### 5/5 — Easy recipes

*2025-05-23, version 2.1.1*

I really like the recipes and easy to follow

### 2/5 — Irritating

*2023-06-27, version 2.1.0*

A free download sure, but the really good looking recipes are locked. So to get them you have to pay for it.  Not worth it.

### 2/5 — Difficult to read, text not resizable

*2023-03-28, version 2.1.0*

It's not good because the app doesn't respect "dark mode" or text size and the text cannot be enlarged. A website would be just as fine if not better than this.

### 5/5 — 99% Perfect!

*2022-09-26, version 2.1.0*

This app is stunning to look at and the recipes are mostly things that look absolutely deliscious to me.  It took me a minute to figure out the navigation of things.  All that’s missing in my opinion is the nutrition details for each recipe. Calories, protein, carbs, fat, etc.

### 5/5 — What I’ve been missing

*2022-07-25, version 2.1.0*

I’m going to be honest here, I’m NOT a cook or good at knowing what to make. Especially, since I became vegetarian two years ago. Some days I know I don’t get the nutrition I need. Why? I have no clue what to make. I have tried to find easy recipes but everytime I come across a video recipe marked easy, it turns out to take hours to make. Plus my oven currently doesn’t work lol. 

I stumbled across this app looking for something else but decided to download it. Omg it’s what my brain has been missing. 

Great recipes. There’s very simple ones (yes not everything requires an oven haha) and this app will be staying on my phone. 

The app I was actually looking for ended up being a dud. That’s okay. This app made up for it! 

If you’re vegan or vegetarian like me, you need this app.

Thank you!

### 2/5 — Often Missing Ingredients

*2022-03-08, version 2.1.0*

Ingredients list do not match the images of the meals. There is a paella meal for instance and it doesn’t even mention the rice, the type or quantity, which is the main ingredient. The amount of recipes is pretty scarce as well.

### 5/5 — Wonderful recipe options

*2021-05-24, version 2.0.1*

I love the variety of gluten free vegan recipes. Healthy and fun to make for my family. 
Thank you

### 4/5 — Very helpful but would like to see some tweaks

*2021-05-17, version 2.0.1*

Nice recipes, great photos, helpful re shopping and meal planning. I’d like to be able to toggle the shopping list between By Recipe and By Aisle. I also avoid grains so I’d like to be able to exclude recipes with grains, or any I don’t like, so they no longer show as options.

### 5/5 — Great recipes!

*2021-04-23, version 2.0.1*

I’m love this app. It is easy to sort depending on diet and there is a nice variety of recipes

### 3/5 — Free version limited

*2021-04-01, version 2.0.1*

As free apps go, this has only a limited number of recipes compared to others.
