No Food Images?
Since the last update the app does not import the food image with the recipe.
No free version - just free trial then subscription!
Should say that up front!
Missing recipe
I’ve noticed on several of the recipes that it said it saved there’s really no information
Disappointed in update
I LOVED this app when I first installed it. Easy to use, easy to find recipes I loved, and everything imported seamlessly. I was happy to pay an annual fee. However, this new update you have to pay per import?!? what?!? 😩 yeah, not gonna do that. I'd rather take a screenshot and start keeping my own recipe book. So disappointed because I really did love the original. I understand you have to make money, but that on top of an annual fee is just too much. You're going to lose customers. Just like me.
Glitchy
I’ve not been off to a great start. I get error messages and don’t see my recipes. The import function sometimes mostly works and sometimes doesn’t work at all. For what I paid for this app, and I almost never pay for apps, I have been really disappointed.
Not Free
Not Free, you will get charged after 7 days
Unhappy
I am not sure what went wrong-this app was working beautifully for me and every time I try to import a recipe (usually from my camera roll), it says “uh oh, there was a problem”. Will likely cancel this app after my subscription expires. It needs to work or it is not worth it.
Such a great idea…until they charge you!
I saw that apple was providing FREE recipe storage! But it’s not free after a couple of weeks….
5 recipes A WEEK?
Free version isn’t worth it at all, Outrageous price deleted instantly 👍
Bad app to buy
I spent $39 on this app after about 20 recipes. I have to buy another subscription for recipe plus because I’ve reached my final amount of recipes. Don’t waste your money. It’s just a continuous money grab.
False Advertising
Not free. The ads lie.
Won’t save to app.
A lot lot of social media recipes do not load to this app? Don’t get this.
Not free
Every time I seen this ap it stated it was free. Only the download was free. You have to pay to actually use it. Very misleading.
False advertisement
Said this app was free now want to
charge a fee after I have saved so many recipes
charge a fee after I have saved so many recipes
Trying to scam
You can’t get past the screen offering free one week upgrade and I don’t want to do it.
No customer service
I have made two requests for support 4 days ago and have not received any response other than an automated acknowledgement that they received my email. I will be cancelling my subscription well before the end of the trial period.
not free!
they say it’s free. I know that there’s an add-on service where you can make it better but I don’t want that, but you can’t skip it. You have to sign up for a free trial and remember to cancel it later and this is misleading and dishonest of this company. If it’s free, give it to me for free I shouldn’t have to sign up for the free trial. I’m very disappointed.
SCAM
I did the 7 day trial. After the 7 days, they charged my card $39.99, instead of the $1.99 that they claimed it would be. BEWARE!!!!!!!!
Not saving the recipes
Not to happy that when I go to save a recipe it doesn’t actually save it then I lose it and can’t find it again.
Great but limited
I really love how useful and convenient this app COULD be, but it only lets you add 5 recipes before requires you pay for a subscription. With how I was hoping this would make saving the few recipes I could cook a little easier, I do not have the money to pay for something I could just take the time to write out myself. Could’ve been great though.
could be better
I wish it could take recipes from within the video instead of just the caption on tiktok, like how Mijo does for travel. and not nearly as important but i wish it made the thumbnail from the tiktok or a photo or something the photo in the recipe so we don’t manually have to add it
