Rank customer abuse

2022-05-21

I have loved and been using this app 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 cat... Show more

App is Nonfunctional

2022-06-22

I have tried for weeks to get Epicurious to work after it booted me off one day and cleared my updates to my recipe box. I can use the website just fine in my browser, so I know it’s not my password, but Epicurious never lets me log in. I tried to submit a error report through Epicurious via the... Show more

If Only They Could Go Back *Several* Releases

2022-07-23

The this app 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 Epicurious on my phone longer than 20 mins in the past few years. No idea what al... Show more

Recipes are great but app is horrible

2022-08-24

I have been using this app for years. The recipes are amazing. Unfortunately Epicurious is terrible and glitchy. I can’t believe Condé Nast allows Epicurious to function this way. I have never written a negative review for an app before but Epicurious is terrible.

Poor search function

2022-09-25

The this app app has a very poor search function. Even if you know the exact name of the recipe, it may or may not work
For example, the small video that plays on an unrelated recipe page featured “Chocolate Dipped Pistachio Shortbread.” When I entered that exact title into the Search functi... Show more

Login Doesn't Work on iPad

2022-10-26

For some reason the login function doesn't work on my iPad. I've tried several times and Epicurious just closes the page as though I never entered my login details. It's very frustrating. Other than that, Epicurious is good. It has a recipe box section and a shopping list section from which you c... Show more

Saved Recipes?

2022-11-27

Tried Epicurious for about a day and the recipes were great and they organized the different categories really well. My only and biggest problem is that Epicurious decides what it’s going to save on my ‘save recipes’ file. I spent almost an hour finding all these great recipes and scrolling and s... Show more

Please improve your app so it functions in a manner appropriate to this decade!

2022-12-28

First: I have loved this app and used it often. Second: Epicurious is very disappointing. Since I don’t take my laptop into the kitchen when cooking, you’d think Epicurious would be fully functional.

My main complaint is that it doesn’t allow for reviews. I rely on others reviews in choo... Show more

It could be perfect but...

2023-01-29

I have been using Epicurious off and on for about 5 years. I have seen the addition of new features like the Shopping List which I totally love. However, Epicurious is filled with bugs, and glitches no matter how many updates are made. There’s always a new issue with Epicurious and therefore bec... Show more

I really love the recipes, but the app doesn’t function well.

2023-03-02

The recipes are great, and I’ve really enjoyed making them, but Epicurious itself isn’t great. The back button doesn’t work well, it has a really tiny hit box so sometimes it takes me longer to hit the back button than it does to read the recipe. I’ve never had this issue with any other app. Also,... Show more

Been on epi for so many years! life is so different now

2023-03-31

I went on epi when I first heard about it, at least 18 years ago...maybe more. It was the total package....new and amazing! Now, I’m getting a bit disappointed and yet I always come back. Some of my favorite recipes have disappeared from the site and I’ll never retrieve and some of the new is just ... Show more

Good but needs improvement

2023-05-02

Epicurious is mostly awesome. You can browse cooking videos, look at recipes and save the ingredients to a grocery list that you can check off while you shop. It also has timers for basic foods like chicken as well as their cuts, eggs and the different times for different ways, etc., however I dis... Show more

Review from a 20+ year member

2023-06-02

I’ve been an this app member since the 1990’s and, until it was disbanded, an active voice in the this app Forum. When the this app Cookbook was in the works I was contacted to contribute one of my recipes which I’m happy to say appeared in the book (Sesame Noodles). Back then Epi was my primar... Show more

Great app, but...

2023-07-04

So, I truly do love Epicurious, but what’s up with it no longer allowing me to play the videos? I loved the videos, I thrived off of the videos, the videos made life just that much better. This problem started about a month ago and I hesitated to say anything thinking it was just a glitch or some... Show more

Easy, helpful, reviews... favorite!

2023-08-04

I find Epicurious to be my favorite place to get online recipes. Reasons are it gives without asking for money or clicks, it has a large variety of recipes, most of them have reviews, and it is easy to save recipes for future needs. I like checking it out for new recipes because I am not shown ads... Show more

One of my favorite apps but...

