Fabulous app!

This app is truly wonderful. Lots and lots of creative dishes, well organized and thought out, and all vegan, My sister and niece have been using this app for a while now and rave about it. I did have a small glitch with the subscription not being recognized on both my iPad and iPhone. I reached out to their tech support and they fixed the problem right away. These are tough times right now with this Covid ordeal and a company like Food Monster deserves our support.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback, as a tiny company working hard to bring this app to you, this means means the world to us! ☺️🙏🏽

Love the recipes but so many problems

Had this app since the very beginning. I love the recipes and it’s so easy to save the ones I want and find them when I need them. Yes the app does crash often but I noticed if you scroll slowly it won’t.
The reason for 3 stars is because of the new update. Now the app is saying I’m not subscribed when I am. There’s no way to restore or fix the issues. I’m hoping they fix this soon otherwise I’ll have to cancel completely.

Top shelf recipe App!

My favourite place to browse recipes of all time! Ever!

Whenever I’m wondering what to make for any given meal or snack, I pop into my bookmarks for some meal inspiration.

A massive inventory of unique recipes coming from chefs, bloggers and everyday cooks all over the world, and something new every day. I’ve found so many incredible cooks, recipes and ideas to tweak to suit my own diet and taste preferences, not to mention the endless links to contributors’ other recipes and blogs.

I am more than happy to pay the very small fee for this awesome App that is free of the Ads and pop-ups that online recipe searching runs wild with, and in turn, drives me insane. Frankly, I’m happy to be putting a bit of cash in someone’s pocket who is providing me with an excellent service that I value.
This App is user friendly, and delightfully creative and delicious. Try browsing the recipes for free and see for yourself.

Such a thoughtful feedback. This means the world to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Tons of problems, wish it worked better

This app has consistently many problems during my use over the last 1.5 years. When I emailed about a problem i was having with the app, it was not addressed for months. Today, I just updated the app, and it’s now telling me that my subscription expired more than a year ago and is asking me to pay again. I pay for the monthly subscription.
I’m vegan so really like having access to recipes, I just wish that this app worked better.

So much food to be made

I have had this app for a few years now. So feel I can honestly give a good opinion to the quality of the recipes and the app itself. I pay a yearly subscription which isn’t a lot like some apps. And honestly it’s been a real asset for me. I feel my way of looking at plant based foods has developed substantially because of this app. You can buy books on vegan food and they can all add up, yet the recipes I find in books bought just are not on the same par as this app. This app is full of so many various recipes. From breads, soups, meat replacements, how to make an omelette with no eggs, cheeses and cheese sauces, it goes on and on. Some ingredients I didn’t know existed until I found this app. I have one bug bear (it may of been changed as it just updated) but it would be nice to be able to leave feedback on recipes tried. So others can see if the recipes are easy and how good they rate. But otherwise I am absolutely in love with this app. It is my goto for finding new foods and just making good plant based dishes or even drinks. You can spend a bomb on lots of books or you can buy this app and find an ever increasing list of recipes. If you love plant based foods, and want to find how far you can go with ingredients, then this app is for you. I don’t mind paying that one books worth yearly subscription if it keeps such a well stocked app of recipes at my fingertips. Someone has to build this app and maintain it. I am grateful someone does just that

Thanks Food Monster for making food exciting :)

Thank you so much for your kind feedback, as a tiny company working hard to bring this app to you, this means means the world to us! ☺️🙏🏽 Also, that’s a great feature recommendation. We will let our developers know!

Disappointed - cancelled subscription

Spent a lot of time bookmarking recipes. Why can’t I add any of them to the meal planning section? There are very few options under just the meal planning section.
Can’t export recipes after paying for them. I like to add to Copy me that app for cooking. Asked how can I save the ones I already saved and paid for- can’t. Also lose everything you already paid for if you cancel the monthly subscription. Rip off.

Awesome app

This app is amazing and has helped me took on plant base meals without just the boring old salad!

I LOVE This App

I don’t live in America, preferring to live in interesting, developing nations instead, which means that I cannot get a lot of the items I’m used to buying in the States. As a result, I make all of my own vegan cheeses, mayo, aioli, margarine, tofu, and more, but I’m often living in countries where there are foods I’ve never seen before, don’t know how to prepare. This app allows me to explore an item, say, BEETS, where I am presented with lots of great recipes accompanied by the most amazing photos. I always get so hungry using this app.

The app is very well designed (thank goodness for that!), super easy to navigate, and even though I’m still just using the basic, free membership, I’m loving everything I find here. For only $20/year, hell yes I’m gonna subscribe.

Whomever designed this app should be applauded. You can see how hard they thought out every step, thinking of almost everything, making it easy and fun to explore. I just posted this app on one of my vegan FB groups. I can’t say enough about this app. It is masterfully easy, so pleasing to the eyes, and jam packed with great info.

SUGGESTION: A “Foods from around the world” would be grand. For example, I now live in Belize, where a popular root vegetable, cassava, is a staple. When I lived in Madagascar, we called it mangahazo (MAN-ga-HA-zoo), but prepared it totally differently. I’d love to see a section featuring these oft overlooked foodstuffs.

Collections don’t work

I would have given this 5 stars but the collections don’t work on the app. Huge faux pas. I read some other reviews and apparently people have been complaining about this for months and it still is t working.

Have to pay to see recipes

You have to subscribe to get the method - do not download
