App Stopped WorkingEpicurious has been great for a long time and now the app stopped working completely. Signed out and back in, even deleted the app and reinstalled. Still doesn’t work. Their help page says they can only be contacted through the widget on their webpage, but no widget appears. Please fix this issue!

Not free. Bait and switchIts free to create an account but to see any recipe you must pay. Lol. Terrible business practice

Buggy + awful interfaceApp never wants to open. Always have to delete and reinstall and most of the time even that won’t work. When it does work, the interface is awful. No ability to search saved recipes so just have to scroll and scroll until you find what you’re looking for. God awful user experience
