App didn't work despite way too much time on it. Log in (it acknowledges I'm logged in) and it still won't take you to the recipes, so far it asks various things, like do I want to continue my free trial (what free trial?) and do I want to buy a description (another one?). Anyway, annoying. I'll just keep logging in on my computer and not using it when that's not around.

The recipes are useful, and it's one of the better recipe apps available for Android. However, much like some other NYT subscriptions, it is very difficult to cancel. You are required to call Customer Service or have a long online chat, and they will try to talk you out of it. It reminds me of trying to cancel Comcast. (After a long chat with a customer service rep, NYTC kept me on by cutting my subscription price in half for a year. Pretty sweet deal.)

Excellent Resource. I am a long-time subscriber to the NYT, so I had no problem with access. The recipes are excellent if a bit awkward to find. The cooking skill level is properly assessed but you need some cooking skills to do the easy level. I personally would like the food analysis breakdown, calories, fat, sodium, etc, but its a minor drawback. Very worthwhile.
