5/5Fantastic! Love this app!
Fantastic Site! I love the way all of the recipes are organized, especially within the meal plan options which include beautiful pictures of every meal. This feature just makes the recipes so very easy to choose from! In addition, the meal plan options are simple with really ingenious categories. There are just handful to choose from, so it’s an easy choice to make, but somehow there is a meal plan for almost anyone’s taste and dietary preference. It’s just so easy to navigate the site; and so beautifully designed! I love the fact that I can quickly pick a meal and add only the ingredients I need for that meal to my grocery list! Now i have all of my meals, with pictures included, organized and easily found so I no longer have to worry about meal planning whatsoever! All of the hard work is taken care of and I could choose a new meal to prepare every single day. No more getting stuck making the same meals over and over again! Thank you for this fantastic app! Truly brilliant!

4/5Would be 5 stars but…
I would rate this app with 5 stars but it has a couple annoying flaws. First, the extremely useful “I don’t eat” feature doesn’t actually work. Despite adding a few ingredients to that list in my profile, the daily recipes continue not just to include those ingredients, but to feature them as the main element to the recipe(s). It wouldn’t be a problem except with only 3 recipes offered per day, it becomes problematic when 2 of them regularly include an unwanted ingredient. Second, the app doesn’t seem to sync completely between devices even though I use the same login. For example, on my iPad it shows all 5 of the recipe collections I’ve made but on my phone it only shows 3, and the chosen meal plan doesn’t show up on both devices either. That said, I absolutely love the simplicity of the app (the parts that work) and the recipe layouts and photos. It’s really great that there is a portion calculator which automatically changes the ingredient quantities to match the number of portions wanted. I also really enjoy the variety of recipes offered. Although my husband and I are omnivores, I like being able to plan out the week with a majority of vegetarian dishes so I can limit our meat consumption.

5/5Great app for busy people who want honest homemade food!
This app is one of my favorite apps when it comes to introducing easy to make recipes from mostly scratch ingredients. The photography makes this cooking app feel like a visual treat when you are looking at what you can learn to create next. Here is what I love about the app: 1. Limits the recipes you see per day and week so you don’t spend too much time scrolling through the recipes just to feel overwhelmed. 2. The photography is beautiful and captivating. 3. The recipes are easy and mostly from scratch. Easy enough for a beginner and complex enough to keep a home expert fresh on technique and beautiful recipes. 4. The ability to automatically calculate the amount of ingredients needed within the app makes grocery shopping way easier. 5. Gathering your favorite recipes is easy to make into a weekly plan as well! I highly recommend this app to anyone but especially to those who want to improve their cooking skills or to add beautiful meals to their cooking library.

5/5so easy to use!!!
I love how we can put in our preferences and the app automatically ignores recipes with things we don’t like. I also really appreciate the ad ingredients to shopping list option, it makes it a lot easier to make a list and see what I still need. This app is amazing!!! I subscribed to the meal plan and I have NO REGRETS. My LIFE IS REVOLUTIONIZED. I’m not kidding. For one thing you can test it for a week! It has made me feel a lot healthier all with tasty recipes. I definitely recommend this app to anyone who needs that push towards a healthier lifestyle.

2/5Poorly developed app
This app is one that I wanted to love. I’ve given it a very long time to fix the horrendously bad glitches or errors in the app but it’s only gotten worse with time. Example: added items to favorite, then attempted to add to specific collections. Unfortunately collections are broken completely - after you save an item to collections it either may or may not be there and only maybe some of the time. Then to make it even worse this app is a privacy nightmare. Then add in the huge downgrade to the app when ai was added. I’ll never pay for an app that violates privacy or one that has ai knowingly. Ai destroys the planet, jobs, customer service, trust, humanity, ect. The biggest insult? Adding ai when the base app doesn’t even work - pathetic.

9.21.0
Ahoy Captain! Thanks for being on board with us! This update brings a few long-awaited improvements: - Random sorting is back in your favorites! Simply select it in the filter or give your phone a shake when your recipe collection is bursting at the seams. - Prices for daily and weekly recipes now reflect only the amount of each ingredient that actually makes it into the pot – not the full package. This gives you a more realistic cost estimate at a glance.(This update is currently available in Germany only. Would you like to see it in your country too? Let us know!) - Ingredients you add manually to the shopping list now land neatly in the right category instead of floating around uncategorized. - Your screen now stays awake while you cook. After all, your recipe shouldn’t doze off while you’re busy at the stove. Thanks for keeping such a sharp lookout! The bugs are gone, so nothing stands in the way of your next cooking session.
