User reviews

Great app

Looking for something different to cook this is a good app to look at.

Can’t live without it.

When you need make dinner, it so easy to go this app for inspiration!

My Go-To

I’ve used this app paid version for years and it is the first place I look for a recipe.
I’ve added my own additional recipes when needed and this keeps all my recipes organized in one place. Thankfully this app makes mealtime manageable!

Paid for pro - still ads!

Paid for pro to remove the many annoying ads that take up most of the phone screen and hide the recipe, but it did not and I still have ads with no change. Not worth paying from pro.

Poor App Integration Design Choice

Registers as a background receiver, so the recipes are imported silently and stored before you see anything. They are then hard to find when you go to the app. ReciMe has a much better design.
