Spot fucking on.
Ever have a good app? Something you like using but it's by a corporation but that's ok, because it's a good app and does what you want? And then they start adding more features to it, and it slows down, and it's more annoying and it keeps offering services you don't want, and it changes and it morphs and it becomes a shit app.
Hell I've watched Whisk become something I liked using to something worthless now it's Samsung food... Switched to using CopyMeThat which actually also gets me recipes from sites that you can't just read the recipes from, and that's ALL it does (well recipe book/shopping cart/meal planning, which is what it's designed for.)
I'm just sick of "How do we make more money" instead of just being an app that does what it says. Gaming is going down the same hole, sadly.
I also quit whisk when it became samsung food. Does CopyMeThat let you have shared lists with other people?
It does have a "Community" aspect, but honestly I think it's quite weak on that. however if you have someone you know and their recipes are public you can see them, but not in any organized sense.
Dang, the shared grocery list and meal planning was the best part of it.
My wife and I just share our account which has worked perfect though I'm really the one who cooks so the recipe list becomes mine as well.
That sounds nice, I'll try that out
