The reason I got this app was to help me to organize recipes I found while scrolling. But the ingredients are all wrong, cooking times incorrect, and generally just wrong when you try to import a video. Even when the video has the instructions/ingredients typed out on the screen. This app is somewhat helpful but definitely not worth the cost if you try to do more than the free version. ### 2/5 — Stürzt ab *2026-06-20* App stürzt ab sobald man man sich die Abo Möglichkeiten ansehen möchte. Importe an sich sind gut! ### 3/5 — Works great until it doesn’t *2026-04-25, version 1.7.9* My partner constantly has to delete the app on her android and reinstall because it occasionally has issues. Today it seems like it might be down entirely? I can’t send recipes and my partner can’t log in through Google. Service status on my phone says it’s fine. I’m paying for the annual subscription. ### 3/5 — Was great. Now, I can’t get into the app *2026-04-25, version 1.7.9* The app used to be fantastic. It would save recipes and work like a charm. When the beta AI bought wasn’t working, I made the mistake of uninstalling the application, now I can’t login, it’s treating me like a new user, and the app won’t even start. It gets to the point where it asks my age. I can’t click any of the options and it just hoses up right there. ### 1/5 — Not Good. *2026-04-25, version 1.7.9* At first glance, it seemed like a great way to archive recipes from social media. But after a few months of using it, the app has become increasingly slow, the original videos are cut off and stop abruptly, and more recently adding new recipes has stopped working while the site appears to be experiencing an outage. In other words, nothing works anymore. ### 1/5 — Worse than dial up *2026-04-25, version 1.7.9* Honestly it doesn’t want to connect at all, the pages hang for ages, the whole system is buggy. Great idea! Bad execution! ### 2/5 — Stops importing *2026-04-24, version 1.7.9* Full subscription paid. Worked a month or so then errors continuously ### 1/5 — Charged me for free trial *2026-04-09, version 1.7.7* A free trial was advertised but it immediately charged me for a full year. Ridiculous and I was unable to get a refund. Do not download this app unless you’d like to be charged $60+ dollars fraudulently ### 2/5 — Ai edit is a doughnut *2026-03-24, version 1.7.5* I showed a pic of my signature dish, gave it very clear technique and instructions on how to make it. And it still did not return the correct recipe. ### 1/5 — Videos not opening, subscription charges very high *2026-02-23* I downloaded the app and was very impressed by the way it arranged all the recipes by rewriting the text and creating videos. The free trials offers to load up to 10 recipes. Initially everything was working well but after I uploaded 10 recipes, the videos stopped playing. None of the recipe videos are playing. The subscription is too expensive. I wanted to check the free trial for few days more before giving a thought for subscription but videos stopped playing so it’s better to uninstall the app. ### 1/5 — Makes up its own recipe *2026-02-16* tried importing a recipe from youtube shorts but it made up a whole new recipe with ingredients not even mentioned in vid. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Seemed cool *2026-08-16, version 1.8.4* Have to pay a subscription, what happened to when you can get an app and not pay a subscription, maybe a one time fee watch a few ads but we should not allow this society to charge us on every single thing. ### 1/5 — Using the free trial period *2026-06-28, version 1.8.4* Unable to use the fun feature the ai voice that we see over so social media and when I decide to input put groceries. That part was great, but when you go to delete or less than an item, it kept adding to the total of the item you’re trying to delete so that part kind of just failed function. The social media parts looks good, but overall, if you can’t serve the purpose that I’m using it for or be able to try out those features before you we buy or subscribe to the product. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-06-27, version 1.8.4* I’m so upset I paid so much for this app and it stopped working in 30 days ### 1/5 — Constant Incorrect Imports *2026-06-23* I would suggest NOT to buy this app since it still needs a lot of work. I’ve used it for a few days and tried to import recipes from Instagram links - it does import but the details are almost always incorrect vis-a-vis Ingredient list and cooking instructions. I have to manually feed in the details in the notes. Defeats the purpose. The thought is great but it clearly still needs work! PS- Unfortunately I bought the subscription but saving others from doing the same. ### 1/5 — Lost all recipes *2026-06-21, version 1.8.3* Paid for the subscription, collected dozens of recipes and the app lost them all irretrievably. ### 1/5 — Frozen after day 2. *2026-05-28, version 1.8.0* Worked great for a day. Then froze. Reinstalled did everything and just keeps saying “importing” and dead. No answer from support. A pity. ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2026-05-15, version 1.7.9* $60 per year just to do something I can do using an AI app! If this was a $3 app it would be ok, but asking for subscription is an overkill. ### 1/5 — I loved this app! *2026-04-27, version 1.7.9* Suddenly it no longer works and is being blocked from doing what I paid for and I’ve only had the app a few weeks. ### 1/5 — Won’t even let me create an account *2026-04-26, version 1.7.9* Won’t even let me create an account, so useless ### 1/5 — Fix Your App!!! *2026-04-25, version 1.7.9* It hasn’t been working for over a week! Fix it! It will not paste or import ANY videos. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Drumsticks *2026-07-28, version 1.8.4* Delicious and tender ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-07-15, version 1.8.4* Can’t reach the developer “broken link” is there a way to download all recipes in bulk at once ### 5/5 — Amby *2026-07-14, version 1.8.4* The best thing that ever happened to my cooking. ### 5/5 — This is a great app!!! *2026-06-26, version 1.8.4* I hate having to write down manually recipes I find online, even worse if all you see is the video . This app copies the complete recipe. I particularly like that it also translates recipes in other languages into English. ### 5/5 — Really works *2026-06-24* This is a great app and works wonders. Must try. Easy way to save any recipe from insta. ### 5/5 — Bonne app *2026-06-20, version 1.8.3* Bonne app, je stock mes recettes comme je veux ### 5/5 — Donna *2026-04-22* Honestly I just installed it to get roasted by Donna, and oh boy she does not disappoint !! Thank you ! ### 5/5 — Voice *2026-03-29, version 1.7.6* When I set up the voice that I want to hear I do hear it but then when I ask it a question where it says to ask AI a question I don’t hear anything and am I not supposed to even hear the voice when I ask for a recipe?, And yes, my volume on my phone is up. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-01-27, version 1.7.1* I absolutely love this app. It makes saving and organizing recipes so easy. I am on it every day. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-01, version 1.6.5* Loving this up so far. Even if the video is in a different language. IT pickle UP every I Freddie t. Makes a list and also saved the video! Love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
