### 5/5 — Try this menu visualization app!

*2026-08-25*

It is easy to use and totally free

### 5/5 — Really helpful when ordering foods

*2026-04-14*

I’ve been using Chefbear lately, and it’s honestly been really helpful when I don’t know what to order. Especially at new or foreign restaurants, it gives me a much clearer idea of what each dish is actually like, instead of just guessing from the menu. I find myself relying on it more than I expected. It feels less like a typical app and more like a smart dining assistant.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.9.0 — 2026-08-26

Old ChefBear menus and taste preferences are now automatically assigned to your verified account, without repeated recovery prompts. Menus created before sign-in are safely adopted by the next account that signs in successfully, so new data is never left without an owner. Stronger account isolation prevents one account from claiming or deleting data that already belongs to another account.

### 3.8.75 — 2026-08-24

Fixed the photo crop screen so every corner handle remains fully visible and easy to drag, including along the bottom edge. Improved cloud recognition reliability: ChefBear now keeps App Attest as the primary check and performs one secure compatibility retry when installation verification fails. Network, sign-in, and app-verification failures are now distinguished, with clear localized guidance instead of incorrectly reporting an online device as offline.

### 3.8.67 — 2026-07-23

Refined the restaurant-type picker with balanced actions, a clearer footer, reliable safe-area spacing, and better small-screen scrolling.

### 3.8.65 — 2026-06-20

A refreshed, more polished membership page that matches the Settings design. Monthly subscribers can now upgrade to yearly right inside the app, in one tap.

### 3.8.61 — 2026-06-04

Fixed the freeze in Settings → Language. Picking a new language no longer locks up the UI mid-animation; the app updates the locale smoothly without rebuilding from scratch.
