I have loved and been using Epicurious for YEARS — long enough to have saved and organized over 1,000 recipes, including many unique to me (and not saved anywhere else). Two days ago I opened it up … only to find a “site redesign” had completely stripped out the old Recipe Box. Gone were all the categories I had created and filed my recipes under; gone were all my notes about tweaks to the given recipe, etc. There isn’t even a search function anymore! The only thing left is a single column of my saved recipes, with a simple “Load more” button at the bottom. These changes have essentially made my Recipe Box utterly USELESS. (If I want to find a recipe I saved 5 years ago, how many pages will I have to load just to find it? 200? 300?) Perhaps the worst part about this wipeout of all my old data was that Epicurious gave me ZERO warning it was going to happen. Nada, zip, zilch. I am now rethinking my entire relationship to this company and will also start letting every other cooking outlet and cooking friend know about their crappy behavior. Shame on them.

The Epicurious App has not been stable or worked for me in probably a few years. Every so many months I check to see if there’s a new release, download it, get my hopes up, launch... and crash. I don’t think I’ve kept the app on my phone longer than 20 mins in the past few years. No idea what all the enhancement releases are for if the underlying stability is bogus. Definitely not the only reviewer with these issues. Just wish they’d either go back MANY releases or start from the ground up and rewrite the whole thing. I really really really miss this app. And the website has become such garbage with all the ads I find I need an adblocker to keep my sanity. Such a bummer. I’ll keep checking and i’ll keep strong disappointed. But maybe ONE day I can use this again. Updated a very long time later. Just updated to a new iphone 12 and was so excited to try the epicurious app again and see if it would work finally. NOPE. Serious garbage. Crash crash crash crash crash.

I have been using epicurious for years. The recipes are amazing. Unfortunately the app is terrible and glitchy. I can’t believe Condé Nast allows this app to function this way. I have never written a negative review for an app before but this app is terrible. I use the app for almost all my recipes and save my personal recipes in there. I love the recipes and collections. Unfortunately, however, be prepared to lose years of saved recipes. It’s impossible to access your account to change your password if you have forgotten it (their “forgot password” links don’t work on phone or computer) and epicurious won’t respond to repeated emails on the topic. I have emailed them at least four times with no response. It makes no sense. It’s such a basic feature and so easy to respond and say you are looking into it. Luckily I still have my password saved on a different device and can access my recipes, but I have no access on my phone. Please fix this.
