UnusableCan’t use this on my iPad. The main page tells me to update but I’m up to date on the App Store. Guessing they just dropped support for my device, which is frustrating given the amount they’re charging for a yearly subscription.

A 37% price increase?Such a significant increase in an annual subscription might come with an explanation? It might come with new features? It might come with some commensurate added value for subscribers? Alas. None of the above.

DevastatedI have loved the cooking app until the day when I couldn’t access any of my recipes because my iPad can’t be upgraded to iOS 18. I do not want to purchase another iPad to accommodate the cooking upgrade. What will you do to keep my subscription to the NYT?

Great ideas categorizedRecipes are easy to find and easy to find categories. It’s simple to see if you are interested or not.

The best cooking app out there!I’ve had this app close to a year and I use it almost daily. I have yet to be disappointed by a 5 star rated recipe. It’s elevated my cooking technique. I’ve recommended this to app to multiple people when asked about my cooking/recipes. Great value.

A very handy resourceThis is an easy to use and well designed app. The recipes are clear - and I find the notes from others immensely helpful! I trust these recipes and I read the notes from others. I rarely find this with other recipe sites.
