Keep getting signed out

Every time I try to make a change to scheduled meals it boots me out and makes me log back into my account and I can’t make any changes

This app does not work

It won’t let me setup payment either through PayPal or credit card. The screen just goes blank. Annoying.

Great app

Love the app and it’s convenience!!!

This app and service is not great!

You can’t choose what day they deliver. Your only option is to wait for them to deliver sometime between the hours of 8am and 9pm on Tuesdays except for when it comes on Wednesday due to high volume…

To go with their inconsistent deliveries, the food items are also inconsistent. Sometimes the food is good sometimes the food is bad. You never know what your going to get in the box.

Customer service should have been more helpful, or at the very least, show compassion and understanding for my circumstances.

This app doesn’t work

I just signed up for Purple Carrot and decided to download the app for convenience. The app doesn’t load properly so all I see is pictures of the food and blurbs about how wonderful Purple Carrot is, I cannot do anything within the app as it is presented in the App Store. Very disappointed

Response from developer

Hi there! So sorry to hear that you're experiencing trouble on your end. Feel welcome to visit the 'Profile' icon located in the bottom right-hand corner of the app. Once there, click the 'Contact Us' button. That should bring up a new email thread to reach us at hello@purplecarrot.com directly. Be sure to include pictures or screenshots of any errors or problems in your message, as we want to report any bugs to our Tech Team promptly. We are here to help! 🙂

Feeding myself is enjoyable again

I despise meal planning and generally dislike cooking as well, but am extremely health minded, so Purple Carrot has been my saving grace. It’s made feeding myself stress free, straightforward, and delicious. I now have more time for things I enjoy, and it’s just improved the quality of my life immeasurably.

I’ve tried all the meal kit services and Purple Carrot is really far and away the best overall, but also the best for vegan and gluten free options. Love that they have an app now too!

Waste of an app

Can’t track deliveries in the app. Need your recipes for the box you just unpacked? The “this week” section shows next week’s box! Can you go back a week? Nope! Just go to the website.

Response from developer

*Update as of 5/4/23: Good news! You can now track your recent and past order history directly from the 'Home' tab with the newest app version (1.0.26), which was just released on 5/1. Be sure to click the 'Keep track of past orders' button to view this in the app. We surely hope this improves your experience and thank you again for sharing your experience with us. *4/4/23: Thanks so much for sharing this, as we truly appreciate this feedback. If you'd like to track your delivery in the app, you can click the 'Profile' icon located on the bottom left of the screen. Once clicked, choose 'My Orders', once there, you can either select 'Track your Order' to search by email or tracking number. You also have the ability to click the 'Order History' button to navigate through any past deliveries, which provides a clickable link to your tracking info for each order. 😊 As the 'Home' screen does display the meals in your box for the current week, you can select any of the deliveries below 'Upcoming Menus' to view what's upcoming. We also offer the option to click the 'Schedule' icon at the bottom of the screen, where you can scroll and navigate through the upcoming weeks to edit or customize your orders as needed before the Tuesday deadline before 11:59 PM EST. Hope this info helps! Feel welcome to contact us at hello@purplecarrot.com if you need anything further! 💜

Need this week’s recipes

I’m a fan of purple carrot, but this app is missing major functionality in that I can’t use it to view and cook the current weeks meals. It only shows you the upcoming weeks yet to be ordered.

Response from developer

*Update as of 5/4/23: We just wanted to share that the latest app version released on 5/1, (1.0.26), now allows users to view and customize their upcoming orders right on the 'Home' page, as well as offering the ability to view past order history all in one place. We hope this improvement helps make things a bit easier moving forward. As always, feel more than welcome to connect with us via live chat or email if you need anything else! *3/14/23: Thank you for your feedback! We apologize for any inconvenience. If you see the week you’re looking for on the ‘Home’ tab, you can scroll down to view the recipes! If the current week’s meals are not on the ‘Home’ tab, tap ‘Profile’ in the bottom left, then ‘My Orders,’ and then ‘Order History.’ Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can help in any other way! You can chat on our site or email hello@purplecarrot.com.

Such a great meal service

I’m not strictly vegan, but I wanted to learn how to cook more plant based meals. Boy, this meals service is fantastic. It’s creative and I’ve learned so much. There have been a number of meals where I was a little intimidated by the ingredients, but I tried it anyway and it was delicious. Then other meals are just plain comfort food and I don’t even miss cheese. Amazing!
