### 3/5 — Top buttons don’t work well

*2025-02-07, version 4.0.4*

I’m still learning my way around but I noticed that some buttons in top don’t work well on an iphone 16. I have to click many times or even just close the whole app. I hope this can be fixed.

### 2/5 — Day 2 recipes total less than 30g protein

*2024-04-14, version 4.0.2*

If you sum the total protein from the Day 2 recipes it’s less than 30g for the day. Humans need 40-60g. Disappointing for this app to provide that sort of suggestion. 

Good app otherwise except the Feedback option also produces and error (Australian account here)

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-01-26, version 4.0.0*

As a dietitian, I am approached about resources and apps to help with transitioning to a plant-based diet all the time. This app has recipes, meal plans, grocery lists plus education and videos! Great one-stop shop for learning more about eating for your health!

### 5/5 — Simple, handy tool for new vegans

*2023-01-18*

Great app: the recipes are tasty, simple, and have good variety. I found the schedule easy enough to deviate from if I decided to scale up the portions of some recipes and eating something several days in a row so I wouldn’t always need to cook. It also meant saving some  of the recipes to come back to after the 21 days!

This app has had some technical updates that fixed many of the bugs other reviewers have been experiencing. I’m someone who would prefer to look at my computer rather than my phone while cooking, so I hope future updates include a more seamless linking out to parallel resources that can be accessed from a laptop web browser.

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2023-01-13*

I love how simple the recipes are and the videos and encouragement from nutrition experts help me stay motivated. These meal ideas are all simple and achievable and I’ve been able to incorporate them into my daily routine without any problems. If you’re looking for support to improve your health and start a plant-based diet, this is a great place to start.

### 5/5 — Free and helpful

*2023-01-12, version 4.0.0*

This is a FREE app that gives grocery lists and recipes. For anyone struggling to jump start their vegan diet, this is the app you want.

### 1/5 — Error

*2022-10-13, version 3.0.2*

cannot create an account in Australia, constant account creation error even after reinstalling numerous times

### 3/5 — iPad Version Badly Needed

*2022-09-30, version 3.0.2*

Please make an iPad version so I can use it on my kitchen counter. As it is right now, the whole thing is sideways if I want to look at it while I cook.  

Your podcasts are currently pushing this app so I feel like you can update the version to include iPads. 

In addition, I agree with the reviewer who said the recipes don’t have the option for smaller serving counts, i.e., 2 or 3 rather than 4 or 5.  

Also, let us know ahead of time when something has to be cooked or chopped.  

Thanks.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2022-09-25, version 3.0.2*

No matter how many times I reset my password

### 1/5 — I need imperial not metric

*2022-09-25, version 3.0.2*

I chose Imperial during setup but it defaulted to grams anyway. Everything is measured in grams and I don’t want to have to convert it all. It’s really a shame bc it looks like a great program but I won’t use it bc of this issue.

### 1/5 — Can’t get any support

*2023-06-20, version 4.0.0*

I used to have this app and then deleted it. I just recently downloaded it again and tried to re- establish an account. I’ve requested 3 times the link to re-set my password and never gotten an email. Deleting the app as I can’t create any type of account.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work anymore

*2023-04-17, version 4.0.0*

I used to love this app and made lots of the recipes. Unfortunately, I can't access any of them anymore. I'm really bummed. There were so many good ones, and so many others I had marked to try. I'd love to try it again if they ever fix it.

### 1/5 — Just Me

*2023-03-31, version 4.0.0*

I have tried multiple times to open an account in this app but keep getting an error message.  Sounds like a good idea but can’t be sure if I can’t access it.

### 1/5 — App loads title page and then goes completely black

*2023-01-05, version 3.0.2*

Can someone fix this?

### 1/5 — App won’t let me create an account

*2022-12-30, version 3.0.2*

I couldn’t get past an application error when attempting to create an account immediately after downloading the app on my iPhone.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2022-11-23, version 3.0.2*

Although I get notifications, the app opens to a blank page. Useless :-(.

