### 1/5 — Used to love this app… I won’t use it anymore

*2022-05-16, version 2.3.14*

The ads and pop-ups are insane! The amount of ads that come up make it so hard to actually look at a recipe. I used to use this app all the time but I refuse to use it now. It’s is super frustrating. Especially since there are so many other apps out there, I won’t waste my time with this one.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t even work

*2021-08-16, version 2.3.14*

I have given this app multiple chances and it always lets me down. I purchased premium and synched my Pinterest and even after waiting overnight nothing transferred from Pinterest to Favoreats. And I know I have tons of recipes in the correct format. This happens every year I try to give this app another chance. Will not be trying again

### 2/5 — Used to love it

*2021-08-13, version 2.3.14*

Used to love this app and I still use it but currently on the hunt for an alternative. 

I love: that you could import from Pinterest, most websites, and manually add recipes. Meal plan, look at the grocery list, and see ingredients and steps side by side. 

Ever since they started the subscription plan things have been downhill. Subscription prices, to me, are outrageous for a single app. Especially when there are so many other alternatives. If the prices were more reasonable for unlimited use or there was a one time upfront fee, I would consider it. You can continue to use the app for free with ads but the amount of ads is excessive and they include pop ups. 

To use all of the features that were previously included is $12/month or $70/year! To even ask someone to pay that for an app is absurd. Yes there is a cheaper plan but that is just to be add free and does not unlock the other features.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work unless you pay $70

*2021-05-05, version 2.3.14*

I am disappointed in the changes to the app. It doesn’t work to meal plan unless you pay $70 a year or $12 a month. Which is pretty expensive for a meal planning app. I loved everything about this app before they raised the cost so high.

### 2/5 — Reconsider your cost structure

*2021-04-22, version 2.3.14*

Originally loved the app but looked for something more affordable when they moved all the functionality to a pay to play model. I don’t mind paying... but $70 annually is a joke when there are other recipe apps to choose from. Do some market research and reconsider your pricing model if you want your app to reach its full potential.

### 2/5 — Too many ads and pop ups

*2021-04-12, version 2.3.14*

I love the idea of this app, but it is so difficult to use because there are so many ads throughout the whole app and I can’t even navigate the program. Also, there is a button to print recipes but it doesn’t work-nothing prints. Way too frustrating!

### 2/5 — Okay

*2021-04-09, version 2.3.14*

I like the idea behind this app but it’s hard to navigate. Not intuitive and there should be an easier way to delete “recipes” that come over from Pinterest that aren’t recipes. The technical and usability side needs work.

### 3/5 — Great concept, but buyer beware

*2021-02-20, version 2.3.14*

I love this app. I first started using it when it was free. It syncs with your Pinterest account and makes your grocery list for you! After not using it for a while, since they switched to being a paid app, I decided to bite the bullet and pay. I opted for the basic subscription, because I only use it for the Pinterest syncing and digital grocery list. BEWARE the basic paid subscription only allows 6 meals to be planned for the month. 6 MEALS for and entire month, for a paid meal planning app. I was not able to find this information when deciding to purchase.

**Developer response:** We are glad you love the app and apologize for any confusion that exists about the difference between Free, Basic, and Premium plans.  A full comparison between the three is available on the subscription screen in the app at https://favoreatsapp.com/store.  We are happy to help facilitate a refund of your Basic subscription if you wish.  Please email us at support@favoreatsapp.com with any other questions or concerns.

### 4/5 — Great meal planner

*2020-09-13, version 2.3.6*

I love being able to schedule meals and the ease for creating a shopping list each week, but lately it seems like it’s more glitchy. I’ll try to add meals to the schedule and it freezes, etc.

### 2/5 — Subscription Baiting

*2020-09-08, version 2.3.4*

I used to love this app and all it had to offer. However, when it wouldn’t let me save meals to my plan I was a bit frustrated and confused after years of being able to do so (pre-the decision for developers to start charging for services). So I decided to buy the basic monthly subscription, as I understood that would limit ads and allow me to save meals as before. Unfortunately after only a few days I was blocked from adding meals to my plan again and still received ads to buy the higher subscription... what they term unlimited? Not sure if it is because I tried to add more then 5 or so meals at a time but that seems a bit ridiculous for something you are paying for. Monetary value aside, the biggest problem I had with this app was communication and transparency up front. Canceled basic subscription due to these issues and deleting from phone. I suggest you search for a different meal prepping app, with a more transparent and user-friendly interface.

**Developer response:** We completely understand how the transition from free to a subscription based approach is a difficult one and sincerely wish there were a way to continue to offer our full feature set at no cost to you.  We regret any confusion you feel relative to the difference between our Basic and Premium subscription tiers. It is not our intent to be anything other than transparent, and we try to enumerate the included features clearly but will review our descriptions in an effort to remedy any ambiguity.  We are sorry to see you go and wish you the best.
