Love this site. Especially benefit from others' comments on posted recipes. Videos are incredible as a learning tool. Ingredient lookup function is priceless when you have leftovers and want to combine them/use them up. Very few sites that I'm faithful to and this is one!
I found two recipes that I followed on all recipes.com to yield results inconsistent with those advertised to be expected. It seemed as if they were just dreamt up, and published without any practical application. I then tried to submit a comment, and was advised that the email address does not exist.
Allrecipes has really messed up. Anyone ever try to sort recipes? Since '[categories' were added, I have been fighting with the system to find stuff. These folks cannot even alphabetize the categories not less the recipes within. Each time I try to search with the same criteria I come up with items not in the original sort, out of order (not alphabetic when specified by title), or not relevant to specific search item. Example: Chicken Soup yields Chicken Stroganoff. Go figure. I hate this site now.
Sent email to customer support - get the same nonsense back about javascript and cookies. I wonder who on earth is doing the programming? Something as simple as sorting is beyond the staff. Cannot sort the collection names created when you save a recipe - they are displayed exactly in the order created - last created, first on list. Cannot sort within a category. And my biggest pet peeve is not being able to find recipes saved prior to when they added collections. Printing with changes is a problem.
They need to drop trying to be a social network site and return to what worked. The pretty pictures just clutter my screen. A thumbnail in a list would be perfect. This site is SLOW. It is poorly designed using outdated technology.
I repeat: I HATE THIS SITE NOW!
I wanted a recipe for a quiche and this site came up. I entered my email address to go with the program and get the recipe email to me. Shortly there after I have been Bombarded with emails that look like they are come from my email address to me. Now they have jacked up an email address that has long been clean. DONT GIVE THEM YOUR EMAIL ADDEESS. Scammers
What happened? It was always my go-to when my cookbooks failed me. It was SO easy. Now, pages won't load completely & search results when they do load aren't accurate. It was great while it lasted.
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.
Its quite ok, I use it on my phone to check on the recipe and to make sure I'm doing everything properly, I don't have a printer and don't want to hoard a bunch of papers.
Caesar Salad should not have anchovies! The dressing uses Worchestershire Sauce and one of the main ingredients is this sauce is anchovies. The original Cardini Caesar Salad had no anchovies.
I had used this site for a very long time. Now the search feature doesn't even work. It's completely useless now!
Tip for consumers:
Other apps who were way behind this one have gotten a big break from the creators of this disaster!

Given the difficulty in getting recipes to load and the irritating ads that pop up everywhere I will be leaving this sight for other options!
Your update sucks looking for something else, lost everything had to go back under my wife's account because someone else was on mine.
I love this site. I enjoy good food and have yet to try a recipe from here that doesn't deliver. Thank you Allrecipes!
I've all but stopped using it since they changed the site a year or more ago. Every time I try to use it I think my blood pressure rises!
I'm so mad and frustrated, I could scream! I had major surgery on my foot and in a cast so thought it would be a good time to finally sort all those recipes I have been saving and wanting to input into a good program or site. I wanted to be able to share my recipes with my daughter or friends and customer service instructed me how to do it. It started out great about a week and a half ago, put in several recipes I've had for years, and thought it would be great to be able to edit them, etc. Can't delete them though because they said too many people were deleting the wrong ones. Don't understand this, they should be able to delete anything that they created, not anyone else's, of course. After two days of putting in my recipes, something happened and I cannot input a new recipe nor can I go to the existing ones and edit them. I put one in, as per instructions from their rep, very basic, like one ingredient, to just experiment with the site. Now it's there, totally worthless, and I cannot edit it to add to it and I certainly can't delete it! I've contacted, via email, "customer relations" 4 times over the last 1 1/2 weeks, and all they do is send another automated message instructing me to check my computer and see if javascript and cookies, etc, are enabled. They were and are. It's NOT my computer! It's their website! One "customer service" rep told me that the IT people, the so called maintenance people, meet ONCE a week, to discuss issues. Well, apparently, there is a HUGE issue and no one seems to be doing anything about it. Apparently they don't care or are unqualified to do anything about it. You choose. I really liked AllRecipes.com and have printed off a few really good recipes. But don't even try to put your own in there. You'll have nothing but grief! Now, I have to completely start over from the beginning.
Tip for consumers:
If you find a recipe you like, go ahead and print it out or follow it on your ipad. But, save yourself much aggravation and do not try to use the "personal recipes" tab to try to put in one of your own recipes. It will get lost in the "twilight zone" as if you never did it. You'll waste a lot of time.
Title says it all, that was one of the core functions of all recipes; if i want to see jumbled up posts, i'll visit pinterest, thanks
Poor website, cannot retrieve any of my recipes. Gotten worse over time. Use a book or another website
Love this site. Has a good search engine, and they are opening it up more to where free memberships get more options on the site.
This was the best site ever for recipes. You could sort your recipes to find great options. Now it is impossible to use. Sad!
Not long ago I was able to pull up any type of recipe I wanted in peace. Not anymore with all the sidebar ads YUCK! I was not able to use the ADJUST feature and WHAT? No reviews? WHY?
Sweet & Sour Chilli & Tomatoe Chutney. Tony Arnold.
Could not find on website how to review his recipe.
Used to be fun but not anymore after update some time ago. MAybe time for an update again seeing the bad reviews lately
When will your technical issue be resolved? I have not been able to access my recipes since Nov. 2022.
Tip for consumers:

I will have you recreate my recipes from scratch.
It used to be an amazing site for finding recipes based on specific ingredients. I won't be using this site again.
Over 50% of the page is adds. I like to copy recipes, for my own use, For most sites I use onenote but allrecipes website block this some how.
One of the top recipe sites online! Always check out the reviews as there are excellent tips from people that have tried out the recipes.
Please stop putting the spoon stirring in all of your recipes. It is very annoying! I find myself not wanting to look at your recipes because of it!
Would love to make some of the recipes, but when you can't load the page on any device (we have a Dell and a Mac and an iPad and a Samsung Galaxy and an iPhone) then it isn't much use, is it?
