Tastemade

I am noticing this low, soft noise in the background when I open up the app. Its hard to hear but it’s definitely there. It makes like a quick shushing sound and repeats every two seconds. This is the only app on my phone that does this so I know its not a problem with my phone. The sound will go away once I close the app. Anyways can you please fix this?? It’s quite annoying especially when I’m sitting in silence trying to look at the recipes! Lol Anyways great App. Love Tastemade! The recipes are amazing! Easy foods with delicious flavors. The subscription is a little pricey I think but overall it’s worth it. Also , a quick idea, it would be pretty neat if you can look up recipes by the ingredients you had at home. Basically you input the ingredients you have and recipes, if any, will come up based on those ingredients you have at home. I think it would be a great way to save people a trip from the grocery store and for them to use up the foods they already have at home.

When I first found Tastemade, I was in love with the recipes, chefs and format of the app. But like many others, I became increasingly disappointed in the amount of content that Tastemade labeled as premium or “plus” content over time. Videos that were once free to watch now have a stipulation of five videos or so before you are prompted to pay for Tastemade Plus which tbh is a complete waste of money. The recipes are great but they aren’t anything special and Tastemade isn’t the only app or website that offers recipes. I don’t see a need to pay for this app when apps like Tasty are free and offer a variety of recipes similar to if not better than those found on Tastemade. The constant push for users to pay for content is a complete turnoff and I’ve since deleted the app and just turn to other recipe sites and apps that don’t require a subscription for no particular reason. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I have been a subscriber of Tastemade from the very beginning, although the content has gotten better the app has become more unstable with every update. With this new update I was logged out of my account, the app would not accept my email address or password, so I had to create a new account. The search results are a hit or miss, putting in a term like “meatballs” brings up no results, but “chicken” will bring up results even if chicken or chicken stock isn’t an ingredient, this has been a constant issue. I have sense lost all recipes I have saved, which is about a years worth. They have also changed the app into this streaming service, so now instead of recipes there are half hour to one hour long episodes. Whoever made this decision was stupid because they are literally forgetting about what made tastemade so popular. I have no issue with paying its only 1.99 a month (grandfathered price) but tasty is free, bon Appétit has better recipes, and content, and there are a host of other bloggers and websites out there as well. I’m done with Tastemade. Unless you have the grandfathered price don’t waste your time with this one.

Originally I just looked on Tastemade on snapchat and screenshotted recipes I liked, then I found out about this app and was so excited I didn’t have to wait for new recipes on Snapchat in order to browse tastemade’s options. However, after looking at only five recipes I can’t even look at anymore without paying to see new videos. Besides the fact that I could literally just look it up on safari, making paying pointless, the videos aren’t even necessary for me and it would be nice to just see the recipe regardless of if there were a video or not! But that isn’t an option. I hope it is understood that people will begin deleting the app or never installing it in the first place when they realize how frustrating and useless it is. Two stars only because the recipes are good but the app is terrible.

I made an account for Tastemade and when I put my name in for some reason when I went back, changed it to what it’s supposed to be (because It autocorrected my name) and kept going my name was AGAIN wrong even though I tried to fix it! When I went to my profile page there was no option to edit my name and so I tried logging out. When I went to login my password was now not working either. I then tried to change my password but when I went there the website would not let me tape in the bar to type my new password and kept pulling up something else. Maybe you won’t have my problem but MAKE SURE you have everything right while making an account.
