### 5/5 — Love this app!!!

*2026-07-13, version 2.4.184*

I love the sheer variety available:  breakfasts, both sweet & savory; lunches; dinners; desserts; snacks!  I find the directions for preparing an assembling the meals invaluable. The desserts are simple, healthy, and truly delicious & satisfying. Everything has flair to it that makes many of the taste and presentationrestaurant worthy!

### 5/5 — Finally, Weight Loss AND Health!

*2026-07-13, version 2.4.184*

I cannot say enough about this NEW LIFESTYLE.  I found HMM on Facebook, and liked the sound of it.  I have always cooked but even if that had not been the case, they show you how with MASTER CHEF LI
Z!  I have fought my weight since High School and am now in my late 70’s.  Always ate fairly healthy (I thought) BUT the older I got, the more I battled weight and what comes with it.  High Blood Pressure, bad knees, High Cholesterol.  I have been on HMM for less than a year.  I have lost 45 LBS, but besides that, my doctor is amazed.  ALL of my numbers are normalizing.  She is now taking notes for her other patients.  The food is excellent, the program is excellent.  Everything is there for you, you only need ask if you need help.  Love, love, love HMM!

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.184*

I’m a functional nutrition counselor and have been using this app personally for over a year now. I have recommended it to family, friends, and clients. I love its flexibility to use that week’s menu or see previous meals and menus. It has helped my husband and I enjoy cooking together in the kitchen. It’s been essential in keeping my weight, blood sugar, and cholesterol down.

### 5/5 — Great plan

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.186*

I appreciate everything I’ve learned from HMM.

### 5/5 — You get what you put into it

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.184*

I did the trial and then did a one month just to see. I am now signed up and so grateful for the variety of recipes and the explanations on how each recipe affects my body. After one month my cholesterol levels evened out and I dropped weight. With common sense, these recipes and the encouragement of Anna, Chef Lizzie and the rest of the crew you can succeed!

### 5/5 — Homemade Method

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.184*

Not a diet! Let go of the dieting mindset, let your body heal, and find the freedom to listen to your body with expert coaches and supportive community!

### 5/5 — Homemade Method App

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.184*

The app is amazing, easy to navigate and so extremely helpful! Each week there are new recipes to choose. You can determine how many serving you want and it fixes the amounts on the recipe for you. AND it formulates a grocery list for the recipes. Amazing!!!

### 5/5 — Not a diet!

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.184*

This app and its developers have made the biggest difference in my life.  They seem to have figured out how to be happy and healthy and put it in an app.  I have struggled with meal planning and “what’s for dinner” for many years and this group has solved all that.  They are supportive and accessible and a side effect of it all is I am losing unwanted pounds!

### 5/5 — Beginner

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.184*

I have only been using this app for a few weeks, but I already feel so much better! I am learning new cooking techniques that are certain to improve my health and eating the most delicious meals. I will know at my next doctor’s appointment if my blood sugar and cholesterol levels are down, which I fully expect will be the case.

### 5/5 — Real Food!!!

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.184*

I love the Homemade Method Meal planner. I have been using it for six weeks now. 

The recipes are absolutely incredible and the flavor profiles are nothing I would ever come up with on my own. 

I usually cook about three times a week and have meals for every day. They even create a menu plan and grocery list for me. And if there’s ever something, I don’t think my husband will eat, I just swap it out with another recipe.

### 5/5 — Homemade Method App

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.184*

I have been with Homemade Method since 2019, before the app was created, and loved HMM. When this app was created, it was a game changer. Not only do you get hundreds of delicious recipes, but all the features are great. I love that every recipe has an explanation of all the nutrition facts and how all the ingredients work for your body. Then you have the shopping list that is created for you after you have selected the recipes you choose to make. Another feature I like is how you can tag your favorite recipes and there is a place to put notes. I can go on and on about how great the HMM App is, and I recommend it highly.

### 5/5 — Lose weight, Gain health

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.184*

This app. Is soooo helpful. The videos and the information about the health benefits of each ingredient are very informative. Use this to discover how to reclaim your health through food!

### 5/5 — I love HHM meals

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.186*

I’ve been using this for almost a year. I’ve never felt better and I credit eating healthier and HHM provides me with the tools to feed my body what it needs!

### 5/5 — Highly recommended!

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.184*

Healthy recipes galore! This app makes it easy to choose how many servings you want to make, plus creates a shopping list based on all of your choices.

### 5/5 — Healthy eating

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.184*

I haven’t been using the program long but my husband and I are enjoying the recipes.  I am learning to cook using fresh ingredients more and the benefits of them.  
It never used to bother me eating what I thought was healthy until I joined HMM. It is eye opening. The app is easy to use and continually improving

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Difficult to cancel

*2026-09-01, version 2.4.194*

Very difficult to cancel your subscription. The cancel subscription link on their cancellation page does not work when you try to enter your verification code so you have to email their help desk to try to get subscription cancelled. Just got charged again after contacting them to cancel 3 times!

