On the face of it appears to be a con

App didn’t recognise any ingredients at all full of bugs appeared incomplete . Tried to cancel on the app did nothing, funny that no doubt payment for £34.99 would have been attempted in a week when the trial runs out I’m sure that bit would work . Complete waste of time , cancelled through Apple

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience. Ingredient recognition and app stability are actively being improved with each update. You can cancel anytime through Apple subscriptions, and no charges are made if the trial is cancelled before it ends. We appreciate the feedback and are continuing to improve the app experience.

Don’t bother

My kid got this stupid app and they charged me over $40 for it.
No refund. So now I’m stuck with an expensive app I won’t even use

Malfunctioning

The app keeps crushing. When I open the app the screen is black and nothing else happens. I’ve restarted the phone. Updated the phone, turned off and on the phone. Nothings helps. I’ve been paying for the subscription but can’t use the app. And now they went up on their monthly price from $5.99 to $6.99.

Hey KG, It looks like your phone is outdated and not supported by our app unfortunately... As we spoke by email I tried to fix the issue but not possible as it is not in our capacity. Best, Nicholas

Terrible

This app basically gives you the same 3 ai driven recipes with slight variations. It also forces you to add ingredients in order to suggest recipes. If there is another way then it is incredibly hidden which is very unhelpful. I’m pretty technical and so is my husband. Neither of us could get this app to work in any way that is useful. Do not pay for this. It’s a huge waste of money unless you want to enter the ingredients for a specific food. If you know what then a Pinterest search has way better results. Just terrible.

Hey QueenBeckyBook, Thanks for the feedback! I’ll make sure to take your review into account for the next update. Thanks again, Nicholas

Super appliiiiii

Super appli ! J’utilise tous les jours, le recommande +++

Perfect for 'cooks' like me

I know there's a lot of us out there, people who love to eat and dislike food prep.
Been this way for 50 years or more of my life . Always have random leftover ingredients from hopeful attempts to create a meal from a recipe.
Thanks to AppAdvice, I found this app that is finally the real help I need to prep food myself. I'll never love food prep, some of us arent built that way, but this app doesn't get complicated with that.
Simple. This is what I have , I chose a few main ingredients (or a lot) from my inventory, and it gives me a recipe.. or more than one. Not gourmet, but satisfying.
No more staring blankly into the cupboard or the refrigerator for hours wondering how can I successfully get these random ingredients onto my plate? (and actually enjoy the flavor?)
With CRUMB, I'm making better use of the food already in my house because things are not languishing in the cupboard or the refrigerator until it expires.
No app will be perfect for everyone, but it's just right for me and worth the try when you hate trying to figure out what to make for the nourishment you need.

Hey Helihopehul, Thank you very much for your kind message! This is the type of message that keeps me going and makes me want to build an ever better product for you guys. I would love to have to opportunity to speak with you and see how we can make it even more useful! (You can contact me by email or what’s app) Thanks again, Nicholas

generative AI garbage. don't download

was really hoping that this app would use machine learning to search for real recipes made by real people. instead it makes up really disgusting sounding dishes, with tacky AI art.

there's no option to save your ingredients, so each time you want to cook something you have to manually re-enter all of your ingredients, and it all but forces you to do it via microphone. you have to trick the app to allow you to type in ingredients, which feels especially shady when talking about such an obnoxiously AI driven app. i can only speculate that it uses the audio input of all their users for tts machine learning without their consent, although of course i can't claim that for certain.

it generates one recipe at a time, and won't let you regenerate a new one on the free version. constantly pushes its paid subscription version, which is such a joke considering its use of unpaid AI content.

Hi Peridot420, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Crumb. I’m sorry to hear that it didn’t meet your expectations. Crumb is AI-driven to provide more personalization and freedom when exploring new recipes. While the option to save your ingredients and avoid re-entering them each time is available, this feature is part of the paid plan. Regarding the voice feature, I want to reassure you that we don’t track or store what you say, except for the ingredients you dictate. If you have any additional questions or suggestions on how we could improve Crumb, I’d love to hear them. Feel free to reach out, or we can arrange a call to discuss further. Here’s my WhatsApp number: ‪+32 486 04 34 19‬. Thank you again for your feedback! Best, Nicholas

Over all ok but…

Once a recipe is shown, it’s ridiculous how you can’t add any more ingredients that may have been forgotten!
There should also have the ability to add a note to the recipe for the next time it is needed.
I have also noticed on many occasions, that after speaking out the ingredients it shows none of of them. It simply just shows the manual ‘add ingredients’ button, so essentially it’s failing to do even its basic job.
Lastly, why doesn’t the refine your recipe bit, have the option to make the recipe more saucy? It’s very limited.
It’s a very rigid app and not flexible, this app needs to be more user-friendly.

Hello Dons_way, Thank you for your feedback! We will definitely take everything you said into account and try to improve it. Thanks again, Nicholas

iphone only?

That’s not right.

Response from developer

Hello Fanc4Yahsua, Thanks for leaving a review. What exactly do you mean by iPhone only? The app is also available on the Google Play store. If you need help feel free to send me a message on what’s app :) Thanks, Nicholas

Nav

Love this app

Response from developer

Hey Nav, Happy you like Crumb! Nicholas

Not for me.

There is no recipe. We're looking for recipes lol

Response from developer

Hey Jean, Thanks for letting me know your issue. I believe you were in the pantry where you can't create recipes. If you want to create a recipe you have to go on the home page and click on the microphone button bottom right. This will allow you to dictate your ingredients and create a recipe :) Feel free to send me a message on what's app if you have any more questions. Thanks, Nicholas

Amazigh app

Top top app

Excellent!

There was bedlam in my fridge. I had cheese about to expire, spinach I didn’t know what to do with, and a few straggling carrots that I could neither bring myself to munch on or throw away. Crumb made a garden of this chaos and I ended up with a very tasty and garlicky spinach/carrot sauté! I highly recommend.

Hey! Thanks for your awesome comment! Happy you like Crumb and you managed to find a good recipe with what’s in your fridge. Nicholas

Units not American

I tried for a week. Even though I selected American units, my recipes are in metric measurements which are not helpful.

Response from developer

Hello Kpieczyn, I’m sorry to hear it’s not working as intended. Normally it’s working fine if you modify it in settings -> preferences -> measurements If not, can you send me a message through WhatsApp (settings -> help and feedback) I’ll make sure to find a solution for you. Thanks for informing me about the issue. Nicholas

Ça sauve mon frigo

Hyper fluide et hyper fluide et hyper efficace je suis bluffé !

Real life Saver !⭐️

Crumb is a total lifesaver! I used to spend so much time trying to figure out what to make for dinner, but Crumb makes it so easy. It gives me precise, simple recipes that use up everything I have on hand. No more food waste, just delicious meals every time!
