I'm tired of this app. I'm a paying subscriber, but reconsidering. This has been enshittified. Any time you minimize the app, it pulls you out of the recipe (or list, or whatever) you were viewing and drives you back to the start page, presumably to increase add views there. If I'm cooking, which is primarily when I use this, and have to do anything else on the phone, it's just unbearable.

This used to be a great app, one that I was happy to subscribe to. It was one of the few apps you could pay for that wasn't full of junk and ads. They newest update changed all that, there are now ads in the recipes and the app somehow just got worse. Now the screen doesn't stay on and the navigation is messed up, and always brings you back to the home screen. I usually don't like writing poor reviews but whatever they did to the app seems like a money grab at the expense of ruining a good app.

May 31, 2024 It works again! I have loved Cooking app for years. Was so disappointed in the last update. But now it works again. Thanks for fixing it NYT! May 30, 2024. Hate hate hate the latest update. The app is clunky to use. The UX is terrible. Anytime you navigate away to a different app, when you return to Cooking it boots you out of your recipe and have to find the recipe again. The recipes are still great (hence the 1 star) but the app itself is now trash. Bring back the old version.
