App is buggy
All I get is a loading line . No photos. Can believe I paid for a year.
This will help you move to HEALTHY!
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.

No customer support
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!
Note for developers
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!

Great planner app; feature doesn't work
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.

Terrific App, but…
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

Lacks user friendliness
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.

Once upon a time ago
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

A Fantastic App
As a former bodybuilder and meal prepper, I was anxious about transitioning to plant-based diets. This app made it surprisingly easy. The grocery list is helpful. The fact that you can sync it to Amazon fresh and have it delivered is very convenient. The recipes are spot on and more often than not delicious.
If I could give one idea for improvement, as someone who counts macro nutrients, it would be to add the macro nutrient details to the Plan section above each day list of meals (protein, carb, fat). It is a bit tedious to calculate the macros by hand but it would be helpful for people like me who struggle to get their total daily requirement with 3 meals.

Lots of opportunities for improvement
I am unable to favorite recipes from any point in the app. The heart doesn’t keep its active state. I cannot print (url not found) recipes. Search is awful. I can put in the exact name of a recipe from a previous week and it will not appear in the search results.
I wish I could change the portions… even if I change the number of servings in my settings, the servings are still 4-6 per recipe.
Which is still waaaay too much for a single person eating all week. Additionally, an excellent feature would be to search using ingredients, but the basics of search need to be fixed first.

Everything I Needed
This has all the plant-based recipes in the library, plus I can add my own, plus it makes a grocery list. Noice.
Is there a glitch?
I am giving 5 stars now because as soon as I wrote my review, there was an update that fixed the serving size issue on my iPhone 16. Now I can change it with no problem !
I like the recipes. The only thing is driving me crazy is that it seems you are able to change the serving portions . Every time I click on the serving amount. The app freezes. I would really love if I could change to 1 or 3 portions depending on the amount of food I want to make for that day

Good app, but has bugs
I’m new to using this app but so far it looks to be pretty good. I’ve been using it on my iPhone but there is a bug. When I am in a recipe and try to change the servings, the app freezes every time. Please fix this.
Issues when buying one month at a time?
I feel crappy about giving such a low rating because I expected to love the app but I used my free trial a year ago so I went into this blind but I wanted to get the new year off on the right track. I purchased one month through the App Store intending on trying it out and buying a year if I loved it or cancelling the app of if I didn’t. Less than 12 hours and I’m finding it unusable. Here are the issues I’ve found so far:
1. the app suggested recipes that are locked to me. When I tap on the recipe it asks me to “upgrade to access” via a quarterly or annual membership. If a monthly membership isn’t a “full” membership with access to the full app please let us know. I feel like I spent $25 on a limited access app.
2. There are a number of recipes in the recipe box that are locked and request “upgrade to access” despite having purchased a subscription.
3. When I go to my settings the app shows I’m on the “free plan”. This leads me to believe this is the issue is why I have limited access.
I’ve cancelled my subscription and asked Apple for a refund. Sadly I don’t think it’ll come through and I feel like I overpaid for a lesson. I’m sure there are better alternatives out there, just do your research and try your best to get access to a free trial before you jump in. Also, buy your subscription through the actual FOK website rather than the App Store in order to maybe have better luck with a refund should you need it.

Integration
I purchased the forks over knives app thinking buying the recipes would give me access to the meal planner but you basically have to purchase them again to use this app. Waste of time
Issues resolved
Had a billing issue. They went above and beyond to fix it. Great customer service. So far love the recipes!
Fantastic meal prep
I love this app to have healthy meals ready for the week. Most recipes are a big hit, some have been misses.
DONT PAY FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION
I was excited for this app. I’ve eaten a plant based diet before and these recipes looked great. I even spent the $80 for a subscription because the free version only gives you a few options. BUT… the app doesn’t recognize that I have a subscription, even though it billled my Apple account. There is little to no customer service and I’m left scrambling to try to find a way to access the content that I paid for. Needless to say, I’m disappointed (and out $80).
