It keeps creating the same recipe, and it’s the wrong one
See title. I uploaded five samples, and it generated the same Al Pastor taco recipe five times
doesn’t work
I have really tried to like this app but it has way too many issues for REQUIRING a subscription. I tried many different recipes from different platforms and no matter what the “recipes” that were created from the video/websites were all so wrong. I had to spend time just fixing the mistakes. So many competitors to choose from instead. I suggest making it so you do not have to have a subscription, and offer a free base app! Will be deleting after requesting a refund.
Doesn’t work and not free
Jus downloaded it and got stuck behind a paywall to sign up for an annual or monthly subscription. No way to skip or opt out for the free version. I ended up doing the free trial. I tried an Instagram and TikTok link and nothing loaded past I would say 95%. Then when I closed out of the app and tried to open it again it had logged me out. I tried to sign back in and select restore purchases but it said it had no record of my purchase when I had just signed up for the free trial. I selected the annual option again and then I got a message from Apple saying I was already in a trial and it let me back in. But I was still unable to link any social media links to it. It just wouldn’t fully load after several minutes. I cancelled the trail and I’m deleting this useless app.
Don’t get this app
Doesn’t let me sign in although I have already paid for app.
No free options
Says it has a free tier but locks you behind a paywall as soon as you download the app
usuable and buggy.
ridiculous that they immediately ask you to sign up for a paid plan when the app is completely unusable. when you try to add a recipe, the add button gets blocked by the iOS keyboard after you input into the text or link field. so you cannot press "add recipe" after you put in the information 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Paid but doesn’t work
I paid for this app as there was no free option and then it did not work. I tried 4 instagram recipes and all failed. There was a lot of bugs with the app.
Never able to create account
Have no idea if app works or not. Tried to set up account using Apple ID and could never get it to work. Didn’t have any issues with other apps.
Could be a fake app
Since Samsung changed the name, this company seems to be taking advantage of that. Once you create your account and password, it’s not possible to change it. Beware
Doesn’t Work
I downloaded the app and tried to save a recipe from instagram and it didn’t work. It seems like you also have only two free recipes and then you have to pay.
Free version is useless
I understand needing to have a price in order to fund the app, but there are so many other issues with this app that’s not worth having it in the first place.
I contacted customer support months ago and never heard back. They clearly didn’t care about my concern, which was so minor too.
The limit of two recipes for the free version makes there be no reason for it in the first place. Yes I get to try app out, but I used my first recipe just to figure out how the app works and that will never come back now. It may be easy to use, but limiting us so heavily doesn’t make people want to really give the app a try.
There are plenty of other apps that are free that provide these same features, I highly don’t recommend this app.

Free version is worthless
It let me upload 2 recipes and said I reached my limit unless I pay. Total garbage money grab
Can’t add recipes
There is no way to add recipes because the button is hidden by the keyboard and there is no way to get to it. So incredibly frustrating!
Waste of money
Update: First, you can’t save recipes from anywhere with this app. Basically it was Facebook and Instagram. The last several weeks it won’t even save from those. Constant glitching and nothing done by Support.
The app works occasionally on Facebook and Instagram but nothing else. I end up saving to my Pinterest account which is free and doesn’t glitch like Whisk. Took my money and disappeared. The app stopped working. Then it only works on Facebook or Instagram. Asked for help. No response. Disappointing waste of money.

Can never upload anything
This is a paid app and it absolutely never works. It doesn’t upload the videos and you can’t even change the pictures at times. It just constantly does not work!
Issues with creating recipes
I really like the app but the recipe creation is very frustrating. It takes numerous attempts to actually get it to create. I have the same experience whether using links, copy and paste, or even typing it in manually. Because of this I will likely start looking for an alternative app.
Crashing and Inaccuracies
The app won’t keep me logged in long enough to let me use my recipes! It keeps having me log in over and over and I can’t use it anymore. I was really excited about this app and I was going to do the 1 year subscription, but I’m glad I didn’t. I noticed the recipe saved by the app isn’t accurate to the original recipe I put in… it will leave out ingredients or even substitute ingredients to something else. I had a recipe that had an optional glaze made from butter and cinnamon and the app replaced it with milk and powdered sugar.
Great, if it works
When it works, it's great. There is no help or support on the app. To get help, I have to go to Instagram and message them. They resolved the problem yesterday, and today I have the same problem: nothing loads. I am paying a monthly subscription fee. I am disappointed and frustrated.
Too expensive
Only gives you 3 free recipes then you have a monthly fee. Otherwise app is pretty perfect. I’d pay a one time fee but not monthly
The free version only allows 2recipes
I am so sick of the monthly subscription model. If you download this app and do not want to pay every month or annually, you can only store three recipes. It makes it completely useless. I understand developers need to make money and while I don’t enjoy ads, I do put up with them for apps that I don’t pay for. This app doesn’t even give you that option. It’s very disappointing because I love the design and the concept behind this app, but I am not willing to add another subscription to my monthly budget. Why can’t we buy a lifetime subscription?
I’m updating to add a star because the developers team is responsive to reviews. And they didn’t make the app economy the way it is. I still believe it would be better to offer a lifetime membership option, rather than only a subscription option.

Doesn’t work
I tried importing the link from 2 different Facebook cooking videos, both popped up halfway through the “Download” and said unable. This was of course the free version. Might be their way of making you upgrade for the app to even work. Also no option for manually adding your own.
