### 2/5 — Annoying when an app does that

*2024-05-10, version 2.1.6*

I am a fan of the recipes and content however it annoys me when an app does not clearly state upfront (before taking your data) that to access the content you will need to subscribe. Poor CX and UX.

### 2/5 — Very limited amount of Recipes

*2023-05-12, version 2.1.5*

The free website used to have a lot more recipes than can be found on the app.
I was disappointed to see such a limited amount

### 4/5 — Always love Teresa’s recipes!

*2022-12-02, version 2.1.3*

It’s great to have this easy to use app that gives me access anywhere I am to Teresa’s delicious recipes. The pictures are beautiful, the app is very user friendly. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I’d like to see new recipes being added more often.

### 4/5 — Healthy Chef

*2022-06-14, version 2.1.2*

This app is amazing, the recipes are all so nourishing ! And I absolutely love the programme’s. The only thing I would like to see if the nutritional info on each of the meals so you can see how many calories, carbs, sugars etc are in the recipes.

Other than this I cannot fault this app !

### 3/5 — Great recipes BUT....

*2022-01-17, version 2.1.0*

Would like to be able to print recipes and method.
I find it really annoying that I have to keep the App open so I can follow the recipe. Not happy!

### 3/5 — Meal plan

*2022-01-09, version 2.1.0*

I love the recipes and the design of the meal plan, the ease of moving recipes within the same week is great. The reason for my 3 stars, I’d like to be able to swap recipes to suit ingredients and vegetables available to me from any recipe available on the app, I can’t seem to find an option to do this?
Also knowing the calories or nutrient breakdown per serve consumed from each meal would be helpful so that when swapping a meal it is of similar calories and protein intake.

### 1/5 — I had the paid version.

*2022-01-03, version 2.1.0*

I had the paid version and since the update/change I can’t access anything. It doesn’t restore the purchases either. I liked the old app and its easy to use interface but this new update is just horrible. Anyways I deleted the app completely and will look for something else.

### 1/5 — Free trial didn’t work

*2021-11-22, version 2.1.0*

Tried free trial before moving to monthly billing. Couldn’t access recipes as the app kept asking me to subscribe…

### 1/5 — Rip off!!

*2021-09-20, version 2.1.0*

I paid $16 for this app 1 year ago. Now it’s asking me to pay for a monthly or yearly fee and I can’t find any of my saved recipes. Sorry but why do I have to pay again when I bought the app?!

### 1/5 — Not meeting my expectations

*2021-08-03, version 2.0.8*

Can’t work out how to use it. I’m not so clever with tech and this is just not simple enough. 

I thought it would be different. More tailored to keeping away from nominated ingredients

### 3/5 — Really miss the old App

*2021-05-18, version 2.0.7*

I absolutely love the Healthy Chef and her recipes but I am disappointed with the new app.  I felt the old app was so much easier to navigate and search for recipes.

### 3/5 — App

*2021-05-17, version 2.0.7*

Bit annoying having to use Apple password every time you open the app.

### 3/5 — Fantastic recipes pity about the sound

*2021-04-27, version 2.0.7*

I love the app, the ease of use and the recipes within but feel cheated that I have paid the full year subscription and still have no ‘sound’. 
The only way to get the free trial was to subscribe to the annual subscription, something I was happy to do but then with it being a long weekend I have not been able to get the full experience. 
I look forward to hearing from the team really soon so that I can get what I have paid for.

### 1/5 — Updated app now can’t sign in

*2021-04-16, version 2.0.7*

Annoyed as I used this app a lot cooking for my family and now I’m expected to buy it again to have access.

### 1/5 — Gutted - DONT UPDATE YOUR APP

*2021-04-02, version 2.0.7*

I’ve been following Theresa Cutter for a long time. I found her on the web and at the time she would personally engage with you and answer questions you had about substituting almond flour with spelt. I loved that! I was transitioning into a healthier lifestyle due to allergies and ibs and finding her was godsend. Bliss. 
Her app was released. (Not this one) A free one, with minimum recipes and the option to buy in should you wish for more recipes and engagement. I have all her digital books and 3 hard covers. I didn’t need to upgrade. The few recipes it shared where enough to help me when I needed a recipe on the go. I had a few there that were my to go to.  THEN... It said upgrade app. BIGGEST MISTAKE. all my free recipes were no more and I now have to pay to view everything. I was FURIOUS. guess it’s all about making money now. Really gutted. ☹️

### 1/5 — No access to original app

*2021-03-10, version 2.0.4*

Having paid for the original app several years ago I am now no longer able to access it since the subscription only app was implemented. 
Despite reading that those who already had the app prior to subscription would still have access to their paid content this is not the case!!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-01-10, version 2.1.6*

App closes every time I open a recipe.

