Is this app obsolete? I've tried several times to get it to work nothing happens. Just blank. Every tab is blank
Doesnt work without internet
Tons of great recipes - BUT - you need to get the shopping list feature like the Forks Over Knives app!!! Come on Doc, it's 2019!
The UI/UX needs serious help. Plus when you search it's black text on a black background so you can't even see what you are entering.
I've loved this app, but recently, every time I've tried try to use the search function, the app crashes.
I'm having issues that are really effecting my ability to use this wonderful app. Namely, right now my favorites list will not populate because it tells me to check my internet connection. My connection is good and the rest of the app is populating. I have also had ingredient lists not populate and I've had my favorite recipes list completely cleared. I just emailed the developer so I hope to get a good answer. If they fix these issues then I will gladly come update my rating to 5 stars!
Buggy ingredients list. Often no ingredients are shown. Can go to another recipe and then return and sometimes the ingredients will then display, but not always. The app is promising but needs work.
buggy ingredient lists often just stay blank. so you have to guess from the insyructions what they are. great idea but needs fixing to be usable
