Reviews of ckbk

Scam

Very limited selection of books. The user interface makes navigating the limited selection of books incredibly hard. When I went to cancel my subscription, the link to cancel does nothing. I clicked on the “contact us” link and it crashes the app. When you try to log in on the web it just takes you back to the app. Not sure if it is on purpose so you can’t cancel or if it was programmed by 8 year olds. Either way stay far far away from this garbage

Response from developer

UPDATE - once again, we apologize for the crash you experienced when clicking the Contact Us link. This was caused by a software version compatibility, which has now been resolved. If you download version 1.8.12 the Contact Us page works as expected. The temporary issue with app store subscription management is also now fixed. Again, sorry that you ran into problems. Your experience does not reflect that of the majority of ckbk users, and the subject line of your review is inaccurate. We offer a service which is trusted by many thousand of home cooks and professional chefs. One useful reminder is that when you subscribe to app such as ckbk via the App Store, you can manage your subscription easily in the same place within the App Store that you manage all your subscriptions. If you contact ckbk customer support we will always address any issues and look into any reports of the app crashing (which is exceptionally rare). Again, we are sorry that there was a temporary issue with the contact us link in the app - now resolved. You can always easily contact ckbk at support@ckbk.com

The best website

I love this website. I found it quite a few years ago when I was looking for old recipes by Robert Carrier. It’s wonderful all the old chefs of my era 70s plus and modern chefs as well. Use all the time.
