I do like it and meal plan with it. I wish it had a prep feature with user created weekly meal plans. The only on prep available are the plans created for YouTube to sell the app. I’ve also noticed Alexandria has taken a break since life happens. So new recipes aren’t added as frequently as they were before. The recipes are easy whole food vegan. I don’t consider myself a vegan but more of a flexitarian and my family is not vegan at all. The recipes are easy to adapt. So I can eat the way I want and they can add cheese cooked chicken, fish or cooked ground turkey to their food with little effort. ### 3/5 — My honest thoughts *2025-08-08* I think a lot of the recipes are great they are simple with minimal ingredients. My only disappointment is I’ve had the app for a couple months and there’s been maybe a couple of new recipes. I should have just paid for 1 month (or gone month to month), and browsed/saved the recipes I liked. I highly, highly regret buying a full year subscription. Would not recommend an annual subscription. ### 3/5 — Too expensive *2024-08-15* The app aesthetics are great, the recipes are fairly simple but tasty and it’s user friendly. I appreciate the nutritional information provided for the recipes, BUT it’s just too expensive to be practical. I paid for 1 year and enjoyed having access to all the recipes. I do not feel that there is enough new content (nor do I need that much new content), to justify continuing to pay for it year after year. I understand not being able to access new content, but wish I could access the recipes I previously utilized. ### 5/5 — Highly Recommend This App *2024-06-30* When you don’t know what to cook it’s so easy to just click on the app and do a search for ingredients you already have on hand. A series of recipes pop up and you can choose what you desire. Recipes are simple, delicious and healthy! If you are planning ahead, the shopping list is handy for the ingredients you need to pick up at the store. Makes life a little easier! Thanks Alexandra 😊🥰👶 ### 5/5 — My favorite app *2024-06-19* Such a helpful and well thought out app that's simplified my meal planning and shopping and made eating healthy meals so accessible! I love the shopping list generator and being able to plan menus right in the app. I only wish there was an ability to make separate Favorites lists, so I could have one for recipes I've loved and one for recipes I want to try. And maybe a recipe rating system to see what other people have rated highly or which ones might not work so well. (Though I've only found one recipe I didn't love, so maybe that's not actually needed!) ### 5/5 — The only recipe app I use *2024-06-12* The subscription is sooo worth it, because this is the most intuitive app I keep coming back to for over a year now. The recipes are VERY simple yet VERY delicious. But the best feature is the meal planner and shopping list! Literally my favourite part of the week is planning which yummy meals I’ll be making that week and curating my shopping list. The nutrition info is also very handy for plant based beginners. ### 5/5 — 😍 *2024-05-27, version 4.39* I am a full time college student who also works 2 full time jobs. This app is a blessing from god. I can’t believe how much I benefit and love every single recipe. It literally makes my shopping list and has its one calendar I freaking love this app! Alexandra is phenomenal. Happy vegan cooking ### 5/5 — Allergy friendly app! *2024-05-15* This is one of the vegan apps I have, but it’s the only one I’m using. I can select nut free recipes, plan out my weekly meals, and add all ingredients to the shopping list, while changing the serving size or swapping out nut recipes for other available options. Pontus answers emails promptly when you have a question, and thanks to Alexandra, my anxiety about food and meal prep is resolved. Today, I was able to eat 100% vegan with recipes from her app while planning and prepping ahead for the rest of the week. I no longer worry about my allergies with this app; this app makes the plantbased eating lifestyle approachable. I am truly grateful! Bisous from Paris Alexandra, Pontus, and Alina. ### 5/5 — Best recipes! *2024-05-15* Alexandra’s recipes are incredible in that they are super delicious but also super easy to make. I’ve been following her YouTube channel for close to 7 years now and her cooking remains my top food inspiration. This app is AWESOME! I couldn’t recommend it more! ### 5/5 — Best investment in my health. *2024-04-12* This app has been my favorite investment in my health and healthy eating lifestyle. I cherish it on a daily basis. All of the meals are balanced, nutritious and absolutely delicious. I’m so grateful that it exists. