Yummly Reviews 7

I purchased a Yummly Smart Thermometer on 12/07/2022. This thermometer was a pain from day one. It is supposed to link to an app and it never was consistant; therefore, I only used it twice. On 03/11/2025, I pulled it out of my kitchen drawer (still had all the packaging and it looked like new because I literally used it twice). When I went to the app, I found the following on-line.....As of December 18, 2024 the Yummly® Smart Thermometer app will no longer be functional. This change is part of Yummly's transition to permanently shut down its website and mobile apps.
We understand this may impact your cooking experience, and were here to help. If you're a Yummly® Smart Thermometer owner, you can contact Customer Support at (844) 907-0001
for assistance and learn about available options. Please be prepared to have your thermometer's purchase receipt and details when you reach out. I called the CS number and also discovered that Yummly is owned by 'Whirlpool'. I was told by the Whirlpool CS Rep that they would send me a Visa card for $25. I paid $77.94 for this worthless piece of junk! Today is 03/23/25 and I have still not received the $25 Visa card! UPDATE: Finally received the $25 gift card on 03/31/25, for a thermometer that is no longer supported by Yummly because they shut down the app and that I paid $77.94 for! Never again!

This is not a handy tool, this is a website that is hiding other people's recipes behind a data-harvesting scheme.

Yummly used to be a great online tool, but now they keep changing things and it's now undesirable. Like, really. They just changed things AGAIN and it's a pain to use. I need to look for something different. Also, when I tell it NOT to bring up a recipe with a certain ingredient, it does it anyways. Annoying.

Bait and switch. Often when I do a web search, I find links pointing to this website, but when I follow the link, the article that was linked doesn't appear. It's just an opening page trying to get my information.

Duck Duck Go gave me a notification that yummly tried to steal information during set up when I opened the yummly sign in link in my gmail. This attempt was blocked, and I was able to complete the yummly account set up by opening the yummly sign in link through copying and pasting the sign in address in a new tab. There is no data tied to my gmail account that yummly is entitled to access, especially since they do not have permission to view my credit card data or personal address, and yummly did not request access. That's theft. Breaking into my mailbox and opening my mail is a crime, as is opening my wallet or entering my home without permission. Yummly isn't entitled to breaking into my web accounts.

Love it! Amazing site with a lot of recipes, I love their search engine to find very specific recipes to fit my needs.

Incredible! Loads of recipes, with a personalized experience. Will use it lots.
