AllRecipesReviews 229

The website functionality has been dismantled. The recipe box feature gone, the sort on highest tested and rated recipes or reviews gone, list of ingredients and return recipes - gone. No market research from its user base! Shame! Useless now!

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 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 used this site all of the time to get recipes and save them in my collections. This feature will still allow me to save the recipe, but will not allow me to save to a specific collection. In addition, annoying recipe videos and ads play on top of the recipe that I am trying to view. I have yet to figure out how to stop the videos from playing so that I can view the actual recipe. They have really ruined the site and made it practically useless! What a shame! Oh well... on to the next one...

When they changed their format years ago I was frustrated because they took away the "notes" section where you could write your own personal suggestions for your saved recipes. In email correspondence, they said, "rest assured all my notes were still there (even though I couldn't access them)", that they would come back eventually (BS) And I only had to write a review and place my suggestions there and I would always see them. OK, fine I have to come up with all those helpful suggestions again and write reviews, which I started to do. Another issue was all the popup ads constantly rolling wreaked havoc on the computer processing time. However, now I can't even find my saved recipes! When I go to my profile it just says "Loading the Future 36%" but it never changes. I so wish I would have just printed those recipes out when I had access. This was years of my life, saving recipes, now all lost on this worthless website.

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 used to love this site and it was my go to for finding recipes. It had a great search function for recipe ingredients, and it would also show you other similar recipes to what you were looking for. Now site is awful, slow, and not user friendly. In addition lots of ads which are annoying.

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.

Site has steadily gone downhill over the last 2-3 years. Can no longer use the app because categories for saved recipes have been removed, and all recipes are mixed together requiring you to scroll through hundreds of recipes to find what you want. But you can't use the website instead of the app, either, because ads slow it down to the point of unusability and the ability to change the number of servings is no longer available (the buttons for it are still there, but they no longer function). There is no useful "help" content, and trying to contact anyone from the site is a waste of time. There is really no point in using AllRecipes now, which is a shame, because it was once a very good site. You're definitely better off using Food.com.

This was my go-to recipe site, actually replacing my old cookbooks, but no longer. Allrecipes has all but disappeared. What I shame I didn't print out my favorite recipes because now I cannot find anything I saved.
I'm so disappointed to have lost my recipes.

I wanted to learn to make waffles from scratch, while it said adjust servings, it would not let me!

I can find my saved recipes, but I have to scroll through each separate category to find what I'm looking for. Why is there no more search bar for my favorites?! I have hundreds of recipes that I've saved over the past 15+ years there :/ Scrolling through all of them takes forever. And where are my notes I've made on each recipe?

What started as a great site to get recipes and share recipes has gone to pot. Unfortunately, it's a long simmering pot. The good has been cooked out of the site. The ability to modify and save recipes disappeared long ago. The dinner spinner feature never really worked. The final straw was moving all my favorites into various collections with no input from myself. And on top of that, they removed the ability to search my favorite recipes. I've got thousands saved. Trying to figure out where they put it was like trying to find where the grocer thinks that one item you're looking for should be in his store. What makes sense to him, doesn't to you. When I contacted them about that, they said that the current iteration of the site doesn't support search and they MIGHT bring it back, but it wasn't in the immediate plans. A total disregard for their base. If Meredith were a politician, they'd be voted out. Time to move on. I printed all my favorites to PDF files. I can now search for them easily on my PC. Having Adobe DC Pro, I can also edit them. Such a shame that such a great site was left on too long to the point of a serious reduction.

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.

It used to be a great site and you used to be able to sort by most popular. I don't bother with it anymore I find my recipes else where.

That was the best feature along with ability to great collections. Not only were both removed but all of my notes. Am looking for another recipe system.

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!

This was my go to site. All my stored recipes by collections all my notes for little tweaks logged in. Now I find everything gone. No more collections, no more notes. Yes my favorites are there but I have to scroll through all the saved recipes to find. I even had a collection called "to try" now they are all mixed in. Seriously what the hell are you thinking. Does anyone working there actually use the site, do you ask your users what features we like or maybe the changes are so you can fit more ads. So disappointed all the years of saved recipes. You know what maybe that recipe box isn't such a bad thing after all.
