Tastemade: Stream Shows & Docs Reviews

by Puddinz

I have been a subscriber of this app from the very beginning, although the content has gotten better Tastemade has become more unstable with every update. With this new update I was logged out of my account, Tastemade
would not accept my email address or password, so I had to create a new account. The search results are a hit or miss, putting in a term like “meatballs” brings up no results, but “chicken” will bring up results even if chicken or chicken stock isn’t an ingredient, this has been a constant issue. I have sense lost all recipes I have saved, which is about a years worth. They have also changed Tastemade into this streaming service, so now instead of recipes there are half hour to one hour long episodes. Whoever made this decision was stupid because they are literally forgetting about what made this app so popular. I have no issue with paying its only
1.99 a month (grandfathered price) but tasty is free, bon Appétit has better recipes, and content, and there are a host of other bloggers and websites out there as well. I’m done with this app. Unless you have the grandfathered price don’t waste your time with this one.

I used to love Tastemade but now with the new update I HATE IT. I used to be able to watch multiple shows a day but now with the new update you can only watch 5 shows a MONTH. All they want you to do is pay for a subscription, when many people might not want to. But seriously only 5 shows each MONTH. And all the shows I liked to watch such as- the scran line I can’t find and it’s sad cause I really liked that show. I’m really disappointed they should just go back to the old update. It’s just really annoying that you can only watch 5 shows a month if you don’t have a subscription. I really liked the old update. If this keeps happening I’m going to delete Tastemade . LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS PLUS😒

I’m deleting Tastemade. As much as I like this app this is the worst way to try to get money. You’re forcing subscriptions to watch videos but there’s no choice whether I want to watch the video or not. Sometimes I want to just look at the recipe and ingredients or see if it’s something I’d try. But even then I’m forced to watch a video (with no sound) and it’s using one of my free videos. How could you only offer 5 free for A MONTH?? Think about your audiences needs first before going with this ridiculous subscription price. You’re NOT Netflix. 7.99 for your content is not justifiable.

Never could get it to work. Between Apple and this app. What a nightmare. I’m pretty sure they are charging me for at least two accounts. One through Apple (don’t bother. The 2.99 monthly is worse than the free site. You barely get access to anything) One through this app at 4.99 a month. Except although it took my payment info, I don’t have an account that I can find. Won’t email me a password reset either. Although I shouldn’t need to since I saved it all through my iPhone. But still this app says it doesn’t know me. Nope I’m done. I’ll call my bank and block payment. Waste of time. Huge waste of time.

I used to absolutely love Tastemade! I loved all the short videos of the recipes, and how simple and easy it was to go out and get what I wanted and make a meal in such a little time. But now I see this new update only has long videos of the recipes, and nothing that I had saved on Tastemade before the update is available now. I’m honestly quite disappointed now because I had many things I wanted to try making this summer, but now it’s all thrown out this window for this bull crap. I guess it’s cool for people who are really into watching cooking videos, but I just like simplicity and not having to watch 20 min videos to make a dish. I’m not happy with this!

WTH this app?!? You got rid of so many recipes! And even if you didn’t get rid of them I can’t find them. I hate that you can’t view categories and topics of recipes (i.e. cheese, dessert, garlic, comfort food, etc). I can no longer browse to see what I might want to make. No, I have to swim through lifestyle shows if I want to even come close to that. I hate that you put priority on those shows instead of individual recipes. I hate that when you search something like “garlic” to find some garlic-y recipes, you only get THREE RESULTS that are from SHOWS, not individual recipes. I’m going to Tasty.

I used to love looking at all of the different recipes and saving them all so I could try them. This was my favorite food app... and then they made premium videos which you had to pay for. I didn’t think much of it and I was fine looking at only the free content. But then they made it so you could only watch up to 5 (if I recall correctly) videos a month for free which is ridiculous. I had stopped using it for months and I recently opened it again to find that you can’t even USE Tastemade for free. You have to have a subscription. This was the last straw and I have deleted Tastemade . It used to be one of the best but sadly they just care about the money now. I will be using Tasty from now on. ✌🏽

I would agree with other viewers that it’s terrible. Every single recipe you click on, you are forced to watch a video. Why can’t I just see the ingredients and the recipe? Who is going to make a recipe based off a video? I get it your videos are all over Facebook, I get that portion and why you’d want to have the videos. But you still need to read the recipe. The application should give you the recipe first and if you’d like to watch the video or link the video on Facebook or something like that yes. I need to see a list of ingredients and I’d like to read it. Yes you can see the recipe, but after a video always starts up. Maybe it should be the other way around? Look at the recipe, and click a button to view the Video if that’s what you want.

I made an account for this app and when I put my name in for some reason when I went back, changed it to what it’s supposed to be (because It autocorrected my name) and kept going my name was AGAIN wrong even though I tried to fix it! When I went to my profile page there was no option to edit my name and so I tried logging out. When I went to login my password was now not working either. I then tried to change my password but when I went there the website would not let me tape in the bar to type my new password and kept pulling up something else. Maybe you won’t have my problem but MAKE SURE you have everything right while making an account.

