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?
I agree with other reviewers in that the update sucks, but my biggest complaint is that they took out the facility to make my own personal notes on recipes for my own use "use less salt", "add more cumin", etc. Also, this isn't unique to AllRecipes, but if you read 90% of the reviews for any particular dish, it is AFTER the recipe has been 'tweaked'. Ideally, if I see five stars for a particular recipe, that 'should' mean that most people made it as directed, and it is awesome as written, or if there are less stars, it isn't so good made as written. But that's not the case. People grab the recipe, and in their review, they note "I used half the cream...", "I added celery"..."I cooked at 350 degrees and not 425 degrees"..."I used peas instead of carrots"... on and on. The whole purpose of my looking at the rating system is so I can I can make a 5 star dish and get 5 star results, but when everyone is modifying the recipe before they make it, and THEN give it five stars... what good is that to me? I have to read 20 reviews and 'study' the changes to see how it 'might' come out 5 stars for me? People are so dense... they need to make the recipe as written, then rate it, then make it to suit their tastes. I would have no problem if I read a 3 star review with a comment like "This recipe was too spicy for my family, so I gave it 3 stars, so I made it again with half the chili, and more garlic (WHATEVER), and now my family loves it". Like I said, when people don't rate the recipe as printed, their rating is useless, making the whole rating system inaccurate and nonsensical. Would be nice if AllRecipes would have a checkbox in the review "I made this recipe exactly as written"... so then I could hit a checkbox "Show me the reviews where the recipe was made as written"... and then I could decide whether to make it or note. Because Doris in Minnesota cut the rosemary in half and added twice the paprika and gave a five star review... that's stupid... I don't go to AllRecipes to read Doris' tweak on a recipe.
Can't read reviews, can't even read my notes I made on the recipes in my Recipe Box. Recommended to many previously.
Was very useful and easy to use, now is the terrible! Not user friendly at all anymore. Will not use anymore.
I find this site to be a really great way to get fun new idea's to try making for dinner! I love the site and the app
I used to love this site, I used it all the time. I don't know what they have done but now it is terrible. Crashes all the time and is full of adds.
I used to love using this website, but now because you cannot search by ratings I go to other websites. Sad because this was the place to go!
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.
Literally 3/4 of the home page is ads now. Lost all my save recipes. Doesn't even render correctly in chrome. Slow. Absolute shame.
Littered with ads that pull you from what you're trying to read. Essentially useless. A giant waste of time.
You can't even sort by Rating anymore. Who made that genius decision, morons. The site is a pintrest wannabe now, and it's honestly very annoying.
On the old website, I could dsearch by keyword or ingredient, then sort by rating! Please bring back the old way of sorting!
You would try to save one of your recipes then you would go to your profile to look at it and it wouldn't be there.
I love AllRecipes.com it is so great to find new ideas of what to cook!
I wanted to learn to make waffles from scratch, while it said adjust servings, it would not let me!
OMG I'm in love with this site. That's all I'm going to say!
I have used it several times and I like it. There are some great recipes on it.
This site is good! They have different good recipes.
All recipes have the best recipes and tips. Receiving them is therapeutic. Site won't openrecently
