Amazing app and a MUST HAVE for recipe management
I think I wrote a review when I first got this app because I was so impressed. I can’t find it, so just in case I didn’t, I want to do another review now that I have used this app for many months.
This app is very impressive. I work for a software company and I know how important the user experience is. This app has everything that I can think of that I need in a recipe management tool and it is intuitive and extremely easy to use. I am a home cook, so perhaps if you use this for more commercial ventures you could think of improvements. It does everything I need and then some extremely well.
Thanks to the developer that came up with this app! I like to cook, but this has increased my desire to cook and to try new recipes. It is so easy to capture any recipe I find that I have a lot more in my repertoire.Developer Response
Thank you very much for your review! -JeffDisgusted
I am so furious, I have been using this app for about two months. I wouldn’t say I love the app but it met the minimum requirement of allowing my sisters and I to share recipes with each other in a relatively easy and accessible way. All the sudden, as of today, we’re getting a pop up to pay for a subscription to continue to use it. There was no mention of a subscription when we signed up or that we would eventually need one to continue to use the app. We thought, maybe we reached the maximum number of “free” recipes. So we deleted some… NOPE! Now our recipes are deleted AND we can’t add more because it’s requiring a subscription. THANKS A LOT. Maybe warn your users you’re switching to a subscription to continue to use your app. All of us are so furious, we will no longer be using the app and will find a new (and hopefully better) way to share recipes with each other.Developer Response
Hello, I'm sorry that you had a frustrating experience. Umami offers a 30-day free trial. After your free trial expires, you need a subscription to continue using the app. This information is included in Umami's App Store page and the website's FAQ. I’m an independent developer and the subscription helps cover server costs. I don’t monetize through ads or by selling user data. Please feel free to email me at jeff@umami.recipes if you have additional questions. - JeffThis app has changed the way I cook for the better
After using this app for a while. I love being able to import recipes from any source, even scanning a piece of paper, and adding it to my recipe book. And the feature where you can add ingredients to your grocery list in the app from the recipes is amazing. It even groups it by what section of the store each item should be in. We bought the family plan for life after 1 week of using it.Developer Response
Thank you very much! I'm glad Umami has been helpful for you and your family. -Jeff
