I took up the offer of a months free trial tonight, realized how poor it is and decided to cancel! There is no option! No account page and no settings....nothing!! So I’ve lost £49 as a years subscription!! After 2 hours also the recipes haven’t been updated for a year!! ### 4/5 — This app *2019-09-02, version 7.57* Great app, useful and east to follow ### 1/5 — Problem with ads *2019-02-18* Great recipes but every time I open the app, an ad comes up, and it doesn’t close when I click on the ‘x’ at the top of the screen. Also can’t open the ad. So I just have to close the app and restart several times before I can get to the menu. Very disappointing! ### 3/5 — Mrs SLW *2018-12-12* Good for Keeping Track of the calories and not going over ### 1/5 — A quick look makes me extremely sceptical *2018-06-25* I suspect this has been written from the perspective of the could only be worse American diet. First there is no option for kilojoules which is odd since 95% of this planet is metric, with only the USA as the last holdout. I question the ridiculous “diet” meal suggestions include chocolate covered raisins, marshmallows, a glass of wine and snacks like honey on whole meal toast all of which are one sixth of the daily intake in just one small snack. It is plainly obvious that you do not consume any alcohol at all on a “2” day and avoid meals whose sole ingredients are sugar, starch, and fats. Where are all the obvious vegetables? You must have heard of them, even if they don’t come in the “must buy” PPP packaged/processed/promoted supermarket aisle. There are a lot of nonsense diets, seems we now need nonsense apps. The 5:2 diet works but not as excuse to keep eating all the wrong foods. Simply switch to natural unprocessed vegetables for the diet days with simple additions of some proteins such as fish and the jobs done, leaving you satisfied. The suggested recipes are plucked from somebody’s random orifice and would have an April Fools Day joke. My suggestion? Get real recipes from the net. This app is not even functionally or aesthetically laid out... ...nothing to see here, move on. ### 2/5 — Kind of Ok for 5:2. Skip the others. *2017-07-24* These are the exact same recipes as in their South Beach Diet app. Even though the recipes are not necessarily SB approved. It's by calories/meal so it kind of works for 5:2 . Some decent ideas but most very high starchy recipes. Not what most would normally choose for 5:2 or South Beach. Also The alkaline diet app is identical. No effort in any of these to represent the diet except a tiny bit for 5:2. ### 1/5 — Fail *2016-09-18, version 1.1* Crashes after opening on iOS10 so I have no idea how good it might be. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bloody rip off *2025-05-18* 9.99 per month for basically a very short recipe book?? 🙄 ### 1/5 — Long way to go *2025-05-12* I was able to look at all for the recipes they had on the whole app in less than 5 minutes. Not worth the 9.99 a month. Honey on toast.. Honey on banana are 2 of the few breakfast options.. 🫣 ### 1/5 — Disgusting bait and switch app *2021-07-06* Not free. Requires payment to view even one recipe ### 1/5 — Sick of subscriptions!!! *2020-09-28* Just about every app these days requires a subscription!! This app $16.99 a month! Developers must think everyday people have unlimited money! Deleting this app. Plenty of free recipes on the net or cheap kindle books for recipes. ### 1/5 — Cancelling app *2020-08-16* Can anyone actually tell me how they managed to cancel the subscription? I have downloaded the app and not agreed to pay the subscription but am now worried and would just like to remove the app without them having the opportunity to take any money from my account, Thanks ### 1/5 — Unusable *2020-07-12* Can’t access recipes without entering weight. Annoying and intrusive. ### 1/5 — This is a paid app — don’t be fooled!! *2020-07-04* This is actually a paid app. There’s nothing here unless you pay. So unless you do want to pay a monthly fee don’t bother. ### 1/5 — You cannot cancel this app *2020-04-19* Once downloaded there is no account support or ability to cancel the subscription. Very poor. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-01-12* Let’s be clear There is a free trial period - you have to agree to pay when it’s over Unless you take the free trial you have access to nothing but titles of dishes No recipes unless you subscribe ### 1/5 — Terrible Service *2019-10-23* Terrible service I have contacted the provider twice for a refund as the subscription was cancelled a day late due to a family emergency. I have received no contact what so ever. Absolutely terrible. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Chicken tray bake *2023-10-04* Just made this and it was superb. ### 5/5 — Thank *2022-06-26* Done ### 5/5 — Disappointed *2020-11-24* I used this app regularly but now you have to pay 9.99 a month to access the recipes. You can’t even access the original recipes which are excellent. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2019-12-26* Great app easy to use ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2019-11-02* I needed help to start my 5-2 diet but here it is :) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-01-04* Plenty of choices and all really delish ### 5/5 — Great little app *2017-12-13* Fantastic recipes on here all with a good variety calorie ranges. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2016-08-24, version 1.0* Great range on recipes, you can add favourites, no bugs and it's free. Brilliant app! ### 4/5 — Good help if you are on 5-2 5-2 *2024-07-01* I’ve been using the app on and off for a few years and it is my go-to when I have a 5-2 period. It seems to be improving over time, while retaining some of the classics (chicken miso soup nom nom) ### 4/5 — Surprising variety *2021-08-07* When doing 5:2 one can get stuck for ideas and get bored. This app offers heaps of ideas and keeps you motivated. 👍🏼 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