### 1/5 — Don’t work on my phone

*2022-11-19, version 3.0.2*

I have a iPhone 12 with iOS 16.1.1. I have downloaded this app on my phone 3 times. The only time this app works for me is the first day I sign up to use the app. Every day I receive the notifications to open the app. I’m trying to use it now. Every time I open this app on my phone, I only get a white screen. I would love to use this app if it works right. Can you please fix this app? Thanks in advance.

### 1/5 — Bummer

*2022-11-04, version 3.0.2*

I read the book “how not to die” and wanted to follow along with the free diet and information .  I have downloaded, uninstalled and then redos loaded multiple time o my to get the first few pages of the app then it turns to a white screen and freezes up:(

### 1/5 — Bummer. Doesn’t work after Day 1

*2022-10-30, version 3.0.2*

The second time I opened the app, I just got a white screen, so I deleted it and restarted my phone and reinstalled the app. Same thing happened. It allowed me to look through everything and sign up, and today it’s just a white screen again. Bummer.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2022-10-15, version 3.0.2*

I would love to use this app but each day I hit a white screen that I cannot get rid of!  Restarting my iPhone does not get rid of the problem.  One time I deleted the app and reloaded, then had to turn off my phone and restart before it worked!  Am I doing something wrong??

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great resource

*2025-03-19, version 4.0.4*

The shopping list was especially helpful.

### 5/5 — Huge improvement!

*2024-06-22*

I know there was a period of time where the app was pretty glitchy but it seems those bugs have been fixed. I absolutely love this app for the wealth of nutrition and health information it provides as well as the simple, delicious recipes. It’s my go-to whether I want to plan and try a new recipe or need something in a pinch. Also can’t say enough about the good work of PCRM as an organization. Solid app, happy they’ve done the work on it to keep it around!

### 5/5 — Unbelievably good app

*2024-04-04, version 4.0.2*

This entirely free app is perfect for vegans, beginners and long time vegans.

Dozens of really nutritious and very easy mainly oil free breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and snack recipes that are easy to follow, as well as a 21 day kickstart program with weekly shopping g lists.

There’s also about 50 x 2 or 3-minute videos.

I’ve been vegan for years but this is about the handiest app I’ve ever seen.

### 5/5 — This app is so helpful!

*2024-02-09, version 4.0.2*

I downloaded it in 2024 for veganuary and it’s been so helpful! Love the recipes and the mealplans!

### 5/5 — Great app for recipes & for sharing WFPB lifestyle

*2024-01-09*

I like this easy to use app for its recipes and, even tho I have been firmly WFPB for many yers, I enjoy using this kickstart periodically to refresh my awareness and tweak the healthfulness of my daily diet. I have also had the opportunity to share the app with WFPB-curious friends — in addition to the recipes, the videos provide a friendly introduction to the benefits of this lifestyle choice.

### 5/5 — Англ. меню

*2023-08-03, version 4.0.0*

Прошла полностью меню по английским рецептам , чувствую себя очень легко ! Постройнела на размер ! Спасибо)

### 5/5 — Love the diversity of Spanish recipes!

*2023-02-02, version 4.0.0*

Love this app and all the recipes from different cuisines around the world! I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — This app has everything!

*2023-01-27*

From easy-to-follow recipes and the nutrition videos to complement, this app provides all you need to start the 21-day transition (or try out) a whole-food plant-based diet. I love that the recipes are diverse and the meals are flavorful. It also helped me to find ways of preparing some foods I wasn’t already good at including regularly!

### 5/5 — Amazing FREE resource

*2023-01-27*

The updated Kickstart app is top notch! Not only is it FREE, but it’s easy to use and available in both English and Spanish. You can follow the 21-day meal plan or just search for your favorite recipes. Some of my favorites are Chickpeas with Gravy, No-Bake Brownie Bites, Irresistible White Bean Dip, and Sweet Potato Fries.

### 5/5 — Great app for new and longtime vegans!

*2023-01-27, version 4.0.0*

This app provides so many delicious recipes that are healthy and generally simple to make! I highly recommend it for anyone who is vegan or wants to try more plant-based eating!
