★★★★★ "Charged me for free trial. A free trial was advertised but it immediately charged me for a full year. Ridiculous and I was unable to get a refund. Do not download this app unless you’d like to be charged $60+ dollars fraudulently" - kcfff123

I loved this app!
Suddenly it no longer works and is being blocked from doing what I paid for and I’ve only had the app a few weeks.
Won’t even let me create an account
Won’t even let me create an account, so useless
Fix Your App!!!
It hasn’t been working for over a week! Fix it! It will not paste or import ANY videos.
Not Good.
At first glance, it seemed like a great way to archive recipes from social media. But after a few months of using it, the app has become increasingly slow, the original videos are cut off and stop abruptly, and more recently adding new recipes has stopped working while the site appears to be experiencing an outage. In other words, nothing works anymore.
Charged me for free trial
A free trial was advertised but it immediately charged me for a full year. Ridiculous and I was unable to get a refund. Do not download this app unless you’d like to be charged $60+ dollars fraudulently
Sloppy and not useful
I’ve barely used the app but enough to see how it worked. Yes it pulled the video in and transcribed it but did an awful job at it and made the ingredient list painfully long with duplicates and different amounts to where it’s not usable. Would recommend trying something else or at least don’t pay for this, it’s terrible!
AI garbage. Pulls Wrong Information
Honeydew uses AI to recreate recipes from videos, usually very incorrectly. Don’t fall for it.
What?
You’re not going to condition me to give you stars. Completely disappointed.
BUYER BEWARE!
At first this looked like a comparable product to another RECIPE organizer for ME. But a little less, so I bought it after a weeks trial. There was a glitch to which I contacted the developer where when you’re downloading one recipe and then go back to look at more an attempt to download it behind the first it won’t acknowledge the second attempt forcing you to go back to the website and start the process over by clicking forward to then select honeydew and finish. The developer said that shouldn’t happen, duh!!! but I figured they would make it right. Then the most aggravating part which is why you should be AWARE BEFORE PURCHASING is when I paid for the license subscription all of my 100+ recipes saved during the trial, disappeared and the lead developer, Chris H. has simply ignored me. It’s a very low rated app and it doesn’t even show up when you do searches for things that claims it can do!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!

Shady billing
Very shady, you sign in with Google or Apple, then very last page it shares the trial is only 72 hours. Super shady… naturally it is incredibly difficult to figure out how to cancel. Overall it is simply bait and switch
Stops importing
Full subscription paid. Worked a month or so then errors continuously
Ai edit is a doughnut
I showed a pic of my signature dish, gave it very clear technique and instructions on how to make it. And it still did not return the correct recipe.
