  1. 5/5My new favorite app!

    I’ve been using Half Lemons for about two months now and I can’t express how much it has simplified my life. I meal plan about 3 days a week and the other 2-3 days I use Half Lemons. It has allowed me to experiment more in the kitchen than I have in years . The best part is every recipe I’ve tried is simple, delicious and one I probably would never would have thought of making on my own. I love that the app is getting new features every week or so. My most recent favorite it the saving of recipes! If I could ask for another feature it would be the ability to search for my ingredients in the pantry to make updating it a tiny bit easier. Thanks for creating such a beautiful and useful app!

  2. 5/5Straightforward and convenient

    How many times have you opened your refrigerator or pantry, looked over various ingredients and wondered why, with ALL THIS FOOD, you still had no idea where to begin? Well, now we have “Half Lemons” to the rescue. Simply enter the ingredients you have and would like to use in a dish, and the app will come up with a number of possibilities, one or more of which is sure to strike your fancy. Meal prep is logically and simply presented, and before you know it you’ll have something delicious to try. Great idea, and kudos to the developers.

  3. 5/5Exactly What I’ve Always Needed!

    This app is amazing. These days I try to limit trips to the grocery store, so I’m often trying to get creative with recipes I can make with exactly what I have on hand versus having to make a trip to the store. I LOVE that I can put in the ingredients I have on hand and the app will suggest several delicious recipes to choose from. This app is so easy to use and helps me get creative in the kitchen. Now that I’ve downloaded it I can’t live without it!

  4. 5/5Thank you for such an amazing app !!

    As a young person who loves to cook but struggles to find the best recipes based on what I have at home and already being so diet restricted... this app is absolutely perfect and a major time saver !! Not only is it so user friendly, but it brings up so many of the most amazingly delicious recipes with the most basic ingredients. On top of everything, this app is so aesthetically pleasing !! I absolutely LOVE it and I recommend it to everyone.... it’s a must have app on every device !

  5. 2/5Ruined by subscription model

    I was one of the earliest users of this app, and the app was one of my staples in the kitchen. However most of the features have become paid and I cannot even save my pantry for free anymore. I wish there was a way to revert the update and go back to the older version As such, the free version of this app is of no use anymore and I cannot recommend it to anyone. I understand that server costs need to be paid, but this shouldn’t be at the cost of features experienced by old users. Perhaps make new features paid but don’t ruin the original experience
