Both times were during times when I was cooking and needed to refer to a recipe on the app. The first incident was fixed in a few hours. I’m shocked that the same thing happened the next day. Please fix the bugs. This is an amazing app, but it’s useless if I can’t depend on the app being available when needed. ### 2/5 — No free trial. *2025-06-29, version 2.0.10* I’m honestly afraid to subscribe to this app after seeing the reviews. It offers no free trial so that I can see if it’s as glitchy as the reviews say it is. I’ll pass on the subscription until it offers a free trial. Also $6.99 a year is a lot if the recipes aren’t updated. ### 2/5 — Great recipes, horrible app *2024-09-12, version 2.0.5* App stalls and crashes every time I try to see my favorites, and stalls while scrolling every 5 images. It’s so frustrating I’m canceling my subscription. ### 2/5 — Lame *2023-08-16, version 1.9.9* They had some really good recipes on there. The directions were not that clear from start to finish. The app allows you to review 25 recipes before it makes you subscribe. ### 3/5 — Very Glitchy *2023-07-23, version 1.9.9* I’m would give this app 4 stars for the amount of recipes but it is so glitchy that I spend twice the amount of time that I should. Yesterday I went through and bookmarked about 50 recipes, only to find out that the bookmarks didn’t work. Every time I use the app, it crashes at least two or three times which is really frustrating. You can read the featured but if you click on the link to the recipe it’s blank. What’s the point of having an article featuring recipes that are blank. If you like something, it should show up in your account that you’ve liked that recipe. Since I am paying a monthly subscription, I feel this app should not be having all of these problems. ### 2/5 — Pros and cons of this app *2022-11-27, version 1.9.4* Pros: Lots of interesting recipes for vegan and vegetarian dishes. Cons: 1) Many of the recipes are poorly written and clearly not edited or reviewed by the site moderators. Typos are common. Ingredients are often not listed in the ingredients but included in the preparation section, sometimes vice versa. 2) It runs a subscription verification every time I go on the app. I’m sorry, these are recipes, not top secret nuclear codes. 3) The option to “try it before you buy it” is extremely limited. You can scroll through a list of sample recipes but you cannot do even one search without subscribing. The cost is not unreasonable and you can do a minimum of 3 months, but still, people are going to subscribe based on perceived value, which is why they should offer a 7- or 14-day free trial. That way you get willing rather than resentful subscribers. 4) Every recipe has a share button. But it does not actually share the recipe, it just sends a link to the website so that the person I share it with can go through the same baloney described above. 5) There is no print option because they are trying to be environmentally responsible. But I like to print a recipe when I’m making it, not constantly refer to my iPad. So instead I take screenshots of the recipe and print those out which requires more pages and more toner than would be used if there was a succinct and well formatted print option. Everyone of these five items represents a bad business practice. Unless they clean up their act, I’ll probably not renew my three month subscription. ### 2/5 — Diet pushing ads *2022-11-27, version 1.9.4* No problem with the app itself but multiple ads for ‘Perfect Body’ telling me ‘What to eat to lose weight’ every 4 recipes is a no from me. I came for vegan recipes not enforced dieting. ### 2/5 — It’s free to load the app but you can’t see recipes *2022-01-29, version 1.9.3* I was hoping for healthy recipes and instead I found an app that shows a lot of dessert recipes and then says you’ve expired the 25 recipes you’re allowed to see for free. You don’t get to choose the subject of the 25 recipes. To me it’s obvious that this app isn’t worth it. It’s a shame because we need some good apps to share vegan recipes. ### 1/5 — No access *2022-01-19, version 1.9.2* I clicked on 3 recipes and it told me I had reached the limit of 25 recipes. Waste time, goal is money (of course) but the free version doesn’t even last long enough to explore it. Deleted. ### 1/5 — NOT FREE *2022-01-01, version 1.9.2* If your really vegan you should not have to pay for a subscription to eat look up recipes online these people are just trying to make a quick buck not worth it to even download. ### 3/5 — Good little app *2021-11-29, version 1.9.0* The recipe and look of the app are great, but there just needs to be some fixes to the bugs on the app - for example if you click on a few recipes and then try to save that recipe as a bookmark, it will either crash the app and make is shut down and it won’t bookmark it OR you lose the arrow cursor to go back to the home page to look at other recipes which means you have to restart the app. Other then these, the app is cool, inspiring and very helpful when stuck on a foodie idea. ### 4/5 — So many tasty options! *2021-08-19, version 1.9.0* I hate having to look for new recipe ideas. Endless searching and then having to scroll though a story about why they’ve created the recipe is just pointless. This app makes it so easy to have it in all one place with clear directions! Such a fun place to find new things and easy to navigate. The only thing I would say is to make a folder for the free recipes so that when I refer it to my friends they can get a good taste of how it works. ### 3/5 — Paid advertising? *2021-08-18, version 1.9.0* I have a subscription yet am subjected to seeing ads every few recipes. Not cool. Won’t be renewing. ### 3/5 — Las recetas son buenas *2021-08-14, version 1.9.0* Las recetas son buenas, pero alguna falta agregar el método de preparación y la app corre muy lento. Deberían de mejorar, tengo la versión premium la cual dice que no hay anuncios y estos jamás se han quitados Tiene algunos errores la app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Subscribed but app doesn’t know it *2026-04-07, version 2.0.13* I’ve been trying to use the app for several days. I subscribed a while ago and forgot about the app. Now I’m trying to use it, and it keeps prompting me to subscribe. But when I look at my subscriptions on my phone, it shows that I’m already subscribed. I’ve emailed you for several days (with a screenshot of my subscription) and nobody answers my emails. I’m hoping this gets your attention and someone answers my emails & you fix whatever is wrong. