A+++ Content B- Delivery
Gronda has excellent content from extremely talented chefs. However some of the features are buggy and UX is not as intuitive as it could be. My main gripes are that it’s really difficult to watch the masterclasses because there’s no easy way to save the class to your library and continue where you left off. The video quality during streaming is also poor and the audio often goes mute if you put the app in the background and then reopen it.
I also think the app is trying to do too many things at once. Originally it seemed like Instagram for recipes, but it’s also kind of like a LinkedIn for chefs and a Masterclass and Pinterest for products. Those are all great ideas on their own but maybe too much for one app to do successfully. In my opinion they should focus on being a really great learning resource for chefs and nail the Instagram for recipes/masterclass portion rather than trying to also be LinkedIn for chefs, but maybe their professional chefs feel differently and want a way to be discovered. I am a home cook just trying to learn so all those features are just white noise to me. Overall the app has a ton of great content and ideas but doesn’t really excel in usability. I think the app could benefit from listening to its users and polishing its core features and UX