### 1/5 — Recipes

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.184*

This is just a website encouraging you to cook at home. If you already do this, then it doesn’t have much to offer.

### 1/5 — Charged after canceling

*2026-05-20, version 2.4.170*

I canceled soon after signing up , deleted app but was still being charged.

### 1/5 — Not Good

*2025-11-12, version 2.4.120*

Tried to cancel just keep getting the run around and got charged. I just want out. This site did not work for me

### 1/5 — Close to scam.  Beware

*2025-11-06, version 2.4.119*

I have tried to cancel this charge for a month with no results.  There is a forever chase to go here…go there…go here to cancel.  It is frustrating.

### 1/5 — Cancelled and still being charged

*2025-06-17, version 2.4.74*

Do NOT recommend

### 1/5 — Starting an account

*2024-11-25, version 2.4.23*

I’m new and trying to open an account.  Entered my email address and made a password then started account and it said email was already used.  So then I pushed log in and it said wrong password!
I cannot get an account started!  Help!!

### 2/5 — Premium

*2026-08-21, version 2.4.194*

When I started this there was no premium what is it now please?

### 2/5 — Great app!

*2026-05-21, version 2.4.170*

I’m very new to this, but the app is very user friendly and intuitive. I love having all these healthy recipes at my fingertips, can create a week of meals and get a grocery list!

### 3/5 — Pay more for “Premium” levels

*2026-08-04, version 2.4.191*

What was the point of paying for the membership if you don’t disclose that there are additional levels?
And the intake forms? I have a FAMILY but I can’t choose that I have a husband and children, that I’m not just feeding me. How about letting us choose multiple options. 
And change the pet option of “I don’t like pets” to “I don’t have pets” I thought I might get put with an animal hater group instead 😬
I do like that you can up the portions on the recipes.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-08-08, version 2.4.101*

So glad I found the Homemade Method. The app makes this the best eating plan I’ve ever used. It keeps recipes organized, it’s easy to search, and I love that I can make shopping lists so easily with it. It’s made cooking real, Whole Foods so doable.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2026-07-25, version 2.4.191*

I’ve been using app for a year and loving it. I love how it tells you what foods go together to make a balance meal. I’ve lost weight inches and feeling better. I’ve also learned to love cooking. Thanks for creating this app 🙂

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2026-07-15, version 2.4.186*

Only hearts full of love for others would do such a thing. thank you so much

### 5/5 — Even senior ladies can learn new ways to eat and enjoy living healthier!

*2026-07-15, version 2.4.184*

Sometimes life’s paths can throw health curve balls. This is the most empowering group. And it’s fun!

### 5/5 — Awesome program!

*2026-07-13, version 2.4.186*

I’m an old Hispanic woman with so much history & I can attest that I’ve been through it all! HMM truly works! Even through times of hardship (some inevitable, too). ☮️

### 5/5 — Difference Maker!!

*2026-07-13, version 2.4.186*

The HMM app and the accompanying recipes and support have been a life changer for me. I’m am still navigating my journey to a more healthy me, but HMM is really helping me to get my food choices in check.
I highly recommend!

### 5/5 — One month in…

*2026-07-13, version 2.4.186*

Great so far! Lots of recipes to choose from. Great encouragement from the team and a large network of involved members. 

Menu planners has been the bane of my health journey. The Homemade Method really does it all for you except the shopping! 

We are encouraged to go slow and substitute what we have- the goal is to make healthy choices within your means- financial and the time you can invest into your health journey. 

Weekly recipe packs, shopping lists and a growing, engaged community- what’s to lose… oh yeah inches and pounds if good choices are made! I’m only one month in but I’m down 6 lbs and am eating more nutritious meals. Here’s to making new goals every month and moving forward.

### 5/5 — Best meal planner I’ve ever used

*2026-07-13, version 2.4.186*

This app is very user-friendly and helped me tremendously. when I first started with the program they didn’t have the app yet. But I’m just loving it. I don’t use it to lose weight just to eat healthy and be organized and it’s very much a great tool for that. Great job! love all the cooking tutorials. I also love the Facebook page.

### 5/5 — Homemade method

*2026-07-13, version 2.4.184*

What a brilliant app - it is so full of great recipes and the easiest way to help us get healthy without ever feeling hungry and to top it off you lose weight without dieting.

### 5/5 — Great Resource for Recipes

*2026-07-13, version 2.4.184*

The Homemade Method App is a user friendly resource for healthy recipes. The recipes incorporate a lot of vegetables and protein. You can easily download and print the recipes for future use.
