The app doesn’t separate marketing and cooking notifications, which is really frustrating. Every notification leaves me guessing if it’s useful or just marketing spam. I doubt this was an oversight—it feels like a deliberate choice to push more ads. For a product meant to make cooking easier, this is a huge disappointment. It disrupts the whole experience.

Was not expecting the app to recommend recipes outside of my dietary preferences, I'm sure that wasn't what the app was designed to do... nevertheless.. I chose vegan for dietary preferences and no alcoholic beverages and received a ton of recommendations that had only one plant-based recipe plus a few cocktail recipes... tailored just for me.

I have had Yummly for years using my Facebook login. I recently bought a new phone and when I attempted to login it says "feature unavailable: Facebook login is currently unavailable for this app". I have so many saved recipes that are now lost. I'm incredibly upset. And yes, I've deleted the app from Facebook in order to reset it, deleted the app and downloaded it again and tried going on the website. Same error message each time.
