Buggy app

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

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

Not Paying!

I am not paying a dime for an app. Access should be free. Delete! Don’t waste your time or money.

Bonjour chef, ravi que les recettes et les vidéos vous plaisent. Merci pour votre retour ! Bien à vous, Giovanna

Not worth it

Nice idea but not worth paying for. I canceled through settings in the app and I better not get charged. Seeing reviews about people getting charged after canceling in the free trial makes me suspicious. I hate apps that are set up like this.

After full access, still need to pay more for recipes

After pay for full access, that wants you to pay more to see other recipes.

Predatory

Gives you no free content whatsoever and forces you to subscribe before finishing sign up, also not sure if it was just me but the only option they gave me was for the 100$ year purchase
As a professional in the industry, stick to YouTube

Hi There! Thank you for your feedback and for the 5 stars! We’re sorry to hear about the issues you had, that’s not the experience we want to provide. Please contact us at support@gronda.com so we can look into this and help resolve it as quickly as possible. Best, Giovanna

Doesn’t tell you cost before you sign up

I never got to use the app so I can’t comment on the content, but I’m annoyed that it forces you to sign up for free and of course signs you up to a potential subscription without giving you the cost up front. Felt like a con so I backed out and deleted the app. It’s a shame that you can’t try it without doing this step.

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience felt frustrating. We offer a 7-day free PRO trial so users can fully explore the app and its content before making any commitment. During this period, no charges are made, and you can cancel at any time before the trial ends. We understand your concerns and appreciate you sharing them.

I should have read the reviews first

The ads are misleading. I can’t find the recipes they were showing in the ads that is why I signed up. Now I am hooked into a $129 payment with an app with just nice food pictures on it. It is just a waste of money and can’t refund.

Hey there! We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. If you’re having trouble finding specific recipes, please feel free to contact us at support@gronda.com we’ll be happy to help you find them as quickly as possible. Regarding the refund, subscriptions purchased via Apple need to be requested directly through the App Store, as they manage all billing. If you need any guidance with this process, we’re also here to help.

I really hate “free trial” models

Free trial models are so annoying. I do get that these apps have high quality content and need people to pay to maintain that. However, it feels like these apps are relying on people forgetting that the 7 day trial is up or being too lazy to cancel, and generating income that way. What would be MUCH better is delivering value (having some content be free) and then letting people opt in to paying once the value has been demonstrated!! Real bummer because I really wanted to try this app.

Thank you for your honest feedback, we completely understand where you’re coming from. Our intention with the 7-day free trial is to give users full access to explore the app and decide if it’s the right fit, not to create a negative experience. We do offer a limited amount of free content, while the subscription supports our investment in high-quality recipes, masterclasses, and content from professional chefs around the world. We truly appreciate you considering Gronda and hope you might give it a try in the future.

Love this app

The fact that the recipes take 45 seconds and they are so simple and yet elaborated enough to a nice restaurant.

Great App

I wish there was someone that reviewed recipes. Review them for accuracy and full details in the method of preparation.

Lagging

Most videos lag. Some videos are incomplete, good thing the recipes are complete. Otherwise this new version is much much better than the old version and is a lot cheaper too.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience — it truly helps us continue improving.

Cool ideas, bad user experience

I want to like the app, and as a career chef, I love browsing interesting ideas and techniques. However, the app experience really gets on my nerves. First of all, you can’t avoid the videos autoplaying. I hate autoplay video. It’s takes over whatever you were listening to when you launch the app. Secondly, there’s no way to print or export the recipes in any way. When I want to try a recipe from Gronda, I usually end up writing the recipe by hand. I prefer to import recipes into other apps where I can take notes and refer to them later. Another nitpick is that it’s not very good at searching recipes by ingredient, or technique. It would also be nice to search recipes by equipment, such as thermomix or pacojet. Hopefully the experience improves before my next renewal comes due.

Hi there! Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback, and especially for using Gronda as a professional chef. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Your suggestions regarding autoplay control, exporting or printing recipes, improved search by ingredient or technique, and filtering by equipment are all excellent ideas. We’ve shared your feedback with our product team, as insights like yours are incredibly valuable in helping us improve the app experience. Thank you again for being part of the Gronda community and for giving us the opportunity to do better.

Needs proofreading !

The recipes are inspiring but the spelling errors are glaring. “Howers” instead of “hours”? Poke “wholes” the instead of “holes”? I could go on. One could attribute this to the fact that maybe not all chefs know how to spell, but the errors are so consistent across the recipes that they cannot be attributed to individual chefs. For the amount of money they’re charging I think they can afford proofreaders.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for the 4-star review, we’re glad you find the recipes inspiring. You’re absolutely right that spelling and consistency matter, especially at the level of quality we aim to deliver. We sincerely apologize for the errors you’ve encountered. Our content comes from chefs all over the world, but that’s not definably not an excuse. We’re continuously working on improving proofreading and editorial processes to ensure a more polished experience. We truly appreciate you pointing this out.
