Broken
It worked flawlessly two weeks ago now it’s broken. Just canceled my subscription.
App not working
I actually have liked using this app, it within the last week I have been unable to open the app. It just keeps spinning…
Stashcook?
After filling out the survey it wants me to subscribe to “stashcook” for $30 a month. Not sure what this has to do with saving recipes from social media.
Bs
You have to pay to have the app
Really?? My entire life??
I don’t need a cookbook that once my entire life on file this is ridiculous. The old cookbook, before it was called stashcook was much better. My age group shouldn’t be required to use it. That’s nonsense. And now you charge for it? I’m deleting the app. This is ridiculous. Why couldn’t you have just left the old app the way it was? I’ve been using this app for years and now I can’t thanks.
Not actual recipe
The recipe that is saved does not match the recipe that you’re trying to save. It says that it’s AI enhanced. Therefore it is often a completely different recipe. Came back again continue to try to save recipes. Not a single recipe was the actual recipe that I viewed on the YouTube video. But whatever AI searched out using that name for the recipe so they are completely different than the one that you’re seeing.
Refund
I canceled my trial and was still charged for the year. I contacted Apple to request a refund and it got denied twice with no explanation. I just want my money back for an app I don’t use!
Free
Not sure about the free trail. Nothing shows the price or how long the trail lasts.
I want a refund.
I canceled my subscription December 1st. Tell me why it still charged me $30 December 8th for the yearly plan I wasn’t even subscribed to.
Absolute garbage of an app
This app hasn’t worked since I began paying - the only way I can get it to work is to delete it, reinstall it, then it works for a day. Save your money and look elsewhere.
False advertising
This description of “no charges and no membership” is a total lie. This actually costs money after a 7 day trial. Not sure why the developers couldn’t just be upfront about that from the get-go…
It isn’t free
I just downloaded this app, hopeful for an organized way to house all of my online recipes. Well, it’s only a free trial. They lure you in with th download being free then try to charge. Forget it, why would anyone pay for this?!? Print the recipe or write it down and put it in a recipe book.
Does not sync
Got this for my husband and I to use but we can’t get it to sync and I tried to log out and back in but now all my recipes are gone
Needed somewhere for recipes
I don’t wanna come off as stingy or whatever anyone will think I am for this, but I save recipes on TikTok and Instagram all the time so when I saw an ad on Instagram I thought why not it’ll help out. Yet they fail to tell you in the ad’s that you have to pay in order to use this app. You can download it for free then you get a free trial but once that trial is over you have to pay to continue to use the app. I wouldn’t he do made if I was TOLD in the AD beforehand that I had to pay. I just think it’s ridiculous that I had to fully download the app and see that I’m getting a free trial and having to pay for the app afterwards. Not the bet marketing skills for an app.
AI
Main feature I got it for does not work well. Scan instagram video and tons of wording is off and ingredient measurements (even tho all ingredients are in the video description.) currently do not recommend buying premium for this.
Sick of subscriptions
I’m really tired of every mildly useful app requiring a subscription. It makes you go through this whole quiz and nonsense before saying “we’ll let you try it for free” without even SAYING what the price is until after you’ve pressed the free trial button?
Seemed like a useful app but I probably won’t be using it due to my distaste for subscriptions and sneaky ways to get you to pay for them.

Can’t stash on iOS
I loved this app on my Android phone but stashing recipes doesn’t work from Chrome on iOS. And when I went into the App to send feedback, the feedback form wouldn’t work either. I know iOS makes things harder on devs but please go the extra mile to prevent these usability issues.
Issues
The app keeps crashing. It’s not easy to find someone to communicate with in order to fix it. Pretty disappointing so far. I would give it another review if someone would contact me to figure this out.
