looking for meal ideas and if the recommendations are 99% drinks and desserts, it doesn’t help out much. Saw one good recipe that was very basic, and I could have done an easy google search for it. Improve the filter ability and it might be a good enough app to download again.

### 1/5 — app so broken

*2026-05-14, version 3.39.4*

App is so broken I can’t even log in anymore. Uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing still. Super frustrating and disappointing.

### 1/5 — Profile

*2026-04-22, version 3.39.2*

Where did my profile go?!

### 1/5 — Not for kids!! - inappropriate ads!

*2026-04-15, version 3.39.1*

The app description says that it is for ages 4+ but it’s letting ads inappropriate for young kids. My son has been cooking and was excited about having this app on his Android phone, which has A LOT of parental restrictions. However, through this app inappropriate ads (sexualized Temu ads if you must know) appeared. I tried to report it directly from the ad, which made it disappear only to reappear a few seconds later. 
He’s uninstalled it. I only installed it to write this review.
I also see that people can post pictures of what they made. Are those pictures being regulated or like the ads in this app, anything can show up there?

### 1/5 — Dietary preferences

*2026-03-06, version 3.39.1*

I’m gf and it’s literally only suggesting recipes with gluten

### 1/5 — Logged off my tasty app, now I have to pay monthly?!

*2026-02-28, version 3.39.1*

What kind of BS is happening here? I’ve used tasty for many years, and now I have to sign up? I lost all my saved meals and whatever I have contributed to this app. So disappointed!

### 1/5 — They keep changing how to log in

*2026-02-22, version 3.39.1*

They keep changing how to log in, losing all of your bookmarked/saved recipes in the process

### 5/5 — Learning to bake

*2026-07-26, version 3.39.4*

I made cookies they turned out so good! This app is helping me learn to bake. It is so fun baking, and learning new things every day! I can’t wait to bake more and, use this app. I love that I got to discover a new talent!

### 5/5 — Phone vs.  Pad

*2026-06-17, version 3.39.4*

### 5/5 — Enjoyed Since 2020

*2026-06-07, version 3.39.4*

I have enjoyed the recipes found on Tasty since 2020. I have a tendency to cook the same foods over and over Tasty has transformed my favorite recipes into new fun meals.

### 5/5 — Videos are the best

*2026-06-07, version 3.39.4*

Love this app so much.  The videos help take the stress out of cooking and make it fun!

### 5/5 — Amazing app!!

*2026-06-05, version 3.39.4*

This app is totally amazing, from the minute I downloaded it I knew it would change my cooking life, and it did, thank you so much buzzfeed for creating an app that can help young cooks cook meals that will get people begging for your app. Thank you again Buzzfeed for making this app
