1. 3/5App could use an upgrade…

   I am still a fairly new HF user, and I haven’t had a “bad” experience-yet. I have noticed that the app is not very user friendly. They give you “rewards” but the is no dedicated section or tab to click on to view them. When you finally find where to view them you just get the option to “learn more” or “activate rewards.” You cannot actually view them or definitively add them to a box. Mine are already activated but they do not automatically sync to the next box, or any box for that matter. I had a free vanilla cheesecake to add to an order but every week I try to use it, they don’t even offer it as a dessert! If you try to review your discounts or rewards while selecting your meals, good luck. You have to back alllll the way out and “discard” any changes instead of just being able to add the reward in the same spot you choose your meals. I feel the the “rewards” are a total scam and I have yet to actually redeem one. Once my 15 free meal discount is up, I will probably cancel the service as it will be too expensive to be justified. I only order 4 meals a week, with a free breakfast add on (which is really just a snack, not a meal) and it is just under $100. Once the discount is up it will be well over that. I know the convenience of it being delivered adds value but the portions are too small to consider this a deal over regular grocery shopping.

2. 5/5Really enjoying it

   I shopped around with different food delivery services and these are the things I like best about Hello Fresh: the recipe cards are clear and fun to read and use. The app has a cool vibe. The recipes use a lot of ingredients and are tasty. There’s a huge selection each week to choose from. It’s easy to skip a week if you don’t like anything. It’s also easy change the pre-selected meals, or to add or subtract meals. Some meals are customizable— some substitutions are free, while other upgraded ingredients or extras costs a little more. It’s still nice to have these options. I have not had any issues with customer service. One week there as a problem with my delivery (they use a company for this) and I didn’t get my box and they couldn’t send a replacement. As someone else has mentioned, part of the refund is a credit toward future boxes, at the end of the discount promo period. I called and said I wanted the whole refund now and the guy was super nice and credited my credit card right away, no big deal. Good customer service. Lastly, it is kind of pricey—but you get convenience for your money. Buying all those ingredients individually can add up and you would end up with lots of excess stuff. Besides, it’s a great way to try different dishes and learn how to cook things you might not have before. I’m enjoying the service.

3. 5/5Was skeptical, now I love it

   I didn’t expect to like hello fresh as much as I do, I’ve never been able to cook my whole life though and always wanted to try. I got some kind of birthday promotion through a second party app and gave it a shot. It’s a rough first couple weeks when you don’t know what you like or how to prepare certain foods but then when you figure out your preferences and learn how to use the app, it becomes a lot of fun. I love how much easier it is to measure things out since things are pre portioned, I love that it comes with recipe cards, which I prefer to use, but when you’re missing one or don’t have them with you then you can save all your favorite stuff in the app to take anywhere, which helped a lot when I had to have an emergency surgery and my parents brought some of the bags I ordered to their place. I just cooked my stuff there with my phone. Not to mention when I had to go to the ER, my food was still cold enough to eat and I looked it up and the boxes last up to 48 hours after they’re sent here?? I think that’s so awesome. I love the customer service too, when my box was delivered a block down from my place I spoke to somebody who waited to make sure I found it then gave me $20 in credits for the inconvenience. Was so respectful too, I love hello fresh it’s helped me out a lot!

4. 5/5This has changed my life!!

   I started using Hello Fresh two months ago, and I finally enjoy cooking! Having everything there with the perfect amount of everything is a game changer. My boyfriend is happily serving as my guinea pig. He has always loved my cooking, but this has elevated me to “chef” status! One day he said, “I hate to put you to so much trouble. Maybe we should cut back.” I almost cried and surprised myself when I begged him, “Please don’t take this away from me. It’s the most fun I’ve had in years and is the highlight of my day.” Now he helps pick out the meals, and we alternate between my house and his. I don't have to stand in the kitchen and agonize about what to put together or pick up fast food out of desperation. I was getting tired of Chinese or Pizza. We eat at the table every time and have grown so much closer since we don’t sit with plate in hand in front of the TV. Last night we sat and talked and laughed for two hours at the table. I’m not exaggerating when I say this has brought us closer. My grocery bill is much less than before, too. I love to come home from work on Thursday and see that box on my front porch! Going out to eat once a week is more enjoyable, too. Especially when a simple meal out costs more than three meals with HelloFresh. We tried HomeChef for a couple of weeks, but we both feel that HelloFresh is better. I’m thrilled to see some of our favorites coming back to the lineup. Thank you, HelloFresh for changing my life for the better.

5. 5/5App Is Streamlined and Sophisticated

   I never review apps. I was so impressed with this app that I wanted to share my experience. The app was surprisingly streamlined and exceedingly easy to use. I am able to quickly and easily manage, pause, or change my weekly deliveries. It is simple to update my menu selections week by week. I like that it is not difficult to pause or cancel your deliveries as needed; unlike with other companies, it is very transparent and there are no hoops to jump through. My favorite feature is the cookbook. You can save the recipes that you like into the cookbook for reference again in the future, or if you loose the recipe card that arrives with the delivery. This way, you can make the recipe again, even on your own if you are no longer having food delivered. You are able to select the number of servings you want to make and the ingredients automatically adjust. The ingredients are shown by picture and title in an easy to follow format. The app walks you through the recipe in a user friendly fashion that is far easier to follow as compared to googling a recipe and scrolling through some blog to a confusing, difficult to follow recipe. Without discussing Hello Fresh's ingredients, delivery, and recipes (all of which I am very pleased with), I highly recommend the app itself to customers wanting to get the most out of their subscription.
