### 2/5 — Scan-plan

*2025-08-10, version 4.9.2*

Seems to be a good app other than the fact you have to pay to barcode scan. That should be included in the free.

### 3/5 — fix needed asap

*2025-08-05*

just purchased this app and was really excited to notate all of my food items and have a spot where I can look up recipes with everything I have, but every time I try to open the function to view recipes the app shuts down

### 2/5 — Not user friendly

*2024-12-07, version 4.9.1*

Can’t have the same product name in multiple freezers. The search function is clumsy and annoying. Not intuitive on functionality

### 2/5 — Not super user friendly

*2024-08-24, version 4.9.1*

I was in need of a freezer/fridge/pantry inventory app and this also has shopping list and meal planner capabilities, but I can’t work out how to add my own meals (I don’t need to browse and choose recipes). 
The FAQ on this is unhelpful and attempts to contact the creators of the app have been unsuccessful. 
I’m considering deleting it and using a different app.

### 1/5 — Not worth

*2024-03-30, version 4.9.1*

Paid £20 for the app and still doesn’t even include all features. Still need to pay an extra £2 per month for an ‘upgrade’. Not worth.

### 1/5 — Installed and deleted in less than 5 minutes

*2024-03-10*

When you are trying an app, you should allow a trial period of all its features. The feature I wanted to test the most , receipt scan, is locked and only available for purchase.
So if it doesn’t work then you are down $$ 
One should be able to test run all of it before purchasing any plan or features
App may be good but I guess I will never find out.

**Developer response:** Hello ReaderManiac
You can try the app for free for 14 days with all features unlocked. Cozzo uses the Apple trial system and you won't be charged if you cancel before the 14 days are over.

### 3/5 — Only works on Apple

*2024-02-20, version 4.9.1*

I really like this app and I would give it five stars if it worked on devices other than Apple. Unfortunately I’d already paid for the household subscription before I realised this. No one else in my household uses Apple so they are unable to use this app, thus rendering it fairly useless to us

### 2/5 — So frustrating

*2023-09-27, version 4.9.0*

Password reset links are glitchy and freeze
Difficult to follow and unhelpful  user guides and FAQ’s
Features advertised are really appealing and have found it challenging to navigate to find easy to follow guides as to how to use them
Tried to use the scan of receipt to import groceries purchased - got a message that I as user and owner of “household” have to authorise myself to use this feature
Have found support request on how to use are delayed in getting a response if a response is even received
Such a shame because the app, in concept and marketing, offer such great functionality that could save time and really help people

### 2/5 — Would be incredible if it worked…

*2023-04-28*

Nothing is more infuriating than an app that alllllmooost works. I was really excited, since it looked like it had every feature I wanted.

When looking for recipes with items I already had in stock, it failed to recognize ingredients in recipes that matched word for word with an item in my pantry. Folks I tried for 30 mins and was never able to help it recognize that “canned peaches” = “canned peaches”. Certainly doesn’t help that after entering in your own recipe, you can no longer edit the ingredients. 

I also had very little success importing my recipes in from other websites or apps. I must have tried 6 or 7 recipe keeper apps and websites before giving up - for short recipes in particular, it always kept claiming that it could not find any recipes on the page, or gave an extremely glitchy failure screen when importing from another app.

### 1/5 — What?

*2023-01-23, version 4.8.12*
