Not worth it
The app is unorganized . It’s difficult / confusing to use . The recipes are also not that good . I forgot to cancel after 7 days .

Had issues trying to unsubscribe. No obvious cancel button after following app’s provided instructions on how to cancel. Frustrating . . .

Disappointed
Just saw this app on IG, where it says it’s free only to find out most of the recipes are locked. Very disappointing. I’ll be deleting this app.
Cannot open app. App Crashes
I cannot use the app for over a year now. The app crashes when opening… I update the app when ever an update is available and still the issue is not fixed. I recently got a new iPhone 14 Pro and still the problem exists. Maybe it’s an account issue? Please resolve this so I can use the app.
Expensive
Expensive for meal planning you can get for free and will take your last cent
Buggy, gives me nuts and meat when I’m vegetarian and allergic
Very buggy
Doesn’t work
Downloaded the app. Will only allow one to look at about 3-4 recipes. Tried to create an account. It wouldn’t let me sign. Claimed my sign-in was wrong even though I used the sign-in I created minutes earlier. I didn’t opt for the Meal Planner. Perhaps that’s why it refused to recognize my sign-in? I’ll be deleting the app.
You can not choose
You can not choose recipes that you want they give u 3 that are vegan. I hate vegan. I have allergies to these recipes and I checked it off in the beginning of the application. Poorly written and designed
Disappointed
Saw this app on an iPad in a store and thought it might be worth it. I registered and checked the eat anything in the settings and I still get mostly vegetarian recipes. Very disappointed.
Crashing
Not sure what is happening but it keeps crashing. I can’t even open it anymore.
Poorly developed app
This app is one that I wanted to love. I’ve given it a very long time to fix the horrendously bad glitches or errors in the app but it’s only gotten worse with time. Example: added items to favorite, then attempted to add to specific collections. Unfortunately collections are broken completely - after you save an item to collections it either may or may not be there and only maybe some of the time. Then to make it even worse this app is a privacy nightmare. Then add in the huge downgrade to the app when ai was added. I’ll never pay for an app that violates privacy or one that has ai knowingly. Ai destroys the planet, jobs, customer service, trust, humanity, ect. The biggest insult? Adding ai when the base app doesn’t even work - pathetic.
Beautiful App but Expensive Recipes
I really wanted to like this app; it’s beautiful and easy to use. However, the app really, really wants you to just choose a meal plan that it made based on your criteria instead of letting you choose from a list recipes. Plus, the recipes that you can find tend to be very…fancy. I don’t know about you, but I don’t tend to have pumpernickel bread, fancy cheeses, or German beer laying around just to make a single meal. If they add more simple recipes and let you actually see them all without having to choose a meal plan, I’ll be back.
App needs updating
Couldn't navigate, froze with my up to date iOS
Wow
Great idea for an app. However I’m deleting it because only being able to see 3 recipes a day is ridiculous
Still no way to search your favorite recipes
It's very disappointing that the app incentivizes you to save favorites but there is no way to actually search them. Not even categorize them at all, plus the sort order changes randomly every time you open it.
