### 4/5 — Great concept, but…

*2025-03-01*

After placing my first order I haven’t been able to review the local chef because the app keeps crashing. I don’t want to delete and reinstall for fear of losing my data.

### 5/5 — Great app and options!

*2023-12-18, version 2.35.2*

Tried Cookin on a friend's recommendation. Absolutely loved using the app and, of course, the home-cooked options! 
Enjoyed my meal!
Thanks to the team for bringing delish food from warm home-kitchens and -chefs to our tables. 💖

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2023-11-30, version 2.33.0*

everything was amazing! Now that i know of this app, i will be inclined to order more!

### 5/5 — A Seamless and Delicious Experience with Cookin App!

*2023-11-30, version 2.33.0*

I recently used the Cookin app to order a smoothie bowl from “The Hut” and it was a delightful experience from start to finish! The delivery was prompt and the app was easy to use. The smoothie bowl itself was delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend using Cookin to support local businesses and enjoy delicious meals right at your doorstep. Thank you, Cookin, for a memorable experience!

### 5/5 — Top Chefs prepare home cooked meals

*2023-11-23, version 2.32.0*

What a wonderful opportunity to have a chef prepared meal in your own home at the push of a button. We have ordered from a number of the offerings and each time the large portions were fresh and delicious. The presentation is also meticulously packed and blows the competition out of the water.

### 5/5 — Cookin worked for me

*2023-11-19, version 2.31.0*

### 5/5 — 👏🏾

*2023-10-04, version 2.23.0*

Desi Flavour was Amazing

### 5/5 — Great app. Local Chefs

*2023-09-21*

I love the app. Tonight was my first time using it and very smooth process from ordering, paying, and receiving the tracking for the delivery of my food. 

I like this a lot better than other food delivery apps and the food was so good / piping hot. 

Could we add a like/heart/save button for the chef stores/pages we want to try later ?

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the feedback and we are so happy you had a great experience! That feature will be added shortly!

### 5/5 — Amazing concept. Can’t wait for it to grow.

*2023-09-11, version 2.21.0*

Home-cooked meals delivered to your door. The concept is brilliant, and the execution was perfect in our experience. Can’t wait for this company to grow and start to offer in more locations.

### 5/5 — JEM salads hits the spot every time

*2023-09-02, version 2.21.0*

I love ordering JEM on Sundays and I often get an extra for my Monday work lunch. Ingredients are always fresh and delicious

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2026-05-13*

If you want to pick up an order you have to do that on the website

### 1/5 — Nothing in my area

*2025-01-04, version 2.39.0*

Did not find any Cookin in Brooklyn NYC. Really??

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2024-06-06*

App stopped working and gave error messages when I tried to order. Poor experience

**Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We would like to get some more information about the error message you're receiving. Please reach out to support@cookin.com so we can troubleshoot. Thanks!

### 1/5 — No chefs

*2023-09-01, version 2.21.0*

I keep getting ads about how much money this company had raised but every time I try to find food there’s only two to three chefs in my area all charging over $50 for a meal.

### 1/5 — Absolutely brutal you don’t see total charges until confirmed.

*2023-04-24, version 2.0.4*

In the app you don’t see the TOTAL charges before the order is confirmed. I was very surprised by all the service / delivery charges that I did not see until the order was placed. BRUTAL. Deleting the app and my account.

### 1/5 — Asking for too much information

*2023-02-15*

The app should allow some browsing before users commit
This is a new app and a concept and I’m not sure I’ll stick to it
But if I don’t stick they already have my name number and email
That’s what I don’t like
I didn’t have a chance to review home cooks and their offerings and to see whether I like any of it
Good luck to you

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback on the sign up process! Good news, we have taken this feedback to our product team and they've made an adjustment moving forward to allow customers to browse before creating an account!

### 2/5 — Error

*2024-10-12, version 2.38.0*

As much as I wanna like this app, I literally can’t because I can’t login, I can’t login because it says error and when I make another account it does the same. Submitted a ticket but no response yet

### 2/5 — Dallas Chefs - where did they go?

*2024-03-26*

They used to show up but it now says no cooks in my area. What happened?

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Cookin operates as a platform that enables homemade food creators to operate their businesses when and how they want to. While you may see fewer food creators in your area today, please note that we are continuously onboarding new individuals across the US and Canada to share their incredible food with customers. You can check out some of Cookin’s incredible food creators at: https://www.cookin.com/cooks.

### 2/5 — Home cooking = Restaurant prices?

*2023-06-14, version 2.8.0*

Not sure what the lure of the app is, but I would assume that the prices (before fees) should be less than a restaurant, but they are equivalent if not more. Rather than: trust an establishment not subject to health codes, why buy from here if the cost saving of no overhead/staff isn’t being passed to the customer?

### 3/5 — Nice but needs more choices

*2023-10-12*

App seems pretty nice , easy to work! I really would appreciate a way to create meals and find a chef to make it.

**Developer response:** Hello there,


Thank you for the positive review and feedback! We'd love to learn a little more about your suggestion to have custom meals. Send us an email to support@cookin.com to talk details!

### 5/5 — Our favorite pizza

*2025-02-11*

One thing is better than the next, love the pizza so much, but the homemade deserts - especially deluxe dipped donuts - were a hit with the kids are Super Bowl

**Developer response:** That's amazing, congratulations on your 100th order! We really appreciate you writing such a wonderful review. We can't wait for you to try some more home Cookin!

### 5/5 — Decadent treats

*2025-02-10, version 2.39.0*

Super Bowl treats were a big hit. The brownies are amazing. Cookies were delish

### 5/5 — Good taste

*2025-01-31, version 2.39.0*

The food tastes so good and also the plates have a good presentation 
Everything was yummy

### 5/5 — Delicious

*2024-05-02, version 2.37.0*

Love how there unique options and that they are always changing! The scheduling tool is amazing so that I can coordinate that I’m eating hot food. Great service, great choices , thank u!

### 5/5 — Portions and taste were well worth the price

*2024-04-12, version 2.36.0*

Ordered for work lunch. Everything was awesome and our team loved it!

### 5/5 — R. Pink Studio Pot Pies

*2024-02-01, version 2.35.2*

What a lovely experience. I purchased the Chicken Pot Pies for myself and as a dinner for friends and they were perfect. The taste was amazing  with lots of fresh vegetables and tender, moist chicken. But the crust is our absolute fav! Flaky and delicious, melts in your mouth and makes the flavour even better. 

Delivery was quick and the pies were still very warm and ready to serve. 

I recommend R.Pink Studio to everyone who loves good cooking and look forward to trying new menu items. 
Thanks Chef Rian!

### 5/5 — Great food app

*2024-01-29, version 2.35.2*

Ordered dinner one day to try the app and the experience was great. The delivery was smooth and on time and the food was warm and fresh as well. Will definitely be ordering food from the app in the days to come.

### 5/5 — Great app to support small businesses

*2024-01-20, version 2.35.2*

I had a great experience for my first order. The app is easy to use, everything is clear. It's reassuring to get the notification when your order was being made and I can track the delivery status. 😊

### 5/5 — Cookin App

*2024-01-13*

I love this app better than DoorDash & Uber. Exquisite food and definitely worth spending my dollar!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the amazing review! We are extremely proud of all our chefs and are blown away with how tasty everything is.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2024-01-04, version 2.35.2*

A fun to browse app filled with great food options.  Everything that I’ve ordered so far was delicious and the presentation was lovely.  Also, the overall experience from ordering to delivery was very organized.  Will definitely order from Cookin again!!!
