Besides my own personal history gone I can't even find what I'm looking for. Chef John baked ziti. Gone! No, I can go to YouTube find the video scroll for the all recipes link and get sent back to AR to find the recipe. Dumb. Doable but dumb.
I used and LOVED the app for years! I had all my favorite recipes saved and I went back to it often to be inspired and find new things. Since we were all forced to this website now, I've lost all of my saved recipes and it's difficult to use the recipes. I like to look at the list of ingredients read thru the reviews, etc. Now each recipe reads like an article. I don't want to read all the dribble just to figure out if I want to make the recipe and if I have the ingredients on hand. You have taken one of the best apps there was (and one I told lots of my friends about) and turned it into something I rarely use. Please bring back the app!
I found two recipes that I followed on all recipes.com to yield results inconsistent with those advertised to be expected. It seemed as if they were just dreamt up, and published without any practical application. I then tried to submit a comment, and was advised that the email address does not exist.

Just the website
This site provided the most useful search for recipes by ingredients of any out there. Putting in what you had on hand and what you would not want to include led to fantastic novel suggestions and many new discoveries. Now the site is completely dumbed down and I guess is meant to be used to click through thousands of recipes. Much rather use a cookbook for that. Completely unclear why they messed up the site so bad. I am looking forward to a competitor simply implementing their old model.
Our extended family started using Allrecipes over a decade ago, primarily to store and share recipes between family members. We entered hundreds of recipes. All of our recipes were lost and Allrecipes has not been helpful in helping us locate where they went. Tech support has been vague and unhelpful. Do not trust. Allrecipes 10-15 years ago was 1000% better than it is now.
I had used this site for a very long time. Now the search feature doesn't even work. It's completely useless now!
Tip for consumers:
Other apps who were way behind this one have gotten a big break from the creators of this disaster!

When will your technical issue be resolved? I have not been able to access my recipes since Nov. 2022.
Tip for consumers:
Do not use

I will have you recreate my recipes from scratch.
Everyone liked the conveince of the app! It's a hassle to go to the search bar when you could just open the app already logged into. Why the change. Who thought this was a bright idea. Not good, Not convenient, Not easy to use!
Tip for consumers:
Bring the App back

