1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Free Version Lame. You have to buy the paid version to get access to most of the recipes. Any recipe that piqued my interest was locked.

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

   Found Animal Ingredient recipes.. uninstalling*. No stars... Found recipes that call for animal products.. people are confused in life as it is to come here looking for “vegan” recipes and find animal based ones..

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Pay for app. Extremely limited availability to anything without purchasing the app.

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

   Hardly any recipes. Most are locked, meaning you must pay to upgrade the app and get them. Also, poor quality food photography. Much better food apps out there.

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Just charge for the app. Limited recipes, very few available free. Must upgrade for any decent recipes.

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

   Too few recipes. They need more recipes if they want you to upgrade

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

   Doesn't work. No

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

   Doesn't work at all. This all seems pretty cool and I would like to try it out but the app won't even open, starts ups then crashes I'm using iOS 9 on an iPhone 6 Plus please update this issue...

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

   Poorly represented!. I downloaded this and started to review and then I deleted this app. It turns out that you don't get all the recipes that it says unless you upgrade to the Pro version for an additional $2.99. Every 2nd or 3rd recipe that you click on you get a pop up box to sell you the upgraded version. Either offer the full version at full price or get out of the "app market". Don't scam people.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Bbf87. Have to pay for most of the recipes

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Irritating. A free download sure, but the really good looking recipes are locked. So to get them you have to pay for it. Not worth it.

12. ★★★★★accessibility and assistive-technology issues

    Difficult to read, text not resizable. It's not good because the app doesn't respect "dark mode" or text size and the text cannot be enlarged. A website would be just as fine if not better than this.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Pay for Premium Recipes ??? Bad. I just downloaded this app & tried to review a few recipes; but couldn’t. Then saw they were “locked.” You must pay for the premium recipes!! False advertising. And no nutritional info — poor app.

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

    Nice, user friendly app. Nice app. But you get few recipes and have to buy the rest. The recipes seem pretty simple and easy to make.

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Too many locked recipes. I don’t see why you bother locking your recipes for in app purchases...I can just google search the recipe title and find 10 other blogs with the same recipe 🤷‍♂️ good app, lots of great recipe ideas, but I can’t justify paying for something that’s free in abundance other places.

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

    Locked recipes. Upon purchasing the app I was really excited to begin what I was hoping to be a new life style. As I’m going through the recipes I’m thinking I can do this and then I get to the locked recipes and find that if I’d like access to the recipes that I’m mostly interested in I need to pay again???? Why do I have to pay again ? For better recipes of course. So very frustrating and a bit disappointing.

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

    Print is too small. Hard for me to see the small faint print

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

    No calorie count for the recipes. The app would be way more helpful with a calorie count for the items

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

    Not worth it. Not enough recipes for a vegetarian lifestyle

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Could Be Ok.... While the app is ok, there's really only like 20 recipes you can actually get without upgrading to the pro version. They'll show you over 100 recipes, but there's a lock on each of them that asks you to pay for the recipe. I can probably find more than 20 recipes online in a short period of time than worry about sifting through what recipes are actually available to me and getting spammed with purchase requests.

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Pretty...and pretty useless. Great interface. Beautiful photos. Neatly organized by diet and/or meal and each recipe appropriately labeled according to dietary restrictions. But most recipes require you to pay $2.99 (which I regrettably did). Then I realized paying only got me a SIGNIFICANTLY small amount of recipes compared to other recipe apps where you can add filters like GF, Vegan and get hundreds of recipes. Am I limited to those recipes until another update is released? Also useless feature on this app is the scrolling "dancing" ingredients list. Much more functional if it was word wrapped. Overall unimpressed. Everyone download Yummly instead.

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

    Not amazing. This app charges you $2-3 for many of the yummy recipes even after you get the app! Nothing amazing. Just google search food blogs online! Total waste.

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

    Great, but.... So the reason I gave this two stars is because they have a recipe which calls for the use of gelatin. Now any good vegetarian or vegan knows that all traditional gelatin is made from the collagen derived from animal byproducts. This recipe either needs to be reworked to use a vegan gelatin substitute or removed because it is misleading. Other than that, I quite like the app.

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

    Free version limited. As free apps go, this has only a limited number of recipes compared to others.

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

    could be better. please update to include calories per serving & breakdown of proteins, fats, carbs, etc!

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

    Missing the mark. This app lacks variety and passion

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

    So close to being great. This is a really good app, and I want to give it 5 stars, but I find it clumsy and frustrating to navigate. If they can improve the usability, eliminating the times where I seem to be stuck without an option or menu to get off the screen I am on, then this would be a five star, great app. For reference, I am on an iPhone. Maybe this issue is specific to iOS only.

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

    Great but not enough recipes. I would have given 5 stars but there’s not a lot of recipes

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

    Subscribe. I hate how in order to save a recipe you have to subscribe and pay money. I love the recipes but it’s just not convenient.

30. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Good. The app is pretty good however you have to pay for the really good recipes.