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Best Vegan App *2024-04-03* I absolutely LOVE this app! I have been using it for over a year & I can honestly say I haven’t had one thing I’ve made that I don’t like. I make something from app at least once a week. Never fails. Alexandria has really mastered the taste aspect of her recipes! I just made the lasagna from her app and it was so delicious that I had to come on here and leave a review 🤣 Thank you Alexandria for making my plant based journey successful. ### 5/5 — Best ever! *2024-03-09, version 4.37* This has changed my life! So many good and healthy recipes! Worth every penny! ### 4/5 — Love the app, wish it had landscape mode! *2024-03-04, version 4.37* The receipts are great, but if it had landscape mode (for my iPad) I’d give it 5 stars. Would also love to copy the shopping list as text. Great stuff! ### 5/5 — Five Sec Health App *2024-03-02, version 4.37* I absolutely LOVE all of the recipes. I only have one complaint! I have to turn my iPad SIDWAYS in order to use the app! Please fix this problem as I can’t be the only one. I use my iPad much more often than my phone to access the app. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2024-02-26* Just got this app and I’ve made 3 meals so far and every one was beyond delicious and would definately make again. You won’t regret purchasing this app and following on YouTube. Alexandra is such an inspiration for healthy cooking and lifestyle. ### 5/5 — THE BEST!! *2024-02-06, version 4.37* I love this app so much! Alexandra has clean, simple and absolutely delicious recipes. I love how clear and concise the directions are and pictures are beautiful. Makes weeknights a breeze if you forget to plan some thing or perfect if you decide to plan for the week and need all of the ingredients in a list to shop. Cannot say enough great things about it! On another note, follow her on YouTube if you do not already. Her cooking style is ideal for anyone! She makes my heart happy!! ### 5/5 — Recipes *2024-01-23, version 4.37* My go to place when I need a recipe . Especially when you need to use a particular ingredient . The app is very easy to use. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do Not Download *2025-03-01, version 4.43* I’ve been an Apple user since 2013. Not one time have I ever been charged for a free trial until this app. Apple said I had to pay it and then be refunded. I cancelled my subscription the SAME DAY it tried to charge me. Can’t download anything else that I need because of that. ### 1/5 — Careful they take your money fast and no refunds! *2024-09-15* I Signed up for a trial and immediately cancelled so that money wouldn’t be taken before I knew I was ready to commit and had used the app for the entire trial (after having trial subscriptions taking the payment before the trial was even over!) this particular one did exactly that..I had cancelled the subscription and not used it for more then a few days of the trial before the full year subscription was taken. I complained to Apple but they were no help. Be careful doing ANY trial unless you are happy to pay the full year subscription. I won’t even use this app as I was disappointed in it and can google these recipes but now I’m out of pocket as well 😣 ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2024-07-04* I started watching the youtube videos and thought the app will be good but definitely not worth the money. The free content on youtube is much more better than the recipes on this app. Not impressed either that on the website the app is advertised at 39.99 USD and I got charged 49.99 GBP. ### 1/5 — U had to subscribe *2022-02-01, version 4.22* 80% of the recipes u have to pay for. You can barely use the app for free. Deleted 20 mins after downloading. ### 1/5 — Bad *2021-12-07* Have to pay for almost all recipes ### 1/5 — T *2021-05-10* I can’t get the app to work it will not let me subscribe when I hit any link to subscribe it doesn’t work **Developer response:** Hi, Sorry for the inconvenience. Please contact cs@fivesechealth.com and we will help you ### 1/5 — useless *2020-08-31* the majority of the recipes you must pay for. if you are excited to find an app to give you some creative vegan recipes, do yourself a favour and use google instead. it’s not worth spending money on recipes you can find online ### 1/5 — Every recipe turned out awful *2020-05-30* Made 7 meals and two deserts from this app and they were all awful would never make again! Me and my partner are big cooks and huge fans of good vegan food, always hosting for dinner and home cook/bake everything etc but