Poor website, cannot retrieve any of my recipes. Gotten worse over time. Use a book or another website
Literally 3/4 of the home page is ads now. Lost all my save recipes. Doesn't even render correctly in chrome. Slow. Absolute shame.
Was very useful and easy to use, now is the terrible! Not user friendly at all anymore. Will not use anymore.
Try 4 respices so far, family and I dislike 3 out of 4.1st was chicken dumettes but turn out very average joe. Then the general tso chicken but we are not a fan of the rice vinegar. Loved the hand pies. Tonight was Mexican stuffed chicken, see pic below. Wasted my money and time. Overseaned and very disappointing. Would NOT recommend Allrecipes.
I have been a allrecipes member for years and now I can't even find recipes I want to try. When I search for a recipe it gives me about a dozen to choose from and then the list turns into completely unrelated recipes that are suggestions for me. I want what I was searching for not smoked salmon or snickerdoodles. I recently lost all of my saved recipes when I went to login I was told my email address had expired and when I tried to enter it I was told they couldn't find it and to contact the admins. It's not worth the hassle anymore. Goodbye Allrecipes. I'll miss what you were, not what you've become.
You would try to save one of your recipes then you would go to your profile to look at it and it wouldn't be there.
What happened to the ADD NOTES feature? I don't see it anymore. Really a big mistake.
NOTE TO USERS- I'm now copying recipes to Notes on my iPad. That way I can adjust and add any notes, and not have to depend on allrecipies site dropping features or going offline. Fyi.
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've been an Allrecipes fan for years, till now. I must agree with many of the other reviewers. These changes were not for the better! My biggest beef is that the new web pages will NOT allow me to save any recipes. For me, that was the main attraction to this website. Now, I have to put anything I want to save on to Pinterest. This makes the recipe box rather pointless. I do hope Allrecipes will look at these reviews and take them seriously. - Lizzy R.
I had contacted this school via email to let them know this program was not working for me. I was charged the first month which It's ok but after I wrote them I was charged two consecutive months, I sent emails and I do not get any response. Called the phone number no answer just have to leave a message.
I made your homemade caramel cake 4 Thanksgiving & it was incredibly sweet but very moist! The icing didn't turn out as I expected it 2 but it was fine as well! I will make it again but next time I won't use the box of vanilla pudding I used & I'll make sure 2 add almond extract 2 my icing 4 a better taste! Thank u r sharing your recipes!
The website is super slow motion it's not even funny. You're being thrown recipes at you that you haven't even searched for. When you want to rate a recipe, it doesn't allow you, at least not today, Nov. 15,2019. As for the recipe quality, they are not great. I still am waiting to be wowed by a recipe on this website.
I've gotten many good recipes from this site but I think that the rating system is ridiculous. I don't think there's a single recipe that people who give it 5 stars haven't tinkered with, sometimes in very substantial ways. How you could take a recipe, change it fundamentally, and then give it a five star is beyond me. What's the point?
I have gotten several good recipes from this site but for the past few months the website has not functioned properly. It skips around and won't stay on a page. One could get nauseated if you watched it for too long. Too bad, it was good.at one time.
I wanted a recipe for a quiche and this site came up. I entered my email address to go with the program and get the recipe email to me. Shortly there after I have been Bombarded with emails that look like they are come from my email address to me. Now they have jacked up an email address that has long been clean. DONT GIVE THEM YOUR EMAIL ADDEESS. Scammers
It used to be so easy to find a recipe on here. Especially through the ingredient search. I used to love this because I'd have various items that I'd need to make into a dish and the ingredient search WAS excellent. Now when I try to do an ingredient search the page pulls up about 5 actual recipes that pertain to what I'm searching. The rest is ads and how to do this or that - totally unrelated to what I'm searching. I HATE IT. It's too bad. This used to be such a great website - Booooo!
Tried to print a tater tot casserole recipe on two different laptops and it doesn't work. Just trying to write the review here, the damn spell checker starts to correct and comes up with the stupid "block" window which doesn't behave like any other spell checker I've ever used and reverts the "corrected" text back to the start of what you are typing. I'm done - will block this site in my hosts file. You people need to snip your programmers so they don't pass their genes on. One star, but only because it wouldn't allow ZERO!
People very often, that's to say almost always, rate recipes according to changes that they made to the recipe. This is infuriating. If you see a recipe with 5 stars you'd think it is awesome. Then you read all the reviews and see that people really gave their variation of the recipe 5 stars. Not cool people.
There is no way to cancel the Pro membership service. There is no phone number for the website only an email. If you call the 1-800 number, you get some foreign country and they only know about the magazine. I paid for the Pro upgrade renewal but not getting the added benefits. As I try to find where my card information is located (it too is well hidden) - there is no way to cancel the automatic renewal. BEWARE
I used to LOVE this site. I used it all the time. I hate it now and have just about given up on it. I have found I am searching for recipes anywhere other than her now. The site is so slow. The little Apple wheel just spins and spins. This does not happen on any other site I use. I loved you once allreipes but I am breaking up with you. Goodbye.
