Awful app & customer service
I’ve had this app for about 6 months now and one day the app wouldn’t open. I just got a blue screen and it froze. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it but when I logged back in, I had NONE of my recipes I’d saved and cooked. Everything I’d found and cooked was now gone. I reached out to their “customer service” which was a huge joke. I got one email reply telling me to login instead of create a new account. The lady clearly didn’t read my email or she thinks I’m just an idiot. Either way, it was bad customer service and I’m still left with a waste of time and money. I’ve already cancelled this membership so it will NOT renew.
The food is ok, I guess. I’ve tried several recipes and only a handful have been ones I would repeat. To me it’s not worth the money when I can find the same stuff on IG or TT.

Looking for an app that gives recipe ideas.
Had the app for 20 minutes to check it out given the 400k reviews. It was a pain. IMO this app needs a way to filter out drinks and desserts. I’m looking for meal ideas and if the recommendations are 99% drinks and desserts, it doesn’t help out much. Saw one good recipe that was very basic, and I could have done an easy google search for it. Improve the filter ability and it might be a good enough app to download again.
app so broken
App is so broken I can’t even log in anymore. Uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing still. Super frustrating and disappointing.
Profile
Where did my profile go?!
Not for kids!! - inappropriate ads!
The app description says that it is for ages 4+ but it’s letting ads inappropriate for young kids. My son has been cooking and was excited about having this app on his Android phone, which has A LOT of parental restrictions. However, through this app inappropriate ads (sexualized Temu ads if you must know) appeared. I tried to report it directly from the ad, which made it disappear only to reappear a few seconds later.
He’s uninstalled it. I only installed it to write this review.
I also see that people can post pictures of what they made. Are those pictures being regulated or like the ads in this app, anything can show up there?

Dietary preferences
I’m gf and it’s literally only suggesting recipes with gluten
Logged off my tasty app, now I have to pay monthly?!
What kind of BS is happening here? I’ve used tasty for many years, and now I have to sign up? I lost all my saved meals and whatever I have contributed to this app. So disappointed!
Don’t use
How do you find your saved recipes on this stupid app
Waste
The app is bloated with ads, the layout is so congested that you can hardly find the information you need, they force you to create an account to bookmark any recipes, and the recipes are just GARBAGE. It's a complete waste of food, time, sanity, and energy. They make enticing videos for youtube but the end result in real life is pathetic. Use a legit cookbook instead.
Terrible recipes are taking up my phones storage
I added this app because they had a couple recipes I liked. Now, they send me recipes that are all either disgusting or are just something that it seems are thrown together by someone who doesn’t care and just trying to rush out content. I’m deleting this app today after having not been attracted to any one recipe in over a year. Why take up space on my phone when I can just google recipes that are actually good and usable?
Ratings???
Don't know why people rate this app so high. I wanted to find peanut butter frosting (icing) recipe. Did not exist or even get close. App will be deleted.
Getting political
I joined tasty because of the variety of dishes and now they are posting political posts. If I want that I will go to a news network. Stick to food.
Not good
The videos don’t work and say their unavailable very unfortunate.
Only Filters Some Allergies
It doesn't have many options for foods to avoid. I’m allergic to all kinds of peppers, and very much hate most beans. There was no option to filter out those recipes. I would have liked to see that.
It’s not really all that.
I put my lactose free and no peanut butter for can’t have and it still kept giving me nothing but recipes with them in it. It was kinda frustrating.
good recipes but constant sign ins
the recipes and cooking stuff are alright but its annoying how you have to sign in everytime, why doesnt it savemy info so i dont have to sign in every single time i want to use the app
No scratch recipes
None of these recipes will actually TEACH you how to cook unfortunately. It just tells you to buy premade sauces or breads. I want to know how to make things from scratch from a recipe app
Key lime bars recipe
I bought all ingredients which was offered to me in this recipe including coconut milk. And now I’m suffering because it doesn’t works like it is supposed to be. Milk was supposed to be thick but this one is more like water. I didn’t choose this coconut milk by myself, the app showed me that one.
