### 3/5 — Recipes not saving

*2025-03-18, version 5.1.4*

Overall, I’ve loved using this app but recently I’ve been unable to save more recipes. Hoping this gets resolved

### 2/5 — Ok but

*2025-01-14, version 5.1.4*

So has good recipes, great spices and seasonings however when you try to save a recipe or create a group of favorites it causes a glitch and does not work. I think this could be a good app however, it’s not working properly!

### 2/5 — Frustrated

*2025-01-07, version 5.1.4*

Been trying to figure out how to print grocery list and/or recipes. Not easy to figure out.

### 3/5 — I love McCormick, but……

*2024-05-20, version 5.1.3*

I am on the iOS app on my iPhone 14 Pro.  I find it ridiculous that there isn’t a search option, in the products section. I have zero interest in hunting products down by scrolling and scrolling.

### 5/5 — FM

*2023-07-25, version 4.13.1*

It’s great!

### 5/5 — Delicious

*2023-04-04, version 4.12.0*

Uncomplicated recipes. I love this app😋😋

### 4/5 — Add More Gluten Free Options!

*2023-02-14, version 4.10.1*

I would love to use the weekly recipe builder, but not enough gluten free options.

### 5/5 — Ginger cookies

*2022-12-14, version 4.10.1*

The best I have ever found . Delicious!!!

### 5/5 — Debbie Baker caterer

*2022-12-11*

40 years cooking for so many , I have always used McCormick spices! Can’t make tasty meats, veggies or desserts without your excellent products! Thanks for helping make me a better caterer!!😋

### 5/5 — ❤️

*2022-12-01, version 4.10.1*

I’m loving this app!

### 5/5 — Enjoy

*2022-11-23, version 4.10.1*

I’m interesting to learn new recipes, enjoy to make everything and thank you for me to learn it…

### 3/5 — Has Potential

*2022-11-19*

This could easily be a 5-star app if it weren’t for 2 small functions. The first thing I’d suggest: instead of hitting a button to randomize the next recipe, maybe give a list to choose from. The second, and most important, a change to the population of the grocery list from the chosen recipes. Instead of having a separate “ingredient” for same ingredients, just combine them. For example, say one recipe calls for 1/4 cup minced onion, whereas another calls for 1/2 cup chopped onion. You’ll need a whole onion, so why not populate it that way in the list?

### 5/5 — New app.

*2022-11-02, version 4.9.2*

Just down loaded the app.  Very easy to use.  I’m sure that I can use the app to bring much more variety to my daily meals.

### 5/5 — Patricia

*2022-09-22, version 4.9.1*

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2022-09-19, version 4.9.1*

### 1/5 — Regarding an order

*2024-12-17, version 5.1.4*

Ordered 12/3.   Was sent an incomplete order, can not get in touch with anyone.  Left messages, phone call, 
Another message.    No return anything.    They state they get back with 48 hours.   Not true.  Don’t order from this company.   They do not help when there is a problem

### 1/5 — Commercial

*2024-10-07, version 5.1.3*

While the recipes sound good it is only after the borage of ads which made me delete this app as I know my grand mothers recipes were made by knowing

### 1/5 — I can’t save anything

*2024-05-12, version 5.1.3*

I used to be able to save a recipe in the app but no matter what I do I’m not able to save anything anymore.

### 1/5 — Great App - but currently crashing on logon

*2024-05-12, version 5.1.3*

This has a been a great app in the past - love the ability to scan the amounts of spices you currently have. As others noted the app is currently crashing:freezing on login - hope they fix it!

### 1/5 — If you log into an account, the app stops working.

*2024-05-04*

Multiple times now I’ve used the app to log into my account in order to take advantage of all the app’s features, and once I log in, the app stops working and refuses to load. I really like McCormick spices and use the recipes on the website but it’s very disappointing that they can’t even make an app version of their website that works.

### 1/5 — Jill M

*2022-09-05, version 4.9.1*

Screw this app to hard to make an account!!! I’ll stick to Pinterest!!!

### 1/5 — No - No option for food allergies/dislikes

*2022-08-16, version 4.9.0*

We are a non seafood house and 90% of the recipes that suggested are seafood.

### 1/5 — Poor Development!  Cannot Print Recipes!

*2021-11-30*

Got sucked into this app when I saw an ad in a magazine with a recipe I wanted to try.  However, there is no print function for my iPhone. I even tried sending the recipe in an email, but all it did was download the app to a different phone. 
Poor development!  If you’re not a person who cooks from online recipes, look some other place for recipes or be prepared to write by hand anything you want to try from this app.

### 1/5 — Not as Advertised (Dietary Restrictions)

*2021-08-24*

Maybe this app is great, maybe the recipes are great. I don’t know because I stopped looking through it when I realized that what they meant when they said you can “set your flavor preferences and dietary restrictions” is that you can sort recipes by vegetarian and gluten-free. While that’s great, it’s hardly all encompassing, and it doesn’t allow me to find recipes based on my dietary restriction, which happen to be one of the other 8 major allergens. 

It’s fine if an app doesn’t do that, just don’t lie about it and waste my time.

### 1/5 — No organization. Requires signup.

*2020-08-13, version 3.1.2*

I wanted to browse, but it's just videos and articles, not recipes. Want to make a meal plan? Gotta sign up and log in.

Cannot be bothered. Suppose if you like cooking videos and a very immediately frenetic "home" screen (with like 3 videos showing at once, and I'm on a 1st gen SE…), it might be useful.

Instant-delete for me.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-04-19, version 5.1.3*

Gatta love the meal planner they allow us to use. Super easy and simple. 
Love all the recipes they include.

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2024-03-01, version 5.1.2*

We have made many of the recipes and my family loves them all

### 5/5 — Hidden gem

*2023-12-03*

This app is FULL of great recipes!  I’m using the sweet potato pie recipe and it’s a tried and true one-So many other recipes to choose from!  Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Easy recipes with simple ingredients

*2023-11-14*

Very pleased with this app. It helps with meal planning. Many recipes have a few simple ingredients and are easily made. I have dietary restrictions and am able to find many gluten & dairy free recipes or can modify them as needed.

I am usually able to find the McCormick products I need at one of the 2 grocery chains in my area but, sometimes I have to go to both stores. Would be nice if I could order single packets online!

I have one development ask: I would like to be able to add notes to the recipes so I can remember modifications for the next time. I will definitely repeat many recipes!
