AllRecipes

I used to love this website and use it all the time but now it is slower than molasses in January!
I realize that we are visual creatures and photos help sell the recipes but ever since you changed your website everything is so freaking slow! Why can't we have the option to filter out the videos? I don't understand why it takes sooo long to load?! It makes no difference if it is on my computer or a smart phone.

It's just SLOW!

This site is supposed to make cooking easier as well as fun but if you have to wait for each and every page to load it is just USELESS!

Please fix it! I miss being able to look through my recipes and add reviews!

Yeah, this used to be a good site. Like other reviewers, one can no longer search for a recipe. I don't know what happened but I noticed a lot of changes—not for the better—over the past couple of years. And now today it's the worst it's ever been. If their goal is to stop folks from using their site, well it's working. Seems like the quality of businesses has gone downhill especially ever since COVID came around—not saying that I blame COVID— but a lot of businesses have blamed their lack of quality on it.

All recipes was always very slow, often down. When they revamped it they removed several helpful features. Now they removed any saved recipes without warning. I would have printed them or saved similar on a reliable site. Use another site.

I just received my first magazine and had to turn 13 pages before I found a recipe. There are also ads among the recipes throughout the magazine. It's not worth the deal I got for a subscription. I'm aware that ads are a must, but this is beyond ridiculous!

My 35 yr old son turned me on to this site, he's just beginning to cook and finds it easier to follow than a cookbook. He finds it easy to cook 1 meal for himself without too many leftovers. Kudos for intelligent planning of information and ease of reading

This site has completely changed the way you search for recipes. By getting rid of the "search by popularity or rating" feature, it lists the recipes in completely random order! Now when I look for chicken recipes, I have to look through 6000 recipes to find the best one? Um, no. As a busy working mom, I have no time for this. I'll be using another site until this is fixed.

I used to use allrecipes.com constantly, but now it is completely useless. I can't sort, half the time when I search for something, irrelevant "categories" show up, did I mention I can't sort? It's terrible! Just awful!

PLEASE bring back the old site.

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.

I used to read Allrecipes for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. Going to a family gathering and decided to bring a stuffed mushroom appetizer and an Amazon ad popped up asking if I wanted a $1000. It's program to make you answer and fill out a form with your personal info. I don't like being force to fill out a form and answer questions. I will go to YouTube, Foodnetwork or any of the online food blogs. What a waste since I loved this site for years. Money and greed can ruin a good thing especially if you don't listen to your customers.

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!

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?

The website has great recipes. But navigating and saving your personal recipes is a mess. They did a major change of the website a couple years ago. Now I frequent it less because it is so frustrating. They are trying to be like Pintrest with the "giant" photos. It's hard to navigate because these photos take up so much of the screen.

Allrecipes is like sitejabber but for recipes with all of the user reviews and you can really tell which recipes are the ones that most people like. This is very useful when you are trying to find new recipes for guests where you don't exactly know their tastes.

A! Ll recipes you blew it. If i wanted to search for recipes in your new format i would go on pinterest. The beauty of your site was being able to QUICKLY find and sort recipes. I spent several minutes just trying to find a way to format and sort. Also loathe the sell out of all the ads in between the recipes. JUST. LIKE. Pinterest. Such a shame. You were my go to. Guess it's google searches for me

This was a great site and it also had several international sites including a really good Australian and New Zealand version. That's now gone and all my bookmarks just redirect to the home page of the main site. On their Australian and New Zealand cuisine page they say they have more than 570 Aus & NZ recipes but I can't find many at all. Functionality of the site has also been drastically reduced. It's much harder to find what I want now. When they give weights of ingredients they don't give the metric value, although they do at least give temperatures in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. There are also a lot of ads and I wouldn't mind that too much except for the one across the top that reduces the amount of useful screen space.

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 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.

Please, please, please bring back the old format for this website! It worked sooooooo much better than this new one. Change is not always a good thing; sometimes it's better to just leave well enough alone.

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. :(

What is up with this site? I used to sign on every day to find new and exciting recipes. Today I click on a quick pasta recipe and it's made with RAGU? Are you kidding? Many of the new recipes you highlight have things in them I have avoided for years. I assume you are doing this for advertising. So disappointing.

If I actually notice that a site is slow, then it's *really* slow. Not only that, but Allrecipes is absolutely unusable on any of my mobile devices. It will hang up on my 'phone every time to the point that if the site comes up in a search, I don't bother with it, this is with different browsers and a fairly recent model phone. Not much better on my tablet.
