### 5/5 — Hard to cancel

*2026-08-10*

For me, I don’t like this app. I cannot figure out how to stop the app from charging my account so it charged me $100 today and I did not want to keep the app because I wasn’t going to use it and I didn’t find it was what I needed so now I paid $100 for something I’m not going to use which now I’m gonna try to make myself use it but they do not make it easy for you to cancel your subscription or sorry it’s actually after you do the trial, it’s so hard to try to go in there and figure a way to stop it before it charges you $100. I will not use this app…

**Developer response:** Hi there, We are truly sorry to hear about this frustrating experience, and we would love to help you sort this out right away. Please email us directly at support@gronda.com so we can locate your account, assist you with the cancellation, and guide you on how to get your refund processed depending on where you signed up. Please reach out to us! Best, Giovanna

### 5/5 — Fabulous APP for serious cooks!

*2026-08-06, version 8.29.2*

I have learned so much from using this app! The customer support is accessible and prompt!

### 2/5 — Bad Reviews / App too Intrusive / High Prices

*2026-08-06, version 8.29.2*

App is too intrusive in getting access to contacts, search history, purchases, and so on. I don’t like apps that farm all your data! 
Also too many bad reviews. Prices are too high. 
To much AI generated media.
Not for me.

### 2/5 — Basic Features Malfunction

*2026-08-02*

For such a pricey app I would expect for basic functionality to be a lot better. The audio doesn’t play automatically as you can tell it’s meant to, and even when a video is selected , you often still need to tap the mute button on and off again to get the sound to start playing. Then, after about 15 seconds, the sound cuts off again. Smh. I wouldn’t try taking a master class in 15 second malfunction bursts butane that’s just me .

**Developer response:** Hi! We are truly sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the audio in our app, this is definitely not how it should be working. We want you to have a seamless learning experience, so please reach out to us directly at support@gronda.com so our team can get a few more details to investigate what is causing this glitch, and get it fixed for you as quickly as possible. We are here to help and hope to turn your experience around! Best, Giovanna

### 4/5 — Great app for home cook ideas

*2026-07-29*

I’m a home cook, love preparing new and exciting recipes. This app is great to gather ideas and prepare a different meal from the usual!

Minor gripe: a few updates back, you could access the conversations you had with your ai assistant, without needing to go to a specific recipe, that seems so have been removed and I lost some conversations with replacements and pairings I had.

**Developer response:** Hi Sergio! Thank you so much for the 4 stars and for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled that the app is inspiring your cooking. Regarding your note about the AI assistant history, you are right. Our team is actively discussing a solution to bring back easier access to your previous conversations and pairings. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as feedback like yours helps us make Gronda better for everyone. Thank you for being a part of our community, and happy cooking!

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-07-18, version 8.27.0*

Es la mejor app de cocina, te inspira para crear recetas fantásticas, la recomiendo 100%.

### 5/5 — Sunny

*2026-07-16*

Absolutely useful easy going recipes here

**Developer response:** Hi! 

Thank you so much for the 5 stars! It’s awesome to hear that you're enjoying the recipes! Thanks for being part of our community, and happy cooking

### 3/5 — How much does this cost?

*2026-07-14, version 8.26.0*

You’re telling me I have seven free days but you’re not telling me what I’ll have to pay after the seven free days

### 1/5 — Schade dass ihr so Unseriös seid

*2026-07-03*

Ich bin über dieses schön gemachte App gestolpert und bin in der Tat interessiert. Dass hierfür eine Gebühr anfällt, ist auch ok. Ich muss jedoch den kompletten Anmeldeprozess abschließen und dann noch auf „kaufen“ klicken, ohne irgendwo zu lesen, was dieses App nach Anlauf der Testphase kostet. Das geht gar nicht. Steht zu eurem Produkt und dem Preis und geht offen damit um. Ich persönlich mag solch intransparente
Produkte nicht und habe daher das App sofort wieder gelöscht, ohne auf „kaufen“ oder kostenlos testen zu klicken.
Schade eigentlich. Übrigens ist dies meine vierte Bewertung die ich jemals geschrieben habe. Normalerweise mache ich mir die Mühe nicht. Ich fand, ihr habt es verdient.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, especially since you rarely write reviews. We genuinely appreciate your honesty. We understand your frustration. Transparency is incredibly important to us, and it is never our intention to hide our pricing. Apple has it's own billing system and usually you can verify prices directly in the app store or before committing to the purchase.
We are truly sorry for this experience. If you ever decide to give us another chance, you can also buy directly from our website: Gronda.com for a more straightforward process.

Best regards, Giovanna

### 1/5 — Buggy app

*2026-06-24*

Very buggy. Sound constantly cuts out. Poor AI translations.

**Developer response:** Hi chef, sorry the app has been buggy. Sound cutting out shouldn't happen. We are working on this right now and will have a better version very soon. If you could send us the specific video you were watching that would be of big help. Best, Giovanna
