Over all this app is great and I would recommend it for explorers! ### 4/5 — I love the app but *2022-12-29, version 1.0* I would recommend this to most people except you’re like me and you don’t really like pop-up ads so if you don’t really care about the ads then I totally recommend this but if you’re like me and you don’t really like ads and I wouldn’t recommend it that much ### 4/5 — It’s okay *2022-10-11, version 1.0* I just think it’s a tad bit hard to understand ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2022-06-29, version 1.0* Well I’ve been playing legend of Zelda breath of the wild for 5 years now and I’m only 9! And I know there are more recipes then that just to let you guys know I hope there can be an update to fix this. ### 4/5 — Great app, but..... *2021-12-11, version 1.0* This app should have categories and sort foods and elixers into different filters so food is easy to find. ### 4/5 — Pls have it *2021-10-10, version 1.0* Please have like the hearts the food gives up or down ### 3/5 — Not the best *2021-06-17, version 1.0* There is a better app called recipe slate that has like all the foods and this one has 40% of it ### 2/5 — Meh *2021-02-06, version 1.0* Not so hot because there are a lot of ads and there needs to be more recipes. I found more on the internet than I did with this app. ### 4/5 — Ads *2021-02-06, version 1.0* Lot of ads but a great app ### 3/5 — Useful for some things *2021-01-21, version 1.0* I found it fine ### 4/5 — Good *2020-11-30, version 1.0* Okay i am a noob at zelda, but now i know all the recipes ### 2/5 — Mediocre at best *2020-09-03, version 1.0* While I admit having a free app to help with various recipes is wonderful, but the amount of ads in comparison with the lack of information is aggravating. If an app is going to allow ads to run like that then more effort needs to be put into acquiring more information. There isn’t anything listing any information or recipes for dragon parts. Perhaps updating the recipes would justify the amount of unskippable ads. ### 3/5 — It’s a useful app BUT *2020-06-08, version 1.0* Sadly they don’t include many recipes like ALOT was missing:( please add more ### 3/5 — Good for basic recipes, but... *2019-08-04, version 1.0* This is an awesome idea. Best, it’s free. However, there’s another BOTW companion. Literally everything cost money, but it has more than just recipes. Shrine locations, memory locations, etc. But this app is MUCH better for low-income BOTW players whom can’t afford all the fancy modifications you can get. The one problem is, the game is missing about around 100 recipes. How do I know? Because I’ve seen about 100 recipes that aren’t listed. Few examples: monster stew and monster cake, also a dish that I can’t remember the name of, but I know it is cooked by putting together 5 hearty durians. It gives you a bunch of extra hearts, somewhere around 15, more or less. The ingredient monster extract is missing too. Also, all. Of. The. ADDS. I know you need to make money off of a free game SOMEHOW, and the only way is adds. But it’s EXTREMELY annoying, mostly when you’re trying to get a quick recipe but then a 10-second add pops up. Overall it’s a good game, but nothing can be perfect. ### 3/5 — Suggestions *2019-07-09, version 1.0* There is no effects in ingredients which is not in the game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2022-10-01, version 1.0* Not worth your time ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-07-05, version 1.0* Cant use while playing music amd when i tap on a recipe i need i got a ad instantly ### 1/5 — Beware Ads *2020-04-01, version 1.0* It looks promising but just touching anything a full screen ads pops up. Not worth the download. ### 1/5 — Incomplete *2019-11-05, version 1.0* I admittedly just got it: but the first entry I turn to, hydromelon, it doesn’t even list the effect of. I will raise my review when I can see that significant detail has been put into this. Also- commercial videos slipped into this app. So far I am unimpressed: this information can be found for free online. False advertising: it says “all dishes” but this is an incomplete app without filled descriptions. This looks like a money-maker. ### 1/5 — There are better options. Don't bother with this app *2019-10-09, version 1.0* Ok no addition to the fact that this app's adds are annoying and disruptive, the recipe list is incomplete. Some of the descriptions for the effects are missing. This app is a waste of space especially because recipe slate does a much better job ### 1/5 — Not complete *2019-08-20, version 1.0* This is somewhat useful but it does not have all of the recipes such as but not limited to, monster cake, nut cake, and many others ### 1/5 — Death by 1000 ads *2019-08-13, version 1.0* Literally every time I want to view a recipe, an ad pops up first, sometimes with no ability to close the ad until a certain time has elapsed. The main screen shows a banner ad, too. I get that you can and should be able to make a little money off ads, but this feels so excessive. