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've been using this app for 10+ years and it's been wonderful. However, recently with the new subscription payments, the app is pretty much useless. Whether you're searching for new recipes, or looking up saved. You can't find good ones unless you subscribe. But for that you can just go to Pinterest or literally any search engine. It's not worth the download.

Hi Ernest, Thank you for your loyalty. It's always sad to see you go! Please note that Premium is optional for users who wish to see search results ordered by the most popular recipes first or to bookmark more than 60 recipes. Otherwise, you can continue to use Cookpad exactly the same. Please email us at help@cookpad.com for assistance. Thanks!

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
