Used to be a good site. But now if you make your diet preference vegetarian, it's happy to show you beef chicken fish pork turkey and shrimp. You have to make it vegan to filter out meat. And then you can't see eggs and dairy which is inconvenient if you don't mind using that.
I got a meat thermometer for my son for Christmas. It arrived and did not work. It would not turn on/charge. The only way to get in touch with Customer Service is through email. Prior to reaching out to them, we researched and found YouTube video for troubleshooting. Tried all steps in video and still did not power on. Reached out to Customer Service and after a few days of back and forth, they said they would send a new thermometer. That was three weeks ago and nothing has arrived. I have tried emailing for status and now they are not responding. Soooo frustrating!
This is the antithesis of a good recipe site. You must have a smart phone to get the instructions. Too many WOKE websites are inconsiderate of other people, particularly the elderly, who are still citizens that are interested to participate in the world but they cannot because of self-centered liberal people who don't consider them. They are largely left out and ignored. I'm not elderly but I prefer using a desktop to view and get instructions and information. You can't do this on Yummly. It's people like this who have ruined our society from narcissism and failed beliefs.
I have only used this product 4 times, with in 6 months.each time I had to replace the batteries. After replacing the batteries you have to wait 30 minutes.
Save your money and buy an old fashioned thermometer.
The site used to be a go to for random recipes and ideas, now its crap if you want to view any of the top recipes you have to sign up and pay a subscription fee this is total crap. I don't want videos just the recipes and directions. Go back to the way it used to be>
I signed up for a free trial and I really regret doing so. Not only am I not able to cancel, the app won't let me delete my account because I have an active subscription! Also, the recipes were entirely unimpressive. Save yourself the hassle and do not mess with this garbage site.
I often look at and print new recipes to make. Every time I use the Yummly site I am frustrated by how difficult and not user friendly it is. You actually cannot print a recipe.
The "help" guide says to send the recipe to yourself and print from there?
Please check out how well other websites are set up and learn.
Duck Duck Go gave me a notification that yummly tried to steal information during set up when I opened the yummly sign in link in my gmail. This attempt was blocked, and I was able to complete the yummly account set up by opening the yummly sign in link through copying and pasting the sign in address in a new tab. There is no data tied to my gmail account that yummly is entitled to access, especially since they do not have permission to view my credit card data or personal address, and yummly did not request access. That's theft. Breaking into my mailbox and opening my mail is a crime, as is opening my wallet or entering my home without permission. Yummly isn't entitled to breaking into my web accounts.
I like to look up recipes online. Yummly has monopolized the search hits with recipes. Most of the links for directions don't work. It's very frustrating to get a recipe without instructions. Yummly please fix your links.
As a paying member you would think that you would have an easier search with the entire recipe available. This happens constantly, very frustrating experience on this site.Not worth the price.
It's not even possible to build a site that makes you jump thru more hoops to get to a simple recipe. AND it replaced my homepage WITHOUT permission! Just clicked on a recipe and tah-dah... new home page! Not cool.
I never write bad reviews... but I have had it with the click bait from yummly.com. You search for something and up pops yummly. "10 Best Recipes for X". Then you click on it. Then it asks you to answer 10 minutes worth of BS questions that have nothing to do with what you search for... first few times I played along thinking I must be doing something wrong. Why am I being asked about if I want beef in my recipe when I specifically clicked on 10 Best Ground Turkey Recipes? Hmmm... Then they start asking for personal information, emails, etc. Jeez... this site is a WASTE of TIME! There are all sorts of great individual websites and companies out there with clean, easy interfaces. Sometimes the ads get a little intrusive with some but hey, at least they provide me a good service and information so I'll deal with it. Yummly.com... NO Thank you. Waste.
I signed up for yummly and instantly started getting hundreds of spam emails every day. They obviously sold my email. What a bunch of pukes.
I will no longer use yummly. The look and feel is terrible and the Ad's, omg! They need to fix all the advertisements which split up the recipes. Are you a recipe site or an advertisement company? I'll stick with all recipes thank you.
I found a couple recipes I was interested in, but was unable to see the whole thing as there was ads blocking portions of the recipe ingredients.
No other site puts up so many obstacles to getting to the actual recipes they promise... Then on top of that, they spam you with emails every day forever after (until you consign them to the Spam box). One big UGH to them! So thoroughly not worth the hassle, especially when there are so many great recipe sites out there!
While I like the recipes viewed in Yummly, when trying to download the app on my iPhone and then iPad it continuously required me to sign in and then check my email, rinse, repeat. It also didn't synchronise on my iPad and iPhone as all other apps do. I even signed in on the website thinking that might help; no it did not as it made me have to sign in again, check my email again, and so on. Bizarrely complicated so I've deleted all apps
If you google and yummly is in the results. Don't bother following the link. It won't have what you are looking for.
There's a lot of great recipes here. But if you want to get to the action of how to make them fast forget it. You're going to get a long preamble of the how, the why, the when, the taste, the on and on. Then when you hit the one you want images are intruding, specifics are somewhere else and you just can't get there fast.
Great recipe. Overloaded presentations.
You could NOT make it more DIFFICULT to view recipes if you tried. Wish I could give you a negative star - your website isn't worth any.
