Food Monster User Reviews

Top reviews

Just google

Reading over the reviews from the past few years, I installed the app thinking things might have changed. As described elsewhere, the app has beautiful pics and inspiring recipe titles but you have to subscribe to access the preparation notes. I’ll just keep googling my favourite sites. Uninstalled.

Happy Earth Day! The free ad-supported version of the app (with in app purchases) just went live today! We think you will like it 🤞😊

Unable to preview

The app forced you to login or subscribe before being able to view anything. Interested in what the meal plans look like? Sign up /subscribe. Sorry, I won’t waste my time doing that if I can’t even see if what you’re offering is worth my time. Please work out your sales pitch.

Frustrating, recipes need reviewed or tested before they are posted.

App would shut down at times. Seems like every recipe I had tried to make had ingredient/s missing or steps missing or out of order, unclear. Very frustrating. Forget asking any questions in the comments section, they went unanswered. If you want a variety of recipe ideas without clear instructions, they do have that. Someone needs to review the recipes or test before posting!

Slow and clumsy app

I found some good recipes on the app and they are well presented and easy to follow (except that they are all in US measurements and the conversion to cups is a pain!)

My issue was not with the content, but with the presentation. The app was slow to load and move around, plus it was clumsy and disorganised to find what you wanted.

Impossible to unsubscribe.

You cannot unsubscribe. They will take your £1.49 for ever, regardless of how you try to unsubscribe. iTunes don’t respond to complaints. Thieves.

Has potential but falls short

The concept is great but the app just doesn’t function correctly. It’s constantly reloading as you scroll through the recipes. It will then freeze and shut off. You never get to go through the recipes bc it will keep happening as soon as you start scrolling. Also, on the majority of recipes I did get to click on, it doesn’t provide you with the nutrition information. There’s no breakdown available which is the main reason you pay for a subscription.

Chocolate cheese cske

Brilliant I love it

Paywall

Upon trying to scroll through the featured items after downloading, it kept pausing to load, skipping back up to earlier recipes, and was unresponsive at times.

When I finally found a recipe I liked the preparation instructions were locked behind a paywall along with nutrition and serving size information. There are far better vegan recipes apps out there, many without a paywall.

Search function...

Wow, who knew that the search function can’t spell? Type in sugar free carrot cake, no results found, go to collections, there it is. Try to open collections after saving it, no go. Seems this should be very basic.
What does squash, bean and kale have to do with carrot cake? Yummy? I love squash, beans and kale, just not in my carrot cake.
Let’s get it together...
