I’ve uninstalled and reinstall old and still the same. Such a shame showed such promise ### 1/5 — This app does not work *2020-04-23* I downloaded the app to find recipes with food items I already had in my fridge/pantry. I love the idea of reducing food waste but the app has not worked at all for me (I use iPhone). I will enter three food items and receive an error message. In fact, the error message already pops up when I simply open the app as well. Then it will go away and allow me to enter items. But then pop back up. So, I have not seen one recipe on it. Please fix the bugs. ### 5/5 — Welcome improvements *2016-06-18, version 2.1.2* Much more chances of a match with enhanced search algorithm ### 5/5 — Mr *2016-01-02, version 1.0.0* Truly inspiring app!! Makes the lazy unlazy! ### 1/5 — Great idea, poor execution *2015-12-17, version 1.0.0* No combination of ingredients I have tried comes up with a recipe, not ideal really ### 5/5 — Must have for any chef!! *2015-12-17, version 1.0.0* I'm Gordon Ramsey,I'm kind of a big deal and this app is where I get all my fame and great dishes from, it coming at no cost is a steal!!! Download download download ### 2/5 — Good idea *2015-11-15, version 1.0.0* Sounds like such a brilliant idea - I'm always struggling with ideas for dinner with only a few things in the fridge. However every combination I put in comes up with no ideas. Does anyone else have this issue? ### 5/5 — Brilliant all round *2015-10-16, version 1.0.0* Brilliant idea to reduce wood waste and inspire students to cook and be more healthy ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2015-10-16, version 1.0.0* So handy and super easy to use. ### 5/5 — Simple and brilliant *2015-10-15, version 1.0.0* A must for anyone eating on a budget!
