If it wasn’t subscription
Edit: removed another star for app size. Almost 400MB way is to much for virtually any app that is not a game or professional tool.
Response from developer
Hi there! Glad you find the quality great! We've spent a lot of effort on the app. We're a small team of 3 people, and the subscription model is the only sustainable business model for us. We're aware the app is on the larger side, the upside is that you can access all of the over thousand recipes without any internet connection. Best, Max.
