Great

Really handy but lower the prices for premium

Beautiful but pricey.

This app is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, being limited to 5 recipes without paying $25 to upgrade is very much a dealbreaker. I will be finding a new recipe app, sadly.

Great app

I love this app, it has totally replaced my recipe scrapbook. I would give it 5 stars if it could save recipes from social sites.

Text import is a paid subscription

I used to love this app, I purchased the one time support package for $12 for more importing options. Now I can’t even text import since it is behind a paid subscription! It used to work just fine, but now it is “AI”. Taking away features users have paid for and putting them behind a subscription is scum.

You pay for it and then they change what you get

I paid for this app to get the ability to have unlimited recipes and to be able to import PDFs and take pictures of recipes to import them. It was great for the first couple months and then they made updates and now those features are behind a monthly fee. Talk about a bait and switch. The app is nice, I like the setup of it, and it is very user-friendly. I just feel like I got swindled out of money just to have features that I purchased for a lifetime taken away.
