Something fishy going on here

Six months ago, there was a forced upgrade of this app - the old version was immediately broken/disabled so you had to upgrade. Ive been waiting to hear an explanation as to why this was necessary, but Im done waiting. Im deleting the app after writing this review.

I can only think of two plausible explanations for why such a forced upgrade would occur: 1) a major security breach or weakness in the app that exposed personal data to hackers; or 2) an incompetent design team who feels its ok to push out major breaking changes with no warning, transition period, or explanation.

Given the complete lack of info from the developer, I think its only prudent to act on the worst case assumption that your personal info was compromised and make sure you reset your password for any accounts where you shared the same password as your Epicurious account. (Yeah, we all know better than to share passwords in the first place, but laziness/convenience frequently trumps prudence.)

Id be happy to revise my opinion as soon as the app developer explains what the forced upgrade was all about, but Im not holding my breath at this point. My advice: find a different app written by a more responsible developer.

Help me choose a nickname about Epicurious, v5.0