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-08-12, version 2.0.11* The 1st recipe I chose to make & bought the ingredients for, was not there when I was ready to cook it. I wrote the app provider & have heard nothing back from them. ### 1/5 — Diet focused app *2025-01-19, version 2.0.8* This app is branded as a vegan recipes app but it’s really just a weight loss app. Makes you answer all these weight questions before even getting to the food. No thanks. ### 1/5 — I feel cheated *2023-10-08, version 2.0.3* I paid for a yearly subscription. And yet, i get ads from google all the time. I paid precisely because i hate ads. Don’t bother with this ap. ### 1/5 — Can’t set up account *2023-03-24, version 1.9.4* I paid for the subscription but the app won’t allow me to set up a password! Can’t use the app! ### 1/5 — Don’t Subscribe! *2023-03-04, version 1.9.4* This App COULD be awesome! BUT IT DOES NOT WORK!!!! This app CRASHES every single time I use it. Open it and try to click on the main menu? Will not open. Open a recipe and then try to go back to the home page? No back button, no menu button, no nothing! You have to CLOSE and REOPEN the app every single time you want to find a recipe. If you open a recipe and save it to favorites, but you have to close the app to leave the page, then it will not save the recipe. If you search for the recipe by name the app cannot find it. The only thing I can do on this app without it crashing is browse recipes from the “Latest Recipe” tab. The recipes look fantastic!!!! But the app is atrocious!! Worst app ever! PLEASE FIX THE APP! Please make it do what it promises to do! I would happily pay more than the current subscription cost IF IT WORKED!! Most frustrating experience with an app I have ever had. ### 1/5 — Does not seem to work *2022-08-23, version 1.9.4* After downloading the app I was unable to perform basic operations like search for recipes by an ingredient, etc. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Advertisements even if you subscribe *2022-05-22, version 1.9.3* I have the ads firewalled so I don't see them, but even after subscribing there are ads all over the place. I regret downloading and wasting money on this app. As soon as my subscription ends I'm deleting the app. Very disappointed as this app seems like it has so much potential. ### 1/5 — Frustrating UI *2022-05-09, version 1.9.3* I probably wouldn’t leave this review if I didn’t submit helpful UI feedback and got a response from admin that was defensive. So now I will share what is wrong with this app. First I do like the pictures and there seem to be lots of recipes. But when you like a recipe, you can never go back to your likes. And bookmarking a recipe take several steps which is cumbersome. And when you select ingredients that you’d like and it goes and your profile for recipes that they could recommend, there’s no where to find those recommendations based on the things that you were liked. So I find it unusable. Might as well search the Internet for recipes and not pay four dollars a month. There must be an app out there where I can simply choose the foods that I like and I get only those recipes that include those foods. ### 1/5 — Recipes *2022-04-01, version 1.9.3* These recipes seem a little complicated is a lot of ingredients ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Food monster *2024-02-04, version 2.0.4* Presents before food so Weill I realise how scrumptious it is - ex carnivore turned herbivorous! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2023-08-24* I love how that as a vegetarian, I appreciate the extensive collection of plant-based recipes that are both flavourful and nutritious. The app also provides options for gluten-free, vegan and other dietary preferences. ### 5/5 — Its like my personal chef *2023-08-22* This is my go to app for all the things for vegan or healthy food related. It’s like having a personal chef in my pocket. 🙂 ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2023-08-21* As a food lover I can confidently say that the FoodMonsterapp is a game-changer. I never run out of plantbased cooking ideas.Weather I am craving comfort food or exploring new cuisines this app doesn’t disappoint! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app for food enthusiasts *2023-08-08* The Food Monster app is a fantastic for food enthusiasts. The app interface makes it easy to navigate and discover new recipes daily. The instructions and visuals are eazy to follow along. Overall, its a reliable app which updates daily and is a userfriendly. ### 5/5 — Obsessed!! *2021-08-10, version 1.9.0* This menu is fantastic! Makes good vegan recipes easy to find rather than endlessly scrolling through Google or Pinterest. Can’t wait to impress my friends and family with more of these unique/ delicious vegan meals!! ### 5/5 — Great For Beginners *2021-08-09, version 1.9.0* I’m not vegan, but have been trying to incorporate more vegan recipes into my life as I want to eat more sustainably. This app is great if you’re looking for simple vegan recipes!! ### 5/5 — SO MANY RECIPES *2021-08-09, version 1.9.0* I love this app! There are so many recipes, it makes finding plant-based options easy. I also love that the recipes are not all from the same person, you get such a variety in tastes/flavors and cooking skill levels by having multiple people contribute. Literally something for everyone! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2021-06-04, version 1.8.10* Love this app so much!
