### 1/5 — Robbery in daylight

*2024-01-07*

There’s only like 15 or so recipes for instant pot and most of them needs you to pay. These are not even good recipes…rubbish app

### 1/5 — Not worth the money!

*2023-12-11*

App is worthless. You can not find a recipe by searching for ingredients. Very basic you just have to scroll and scroll- good luck
Wish I hadn’t paid a penny for it

### 1/5 — Horrendous

*2023-03-08*

This app is horrendous, the app holds the ingredients but to get the prep and times needed, the app sends you to the original recipe creators website which are often filled with adds. Give this app a miss.

### 1/5 — WHAT?

*2023-01-29*

Where’s the air fryer recipes. Would not have purchased if it meant I had to go scroll
through every recipe. Very disappointing!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2023-01-16*

App fails to show you method on majority of recipes 
Waste of money

### 1/5 — Unusable app

*2022-12-30, version 1.1*

First couple screens had promise..then video ads and locked menus made this unusable.   Save your money

### 1/5 — Instant pot air fryer recipes

*2022-11-19*

Do not buy…I paid £3.49 in good faith to access instant pot and air fryer recipes with no ads. You can access the recipes…instant pot only …no air fryer recipes, but only ingredients…as soon as you go to prep you get adverts and nothing else….taking money under false pretences…I want a refund ….disgusting.

### 1/5 — Not worth even 1 star

*2022-11-19*

Just a rip off . 
Just takes you to the internet onto other peoples sites ripping them off !
Should be removed from app store !
Disgusting behaviour !!
Thieves !

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-08-12*

What a terrible app experience. Even when you do buy the app (which only aggregates recipes, mind you) you are still faced with ugly UX and fed ads in videos. It's an yet waste of money. AVOID.

**Developer response:** Hello - firstly, thank you for trying our product. We’re a small team and are happy to delight users with our app. That said, we understand the app is not the perfect solution for every user who downloads, and we want to make sure we can hear your feedback in more detail to improve your experience and issue you a refund.

### 1/5 — Air fryer recipes

*2022-07-22, version 1.1*

I need air fryer recipes. Please advise me how to find them on this app.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your $3.99

*2022-07-10*

There’s no way to search for anything - not even by ingredient.   You are better off searching the internet for recipes that are free.

**Developer response:** Hi, 
 
We apologize for any inconvenience. 
 

Could you please elaborate on what problem you are facing or please share a recorded video of the issue so that we can better assist you? 

 

Please reach out via email to support@joinappex.com.

Thanks

### 1/5 — This app stinks!

*2022-03-16*

Tried to view a recipe and it won’t let you without watching an ad.  Paid 3.99 for an ad free app and got this piece of c —p instead.
Don’t waste your money, or time.  Gave it one star only b cuz you had to give it a rating …

### 1/5 — Don’t pay

*2022-01-25*

Just paid 3.49 it’s got advertisements but the worst thing is i can’t read the preparation and it freezes so I have to completely close the app. Rubbish

### 1/5 — Insta pot and air fryer recipes

*2021-12-11, version 1.1*

Zero air fryer recipes.  Just got ripped off buying this app.
Fraudulent advertising

### 1/5 — Still getting advertisements

*2021-10-17*

I paid £3:49 for this app which I think is ok 
However I’m still getting advertisements which is not ok!!!!!
Tried to contact to ask for a refund but couldn’t get anywhere. 
So 1 star !

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2021-02-03, version 1.0*

There is no way to search and the appetizer app freezes up

### 1/5 — No search function

*2021-01-17*

I would think a search option would be basic for any recipe app. This is a waste of money!!!

### 1/5 — Just don’t

*2021-01-15, version 1.0*

### 1/5 — Paid $3.99 for Nothing

*2026-07-08*

I purchased the pro version for $3.99, the only option to view recipes. There were no recipes so I restarted my phone, went back to the app, it again prompted me to pay the $3.99 one time fee for access. I tapped the restore button and the alert said word for word “Nothing to Restore. Your Purchase May Expired.” 
Scam? Not maintained for sure.

### 1/5 — Scam.

*2026-05-10, version 1.1*

Paid $5 and no recipes. Don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-11-29, version 1.1*

Blank screen after payment. Ripped off

### 1/5 — beware scam

*2025-11-27*

i purchased paid version and the app turned out to be empty with no recipes !!!

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2025-11-18*

Every page is blank. Refund requested though Apple

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-11-01, version 1.1*

I paid to unlock the content but the content is not there. The categories are empty. Not a single recipe!! What is this?

### 1/5 — Void of all information and functionality

*2025-10-19*

Paid for the service and it was completely empty of anything.  It doesn’t even show any ability to search.

### 1/5 — Nothing - but the payment did go through !!

## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated)

### 3/5 — Not really free

*2021-07-03*

Look like some nice recipes and good UI but the vast majority require purchase of the app

### 3/5 — Pas de barre de recherche

*2020-06-22, version 1.0*

Je suis déçue de ne pas avoir de de barre de recherche pour simplifier la recherche exemple par un ingrédient pour cuisiner à partir de cet élément ... il faut passer à travers toutes les recettes pour trouver ce qu’on cherche ... décevant et surtout décourageant qui me fait abandonner même s’il y a de très bonnes recettes

### 2/5 — App closes

*2022-07-31, version 1.1*

The app unexpectedly closes while using, poor quality in that regard.

### 2/5 — Basic, not worth the measly 3.99

*2020-12-27*

I didn’t have an issue paying $3.99 when I thought I’d get a variety of recipes I couldn’t find with a google search. But, all this app does is draw free recipes from the web. There’s no search function to, say, search for a recipe that includes a specific ingredient. And the categories are not accurate. There were many random “regular” recipes in both the pressure cooker and instapot categories.

Save your money and just use google .

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2020-06-24, version 1.0*

Signed up and paid to get the air fryer recipes, couldn’t find any.

### 2/5 — Where are the Insta Air Fryer Recipes??

*2020-06-16, version 1.0*

I don't want the pressure cooker recipes.  I paid the $3.99 thinking it would open recipes for the Air Fryer.....  NOT!!!   Very disappointed.

### 2/5 — Not enough recipes

*2020-05-21*

Can find these recipes online for free but this app wants to charge. It isn’t worth the money.

### 2/5 — air fryer recipes

*2020-04-18*

There are only 4 basic recipes for air fries that you can find anywhere on Internet. Don’t bother!

### 2/5 — Instapot/ air fryer recipes

*2020-04-11, version 1.0*

Would be great if there wasn’t a charge for the app. Already paid almost $200 for the duo with no recipes!
