Change to a paid app in the App Store
Before you can explore anything in the app, you have to subscribe to an auto-renewing payment plan. I have no idea how the app works or if it's worth the money since that's not an option. This is pretty deceptive making it "free" from the App Store
★★★★ morgang48 10/30/2019 v1.3.9
I don’t appreciate the tactics
Free for a week but you have to sign up to see anything. No.
★★★★ Elguapo1218 10/4/2019 v1.3.9
Several Non-vegetarian recipes
Under the headings of vegetarian chili recipes, there were several non-vegetarian recipes, some with beef, some with chicken, at least one with pork.
I looked for a way to contact the developer from the app, but couldn’t find it, so I’m leaving this review, hoping this issue gets addressed
★★★★ Christiann96 9/30/2019 v1.3.9
Immediately uninstalled
I thought the whole marketing technique of “sign up and give us all your information” and then “oh by the way you have to pay to use anything” tactic was over. Apparently not.
I gave them my name, email, body weight, and age, and was ready to look at some recipes. I was suddenly hit with a “Try free for a week!” button and had access to nothing. If it costs anything to use the app, just make it up front and charge to download the app. Please don’t make me go through the process of putting in all my information to find out it’s not free.
I understand app developers need to make money, but please don’t do it this way. Make premium features/recipes or something.
★★★★ ssohin94 5/4/2019 v1.3.9
Poor UI, ported from Android, forced subscription
They don’t let you use the app unless you subscribe to the $9.99 a month plan. The ui is crappy and it’s a buggy experience overall. It’s laughable how they think they deserve $9.99 a month. I’d give zero stars if I could.
★★★★ Javelezusmc 6/16/2018 v1.3.8
Not worth it!
This app has limited vegetarian recipes, terrible photos of the food, a bad interface and is insanely overpriced. I felt insulted after I downloaded it. Garbage!
★★★★ DB in SC 9/21/2017 v1.3.8
Limited
One recipe a day unless you subscribe to the monthly plan of $9.99. Also does not list protein, carb and fat grams. Very limited. Not worth the $$.
★★★★ Cassaie3 6/10/2017 v1.3.7
Scam
You only get 4 dinner recipes free, the rest is $4.99/month!!
★★★★ Kulwick 3/13/2017 v1.3.7
Scam you only get 4 recipes
Don't bother installing. You'll have to pay to get more than 4 recipes
★★★★ Conlet55 12/20/2015 v1.3.5
Gimmick to buy app
They need more free recipes if they want you to buy app
★★★★ Shakahlala 3/5/2015 v1.3.3
Bad app
Recipes cost money
