Yummly
reviews and complaints

As someone who loves exploring new recipes and flavors, my experience with Yummly has been quite mixed. While I appreciate the vast array of recipes available on the platform, the user experience leaves much to be desired. Navigating through the website was cumbersome, and I often found myself frustrated by the intrusive ads and complicated sign-up process. Additionally, the constant requests for personal information felt like a privacy invasion. On the positive side, I did find some unique recipes that I enjoyed trying out. However, the overall hassle of using Yummly overshadowed the culinary delights I discovered. If you're willing to overlook the user interface challenges, you might find some hidden culinary gems on Yummly.

You can't even look at this website without submitting personal information via Google, FB or email. Not a fan and I won't do it. If I looked at the website and found it beneficial, I might create an account, but to force you to do so is absurd.

There's a lot of great recipes here. But if you want to get to the action of how to make them fast forget it. You're going to get a long preamble of the how, the why, the when, the taste, the on and on. Then when you hit the one you want images are intruding, specifics are somewhere else and you just can't get there fast.
Great recipe. Overloaded presentations.

I used to be able to enter this website without stalkerish advertisements, without a screen asking me stupid questions, and without forcing me to register to be able to look at recipes. Once I tried registering, nothing worked to let me see recipes. Yummly has sold its soul to stalkerish and greedy $#*!s who don't know how to make fully functional websites that are actually user friendly. Many people have made accounts on Yummly to no avail. Stay away from this website! There are other better recipe websites that let you look at recipes more easily without stalkerish advertisements that won't force you to stop your adblocker, without giving you stupid questions about the recipe you are looking for before you look for a recipe, and without requiring you to have an account that probably won't work before you are able to look at recipes. What I am saying is the truth. Don't believe me? Go to the yummly.com website and look for yourself and see what you think is the truth. This is 2019, but problems keep happening. Not that I am surprised.
