Used to love this app… I won’t use it anymore
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.
Doesn’t even work
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

Used to love it
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.

Doesn’t work unless you pay $70
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.
Reconsider your cost structure
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.

Too many ads and pop ups
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!
Okay
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.
Great concept, but buyer beware
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.

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.
Great meal planner
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.
Subscription Baiting
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.

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.
Use to love
I use to love this app and told anyone that would listen about how easy it was. Downloaded your recipes from Pinterest...that was a huge plus for me...not anymore unless you pay extra. Could add to weekly/monthly menu, not any more unless you pay extra. And sooo many ads...thought that was what was keeping it free. Everything is limited now. Use to be my “go to” for recipes

Loved it, but too expensive now
I have used this app for a long time and have loved it. I told everyone I knew about it. It has made meal planning and keeping track of all of my online recipes so easy. When they added adds it was a little annoying but I found it worth it to pay the $11 for add free. It hasn’t even been a year since I paid for add free and now I can’t really use the app. Now they want to charge $60 a year or $9.99 a month. That seems a little steep and just can’t afford it. I’m sad I won’t be able to use the app anymore.

Loved this when it was first released
This was a great app when it was first released, but now I can only add 6 recipes to my meal plan per month unless I subscribe? No thank you. I’d rather pay a one time fee for full use of an app than a monthly/annual subscription. I tolerated it when the advertisements were added, but I think I’m going to be using a different recipe app from now on.

They took away the note feature!
You used to be able to makes notes on recipes but now you need a paid subscription to do that!!! Ridiculous! The personalization is what I loved! Besides compiling a grocery list for you, this app is basically just Pinterest for food.
I love this App!!
It’s made meal planning and shopping so much easier. Importing recipes is a breeze, and it’s flexible enough to handle my own custom items. The support is exceptional. They are very responsive. I have a hard time spending money on Apps, but I don’t mind it when I get the value. This is definitely worth the money.

We are so pleased that you are enjoying Favoreats and really appreciate your glowing review!
Awesome until they made us pay for everything
I’ve been using the app from day one and I’ve loved it! I’ve recommended it to numerous friends. And now everything we could do for free we have to pay for 🤬 I totally get it if they make you pay up front, but you can’t take away everything we’ve been doing for months for free and expect us to pay for it out of the blue.

Used to be great but now they charge.
I have been using this app since it first came out! I was obsessed! It was so easy to find recipes and make a meal plan and the best part, it made a shopping with for you!!! But they changed it so now you have to pay $10 a month to use that service and I’m super disappointed. I understand subscriptions take the company lots of money but I can’t throw another $10 charge into my budget every month. I wish they would just make us buy the app and then make it free!
I would recommend the app called paprika. It’s not as good as this app but it’s a one time charge of $5.

Only one per day....
I loved this app and would promote it to everyone. Family, friends, IG followers, etc. was definitely 5 stars. But now with having to pay to meal plan more than one recipe per day I can not in good faith promote this app any longer to people. Meal planning helps keep people on track, budget, save money, save time and now you are charging to do more than recipe per day? Unless you start planning a week ahead of time you will never be able to use this app effectively. Not to mention if you have a party or like to plan breakfast, lunch and dinner or desert you will never be able to without paying. I don’t think you gave any thought to the fact that many people who use your app can’t afford to pay a monthly subscription that’s why they are Meal planning in the first place! They aren’t planning because they are rich or have money to blow. Give people more choices like 3 or 4 recipes per day and some other cheaper middle of the road option and you get stars back.

We understand your disappointment, and we wish there were a way to continue to offer all of the features in Favoreats for free. Building and maintaining an app is a very expensive undertaking and without subscriber support, it just wouldn't be possible. We hope you will agree that value you get from Favoreats is well worth the $1.15/week subscription rate, but if not, we understand and wish you well.
Used to be amazing
This app used to be the app I recommended to everyone. Now, you can’t do absolutely anything unless you pay a hefty fee. A while ago they added adds to the free version, which I was perfectly fine with because I understand that apps cost money to run. They have no restricted the free version so much that it is completely unusable.

Subscription to meal plan :(
I loved this app when it first came out as a beta user. As a working mom this helped me out so much. I was getting friends and family to use it.
Then the ads happened and while annoying I could work around it. Now I have to pay to meal plan! No thanks, we will be going back to using a planner till we find a new app!
