### 5/5 — First week review

*2026-08-06, version 4.48.0*

I like the fact that I can choose how many meals I want each week as this allows for eating out with friends as well

### 1/5 — Doesn't actually work properly on an iPad

*2026-07-31, version 4.47.0*

Tried to report an ingredient problem, the app then pops up a window where the "Continue" button is not visible or clickable and the window won't scroll.

Maybe test the app before releasing it to your customers?

### 5/5 — First meal 10/10

*2026-07-28, version 4.46.0*

GOCHUJANG BEEF UDON NOODLES First attempt at cooking our Gousto meal tonight and it was a great success. Clear instructions, quality products and we were full and satisfied. Looking forward to the menus for the rest of the week.

### 5/5 — Actually tasty food, good for disabled people

*2026-07-26, version 4.46.0*

I really struggle cooking and usually it lands on my partner to do tea or we get a takeaway. Since getting Gousto I’ve been cooking twice, sometimes three times a week and it’s really been a game changer. The recipes are really delicious and the choosing process is a nice, easy thing to do every week together. 
For me, having everything portioned out and being able to flick through recipe step by step on iPad really helps me manage what used to be a stressful energy zapping ordeal whenever I tried to cook! Highly recommend - I already have to a lot of friends and family.

### 1/5 — Taking money without asking

*2026-07-02, version 4.43.0*

Not happy that Gousto took £27 out of my account because I renewed my subscription. I hadn’t even placed an order. Plus there was no forewarning about this.

### 4/5 — First Try

*2026-06-14, version 4.40.0*

Food was very tasty however a couple of the fresh ingredients were poor quality

### 5/5 — Dinner solved

*2026-05-31, version 4.38.1*

My son recommended gusto and I’ve now had 3 deliveries all food is fresh, plenty for two people and great options. All options so far have been excellent quality! Easy to follow instructions for cooking one thing we have done is on receiving delivery split the meals into separate food bags then it’s just a case of pulling the bag out of fridge sometimes pot luck what we are having for dinner but there are no bad meals.

### 5/5 — Pleased

*2026-05-27, version 4.37.0*

Great, fresh ingredients, easy to follow instructions and good value for money

### 5/5 — I

*2026-05-17, version 4.36.0*

Y

### 1/5 — Poor Filter Options

*2026-04-22, version 4.32.0*

The app could be more user friendly when it comes to saving favourites. When a favourite is saved, there is no way to move this to an order. If you search for the favourited recipe in the search bar, it can’t find it and you end up scrolling lots of recipes to try and find it. The search facility cannot cope with more than one word!