Was using the app
Yeah, this used to be a good site. Like other reviewers, one can no longer search for a recipe. I don't know what happened but I noticed a lot of changes—not for the better—over the past couple of years. And now today it's the worst it's ever been. If their goal is to stop folks from using their site, well it's working. Seems like the quality of businesses has gone downhill especially ever since COVID came around—not saying that I blame COVID— but a lot of businesses have blamed their lack of quality on it.
I really don't get what has happened to this website over the past two years or so. It's slowly become less and less functional, and their most recent update is just terrible. I'm going to find a different recipe site now because AllRecipes is such a mess. Now all of your saved recipes are in one category (which doesn't really make sense), and you can't choose how to sort them. I haven't been able to save recipes as "I Made This" for like a year, and none of my reviews have saved since then. They must be intentionally running this site into the ground.
Tip for consumers:
They don't respond to any customer service emails, so don't bother
Allrecipes used to be my GO TO site for new meals and favorite recipes. The changes are filled with adds which makes it almost unreadable on my phone. When I switch to my computer, I find similar difficulties. The recipes are not longer simple to follow. I feel like I am reading a blog. I am so sad. Allrecipes will no longer be my "go-to" site. :(
This was my go-to site when cooking. The recipes are excellent! I have been a member for a long time and have watched the site deteriorate over the years.
I have complained to their CS dept., filled out their surveys, and yet they don't care. I have even taken to writing their advertisers asking why they waste their money on such a crappy site.
I now just google what I want to make or go to Food.com. All Recipes should be ashamed of their lousy site.
I love this site but it isn't perfect. The quantity of recipes is awesome but the site is glitchy, it's overrun with advertisements, and the search feature rarely works as it should. It used to be so much better. If you do manage to get the recipe you're after you have to fight to try to be able to print it without advertisements on top of your directions or ingredients. It's frustrating and annoying. If they'd clean up the website and work on the search feature it could be a five star website for sure.
I used to go to this site for a majority of recipes. Something has changed. I couldn't even get on site. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Signed up years ago and have my email and password saved. When I tried to log in, it said it didn't recognize my email address. For years I only had 1 email address so I know I sign in with my "go to" address, but said it was"not found". Lost all of my saved recipes. Site has great recipes, but the new design is awful
Since they took away the search for recipe by ingredient feature I will be switching to SuperCook as they still have that function. It's a little fiddly but I can type a single ingredient (like ground pork) & see everything that uses that.
I used to love this site and it was my go to for finding recipes. It had a great search function for recipe ingredients, and it would also show you other similar recipes to what you were looking for. Now site is awful, slow, and not user friendly. In addition lots of ads which are annoying.
This was a great site and it also had several international sites including a really good Australian and New Zealand version. That's now gone and all my bookmarks just redirect to the home page of the main site. On their Australian and New Zealand cuisine page they say they have more than 570 Aus & NZ recipes but I can't find many at all. Functionality of the site has also been drastically reduced. It's much harder to find what I want now. When they give weights of ingredients they don't give the metric value, although they do at least give temperatures in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. There are also a lot of ads and I wouldn't mind that too much except for the one across the top that reduces the amount of useful screen space.
WHY Would you change something that was so great?!?!?! This is so annoying...I've been using All Recipes for over 20 years and the App has always been way better than the website! NOW they decided to get rid of the App which has over 20 years of saved recipes. For some reason, the website has always been bad because you cannot sort and filter by Popularity, most reviews, etc...The app was really cool!
Are you trying to completely sink your company?! I guess I'll have to try the "Tasty" app. I hate when companies do this crap...They get some hot shot in there to try and Change everything when essential they ruin the entire company platform just like Budlight.
Allrecipes.com used to be my favorite site for meal planning & recipes. I loved the search function - if I wanted to try something new with, say, raspberries & lemons, I could search. I saved hundreds of recipes along with my personal notes. Whoever 'updated' the site took out all the functionality (including my notes), and I can't even easily find, say, the lasagna recipes I saved over the years without scrolling through the hundreds of recipes I've saved. I've sent in my questions/issues/recommendations to corporate to no avail. Now, if on occasion, I try to use the site again, just puts me in an extremely bad mood. I should have gone old-school and printed the recipes when I had the chance.
What does celebrating black women have to do with cooking chicken? Help build societal change by taking color out of the equation. Choosing leaders for the future should be based on merit, not on color.
Chicken was delicious!
I used to love AllRecipes. All of my family's favourite meals I found on this site. It is still okay on the iPhone, however, the desktop version is awful. The ad at the top takes up 75% of the screen and it does not go away unless you are looking at your account information. You can not see anything of value on the site. It is virtually impossible to now look for new recipes. I will have to look elsewhere for good meals. Such a shame.
It seems those making design decisions failed to research their market and users before redesigning. This used to be my go to holiday planning site. I could see previous year menus, shopping list and recipes. I haven't used it for 3-4 years because I can't find my menus and the shopping lists are portioned based on those menus so I have no idea how much to purchase. Super fail! So sad. I have over ten years of family dinner history stored hoping that someday, someone will catch on and fix it.
I can find my saved recipes, but I have to scroll through each separate category to find what I'm looking for. Why is there no more search bar for my favorites?! I have hundreds of recipes that I've saved over the past 15+ years there :/ Scrolling through all of them takes forever. And where are my notes I've made on each recipe?
Tip for consumers:
Look for a different site before you save all your recipes here only to not be able to find them.
I used this site all of the time to get recipes and save them in my collections. This feature will still allow me to save the recipe, but will not allow me to save to a specific collection. In addition, annoying recipe videos and ads play on top of the recipe that I am trying to view. I have yet to figure out how to stop the videos from playing so that I can view the actual recipe. They have really ruined the site and made it practically useless! What a shame! Oh well... on to the next one...
No longer live feed. Have to type in your title as my all recipies app no longer works. It's harder to work the app. You should have left it the way it was.
Im not even that into cooking. Before allrecipes, everything I cooked was off the betty crocker website. Thats right. Betty Crocker. When I discovered allrecipes years ago i was an instant fan. All these people across the US sharing recipes in a giant database- people like me who actually made the recipe could rate and suggest improvements. I learned so much from you all. You could search by ingredients, ratings, recipes. I had favorite contributors. Now, i go to search for a recipe and the results are just articles about recipes from someone who *clearly has not made a single one of these recipes*. Then Ive got to sift through these articles to find a recipe i have the ingredients to make for dinner in an hour? Pfft, ill just google it. Google isnt as efficient as the old allrecipes, but it blows new allrecipes away. I am just so very disappointed.