my god the recipes in this app need revising! Lots of over complications of the recipes too. Try Buzzfeed tasty instead. ### 1/5 — $$$ *2020-05-11, version 4.09* I understand people needing to make money but I think 3.99 per month is a little ridiculous. I can use pinterest or the Internet, but thought this app would be convenient and organized. The fact that I could only see two recipes after downloading the app is ridiculous. How should I even know if I’m willing to pay? I just think they’re taking advantage, especially using ads and not clarifying that it’s basically a subscription. ### 1/5 — As a European you can't use it *2020-04-13* I've deleted it, because I can't use the measurements. It's not a metric system, so ... that's bad. But the recipes sounds all good. **Developer response:** Hi Sindy! Actually you can change from cup to dl. Go to the "Home" tab -> Click on the menu in the upper right corner -> Scroll down to "Settings" and turn on the switch on the "Convert cup to dl". Done! We would really appreciate if you can consider change the rating if you feel that the app deserves a better rating now. Thanks! Best, Pontus & Alexandra ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps! *2026-01-01* Alexandra is amazing! I initially purchased this app to support her because she truly cares about what she puts out there in the world and my lifestyle and way of eating is aligned with hers. But, I’ve been using her app regularly for quite awhile and her recipes are absolutely delicious. The only thing I’ve ever done to “tweak” her recipes is to add a little more salt. That’s fantastic! Last night for New Years Eve I made her Orange Marzipan Truffles, I can’t remember the exact name but it’s these delicious little chocolate bon bons. They’re exquisitely delicious and so easy to make, this is such a typical ingenious recipe of hers. Thank you again Alexandra! ### 5/5 — The Best!!! *2025-08-10* Fivesec health is a great recipe app that truly focuses on real food—no processed sugar, no weird additives—just wholesome, plant-based ingredients that make me feel amazing. The recipes are simple but creative, and the natural sweeteners (like dates and bananas) make desserts guilt-free and delicious. The meal planner and shopping list save me so much time, and I love knowing every meal I make is nourishing my body. This app has made eating clean not just easy, but exciting! ### 5/5 — Love everything about this app!! *2025-04-15, version 4.44* Simple to use App with amazing, delicious and easy recipes. ### 5/5 — Best recipes ever *2025-03-19, version 4.43* The recipes here are so wholesome, healthy, based on real food and taste so good! ### 5/5 — Try it! *2025-02-13, version 4.43* I have so many cookbooks, but I am often without them due to traveling or other circumstances. This app is amazing. It comes with me on my phone and I have great vegan recipes wherever I am I really do love this app and Alexandra. ### 5/5 — Perfect recipes and app *2025-01-27* Love the recipes and family sharing. It would be nice to get a device synchronization so that the whole family can see the meal plan ### 5/5 — The best *2024-11-15, version 4.39* I honestly looooooooove this app so much. It’s really helped me learn how to go vegan in the most streamlined way and the recipes are incredible. My favorite cooking app. ### 5/5 — Great app cookbook *2024-10-24, version 4.39* Love most of the recipes so far, great yearly price with new recipes very frequently. The glow sauce is to die for and the oatmeal & mug cake recipes are a wonderful variety to have! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-08-09, version 4.39* Great recipes, so easy to organize and plan meals, including how to add to shopping list. Meals are delicious, healthy and vegan. Absolutely love this app. ### 5/5 — My Best Food Resource *2024-07-26, version 4.39* I use this app for at least two meals a day. Alexandra has cracked the code on *simple but delicious* vegan meals. I haven’t been disappointed with anything I’ve made and many things have become regulars (artichoke potato, ALL of the tempeh bowls, blended oats, tofu scramble, etc.) I have bought so so many apps and books but this is the closest match for my palate along with the amount of time I am able to spend on prep. These meals are also almost always standard vegan pantry ingredients also. So at any point I can open the app and find something to make. Also major bonus points for being the creator to get me to like tempeh! It used to make me gag and now it’s my favorite protein :) so grateful for this!! Totally worth the money and I’m happy to support!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
