### 5/5 — Wird mit jedem Update besser

*2026-08-27*

Ich nutze Chefito schon eine Weile und finde es richtig schön zu sehen, wie sich die App weiterentwickelt. Besonders die neuen Rezeptvorschläge gefallen mir sehr. Vor ein paar Wochen gab es diese persönlichen Empfehlungen nach den eigenen Vorlieben so noch nicht und inzwischen schaue ich dort regelmäßig rein, wenn mir selbst nichts zum Kochen einfällt.

Generell fühlt sich die App angenehm unkompliziert an und hilft mir dabei, besser den Überblick über meine Lebensmittel und Rezepte zu behalten. Bin gespannt, was noch dazukommt 😊

**Developer response:** Vielen lieben Dank für deine ausführliche Bewertung und das starke Feedback! 🙌

Genau solche Rückmeldungen helfen uns sehr weiter. Die Funktion, mehrere Artikel schnell per kopiertem Text in die Einkaufsliste zu übernehmen, ist inzwischen in der neuen Version verfügbar. Du kannst also z. B. mehrere Lebensmittel aus deinen Notizen kopieren und direkt in Chefito einfügen.

Danke dir nochmals fürs Testen und für deine konkreten Verbesserungsvorschläge!

### 5/5 — Endlich Ordnung in meiner Küche

*2026-07-17*

Ich nutze Chefito jetzt seit einigen Wochen und bin wirklich positiv überrascht. Die App hilft mir dabei, den Überblick über meinen Vorrat zu behalten und Lebensmittelverschwendung zu vermeiden. Besonders gefallen mir die Rezeptvorschläge basierend auf den vorhandenen Zutaten sowie die Erinnerungen an ablaufende Lebensmittel. Die Bedienung ist modern, übersichtlich und intuitiv. Man merkt, dass die App mit viel Liebe entwickelt wurde. Klare Empfehlung!

### 4/5 — Es macht spaß und die Fuktionen sind richtig gut! Es könnte aber noch potenziell besser sein.

*2026-04-25*

Ich nutze die App jetzt schon eine Weile und ehrlich gesagt macht sie schon vieles richtig. Du hast einfach mehrere Dinge, für die man sonst verschiedene Apps braucht, an einem Ort. Das fühlt sich direkt sinnvoll an.

Was ich echt gut finde, ist, mein Vorrat aktualisiert sich automatisch, wenn ich ein Rezept als gekocht markiere. Sehr praktisch ist auch, dass ich Zutaten aus mehreren Rezepten direkt auf die Einkaufsliste packen kann und gleichzeitig sehe, was ich schon zu Hause habe. Das spart unnötige Käufe.

Aber ganz ehrlich, ein paar Sachen fehlen noch. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass man Lebensmittel direkt aus der App bei Supermärkten bestellen kann. 

Was mich ein bisschen nervt, ist, dass ich nicht mehrere Artikel einfach schnell manuell in die Einkaufsliste kopieren kann, zum Beispiel direkt aus meinen Notizen. Das wäre sehr praktisch.

### 5/5 — The app that you didn’t know you needed it

*2026-04-10*

I love taking cooking courses and saving recipes on Instagram. But afterwards, I could never find them again. This app lets me store all my recipes and add easily the ingredients to my shopping list. It also helps me save money by preventing me from buying the same item multiple times or wasting food because I’ve forgotten its expiration date. With this app, you can plan your shopping and keep an organised inventory of the food you have at home.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🙌

That is exactly what Chefito is meant to help with: keeping track of food at home, avoiding unnecessary purchases, planning shopping better and reducing food waste.

We’re really happy to hear that the app is useful for you. More improvements are already on the way!

### 5/5 — Cool App

*2026-03-19*

It helped me a lot!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! 🙌

We’re really happy to hear that Chefito helped you. We’ll keep improving the app step by step.
