NYT Cooking

A good app, though here's a recommendation. When browsing your "Recipe Box", which could contain dozens of recipes, once you select one of your saved recipes to look at and then want to go back to the list of recipes, it brings you all the way back to the top of the list, instead of where you were before clicking said recipe. It's very frustrating because you have to scroll all the way down to where you left off. Please remedy this.

I'm tired of this app. I'm a paying subscriber, but reconsidering. This has been enshittified. Any time you minimize the app, it pulls you out of the recipe (or list, or whatever) you were viewing and drives you back to the start page, presumably to increase add views there. If I'm cooking, which is primarily when I use this, and have to do anything else on the phone, it's just unbearable.

Thankfully it seems that the damage from the terrible update about a month or two ago has been undone. HOWEVER, I notice that the app hides the Android system tray at the top, making my clock, notifications, wifi and battery indicators all disappear. Why do you do this?! The system tray should *never* be hidden except by explicit opt-in setting by the user. Also, how is it that there's *still* no way to gift recipes from the app, only the website?? Come on, NYT.
