Favorites wiped out when updating to v1.0.2
I’ve been using this slick little app for years to collect recipes and as of the latest update, all my favorites have been erased. Nothing carried over. I wish there was a way to downgrade. I don’t see myself using any of these new features.
Once free, now freemium + subscription based and wiped my local data
I saw there was a new update to Only Recipe and was excited to see there may be some new features.
Well I had about 35 or so saved recipes I reviewed frequently for cooking, and use it to view ad hoc recipes quickly. All my saved recipes were wiped out. And now I can only save up to 20 unless I pay for it with other limitations. I wish I had the old app back to recover those recipes and keep with the simple version without bells and whistles.
I’m sure the new features are nice, but it’s a burnt bridge for me. I’ll go back to scrolling through SEO spam and hand writing my recipes again since no one can rug pull pen and paper.
All of these breaking changes was all in a patch release too instead of a major release version, so I didn’t assume it was going to break everything this hard.
