★★★★★ "Paid subscription model rolled out after I put in a bunch of work setting up extra members and recipes within my recipe book, kinda annoying. Without a paid subscription, I don't think there is anything you can do with this app, like at all…" - Nick Askew

It's a 30 days trial 👎
Loved this app so much, Im really sad that it costs so much now.
90$ or a subscription is insane.
I used this a few months ago and checked my history, it was $1.69 aud per month. The subscription lapsed and I was trying to go back to it and now its $6.49 aud a month? that's not a small increase, almost a x4 increase since August. what a joke. I would have happily resubscribed at the original price
I have to highlight text in a photo so it can read the recipe? In 2025? I don't think so. I didn't go any further with this app. I just uninstalled it.
Paid subscription model rolled out after I put in a bunch of work setting up extra members and recipes within my recipe book, kinda annoying. Without a paid subscription, I don't think there is anything you can do with this app, like at all. I get devs need to make money but $82cad for a lifetime sub seems expensive considering the other free option is just a google doc or a physical notebook. Great app but it's the same cost as a AAA game. Would not recommend.
This was a great app until they put it behind a pay wall with no warning.
Awful bait and switch. Watch out for the fine print that they'll start charging you to import recipes
Way too expensive
Subscribed to the trial period after using the app which I really like. Easy to use so I purchased. Then there was an update. I had entered many recipes and after the update everything is gone. There's no backup. I contacted support but nothing's been done. I'll contact Google for a refund.
there is a bug when importing from Instagram and the copy paste with the character (&). mistypes it and turns it into amp;amp;. Very annoying.
