AllRecipes

How would I rate Allrecipes in 2014? I would give them 5 stars! At that time it was basically like a virtual cookbook where you could add recipes to your favorites and even add folders. You could see lots of different recipes posted by different users and I wanted to try them all. A, few years back, they changed all that and now it's basically a cookbook with ablut 150 recipes. There ised to be thousands. You can't see any variation at all. I have found websites that are like the way they used to be and I go there now.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

When I first complained about the new website, Allrecipes had an over 80% positive rating on SiteJabber. A year or so later? It's now below 60%.

And their management think they're onto something better than what they had before. Hah! Try a simple Google search for recipes you have in mind: you've find plenty of links, many with ratings, and you won't have to put up with the Allrecipes attitude which, forgive me, sucks. Big Time.

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.

Like many others, I've frequented this site for many, many years. There were thousands of user-submitted recipes, and tens of thousands of ratings + reviews to guide you. Now, that most critical feature of the website has been rendered useless due to some idiot removing the ability to sort recipes by rating.

I understood when the site started turning into more of an online magazine, although I did not see the use of it. I bristled when they intrusively started "suggesting" where I could buy the ingredients for my recipes nearby, and at what price. But losing the ability to figure out which recipe is best, as crowd-decided by thousands like me? Sorry, but someone should be fired and publicly shamed for stupidity. It's like Burger King decided to stop selling burgers; I only went there for one thing, and now it's gone.
