Crashing

Dint even opened the app to access the recipes, yet it's crashing...

Buggy and unhelpful developers

This app was recommended to be by a fellow vegan and I really liked the free version however I wanted access to the complete library - so I subscribed. Unfortunately the app did not recognise my subscription. I tried the usual things like deleting and reinstalling the app, cancelling and resubscribing to the app.....

I contacted the developer, who said that the issue wasn't with them but that it was with Apple. I then contacted Apple who advised that all was ok their end (the subscription was valid). The developer has since then ignored my last four emails!

If you want a great recipe app (that allows you to select vegan, vegetarian etc in your dietary requirements) then use Yummly... Yummly is also free!

Purchased 1-year subscription

Purchased the app thinking it would make ease of access to recipes easier than searching the online website. Frustrated that it constantly crashes and disappointed with the recipes - there isn't anything special here I can't access for free via the website ("trending recipes" are the free ones posted!)

Love it!

I got this app and purchased the monthly subscription for only $2.99 - super cheap, especially when compared to the prices of some cookbooks on the market! The app is very easy to navigate and does not take a long time to load. The recipes are amazing! Will definitely be recommending this app to fellow vegan/vegetarian friends 😁

No crashing? Love the filter option!

This app is great, there is a clear layout of methods and ingredients and so many recipes to choose from! I love that there is a filter option to choose your dietary requirements, e.g gluten free. I have the free version so I cannot speak for the paid subscription, but I haven't experienced any crashing or glitches. The past reviews were probably left before an update so don't be put off by them! This is the quickest and easiest way for me to look up food ideas and the pictures shown all look amazing!

Scam

Paid for subscription, didn't give me the recipes. Emailed customer service, they replied once telling me to do the basic re-install/restore purchase routine. When I emailed saying that didn't work, I never heard back.

Love it

I will keep recommending this to people if they are looking to do food modifications. Whether it's GF,vegan,DF. Love the recipes

Far too expensive!

I'm sorry but I can't think of any 'app' that I pay for monthly.
Charge a one time fee and you'll get more subscribers.
Far too expensive.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We are a very small startup, working tirelessly to get information on sustainable food, vegan/allergy-friendly recipes and healthy living out there. We wish we could offer the app for free but the cost covers our app development, maintenance, employee salaries and fees. Our app has over 8000 recipes, in addition 12 new recipes are added every day (so you get value from it daily!) so its a very much like a magazine subscription. We also have amazing features like bookmarks, community, notes, 600+ search categories, meal plans and so much more. If you go through our reviews, the only bad / low reviews are from reviewers who are unhappy about paying for the app and it has greatly taken our ratings down :( For a tiny social good startup, reviews really make all the difference. If you look through the other reviews from people who have the app, 100% of them absolutely love it and get tremendous value from it. Let us know if you would be open to updating your review by clicking on the link below, as soon as it's updated we'll send you the free one-month subscription so you can test drive it yourself! :)

Stunning App

Unfortunately there are no free recipes. You can see what is needed to make the recipe but not how to actually make it without paying a monthly fee.

Don't bother

Very frustrating app in terms of buying subscriptions - they won't help you if you have problems. I've paid for my subscription - twice actually! - and it won't link to my login.
Rip off
