AllRecipes

I used to love the AllRecipes site and have been a member for at least 18 years. Prior to March 2017 there were no advertisements when one did a search for a recipe. Today on my search page I found SEVEN ads with no ability to close them. Every search is between 3-7 ads. Additionally, there is no point in doing the ingredient search because the search gives you what AllRecipes wants you to see and those recipes are laden with name brand products!. After one phone call and talking to a brick wall who clearly did not like her job I decide to warn others.

I predict that Meredith is on the money train and the next step will be offering paid memberships that will bring us back to what the site was prior to the changes. Ie no ads and correct search credentials.

Meredith - if you troll sites for ratings FIX THE ISSUES...

All Recipes was my favorite and most used recipe website until now. Searching for recipes was better than any other website. That is no longer the case. When I search it looks like Pinterest instead of arranged evenly on the page like it was in the old format. Plus the search results are so poor. Items totally different than what I am searching for pull up and good matches to the search are several screens back. I can no longer print personal notes with my recipes. Since all cooks alter recipes, it seems like this would be a huge feature for everyone. I am glad I can still add my personal notes but these are only available on the webpage. For my favorite recipes I like to keep them printed out with my personal notes - just in case the recipe is removed from the site. Now I print them and have to hand write my personal notes on them. I am so disappointed with the new format and I now Google for recipes or use Pintrest instead of AllRecipes.

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. :(

I learned quite some time ago not to trust the integrity of Allrecipes.com. And yet, its a great site. Just unreliable. To use it successfully I keep an excel spreadsheet of every recipe in my Saved Items and Collections. I keep my excel spreadsheet and my Saved Items and Collections on Allrecipes in sync at all times. This weekend is a perfect example of why. I have tried multiple times on Edge, Chrome, and Safari, and my Saved Items and Collections will not load. It I didn't have my control sheet I would not have access to my favorite recipes. My Favorites works on the ios App, so I know the information is still there, but once again the Allrecipes site is broken this weekend. No doubt they'll get around to fixing it at some point.

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!

As the title says, it's a great place for recipes. But what good is that if you can't navigate their terrible website? They recently reformatted the site, and went from bad to much worse. Check it out yourself, you'll see. Ughh. Get it together, webmaster!

Allrecipes once was my favorite site for searching recipes. That was... until they got rid of the ability to sort by rating. I only searched for the highest rated recipes... why would I waste time making a dish only rated one star? Thankfully I saved many of these favorites. I even emailed them directly and received an obligatory response stating that they would pass my remarks/suggestions on to their technical team. Newsflash... your new Allrecipe format sucks! You are losing faithful, longtime users Now I just google or go to the Pioneer Wonan site... my Allrecipes replacement. HORRIBLE decision Allrecipes, and SHAME ON YOU for not listening to your users!

Used to love this site, no it's a pile of crap. It so hard to operate now. They're using recipes people uploaded onto it to make a profit. Not even their own. I'll never go back on. It was so frustrating.

I've been using Allrecipes site for years. I've reviewed many recipes. I have quite a collection that I have saved. For at least a month I have been unable to access my collection nor am I able to write any reviews. I get a red X when I try to rate and review a recipe. I contacted customer service a few weeks ago and they assured me they were working on it. Blah blah blah. I am so frustrated with what you've done Allrecipes. All I can say is thanks a lot!
