### 1/5 — App is buggy

*2025-12-03, version 1.7.5*

All I get is a loading line . No photos. Can believe I paid for a year.

### 5/5 — This will help you move to HEALTHY!

*2025-10-10, version 1.7.1*

I’ve been vegan before and the only thing that made me give it up was just trying to find recipes and options to help with variety. With this app—-I have it all now! I love the recipes in the planner but even better I canNOT live without the grocery shopping list now! You thought of everything and your chefs are the BEST! Thanks for saving my life one meal at a time.

### 1/5 — No customer support

*2025-09-20, version 1.7.1*

Customer support for me has been non existent! The APP never registered my payment and I’ve spent all week trying to get customer support. I’ve sent 3 different messages and none have been responded to. Please respond so I can start using the APP…. This is so frustrating!

### 5/5 — Note for developers

*2025-08-06, version 1.6.8*

Just a note - when someone clicks to sign up for a subscription, the calculated weekly cost and estimated savings of an annual subscription are not accurate. 

Great app!

### 3/5 — Great planner app; feature doesn't work

*2025-07-14, version 1.5.2*

It's been a couple months. I'm back to take a star off because the "favorite" recipe feature doesn't work in the app. The app itself is great, but there are so many recipes that if you can't build a reliable list of "crowd favorites", it's hard to keep the family engaged.

Update: the "favorite" receipt feature now works in the app.

Next buttons that exists, but does not work in the app: print! The button, it does nothing.

### 5/5 — Terrific App, but…

*2025-06-25, version 1.5.2*

I love this app. So easy to use. However, it keeps telling me to update the app but no matter how many times I press the ‘update now’ button it does absolutely nada. I tried closing it and reopening it. I tried closing it and opening it from the App Store. Still nothing. So my last effort will be offloading the app altogether and re-downloading it. What a pain… if it works.

Did not work! Now what

### 3/5 — Lacks user friendliness

*2025-05-15, version 1.4.4*

I’m not able to zoom in on the ingredients list. 
There’s no reviews or pictures made by previous people who’ve made the dish. 
Even allrecipe has these features and their basic.

### 2/5 — Once upon a time ago

*2025-04-29, version 1.4.4*

This app once was amazing, until it wasn’t!  I regrettably purchased the year in advance.  Zero of the tools work anymore. I cannot save recipes as favorites. I cannot print recipes, I cannot export recipe to MyFitnessPal.  I have been a longtime customer who prepaid for a service that can’t seem to fulfill. Hope FOK fixes this
