Ratings and reviews

This app is pretty good. It's easy to create categories and save recipes to them. I wish I could more easily refine searches like I can on the website. The most frustrating thing is navigating search results. If I look at a recipe, the app takes me back to the top of the search results and I have to scroll diwn and down again everything looking for where I was in the sometimes very long list. Also, I frequently get annoying loading screens when scrolling the recipes.

Decent-ish app, however after charging a premium to use it, they have recently introduced adds to the app which is incredibly annoying and shows just how much NYT is trying to squeeze out of their subscribers. What's next, a 'double premium' to avoid adds too? Mind you, this was once and for a very long time a free service of NYT. Now, not even paywalls can protect you from the encroaching capitalist hell.

Fantastic recipes, but I don't know why the app doesn't have a cook mode to keep the screen from going dark while working? Additionally, when clicking into and back from a recipe, it's annoying that the app scrolls to the top instead of holding your place. Small fixes would improve an already great app