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Too Many Full-Screen Ads *2018-08-09, version 1.0* I understand that in order to make any money on a free application you need ads. I also understand that having a developers license for iOS costs money every year. That being said, part of the development process for a great application is figuring out how to implement ads in a way that is not so blatantly obtrusive. THIS APPLICATION DOES NOT DO THAT! I saw other reviews, and decided to check this myself. After tapping on a recipe for the first time, I was presented with a non-dismissible full screen ad for about 10 seconds. I decided to check to see if this occurred every time I went to look at a recipe and much to my surprise I was not forced to see another full-screen ad immediately. Much to my dismay, another full-screen ad pops up either 4 recipes later or the next recipe you look at if it has been about a minute since your last full screen ad. THAT was enough for me to uninstall. This application has some of the worst traits of iOS applications on the App Store, so do yourself a favor and go get Recipe Slate instead. It is more streamlined, has a better layout, and has absolutely no full-screen ads. In fact, Recipe Slate has no ads at all! ### 1/5 — You don't even have all the resipeys *2017-08-07, version 1.0* you don't have all the resipeys like monster cake why make an app if it not 100% good ### 1/5 — Ha, wow. *2017-05-20, version 1.0* Really? Full screen ads when you open a recipe? I mean, I get having ads in your app. But full screen ones for every single recipe? This app is a joke. Go download 'Recipe Slate' instead. It's much better. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2023-05-14* This game is great! I love all of the ingredients and recipes. But I do have a recommendation. Nothing is wrong with the app I think it would be better if you could heart any ingredient or recipe. This way you can make lists of your favorite ingredients and recipes so you don’t have to search for them. But overall this game is amazing! Please make one for Tears Of The Kingdom As Well! ### 5/5 — Useful for cooking stuff *2022-06-12, version 1.0* Very easy to cook a bunch of stuff thanks to this app only thing that I could cook was a green meat thing ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-04-28, version 1.0* I just started playing breath of the wild and all of these recipes Are great 👍 Hope you make more games🙂 ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2020-10-26, version 1.0* This app was super helpful. It tells you where you can find certain ingredients and tells you what it is and what meals it can make. You can search specific meals and they will pop up. Whenever they pop up, If you press on that meal, it will tell you how many hearts get refilled and it shows the ingredients to make it. I love Zelda breath of the wild and this app is SO helpful! If I could I would give it a 10 star rating. There is nothing you have to unlock or pay for on this app too! ### 5/5 — Nice! *2020-05-21, version 1.0* This app is good I would have ended up with a lot of dubious food. ### 5/5 — Good game but.... *2020-03-19, version 1.0* It's missing a few recipes like the lava rock dish the ultimate survival dish and the ancient dish those are the only ones I want okay bye🍢🎂🍬🍙🍽 ### 5/5 — VERY HELPFUL *2020-03-06, version 1.0* even though it does have adds it’s not a problem. Every game that’s for free has adds! So I don’t know why people complain. And the adds last 5 seconds ### 5/5 — Over all good app *2019-05-13, version 1.0* This app is amazing. It doesn’t have every single ingredient, or every single recipe, but it daintily helps you if your tired of making the same dish over and over again on accident. Or if your looking for that one dish you only made once that restored your health by a lot and that had a special affect and you forgot to look at the recipe. This app is also really good to help you learn about different ingredients you haven’t seen before! ### 5/5 — Food *2019-02-02, version 1.0* Great app helps me cook ### 5/5 — Useful *2018-10-19, version 1.0* This app is so incredibly useful to make any dish I need in botw so i can’t just try to remember the recipes, instead i can just get the recipes in this app Highly recommend this app for all Breath of The Wild players --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
