### 5/5 — Great Dinner Organizing App

*2026-08-11*

I was able to successfully import my recipes by just taking a photo. It suggests meals based on your personal and dietary preferences. It has gotten me out of a rut of cooking the same dishes all of the time.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-08-06*

This app not only organizes my recipes but is great for inspiration when I run out of dinner ideas. I love being able to take a snapshot of a paper recipe to easily add to my catalog!

### 1/5 — Not available in my area

*2026-07-31*

The apps needs an update, but it is no longer available in my area, and I’ve already paid the yearlong subscription. I want a refund

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you're having trouble! Butler should be available everywhere. Please email us at support@butlerkitchen.com so we can look into your account and get this resolved for you right away. We can't see your details from this review, but if you can kindly email us, we'll help you asap. We're also happy to help you initiate a refund if needed.

### 5/5 — A must have app for busy people

*2026-07-27*

Saving my high-protein Instagram recipes directly to this app is not only fun but now I actually cook more! I tried another meal and recipe app but it just gave me a bunch of generic recipes I didn’t want to cook. Having my fave recipes along with the ones built-in makes this app worth every penny. The meal planner is a huge bonus.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! Hearing "now I actually cook more" means the world to us. That's exactly why we built Butler. Grateful to have you in our community!

### 5/5 — sick of having recipes everywhere? This is your answer

*2026-01-14*

I felt I had no meal options. So I’d just make the same thing every week, hamburgers for days… 

With this app I feel I can diversify, get inspired, and collect my recipes from all the places (handwritten cards from grandma, the web, cookbooks, Instagram, Pinterest and more).  Now I want to cook more! I’ve already uploaded 10 recipes. 

Looking forward to the new features and definitely the recipe editing or re-categorizing feature. But so far this app feels life changing.

**Developer response:** Cheyene, thank you so much for this review. Hearing from users like you say "Now I want to cook more!" means the world to us. We built Butler because we know what it's like to feel stuck making the same things every week, even when you love to cook. So glad it's helping you get inspired. Recipe editing and re-categorizing improvements are live, and we have even more incredible new features coming next. Grateful to have you in our community!
