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.

This used to be a great app, one that I was happy to subscribe to. It was one of the few apps you could pay for that wasn't full of junk and ads. They newest update changed all that, there are now ads in the recipes and the app somehow just got worse. Now the screen doesn't stay on and the navigation is messed up, and always brings you back to the home screen. I usually don't like writing poor reviews but whatever they did to the app seems like a money grab at the expense of ruining a good app.

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.
