   crashes. i spent so much time putting in recipes into this app i really love it and i love that it’s free but i cant even open the app anymore it just automatically crashes im really disappointed cause i was using this app constantly but now its of no use if anyone knows any way of fixing it please lmk😢

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   So many ads on the websites. So many ads on the website make the app glitchy. Terrible. I deleted it after a few recipes. So sad. What a waste of an app.

3. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Ads Galore. The app would be great if it wasn’t riddled with distracting and obfuscating ads. It’s like a Picasso painting of ads everywhere. Very tough to even enjoy recipes or follow what is going on in a recipe.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Bad app. App hard to use, was not able to get past all the bugs. Much better options out there, don't waste your time.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Can’t upload a new recipe. The icon just spins, I give up

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   No Method For Signup without Phone Number. At this day and age, any app developer should be aware that a phone number is, in some respects, more valuable than a social security number. Expecting users to fork over sensitive data without building any trust is outlandish and suspect at best. Apple and other OS platforms have provided methods for implementing secure account creation that also allow for anonymous account creation to obfuscate user data from collection methods. This has been in place for years, so there’s little reason for it to not be baked in to this app. Maybe there was no malicious intent, but after a certain point, the lack of implementation suggests use of dark pattern development.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Bad Start. You want my phone number before I’ve had a chance to even check it out. Too intrusive! Deleted…

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Looks great but can’t upload from the internet. Just downloaded the app and tried to upload my first internet link. But it just hangs until I close down the app. Very frustrating. Have emailed support.

9. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Super buggy. Great app, has so much potential. I love the community aspect and ability to browse popular recipes. BUT it is incredibly buggy, keeps quitting when I open it. Other times I cannot update recipes after saving them. Changes aren’t saved when I want to add certain recipes to multiple collections. These basic features need to be fixed in order for the app to be functional and useful.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashes. Multiple crashes with the app. I can’t even open it currently without it crashing. I really like the app itself, but if I can’t use it and it constantly crashes, it’s of no use to me. When the frequent crashes are fixed, I will change my review.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Frustrating app. The screen is so cluttered with ads you can’t find the buttons to navigate, let alone find the recipe itself. Which is sad because there looked to be some good recipes in it.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Just a bookmark manager. I thought this was going to import the recipe in some way but it must seems like a glorified bookmark manager? The first recipe I imported just seemed to open up the website within the app, adverts, links and all. What if the website removes the recipe? It will then be lost?

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No way to actually share recipes from chrome/safari…... Can’t actually add anything from the internet. Would have thought this was pretty basic functionality to add before launching the app, basically unusable without this. Design is cute etc though

14. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    iPad usage. Love the app but it’s not very iPad friendly .

15. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not there yet. Even using the app link I was not able to add my wife as a friend and had to search for her. Also the support makes you download mail it doesn’t work with your current mail app. Reminds me of an app that released before it was ready and doesn’t listen to feedback

16. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Just missing a few features!. This app would be near perfect if only they added an option to sort by tags in addition to collections. This is especially important to me since I cook seasonally. Instead of having to add one recipe to multiple relevant collections, I would love to be able to filter recipes from one collection by “fall - pasta - one pot” or something like that. Also, I think it’s necessary to be able to manually input some recipes added from links online for sites whose format is difficult to parse. It has been impossible for me to import recipes from some sites. Other than that I love the app!

17. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    great idea. lots of bugs. I was excited to try an app to store my online recipes instead of links on my browser or Tik Tok. However upon downloading this with a friend, she was unable to get out of the tutorial and I was able to get through. I am unable to delete recipes that were copied wrong from the link in any capacity. would really love to continue using the app if these were fixed.

18. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Too many ads. It seems they have suddenly increased the ads and they appear right in the middle of the recipes. You can’t seem to close many of them out so the app is becoming useless.

19. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Wish it isolated recipes from the source webpage. I like the concept, and how it turns the ingredients into a checklist/shopping list. But I wish it pulled the instructions out of the source website. Instead all it does is link to the original webpage, so you get all the ads and fluff before the recipe from the webpage. Also presumably if the source website ever took the recipe down, you’d lose it.

20. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    The truest free cookbook app. This is truly the only “free” app for your cookbook and recipes organizing needs. I love that I can either save my recipes from a different site or just write them myself. It does need a bit more development work, such as expanding the app to fit the entire screen for my iPad but other than that I think this is the best app.

21. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Love that it’s free to use!!. So helpful. The only app that’s truly free in this space and I really appreciate it. There are a couple things that other apps have that I wish I could have here like changing photos on published recipes or editing more easily if the creator didn’t put the recipe in the caption of the post. Etc

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Good but has some quirks. I like that I share Instagram recipes to the app. However, after the first 3 shared re was a long hesitation and the next 3 recipes did not show up. After closing and re-opening the app, they did show. One of the Instagram recipes I added did not have written ingredients. The ingredients were in the video. It would be nice to be able to add the ingredients to the written recipe instructions. Also, please add landscape mode for the iPad.

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    app is good. I want to introduce this app to my mother in law but the language is only in English. If it expands to other languages such as Spanish or French that’d be very helpful

24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Fun but could use improvements. I’m really enjoying the app! I do think the functionality could be improved, including removing any additional information from recipes pulled from the internet to leave just the recipe itself.

25. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great App lots of potential. I enjoy this app a lot. One improvement will be the option to re title the recipe. I save a lot from videos and it grabs the title of the video which may or may not explain what the recipe is. Once that comes this will be five stars.

26. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    No more bookmarks!. This is a great concept. Love being able to put all the links for recipes I use in to one app. Don’t have to go to bookmarks anymore, and it’s seamless to use. Not really in to the social/sharing aspect of the app, but I see how it could be fun if you have multiple friends on there. For now just a great way to keep all my recipes from the internet (and not a cookbook) in one place!

27. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Great app!. Great so far & easy to use and add recipes! Would be 5⭐️ if there are available widgets or a sort of home / dashboard that just tells you what meal plan or prep you have for the day!☺️

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great start - few tweaks needed. Such a bloomin good idea for an app! So handy to have all my recipes in one place with the credits still going to the original author! My only criticisms - I get a lot of recipes in the feed in a different language from different countries. Would be handy to have a filter option to be able to choose the location? When searching for recipes online I search for UK so the measurements and ingredients are what I can work with. Might be handy for vice versa too. Instagram posts - when using the search function or scrolling through the home page there’s so many good looking recipes but if they’re saved from Instagram you can’t view or save them without logging in to Instagram each time. I just scroll past them now as I don’t want to log in each time. Aside from that it’s a great app and I gets loads of meal inspiration 🤩

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Found a bug. Hi, love the app but it’s not allowing me to see what i’m writing on the “Instructions” section (specifically step 4 and on). There’s not enough scrolling space. It’s also a bit slow to update/delete collections… but maybe that’s just me.

30. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    Update suggestions. Hi, Can’t find where to delete some recipes from my albums. Also, I have lots of cookbooks and I would love to be able to upload photos of the recipes (without sharing them) so that it helps me when I create my menu.
