This app was great when I used it, until recently a pretty significant and frustrating glitch occurred. I recently re-downloaded this app and logged in. It asked for my phone number (because that’s what I used when I first made my account), and everything was perfectly fine, until I closed out of the app. When I reopened the app, it had logged me out. A little weird, but fine, I’ll just sign in again. But when I tried to submit my phone number, an error message popped up that said something along the lines of “oops, something went wrong. Please try again later.” So I closed the app and waited for about 10 minutes. I tried again and the same thing. I tried to input my friend’s number and it worked, so it was clearly my phone number that was the problem. But when I closed and reopened the app again and tried her number again, that one wouldn’t work either. I need this to be fixed because I had a lot of recipes saved on my account and I can’t sign in.

If you have ADHD and struggle with meal planning, or if you just have trouble with meal planning in general, I highly recommend this app. I’ve used other fitness apps mealplanners and whatnot but this is the best one. Features that work well: the search feature can help you narrow down recipes, you can add recipes directly to an online grocery cart that you can then check out (I use Walmart but I think there are other stores as well), and you can adjust the portions depending on how many people you are serving. Downside: check your final orders because sometimes if a little of an ingredient was required for a few recipes you will end up with a pound of fresh ginger and cilantro. Speaking from experience. Requested upgrade: if tasty would offer a weekly meal planning tab in addition to the digital recipe saving option, this would be a perfect app. Then I could just access the recipes I needed for the week instead of trying to remember what I was planning on making for the week.

Tasty used to be my favorite cooking apps (if not my most used apps in general). Not only were the recipes good, but I loved the videos that would actually show you what the process of cooking your meal would look like. I especially loved the Tasty 101 videos that were made by lots of different trials and errors to make a “perfect” version of a dish we all love (cake, cinnamon rolls, pumpkin pie, etc). The videos were my absolute favorite part of tasty and now they are either gone or have been replaced by horribly cut tik tok videos that don’t highlight the art of cooking so much as zoom (literal zoom) in on the stages on cooking with faster than ever cuts that makes me feel like I am experiencing whiplash within a cooking tutorial. I learned SO MUCH from watching your videos. I could not make half the new recipes I try from different sources without the amazing videos you all made that would show me what each part of the process would look like (how think is my sauce, what does reducing the liquid look like, what does just mixed look like, etc…). It’s disappointing to me that the app has changed to gratify a 1 minute attention span crowd instead of what were almost cooking tutorial videos. I hope that tasty goes back to what they used to be someday.
