Different
I love the variety of recipes. I have also never had a failure or disaster suggesting the testing is thorough.
Crazy expensive!
I’d love to use this app however I need a lifetime subscription to keep access to saved recipes! Thanks but no thanks I’ll buy books which pay once and give lifetime access.
Can’t log in without cookies
I keep on getting error alerts and can’t log into it with guardian account. It says this is because I don’t have cookies turned on which includes directed advertising. I deliberately don’t have cookies on for this reason so if you aren’t keen on your data being used in this way don’t bother.
User feedback enhancement
I really enjoy this app and appreciate the fabulous variety of contributors authors. What is missing is the invaluable reviews, helpful tips and community fostered by reader cooks. (See NYT app)
The Feast Recipes
I’m an American who appreciates the honesty and Integrity of The Guardian and Feast is free with my monthly payment. I am a very good cook and baker, but I would make very few of the very British recipes with so many ingredients that would not be readily available in stores and probably very expensive from online sources. Can’t be just the US that’s in a groceries crunch right now. Wishing you would have more American friendly and basic recipes. And dishes that don’t take forever to prepare. Don’t people amongst The Guardian subscribers have jobs to be tired when they get home to have less arduous to prepare recipes that can be ready to eat before midnight?

Response from developer
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. In the past few months, we've introduced lots of new American-based cooks who are developing quick and easy midweek recipes with American ingredient pack sizes and readily available ingredients in mind. This month we'll also release some specifically budget-friendly recipes, too, so do look out for those.
Formerly great resource
I really liked this and used it regularly. However it is prone to editorial errors in the text and inaccurate quantities. Feast has now stopped recipes with beef for environmental reasons but offered me a veal recipe as an alternative. I sympathise, with the sentiment, but this totally up itself.
Highly recommended
Love this app. So many recipes and cook mode is brilliant.
Put the ingredients in the method
When you put the app into cook mode, it would be helpful to have the ingredients listed for each step so you don’t have to keep going back to the ingredients list.
I don’t really understand why the nutritional value of the recipes can’t be included. Given that pretty much every other food website does this, it’s limiting the app’s users to people who don’t care about the nutritional content. I meal plan every week and a lot of my choices are based on nutrition.

Feast indeed!
Love these recipes, turn to them all the time. Genius collection!
Recipes not checked
Yet another recipe tonight with 2 items on ingredient list that are not then mentioned in the cooking method. Getting tedious.
Edit: Recipes restored after being lost for a week.
Edit: after a second attempt to sort out the issue the technical team came to the rescue and the recipes are back. I don’t really understand why they went or why they’re back. I think the initial chat function was desperately unhelpful (saying it was all unrecoverable) and I’m grateful to the technical team for sorting it out. I will probably keep the account now but I’m wondering if a backup is available because it was a blow when I thought everything, including my notes, were all lost.

Hello, The developers saw this review and want to take a closer look. Please email feast.feedback@theguardian.com, and our team can investigate.
Unreliable saved recipes function
I’ve been using this app for nearly a year and saving recipes into folders, a significant part of the reason for having the app. Then, for no particular reason, the app lost all my saved recipes. I contacted the help function and the recipes aren’t recoverable, they just said sorry about that. I’m not renewing my subscription and the guardian says I have to go to Apple to enquire about my money back. Most unsatisfactory and disappointing.

An all round culinary resource
Feast is now my first choice recipe finder. It’s inventive, eclectic & comprehensive. Used on my mobile, helpful when shopping ingredients and my tablet, great in Cooking mode when in the kitchen preparing & cooking the dish.
Felicity Cloake & Rachel Roddy’s recipes are a distillation of years of experience. Ottolenghi adds new twists and flavours to old favourites. The list goes on & on.
Keep up the good work. Thank you

Daily adventures
I have to confess to having become a ‘Feast dish of the day’ tragic! So many new ideas and combinations 😊
Inspiration
I’m not enough of a cook to pay for this app on its own but it’s included in my Guardian subscription. I like the range of recipes, the layout, and being able to set filters for dietary preferences. It’s mostly the recipes that are published in the paper/on the website so they’re on the fancy side, with lots of desserts. Therefore, for me, it would be nice if the app-exclusive recipes included more everyday/store cupboard/batch cookable vegetarian mains.

Fresh ideas every day!
I switched from the NYT cooking AP and have been pleased as punch! I love the range of cuisines and flavours. Only one wish- the addition of nutritional info would be amazing!
Top Notch
Delicious recipes handily at your fingertips!Improvement on piles of paper feasts in kitchen.Thank you!
Still glitchy and a bit limited.
Good to have all these recipes in on place. But since it’s not cheap, the app itself is still very glitchy and missing some key features. E.g. it’s not possible to search your own saved recipes (or to filter a search by save recipes). Also whenever I click a link from a notification on my phone it doesn’t take me to the advertised recipe. So that’s pretty pointless. And for the iPad version, the recipe card is very small, there is a lot of wasted screen space. Would be better to have a large recipe card to it can be read from further away.
