nice to learn
2026: all my receipts have disappeared. lowered to a 1 star rating 2023: slowly added new recipes. 2022: Love that I can add my personal receipt and photos. Recently bught a new phone, the ap transferred but not all my receipts and photos. I didn't realized I had to backup, not tech savy. Totally bummed.
I love this app. I do not follow recipes but this allows me to keep track of ingredients for food I create that I like. changed my mind. I was forced to update and all recipes I created disappeared. NOT HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!
Happily uninstalled. Free version gives you ads even after the obligatory initial ad. Pricey yearly subscription instead of one-time purchase?! No thanks. Found a better app instead.
I used to like this app but the ads have become so aggressive. full screen ads that you can't click out of. now I will painstakingly move all my recipes over to a different app
I've had this app for years. I recently tried to add it to a new phone and it's not restoring my purchase and it keeps crashing when I try and click on help to send an email to try and get it fixed. If I could get my purchase and recipes restored, I'd give this app 5 stars, but what good is the app if it doesn't work?! Super frustrating!
All my recipes have disappeared. I used this app, and after I changed my mobile, all recipes disappeared.
ALL of my recipes were deleted. ive competely lost some really great recipes that I cant recover. better to just use paper versions to prevent your favorite recipes from just disappearing. and no customer support available to assist for recovery. this is just lazy. the point of thr app is to save them in a place to reduce taking up space on your phone so why would I back everything up on my phone again as suggested in the help section? just stupid. major regrets and disappointment
nothing but ads can't even get to recipes. wants subscription in order to read cooking directions.
