My AllRecipes app hasn’t been working. So I went to the website, logged in, and EVERYTHING is gone…years of stuff…gone! I remembered seeing the listing for this “magazine” app when searching the App Store only to find that this is just the magazine. If I can’t rely upon you for the recipes and my collections, notes, and modifications, then why would I want your magazine?!…as I tease? Sorry, but I try to avoid torturing myself. I don’t know what thought process went into this decision…maybe something new is on the horizon…but I hope that next time you’ll consider: “Bigger” is NOT always “better”; “Older” is NOT necessarily “outdated”; “New” is often a further cry from “improved” than we’ll usually admit to ourselves; And anything that amounts to “reinventing the wheel” just might be the equivalent of doing twice the work, receiving half the reward, and for a level of quality that usually spends more time being considered mediocre before it has even the slightest chance of providing any real return value…just look at how many “new features” Facebook will proudly implement then quietly remove all because they’ve made a point of justifying their existence through “fixing” things that aren’t “broke”…just in need of a tuneup.

The Allrecipes app was my go to app for finding recipes. It was very functional, easy to find new and familiar recipes and had a clear and easy to navigate menu. I had used the app since it’s inception and without warning to their loyal customers the app stops functioning so I delete it thinking there was an issue. There was an issue alright, the app doesn’t exist on the App Store and instead has been usurped by this abomination. I absolutely will not subscribe to the magazine for a handful of recipes each month I may or may not like. I appreciated the ability of the app to sort recipes by popularity, which you cannot do on the website. The website is clunky and difficult to navigate on the phone so I guess it’s time to find a new “go to.” Very frustrating, I’m sure I speak for many of the thousand of users y’all screwed when I say I would have liked at the minimum a little warning so I had time to save my favorite recipes and I would have gladly started paying a small fee to continue using the Allrecipes app if money was an issue. Really poor decision making whoever in your organization thought this was a good idea.

Wow, just wow! The new venture you have decided to embark on sure wasn’t the right one and I’m sure I can speak for everyone who used the AR Dinner Spinner app when I say that I’m beyond disappointed. In total, we’ve probably all had about 10,000 years worth of recipes saved in our favorites. All of which had made us heroes in the kitchen. Nearly all my dishes made from the AR app were complimented by an angelic choir singing in harmony when presented to my wife, kids, aunties, uncles etc…. I WAS A MASTER CHEF IN THEIR EYES!!! Now I cook ramen from the package. Not homemade. My sweet and sour pork II is no longer a click away and I’m forced to buy pre packaged garbage from Sams. This is a travesty. My heart goes out to all who are going through the same demise as I. It was good while it lasted and I can guarantee you that there will never be another app quite like it. It really is a shame. Spare me the automatic response apology everyone has gotten on here. I don’t want to hear it. You’re dead to me…..unless you bring back the APP we all really want. Not this magazine garbage you’re trying to pawn off as the latest and greatest. Trust me, nobody cares.

I have been using Allrecipes app since 2011, I am subscribed to the magazine, but in no way shape or form does the magazine substitute the recipes I have collected over the past years. It is a small snipped to what the app had. I am truly disappointed. Also my subscription comes in a plastic cover with my info on it, not printed on the actual magazine cover. So I cant even log in to see anything. My app stopped working completely wouldn't spin wouldn't do anything but allow me to open it and stare at it in frustration. So I DLed this joke of an app, if I have the magazines, why do I need a digital copy of them? Either way, I do not want the magazine recipes, You have done a disservice to your loyal customers and I will be canceling my subscription for this. Also your generic response to everyone is a joke and is honestly the reason I am leaving a review at all. If you guys were at least trying to help people I would have let it be but Allrecipes seems to not even care. I would've paid to keep my app not to be bothered with this mess.