### 1/5 — App closing while trying to open recipes

*2025-11-15, version 2.1.6*

This morning I wanted to make banana bread but every recipe I clicked on closed the app immediately. I restarted my phone, deleted the app and reinstalled and still not working…

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-09-22, version 2.1.5*

Recipes are great but the app
Is glitchy. Meal plans and shopping lists reset themselves after you modify them, recipes sizes can’t be adjusted and you can’t search within categories. I will stick to the recipe books.

### 1/5 — Content

*2023-06-10, version 2.1.5*

Needs more regular updating.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-02-09, version 2.1.4*

I signed up payed for 1 month and still can’t access the recipes.

### 1/5 — Great chef but terrible app

*2022-08-29, version 2.1.2*

Buy the recipe books instead. Even though I bought it on sale and it was a low price, it’s not worth the money. This is poorly put together - the recipes appear randomly thrown together , they aren’t really a plan at all.  There are days where it’s eggs for most meals and it often set a different baked good for everyday. 
The app is glitchy with errors.

### 1/5 — Bugs present

*2022-06-30, version 2.1.2*

Not syncing with correct date/time for country
Very glitchy and clunky

### 1/5 — Beware - impossible to cancel subscription!

*2022-06-27, version 2.1.2*

I have tried to log in through the usual systems to cancel the subscription. They make it so difficult. Beware that once you sign up it is difficult to cancel it.

### 1/5 — Complete rort! Paid for app and now can’t access the recipes I paid for!

*2022-04-02, version 2.1.2*

I previously paid for the app and enjoyed the recipes. However, since the app’s update I’m unable to access the recipes I previously paid for. I’ve emailed the app developer and got sent a link to subscribe to the new recipe and meal plans. They shouldn’t be making people pay twice! Absolute rort!

### 1/5 — I paid for the old app but the new one doesn’t recognise my user name.

*2022-03-13, version 2.1.2*

I loved the old app and recipes and now I no longer have access.

### 5/5 — The App

*2021-05-07, version 2.0.7*

The App is easy to use & a variety of foods u to o choose from.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2021-03-25, version 2.0.5*

The Healthy Chef App is brilliant! Easy to use, great functionality, amazing recipes and recipes by Teresa Cutter and excellent meal plans. I also love the shopping feature.

### 5/5 — Fantastic, easy to use App

*2021-03-23, version 2.0.5*

I’ve long been a fan of Teresa’s recipes. They always turn out perfectly, are super nutritious and always get comments! 
The app provides all of my favourite recipes and more. I really love the tutorial feature to help effectively navigate and make the most of the wealth of features. 
Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Best App

*2021-03-14, version 2.0.4*

This app has literally everything you can think of. It has definitely made everything easier. Deciding what meals to cook for the week has been a breeze. Even my shopping list has been all sorted. No more pieces of paper or screenshots on my phone.

### 5/5 — The best

*2021-03-10, version 2.0.4*

All you need for healthy eating in one place. Thanks Teresa!

### 5/5 — Paid for old app but developers reinstated.

*2021-03-02, version 2.0.4*

EDIT: Changed to 5 stars as the customer service by developers was excellent. They reinstated all the old recipes I had paid for on the old version of the app. Thank you.

I paid for the old app and used it often. The new version doesn’t recognise my email and none of the recipes I had access to before are available. I loved the old app so much and used the recipes a lot. Am disappointed it no longer is available to me.

### 5/5 — Healthy eating made easy

*2021-02-20, version 2.0.4*

This app is what I’ve always wanted! It’s like an encyclopedia for healthy eating. I choose browse through hundreds of meals and choose the ones I want then it creates a shopping list for me. Takes all the hard work out of clean, healthy eating. I love it! Thank you

### 5/5 — Intuitive and easy to follow

*2021-02-17, version 2.0.3*

I love the healthy chef app - it's clear, foolproof and so handy while shopping at the market. It's looks great on my iPad too. This new version makes meal planning even easier.

### 5/5 — Easy & delicious

*2021-02-14, version 2.0.2*

Super easy app to use with great easy to follow  recipes and beautiful images.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2021-02-10, version 2.0.1*

What a great app everything I’ve been looking for in the one place - Sooooo many amazing healthy recipes and I love the shopping list function. Super easy to use.
