NYT Cooking App Reviews

Im always so happy with the results. This app lets me keep all my favorites at my fingertips.

I love this app. Its easy to bookmark and track recipes. So far all the recipes Ive made have been excellent! I highly recommend the Mark Bittman recipes.

I love to look at the beautiful photography as much as finding a great recipe. One of my favorite apps.

I love this app. Not only is the food here always loved by my family, the app has a lot of useful options. I love being able to organize recipes into categories. Its nice to be able to click on a recipe writers name and see all of their recipes on the app. It lets me save recipes from the web, including other sites too. That is fantastic! When I got this app, I no longer needed the other apps I had because this one is so comprehensive. Even for a cookaholic like me. Thank you for this New York Times.

I use this app daily. Multiple ones a day. Great content. Love it!!

My first choice app for a recipe box is still Epicurious. It has much better search and recipe organization capabilities. And it has the ability to PRINT copies of recipes. The lack of a print capability in this app is just absurd. Do they really think users are going to wander around a grocery store searching for ingredients using an iPad? And my kitchen is the last place I want to bring a computer. On the plus side, the NY Times cooking section is a great source for new recipes, which can be saved digitally using this app. If there were some way to integrate all the recipes from this and other recipe boxes (like Food Network) that would be awesome.

The NY Times Cooking app has become the dominant cook book in our home. The breadth of recipes is excellent and weve found a number of new family favorite recipes that we turn to regularly. Im a big fan. Im not giving a 5 star review however, because of the opportunities that still exist in the app around the way a user can manage saved recipes, and particularly those that are saved from the web. Id send this as Developer Feedback, if I knew how to do that. One of the features of the app is the ability to save recipes captured on the web. This is actually really helpful, as it allows me to make the app essentially my recipe portal. That said, the app doesnt make managing saved recipes as easy as I could imagine. Theres no way, for example, to search for a key word or ingredient in a recipe - say "tomatillo" or "Bayless" - and find a recipe like Rick Bayless "Slow Cooked Pork Stew with Tomatillo, Mushrooms and Potatoes" which is an example of a recipe that I saved from the Web. This seems a little weird because the recipe appears in the app under my saved recipes list as "Rick Bayless | Slow Cooked Pork Stew with Tomatillo, Mushrooms and Potatoes" and I would expect that the search function would, at a minimum, find words in that title. As my list of saved recipes grows, good key word search (the ability to search by ingredient - which does not work either for native recipes unless the ingredient appears in the title of the recipe - or key word from the recipe - e.g. author named Bayless) that worked for Web recipes as well as the native ones in the App would make this feature more viable. Also, the "cooked" check mark, which can be selected for all the native recipes, is not available for web recipes, as a user can view all saved recipes or just all marked "cooked." Similarly, the ability to organize saved recipes into user created collections, would allow managing saved recipes to be more efficient. After a few months of using the app, Ive saved ~110 recipes (about 30 of them marked cooked), so simply scrolling through the whole saved recipe list looking for the particular web recipe I saved (since it is presented in the saved recipes in the order it was saved by me) is a long process. Just adding a category "saved from the web" would be a maybe easy and good short term fix until a more complete key word, author or ingredient search could work.

First, I admit I love this app. With a few fixes it could be a perfect five-star app. Saving from other sites is iffy. About half the time I have to resave. I love being able to save from other sites. I just wish it were more reliable. Second, saving articles about cooking from the NYT shows up in recipes (and again, often take two or three attempts to save). I wish they would save to a separate section on how to cook or something like that. And I cannot organize recipes. Instead of scrolling through all my recipes, I want to open a folder called bread and look at 25 recipes. Finally, printing abilities is important. With a wifi only iPad, it means I have to hand write a list of things I need to go to the store. Thats silly.And it means I need to use the iPad in the kitchen, when I have flour up to my elbows rolling out dough. Printing would solve both issues.

This app has introduced me to a lot of new recipes and all the ones Ive tried have been great and easy to follow.

It was the best cream cheese frosting Ive ever made and tasted!!!

I enjoy the recipes I find here, but it does crash a bit. I find I am using this app more than the other recipe apps I have relied on in the past.

Super easy to navigate and always helps me come up with something to make when Im in a rut. Like being able to see other users tips and comments

Great design, great recipes, the nytimes is great and so is their cooking app.

Like the NYT app, this is a beautifully streamlined app, that gives you fantastic recipes in every category. I live in NYC, and assume that the recipes here will appeal to the sophisticated local palate, and so far I have been right! No offense to the rest of the world!

Great app no excuse for not keeping those mouthwatering recipes organized

I always love the recipes in the NY Times. This app has wonderful recipes from all my favorite people, but I cant figure out how to put the recipes Ive saved into collections. This is supposedly possible but the instructions are everything but helpful. If you can fix this, Id give the app five stars.

Great recipes from many renowned chefs. Even some Julia Child ones. Easy to collect your favorites and to save recipes from other sites into it. The newsletter gives inspiring stories as well.

Information is presented well, the app functions pretty smoothly. I can only assume that this is a starting point, and that the NYT is going to be moving to add features. For me, having a view mode where I could place my iPad on a stand and quickly flip through each step w. the related ingredients is a priority. What’s up with the app logo? Looks like a visual error, but I know what you guys were trying to go for. Looking forward to future iterations of this product. Thanks for everything thus far.

Superb graphics/recipes, but initial install is almost 200MB and adds >5MB each time I open the app (without saving recipes!). Otherwise it would be 5 stars.

I have a 2nd? Generation iPad with iOS 8.0 that will not open the app. Opens to the solid red cover page and then quits. Anyone else having the same problem? I have deleted and reinstalled already but still have the same problem.
