★★★★★ "The top five recipes that showed up when I searched for, "vegan" were chicken, beef, and pork recipes. That's a clear indication that the app isn't worth my time" - Kawawang Kowboy

I can't sign in. I hate to leave a bad review because I love all your video content, and I was so excited to explore this app, but I can't get past the sign in page. I have a subscription through the sidekick app, but when I tried to sign in on this app it just sits there. It doesn't say I entered the wrong password or anything. So disappointing, not to mention I'm paying for a subscription without being able to access half the content.
To complicating
I'd like to rate but I am having a problem even signing in! What's going on here?

Not worth the money. Had it for a month and I couldn't find one recipe that made me want to make it. Everything is either boring or pretentious. The app design could be better as well. Too minimalistic so it lacks some basic functionalities like filtering by time or dietary restrictions. The old books at least have some interesting food combinations but the new ones are basically Buzzfeed trash. Save your money and use proper cooking websites
I just download this app.i dont know why it does'nt work on my phone, even with VPN.
Can't even see the recipes after purchacing membership. Registered, put in my cc details and bought the membership. Clicked on recipes. It says "hey, wanna try it for free?". Uhmm, what? It offered me to buy a subscription. What the hell did I just purchased then??? Went into the website with same results. It seems that you need to buy one membership just to access the other section of the app to be aligible to purchase another membership. After 20 minutes of clicking I cancelled it alltogether
I thought I could buy a particular book and forever have it on my profile. I don't want a subscription and I don't see any other options.
Wont let me on
It crashes the moment I open either of the two free books. Which are the only ones I can afford. But I literally can't get far enough to read any of thr recipes. The app crashes immediately.
It won't open
The app won't open. I've reinstalled, rebooted, cleared the cache. Nothing.
Doesn't open..... Every time I try to open it it goes black and closed in a fraction of a second.
I use the monthly subscription, yet whenever i open the app, it tells me im not subscribed and wont allow me to see the full books. When i select refresh status after seeing that im subscribed it still does not work.
Love your stuff, hate the app. Nothing loads without taking 100 years. I could get the recipes faster by walking to their studio, fyi I live in southwest of USA.
I wish there was an option to buy digital versions of the cookbooks, to have access to through the app, rather than paying the monthly subscription. Some of your cookbooks are no longer in print (how we cook). I'm not going to use the packs app, and I'm unlikely to listen to the podcast, so I'm paying 4.99 a month to read maybe 2 or 3 cookbooks once a week. I appreciate you're a business, but this puts up a lot of barriers for your average customer.
