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

Laggy & crashes phone

Please god fix this horribly optimized app! After 10 minutes on it or so it starts to lag horribly and freeze to the point where I can’t even swipe up to go to my Home Screen (iPhone) or change apps, and when I can do that, it takes 5-10 seconds to register, then lags horribly when I’m trying to click on another app or swipe up to close this app. Often times if I try and turn my phone on standby (click power button once) it will sit there frozen not working and then all of a sudden crash, multiple actions flash across my screen at once, and the phone goes on standby. I have fully updated everything. It’s a cool app but my god fire your developers for iPhone please!

Cool but buggy

Very cool app, love the free daily creation, however it makes my phone SO laggy after only a few minutes of using it. Eventually it just freezes and crashes or won’t allow me to do anything but restart my phone. So that being fixed would be nice.

Great idea, poor execution

I was really excited to try the app and it’s annoying how you’re immediately paywalled and forced to commit to a “free” trial where you pay $100 after 1 week. The app is full of bugs and quits constantly. Recipes don’t save, videos don’t load. Overall I don’t think it’s worth paying for. If it was free with ads, I think I would pay to remove the ads but I wouldn’t pay real money for access to recipes when Google exists and most of the recipes you find elsewhere.

Hi, sorry to hear that you had such an unpleasant situation or experience with the app. Our team is constantly making improvements and bug fixes to the app. We have many highly skilled chefs who put a lot of effort and love into the recipes and videos. We understand that the app is not for everyone, especially if you are a beginner in cooking. If you need help or have constructive feedback for us, feel free to write to us at info@gronda.com.

The app crash all the time

The app is really impressive in its content. but the app crashes all the time, which makes its use undynamic and stressful. When the app closes abruptly, you can't go back to where you were and you have to go back to search for what you were looking at, obviously there is a high chance that the app will close again. I'm a pro member, and I find this problem quite irritating and frustrating.

BEST APP FOR PROFESSIONAL CHEFS

After a long time I found out, an app which connects professional chefs to share their work with each and learn from each other. 5star for everything. Love this app.

Hi Afnanalyy, thanks a lot for writing such a nice review. We are happy to hear that you like the app! :) Your Gronda Team

Basically useless

Almost all of the content is restricted to Pro. Anything you do find that isn’t Pro, you click on it and you can’t even see the recipe. Furthermore, when you first download the app, they try to guide you through signing up for a free trial of Pro which will charge you 99 dollars after a week, and they try to obfuscate how to opt out of that, no simple option provided. So that’s a shady way to treat people. Overall I am not seeing anything about this app that would make me want to sign up for pro, as I can only assume there won’t be any recipes visible there either.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the app and service. We have a lot of content that is PRO, but the quality behind each recipe and video is very high in our opinion and justified for the price. You can also simply cancel the trial subscription in the app or in the Play Store, there shouldn't be any problem or trick to make it harder to cancel. Feel free to contact us at info@gronda.com and we will be happy to help you or answer your questions. Your Gronda Team

Great Concept

The app idea is great. I’m a pastry chef and I found out how easy and more focused you can search for the recipes or creators who are professional in food industry. Good for improve your cooking skills.
