### 3/5 — Unable to use

*2024-12-30*

This is not really a review but a request for help. I’ve been using this app for a long time and today, all of a sudden, it won’t work. When I open it and click on a saved recipe it closes the app. I tried to reach out to app support but only a blank page comes up. The app was free when I first downloaded it. Is there a charge for it now? When I tap the “upgrade” button, nothing happens. 
Since I can’t reach app support this is the only way I can reach out.

**Developer response:** Hi Robin, I'm so sorry for issues you're seeing. Could you please reach out to avocapp@gmail.com and I'll do my best to assist. Thank you!

### 1/5 — This used to be good

*2023-08-09*

I’ve subscribed for years and it was a good app. But now it is terrible! It won’t scan anything! Not even well typed recipes. And it’s been this way for months. I can’t do anything with it so I’m going to have to find another app and try to transfer my recipes. What a waste of time!

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2022-05-10, version 3.2.4*

Love the app and all but am curious on a desktop version maybe??

### 1/5 — Will Not Open

*2022-02-02, version 3.2.4*

I downloaded this app to my iPhone and iPad and it will not open on either one.

**Developer response:** Hi Mamaw,

I’m very sorry to hear you had issues opening the app. Could you please reach out to avocapp@gmail.com with your device information (iOS version and device models) so I can assist you?

Thanks so much,
Eric

### 4/5 — Love it so far.

*2021-06-29, version 3.2.3*

Question: 

How do I generate my grocery list from the recipes I have. Is there a way to do that? 

I want to add some/all my ingredients from a particular recipe to my grocery list. How do I do that?

**Developer response:** Hi TopCat,

To add ingredients from a recipe to your grocery list, please open the recipe and then click on the grocery cart icon in the top-right of the recipe page. If you need further assistance please reach out to support@avoc.app.

Thanks so much,
Eric

### 5/5 — Worth 8$ a year

*2020-07-01, version 3.0.1*

It’s a great way to collect and organize all those recipes you’ve found online! Never lose that killer cookie recipe again.  Never fear that some free site is going to demand money from you. Best of all, it’s free of annoying pop up ads that you have to watch before viewing your recipe.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review and your support as a subscriber! I really appreciate it!

### 5/5 — Best recipe app

*2020-05-10, version 2.6.0*

Easy app to use and great to keep recipes! Thank you. Best one out there!  Highly recommend.

**Developer response:** Hi C Fuerte. Thanks so much for your great review! If you ever want to get in contact to leave additional feedback, please feel free to reach out to me at eric@avoc.app

### 5/5 — Scan Recipes!!!

*2020-04-22, version 2.4.4*

Finally the app that lets me scan recipes!! It’s the best recipe manager since it scans my recipes and then integrates with my grocery list. Plus it lets me download recipes from websites so I can keep everything in one place

### 5/5 — Avoc: The Recipe app everyone needs

*2020-04-17, version 2.4.3*

Avoc is the recipe app to have. Whether you are digitizing your family’s old recipes(even Grandmas old school writing) or using their hands free coooking feature, Avoc has you covered and keeps your phone from being covered...in flour. It’s a great way to scan or input your recipes in a clean digitized form and seamlessly go shopping with Avoc’s in app grocery list.

**Developer response:** Hi ExploreGalore. Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m very glad to hear you’ve been enjoying Avoc. If you have any other comments or suggestions please feel free to reach out to me at eric@avoc.app

### 5/5 — A handy way to compile recipes

*2020-04-17, version 2.4.3*

A quick and easy way to store my favorite recipes from all my cook books in the house. I look forward to future updates!

I only wish I only needed to take one photo for the numerous fields.

**Developer response:** Hi SebXW. Thank you so much for your feedback! Avoc now supports extracting multiple fields from a single picture as of version 2.4.4. If you have any more suggestions, please feel free to reach out to eric@avoc.app