I loved watching all the recipe videos and saving recipes and things, that’s what I subscribed for. I had lots of recipes saved, and I would get lost watching the videos. Then BAM, Tastemade updates and they don’t even recognize I have a subscription, all the videos I saved are gone, and all that exists in Tastemade is the this app TV content that I never once got into watching. Such a disappointment and in the end a waste of my time and money since all the recipes I paid to save are gone.

When I first found this app, I was in love with the recipes, chefs and format of Tastemade . But like many others, I became increasingly disappointed in the amount of content that this app labeled as premium or “plus” content over time. Videos that were once free to watch now have a stipulation of five videos or so before you are prompted to pay for this app Plus which tbh is a complete waste of money. The recipes are great but they aren’t anything special and this app isn’t the only app or website that offers recipes. I don’t see a need to pay for Tastemade when apps like Tasty are free and offer a variety of recipes similar to if not better than those found on this app. The constant push for users to pay for content is a complete turnoff and I’ve since deleted Tastemade and just turn to other recipe sites and apps that don’t require a subscription for no particular reason. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I have had Tastemade for quite a while. I used to love it because it had tons of videos, pretty entertaining cooks, and good recipes. Just recently, I have noticed they have moved WAY more forward with the whole paid subscription thing and now I can’t even watch videos I used to watch!! Videos on my favorites list keep turning to paid videos, so now I can’t even get them off of my favorites page! I can hardly use Tastemade anymore because most videos are paid videos! It’s very frustrating.

Originally I just looked on this app on snapchat and screenshotted recipes I liked, then I found out about Tastemade and was so excited I didn’t have to wait for new recipes on Snapchat in order to browse this app’s options. However, after looking at only five recipes I can’t even look at anymore without paying to see new videos. Besides the fact that I could literally just look it up on safari, making paying pointless, the videos aren’t even necessary for me and it would be nice to just see the recipe regardless of if there were a video or not! But that isn’t an option. I hope it is understood that people will begin deleting Tastemade or never installing it in the first place when they realize how frustrating and useless it is. Two stars only because the recipes are good but Tastemade is terrible.

Ok I understand you to be premium or upscale for the food app department but the fact that I haven’t opened my this app app in over 6 months and I randomly opened it the other day to see that I can’t save over 10 recipes! I mean my Gawd! Why only 10! That’s not fair. I’m sorry but there are plenty of other apps and websites that are free that let me save unlimited recipes. I just truly think 10 saved recipes is just a slap in the face! And for me to pay for a membership when I’m not getting any merchandise or a monthly cookbook is absurd.

I used to LOVE Tastemade- I watched numerous recipe videos every day. Now, unfortunately, the new update has rendered it nearly useless for me as it only allows 5 videos to be viewed every MONTH before needing to upgrade to the Plus version. Not only that, but when you click cancel on the pop-up demanding an upgraded Plus version to view the video, it returns you to the original home screen. Because of this, you can’t even use just the recipes without the videos. So basically, Tastemade is now worthless without the Plus version. If this isn’t changed soon, I’ll be deleting Tastemade . :(

I absolutely loved Tastemade. I went on it everyday and I was so inspired to try new recipes but with this new update I hardly feel that anymore. I didn’t like the new look but over all it still worked great. But now every time I click on a video that is not a “plus” video it tells me it is a plus video and I should start paying for Tastemade . I can’t watch any video on here anymore. Nor can I save more recipes than 50. Then once I cleared them out and tried to save new ones it won’t let me because it says I am out of saves when I don’t have anything saved anymore. Probably going to delete Tastemade soon if this keeps up.

I love Tastemade. I’ve been on the this app train for a while now and I love, most, things about Tastemade . One thing I have yet to appreciate is that you can’t see the videos that are in each post. There are 4, cool, but what are they?? It would make this app sooo much better to either a) make a list accessible to know what videos are attached to what post, or b) not clump posts together.

Whether it changes or not, I’ll still Love this app, but it’s just a small thing that would make a huge difference for me!!

I’ve been following this app for quite sometime on both SnapChat and watching on AppleTV. I can never get enough of the videos and stories you offer. Laura Miller got me hooked and now I’ve officially subscribed. It’s a great subscription and service. I have been cooking now with fresher ingredients and also learned to cook freely without recipes. Thanks this app

by Balletswan0324

I like Tastemade. It has a lot of really cute recipes, and you can easily find a recipe you want by searching for it. It is easy to navigate, and the videos are a good quality. The only thing I don’t like is that you have to subscribe to get more saves, which is super annoying.

by Tyler12Kat4

I’ve always been a lover of this app, and Tastemade is just another reason why. Recipes that are so fun to watch and (sometimes) make or at least I think I can make! The videos are mesmerizing and the food has me drooling. All their new home and travel content has been an added bonus too. I wish I could eat it all and travel to all the places. One of my favorites!

I’ve been using Tastemade for a couple of weeks now and all my friends think that I’m an amazing chef..... I’m the opposite of amazing chef but Tastemade lets me cook delicious food that anyone can easily make! I’m not one to write reviews on apps but man I use this one daily, I even check it more than Instagram/Snapchat to get more ideas for cheap recipes i can make at home. Thanks tastemate you really live up to your expectations, which is really hard to come by now a days.
