Doesn’t work
I don’t like that you have to pay before you can see anything on the app. I saw all of the stars and thought it would be a good app to help me plan my meals. I paid for the app. I was excited. It kept saying downloading your recipes. For 2 days that is all it says. The app doesn’t do anything! I had deleted and reinstalled it. Now I’m out money for absolutely nothing. Very frustrating and disappointing. If you like simply giving money to someone else and getting nothing back, this is the app for you!
Is this a gimmick??
I just downloaded the app and paid $1.99 and all I see is 1 smoothie recipe ! There are no other recipes available. It mentioned I can unlock 3 free recipes of I share the link with my friend
So disappointing. I thought this was a cookbook but in an app version

No recipes
I’ve had this app for about a week, and all it says is “downloading recipes.”
Are there seriously only 9 recipes per category??
I am hoping it’s a glitch but there are way more free recipes on her website. I was expecting so much more! Very disappointed
Doesn’t work
How are you gonna have a paid app that doesn’t even work? Recipes won’t load. Error every time I open it even tried deleting and downloading again… nada. Waste of money.
Piece of crap
What a piece of crap! I just purchased this app and I can’t even use it because it can’t download any recipes. Just keeps saying try again later. So then I went to the support area and it’s broken! Clicking the button to send the support request doesn’t even work. Then I went to the website and the website is down in the app section of the website…
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
Doesnt work
I bought the app and it keep saying they can’t find any recipes try later .... I’ve been trying for a while now a waste of $2
Incomplete access to recipes on website
I just purchased the app specifically to print a recipe for gluten free graham crackers on her website. Printing of recipes is blocked unless, apparently, one pays for the app. Well, the recipe is not to be found using the app.
Very unhappy, both with the greedy denial of printing (what’s the difference if you can read the recipe), and the incomplete recipe access once the subscription is paid.
I bought the initial book, but this ticks me off. Don’t look for any more purchases by me.
Update - there is no way to communicate directly with either the app developer or the chef. Also, there was no response to the review I posted. It’s fair to say that I would give NO stars for this app, and now for the chef. I’ll find vegan recipes and lifestyle support from someone with at least a passing interest in communicating with the folks who paid for her book and app! Shame on you.

Meh
I I liked this app at first but it is RARELY updated.
Fix the bugs please
The photos are well done ! I think the recipes are interesting. But It doesn’t matter which picture I clicked .. the same recipe show up so I’m frustrated. Please fix the bugs
Rarely new recipes
I thought by paying for the app I would get access to new, frequent recipes. Instead I might as well go to the website and save a few dollars.
Disappointed
Disappointed in the app. If you are look for “bowl” or “salad” ideas then sure it’s great but on average most people can figure out how to make a tasty salad or bowl. Was looking for more substantial recipes and was very disappointed with options. If I could get my 2 dollars back I would!
Really
Honestly I expected more. I expected there to be more recipes then a handful. I get 1.99 is a low price. But Pinterest is free is a million times better. I don’t feel like I will ever use this app. So bummed.
You pay for the app to get 10 recipes only
Pretty pictures, but... App is constantly going blank saying it can’t download recipes. And wait a minute. When all the recipes finally download, You’ve paid $1.99 for the app to get only 10 recipes, all of which are free on the website, and then you have to BUY more recipes?!?! Talk about a money-grab. Shameful
If you don’t agree to receive notifications you can’t access
Opened this app the first time and got a pop up to be sent “occasional notifications”. Only option was ok or no access to the app. After I’d already paid to purchase the app. No thanks! Deleted and not worth my time.
Cheap book but complicated and expensive recipes
I work 70 hours a week. This book is not practical for a single busy person.
Very Disappointed
I literally just bought this because of the great reviews. I am so disappointed by what I have gotten. I paid for an app that has no content. It says it cannot load the recipes that I just paid for. I feel like I was robbed. I was so excited for the recipes, and I thought the price was great for Angela’s recipes. I want my money back for this garbage app I wasted my money on! The creator’s should be ashamed of themselves.
Tons of issues
App has tons of issues. Recipes won’t load, filters don’t work, etc. waste of money.
Eh
Pretty much the website and the website is better. Really hopping this would be more.
Weird permissions
Stupid app uploaded data into my iCloud and I can’t for the life of me delete it. Why are the developers even making it connect to iCloud? Sketch
Waste of Money
For some reason, I am unable to see any recipes even though I paid for this app. There is no settings or account help in the app. All I can see is how to buy her books! I will spend more time trying to get this app to work than cooking any recipes!!! I wish I could give this 0 stars!!!!
Boring
Wish there were more recipes and updates to the app frequently. Regret buying this app.
No oil free items
A complete waste of money.
No new recipes
I don’t think there has been a new recipe added to the app in a year or two. Pretty disappointing.
Shiny finish but…
Product looks great but recipes are limited and compared to other apps, it doesn’t take advantage of videos or making it more easily understood. Acts as more of a traditional recipe book. But well, it’s not. It’s a cooking app and for the fancy art and glossy finish it doesn’t take into account that it should use more of medium it occupies.
Laborious
Laborious recipes and really hard to have ingredients and instructions on 2 different pages especially if using the app in your phone. Once made though pretty tasty.
Origin recipes have been deleted
I got this app when it first came out and while I don’t think it’s the most user friendly, it was an easy way to access her recipes. Now I just noted that the original recipes, including those I had marked as favorites are all gone. Guess they expect me to pay more to get them back? Not going to happen.
Some bugs need fixing
If I try to open a link for any recipe by this author, the app automatically opens whether that specific recipe is in the app or not. Usually the recipes I’ve tried to open aren’t in the app, and I have to copy and paste the link into my browser, and often there are syntax errors when doing this. I really enjoy the recipes, but these bugs really need to be fixed.
