this app dictates my meals most of the time. beautiful pics, recipes never fail me, and it inspires me to make new dishes. I wish there was a FRIDGE CALCULATOR so I could more easily make something from my fridge from what i already had, but I still like the app just the same. I'd probably use it even more if it had a fridge calculator.

The app has always been solid and I've liked the recipes a lot. But in a recent update they added the feature where you can search the recipe reviews which made it waaaay better, you can search for "vegan" or "gluten" or whatever and see if people have made succesful swaps. Super useful for NYT recipes which aren't usually written to accommodate dietary restrictions and where the top comments are usually adding meat to recipes with vegan in the title.

This is a great way to access, save, and organize NYT recipes as well as read notes from people who've made them and read articles about cooking tips and more. Each recipe includes an intro and a picture, and many have videos. Another thing I like is an extensive recently viewed section with a long memory. One of the best!

Recipes are great, use them all the time, but the app is pointless? The UI is worse than using a mobile brower. No sidebar for what to cook/recipes/ingredients. No "cook mode" to keep the screen from turning off. Autoplaying videos in the recipes even with autoplay turned off (which apparently is only for the home tab). No dark mode, clicking on the author's name takes you to search instead of listing the recipes they have, etc. Only positive to the app is the metric beta test feature for baking

A good app, though here's a recommendation. When browsing your "Recipe Box", which could contain dozens of recipes, once you select one of your saved recipes to look at and then want to go back to the list of recipes, it brings you all the way back to the top of the list, instead of where you were before clicking said recipe. It's very frustrating because you have to scroll all the way down to where you left off. Please remedy this.

Had a subscription, it expired, I chose to renew it and lost all of my saved recipes. Poor app Has a bunch of potential but the interface is really poor. Would love to see an ability to search through saved recipes, and organize recipes with better ease. If there were more options of lists, I think it would be easier to explore rather than searching by chef/artist submitting the recipes. Love the idea and the database, bust as far as execution goes.

Bristol Kelley

App didn't work despite way too much time on it. Log in (it acknowledges I'm logged in) and it still won't take you to the recipes, so far it asks various things, like do I want to continue my free trial (what free trial?) and do I want to buy a description (another one?). Anyway, annoying. I'll just keep logging in on my computer and not using it when that's not around.

I'm tired of this app. I'm a paying subscriber, but reconsidering. This has been enshittified. Any time you minimize the app, it pulls you out of the recipe (or list, or whatever) you were viewing and drives you back to the start page, presumably to increase add views there. If I'm cooking, which is primarily when I use this, and have to do anything else on the phone, it's just unbearable.

Rivers Wright

Good recipes, easy to use, and you can save all the recipes you like so you can always go back to them. I just wish there was a way to edit/add thoughts and ideas to the saved recipes, so that I can customize any of them to my liking, and it would only be saved to my page so only I would see the edit, but other than that its awesome !

Carl Blunt

App would be great, but doesn't reliably categorize recipes you bookmark, which is one of the primary use cases for the app. I hate looking through 40 recipes categorized as "dinner" only to realize that the one I'm looking for is one of another 10-15 tucked away somewhere in a "bookmarked" folder of every recipe I've saved. There's a useless "folder" feature that would allow me to create a second folder of "dinner" recipes for those that aren't automatically categorized, but not the extant one.

The recipes are useful, and it's one of the better recipe apps available for Android. However, much like some other NYT subscriptions, it is very difficult to cancel. You are required to call Customer Service or have a long online chat, and they will try to talk you out of it. It reminds me of trying to cancel Comcast. (After a long chat with a customer service rep, NYTC kept me on by cutting my subscription price in half for a year. Pretty sweet deal.)

Jamie Williams

I like some things about this app, but there are a lot of annoying things about it. In the grocery list, I can only remove a certain number of items from my list before it crashes. I also find it really annoying I can't add other items to my grocery list unless it comes from a NYT recipe, so I often have to use two separate lists. When searching recipes, if I select one then try to go back to my list, it'll put me back to the top of the list, not where I left off. Lot's of room for improvement.

Elizabeth Coombs

The only thing I dislike about this app is that it seems not to know when you chosen the "Stay Logged In" setting. You'll click on a recipe, it will take you to a full-page ad for potential new subscribers, there will be a dialogue button in the upper rt corner that says "Log Out," and still you cannot go any further until you choose "Logout" to log back in again.

Mark Burgess

I really like having this available. I feel bad because my large, beautiful NYT cookbook in print is languishing on the shelf but you can't beat the convenience. I wish the search functionality were stronger and the folders could be customized better. Also how do I rate recipes in the app?? Oh and one feature I'd like is to be able to see all of my comments on recipes. There should be a "mine" tab next to "all" "helpful" "private"

It's a bit disorganized but getting better over time. The early versions were harder to use, but it's clear that this is much better and easier to use than most of what anyone else has going on. The fact that it's improving is a good sign that it's being invested in. More importantly, the recipes are solid. These people love food and cooking and everything from fairly tedious to easy is included; the hit rate for "tasty recipe" is very high.

Diana d'Ambra

Excellent Resource. I am a long-time subscriber to the NYT, so I had no problem with access. The recipes are excellent if a bit awkward to find. The cooking skill level is properly assessed but you need some cooking skills to do the easy level. I personally would like the food analysis breakdown, calories, fat, sodium, etc, but its a minor drawback. Very worthwhile.

Erin Mooney

The content is great, but there is some opportunity to improve functionality. Clicking the share feature on a recipe has always resulted in the app crashing for me. Which is frustrating, especially when I want to share a recipe that I've loved with family and friends!! It would also be nicer to be able to use the grocery list as something I could more easily check off while shopping. But ultimately my NYT Cooking subscription has been a game changer.

Sharon Wienke

I love NYT recipes and fill my recipe box accordingly. But this app has two main flaws. One appears to be a bug in that the category folders do not contain all of the appropriate recipes. For example, I added the recipe for the drink Tinto de Verano to my box, but it does not show in the Drink category filter. So if you can't remember the recipe name, this is a problem. And this issue is compounded by my second problem, that I can't search for recipes just in my box.

Deanna Borges

I love being able to access the NYT cooking database. I have found so many recipes that I have added to my favorite rotation. The one flaw I would say that it does have is in the "recommended for you" department. Even after I have looked at and not saved (usually because of obscure ingredients that I can't get locally) recipes, the exact same recipes keep showing up over and over. Even after I searched for and saved a bunch of different recipes, the recommendations continued to repeat.

Luke

The app could use a lot of improvement with respect to its recipe discovery. It would be very easy for them to add search fields by cuisine, ingredient, rating score, and many other categories. After the search, there should be sorting filters. These are basic features of any recipe app. Also, comments would be much more helpful, clear, and informative if users could reply to other users' questions and comments directly and that user gets notified.
