AllRecipes

Allrecipes is now a garbage site. Can no longer print recipes so smartphones and tablets stay out of the kitchen. Won't work with Echo Show properly either. You ask for pot roast recipes, it gives you one, plus 500 other recipes not even remotely resembling pot roast. So full of ads and other extraneous crap that it is difficult to distinguish what is important and what is not. Sad commentary on what is going on generally these days.

I have been registered on allrecipes.com almost since they started. It used to be super easy to use and find interesting recipes. Now it is terrible. If you are looking for something like a recipe for chicken casseroles, you get mostly links to a series of recipes that is nothing like they used to be. You used to be able to search by recipes that have ingredients that you'd like to include as well as ingredients that you don't want to include. That feature is completely gone. I could browse old allrecipes for hours finding recipes that I'd like to cook. I've recommended the site to many friends but I would never recommend it now. Why did you guys have to "fix" something that wasn't broke?!?!?

I've loved and trusted Allrecipes.com for years. But in the last few months, I can't visit the website on my phone without getting automatically forwarded to a scam "You've been selected for a free iPhone/amazon giftcard/whatever!" website. I downloaded the app, but as you know, it's worthless, so I deleted it.

Opting to use the website solely on my laptop, I've noticed some... strange things happening when I'm on the website. Like my MacBook pro reloads the page, and the fan kicks in. I'm going to repeat that: the Macbook's FAN KICKS IN. What is this website doing to my laptop?! I even got an error message that said the website was using "too much memory." Literally, this has never happened with any other website. I have SO much memory available on my laptop. What is going ON?!

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.

This recipe has some wording that should be clarified in regard to the amount of rice. Instead of 8.8 oz of rice cooked it would be better to say 8.8 oz of COOKED rice. There is a difference. I should have followed my instinct and I wouldn't have ruined my mixture. I have used a lot of your recipes and liked them. I will trust my own cooking experiences in the future. The recipe really sounded good and easy to make was why I tried it I will have to stick with my old way to make cabbage rolls in the future.

I have never been considered a good cook, and I have no imagination of how to add to, or change a recipe, but since using the allrecipes site, I have been learning how to do that. I know some people get annoyed with others who change recipes, but for me it's very helpfull. It gives me ideas as to what to do. My cooking is definetly improving, and I have to thank everyone who has sbubmitted recipes on allrecipes.com. Maybe one day I'll feel brave enough to submit one myself.

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.

I had used this site for a very long time. Now the search feature doesn't even work. It's completely useless now!

After years of entering recipes, writing reviews, blogging, and getting new ideas from this site, someone(s) on the allrecipes.com staff decided they needed to update their website. I'm only guessing they used 20-30 year olds who don't spend a lot of time cooking.

The updated site has the following problems:

Users can't access all the recipes they've entered onto the site.
Emails with a link to a new review of your recipe don't go to the review: they go to the recipe. From there, you have to find the "reviews" section on the page.
When looking for new recipes, users can't sort by recipe ratings.
Users who've posted blogs in the past can't access them.
Blogs are now filtered through their staff and, so far, the one I wrote about the problems I'm having with their new site hasn't been posted.

This used to be an incredibly user friendly site. Now, it's more focused on the look than ease of use and content. A perfect example of turning marketing over to those who haven't got a clue about what it's like to be a cook (or an iPhone user... but that's another story).
