I have used this app for over 10 years, during this time it changed names and layouts. It was easy to navigate and I always found an interesting recipe to try. I loved how the recipes were also uploaded by home cooks!!! NOW, i am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with this app! Now I have to pay a monthly fee to get THE BEST SEARCH RESULTS! It's time to find a new recipe app, I shouldn't have to pay to get the best results.

Hi Jay, Thanks for your feedback! Your loyalty means a lot. Just to clarify, the free version of Cookpad hasn't changed – you still see the same search results. Cookpad Premium is a new feature that sorts recipes by most cooked first. Please email us at help@cookpad.com for assistance. We'd hate to see you go! Thanks, Cookpad Team

I was on this app just about everyday when I was younger. I hadn't been on it in several years until recently. I think it's ridiculous to charge a premium in order for me to look at the older recipes I have saved even with a free month. It seems like they're following in every other company's footsteps. Yeah you got to make money somehow but to charge to see recipes, save more than 60 recipes, see older ones, etc. I don't think it's worth it.

Hi Cara. Access to all recipes on Cookpad remains free to everybody in over 70 countries. Premium is optional to users who wish see recipe search results ordered by most popular recipes first or to bookmark more than 60 recipes. PS means we can avoid selling traffic to advertisers, and we believe an ads-free cooking experience is beneficial to all

All of my bookmarks are still in place but all my saved recipes that I entered myself are gone. The titles are still in place but the ingredients and instructions have been deleted, seemingly never to be found again. This is extremely frustrating as some of these I tweaked and it took me a while to build what I was looking for. Now they're gone. 😥