2023-09-05

I use Epicurious multiple times a week. As a Bon Appetit subscriber, it’s a great way to find and save recipes from the magazine. It’s also a terrific reference and source of inspiration, especially on those ‘what’s for dinner tonight?’ days. The search tools and photography are great and help to ... Show more

One of the worst apps for a great website

2023-10-07

Dear this app, I strongly suggest that you eliminate your app altogether, particularly if you cannot keep it functional. That, or fire whoever is maintaining it for you and replace them with a qualified company. Adding all of your advertising to Epicurious was bad enough, but now your app fail... Show more

Yukon gold cinnamon rolls

2023-11-07

I am 77 and I have been making cinnamon Rolls for well over 50 years. Most of the time, they were real good. Cinnamon rolls are good. However, I will never make a different recipe than this one. They are THE BEST I have EVER made or eaten. Anyone I have shared them with agree. They are totally ad... Show more

Epicurious - best recipe and cooking source ever!

2023-12-09

I have been using this app long before apps - back in the days of dial up! The this app app was one of the first I ever downloaded and it holds all of my recipes so I have it no matter where I may travel. What makes this app so appealing is its organization - you can create a shopping list for r... Show more

This app is a cooks absolute MUST HAVE!

2024-01-09

I am a serious cook with very discerning taste, so any old recipe just won’t cut it. this app is my go-to place for all things yummy.

If I eat something delicious at a restaurant I can usually find the recipe for the dish I liked on this app. If I’m stumped for what to make for dinner on ... Show more

Poorly Functioning App With Great Content

2025-01-24

This is one of those apps that has the potential to be truly outstanding, but is being help back because it poorly functions. I use (or try to use) Epicurious fairly regularly (weekly), access the website too, usually when totally frustrated by Epicurious , and have subscribed to BA magazine for d... Show more

Not bad but could be better

2025-01-24

Coming back after a long while not using Epicurious — loved the iPad version to pieces 5-6 years ago! But now that some time has passed and I’ve gained friends with several severe allergies to dairy, seafood, and garlic (yes that is a thing), it’s quite frustrating the lack of granularity in being...

What happened with recipe bookmarks..OhOh, where is support?, and now can’t rate!

2025-01-24

Saving a recipe from an email to Epicurious was always a bit clumsy and web/app sync never seemed to work. The frustrating workaround for me was to only save to Epicurious after needing to launch it. Now it seems an email link won’t save to Epicurious at all. Sync is fundamental...fix it up plea... Show more

Best Brownies!!!

2025-01-24

I can not compliment this recipe enough. I Did Not have to put a 1/2 cup of oil in it like the boxed brands. They are concise and lay low so I decided to cut smaller squares too. The portion control is warranted because the Taste is perfect with a small square! I only reduced the sugar to a cup be... Show more

Used to Love....Disappointed

2025-01-24

I have subscribed before and been a lover of Bob Appetit and this app for many many years! I love the magazines, articles, menus, recipes and was thrilled when there was an app made available. Yes, there have been glitches along the way but nothing that drove me nuts until now.

Great app. Wish it. Could be closer to the way it is online

I love Epicurious I used Epicurious a lot and have told many friends about it. It’s a great source for quality relieves that you know are from trusted source and will always come out great.

What happened??

2025-01-24

I see many users find Epicurious buggy - it’s been great for me the past couple yrs until last week - it simply won’t load new/current content on either of my devices. Please fix!

That said, it’s my go-to for new dishes to try on friends & family, because it’s the “complete” deal - a ... Show more

Great resource

2025-01-24

I really enjoy Epicurious! I always get inspiration from the plethora of recipes and especially like that I can search by ingredient when I’m on the fence about how to use up what I have on hand. I chuckle during nearly every video and am selfishly pleased when I find out I’m not the only person w... Show more

Great resource and entertainment

2025-01-24

I’ve been using this app for many years. It’s always my “go to” place for ideas. I rarely follow recipes exactly do I usually read through a number of recipes and combine the best of each. I also get ideas from the reviews. This is dodo where the entertainment factor kicks in. I love how people re... Show more
