### 2/5 — Crazy Work

*2025-07-25*

Paying $30+ a month for an app that doesn’t even work is bogus…

### 1/5 — ?

*2025-06-16*

It gives you recipes that include more than what you have lol

### 1/5 — You have to pay for this app

*2025-05-23*

This app lets you add all your ingredients but then you only get one suggestion on the free version for a recipe then you have to pay for the other suggestions. The one recipe they did give me also included items I didn’t even have so that was kind of a bust. I would not recommend

### 5/5 — Actually works

*2025-05-12*

This app actually works! I speak about the ingredients I have to the app and it comes up with some great recipe options. I think I can actually save a lot of money by doing this whenever I have some leftover groceries. I can also see that it’ll be great for finding new recipes and I’m excited to try that out soon. Overall, very happy with it!

### 5/5 — Perfect App for Easy Meal Planning

*2025-05-11*

I’ve been using this app almost every day, and it honestly made my meal planning so much easier. I like that it gives me a bunch of recipe options based on whatever ingredients I have.
Also the feature to set my preferences is really helpful, and I appreciate that I can ask about ingredient substitutes when I’m missing something. It’s taken a lot of the stress out of figuring out what to cook, and I actually look forward to trying new recipes now. 
Overall, it’s a really handy tool for anyone who cooks at home, or for people like me who want to cook at home but don’t always know where to start.

### 5/5 — Fun app!

*2025-05-02*

It’s a great app to find recipes based on my preferences. I spend less time thinking about what to eat with this and it’s great for learning cooking

### 5/5 — Just awesome

*2025-05-02*

I downloaded EmptyFridge on a whim after yet another long day juggling work and kids. I had maybe 15 minutes, half a zucchini, leftover rice, and zero mental energy. I typed in what I had and—bam—it gave me a simple recipe that actually worked. My kids ate it (!!!), and I didn’t have to think or spend money on takeout. I’ve used it almost every night since. It’s like having a calm, helpful friend in the kitchen when my brain’s running on fumes. Highly recommend to any parent just trying to survive dinner time.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2025-04-21*

This must have a glitch that only lets you get a few buttons in. it wont let me get past adding ingredients.

### 1/5 — Cost is not provided

*2025-04-17*

The cost of this app is not provided when you go to look at it. It implies or gives the impression that it’s free when it’s really not.

### 5/5 — Fun app with lots of potential

*2024-10-16*

Looks like it’s still a new app, but seems to have a lot of potentials. I like that it reminds me to get dinner recipes based on what I have in my fridge and all that which is fantastic.

I do have a few suggestions tho. I’d like to be able to delete the tasks if I’m not using it anymore. Also, adding more categories like travel planning can be a good use case.
