Ruined by AI
Formerly a useful app, but they added an AI tool and appear to have seeded their data with generated recipes. Just using the regular search gave me a recipe “from the instant pot team” that when followed exactly gave me chicken that was still raw in the middle. I’m not new to cooking with an instant pot, but I like to pull up recipes to make sure I’ve got the times and settings correct. Something felt off about what the app spat out, but I figured I’d try it. Nope, garbage recipe. This was a huge disappointment and I will be deleting the app. It’s not worth my time to play russian roulette over whether or not it’ll give me a recipe that cooks things all the way through.

Not what I was promised
I'm new to the instant pot world so I thought getting the pot that had an app with a bunch of connected recipes that were already programmed to work with my device would be a good start. 2000+ would mean plenty of variety and an excellent opportunity to explore and experiment. However, not only are there less than 100 recipes (a far cry from 2000+), but there are a decent number of duplicates and you have to pay attention to the times and other details because not only are many of them not by the instant pot team, but details like timing aren't even recorded correctly on everything. In one rice recipe for instance, the time listed at the onset is 16 minutes but one of the steps says to cook it for 30. Who knows what else is wrong. The ingredients are also limited. chances are that you type in an ingredient or a word in a common recipe into the recipe search as you are supposed to do and it will come up empty. I will be looking online and my local library for more recipes. The app is not worth the extra money

Fantastic stuff!
Absolutely brilliant app, has some fantastic recipes as well!
The happiest cooking app ever!
I browse and save recipe at ease and save time cooking with instant using mobile phone control
Creating Recipes Challenging
There needs to be a more user-friendly way to create recipes. For example, how to delete a created recipe? Ingredients section is shown but how to list them in that section?
Recipe creation broken
Why force us to use a recipe creator that doesn’t work properly? Entered all data for a step and can’t save it
Want print facility
I do not want to refer to my iPad or iPhone while cooking - if i find a recipe that i like i want a printed hard copy to refer to. Frustrating - it will lead me to delete the app in due course
Found bug that makes custom recipes difficult
Overall good, but for Pro Plus making a custom recipe beginning with pressure cooking step allows you to change high, medium, max but not change cooking time. Obviously a big, needs to be fixed urgently, I’ll change my star rating when it’s done
Created Recipes Not Saved
I had to delete and reinstall the app to change network and lost all my created recipes. They should have been saved to the cloud.
Limited functionality
Missing some functionalities that I consider “basics”. Like when cooking beans, there’s no option for soaked beans, only dry. Or when making yogurt, there’s no choice between the boiling or fermenting steps. There’s probably more, but these are all I’ve experienced in one week of use.
Of course you can google cooking charts or use the physical buttons, but since the whole point of the app is to manage it hands-off and make things simpler, it seems very counterintuitive to have such limited functions.
There also aren’t a ton of recipes in the app, but that doesn’t bother me much. Usually I find recipes online anyways.

Best recipe App
This is a great App for the instant pot. I constantly look up recipes to try out and so far they have been great
Bad acting
Okay, a Canadian company product but you’re locked into the imperial system. And can change serving size
Not acceptable, pass.
Not acceptable, pass.
Great app and recipes!
Wish I could sort my recipes within the app. Would be a great update
So useless
The most frustrating to search for any simple recipe. All I wanted was a recipe to make yogurt with the yogurt function. Gives me recipes that use yogurt as an ingredient. Completely useless as there is no way to sort or filter results. There’s no categories for dishes. Deleted.
Step-by-Step Instructions Are the Best
These recipes are well thought out and the step by step process makes all the difference. I also like that I can search a key ingredient and the app comes back with several recommendations. And the fact that I can save my favorite recipes in my own box is a very nice touch.
Useless app
This app is pretty useless. Recipes are bad, there is no way to find anything you want as the search option is not existent. Been using this for years bit recently i don’t even think about using it anymore
App Does Not Work
This app doesn’t work. It freezes after the sign in page. Terrible
Just brilliant but for 2 things
Review update. Keep warm function is now accessible using VoiceOver. I don't know about the delay start time as I haven't investigated that yet, and for some reason, I no longer receive notifications. This may have more to do with our Wi-Fi issues than the instant connect app itself, so I'll keep investigating this. Would be interested though to see if others have experienced this. One extra star added I've been a member of the instant pop family for some years now and one of the challenges I've had is that, being blind, I've had to memorise all the controls and their settings, or have something to write them down on so I know where I'm up to. I got an early Christmas present of the instant pot Wi-Fi pro for Christmas and my husband wanted me to make sure I could use it and that it was accessible. Wow! What a game changer this is. The app is accessible with VoiceOver with a few little workarounds, and most importantly I can see what's going on on the screen of my instant pot and I can set it by myself with very little help from anybody else, except for when something goes wrong and if I don't have the correct touchscreen markings marked up. Honestly, what a game changer this is. I've just discovered however the one tiny floor, there is no delay start function which means I have to remember to set a reminder so my pot starts doing its thing in time for when I finish work. If there is a venting timer, why not a delay start one as well? I would also really love it if they brought back scalings. This is something that I put in my previous review, but still haven't seen. Not everybody is feeding a family of four, or has a family of four that will eat lots of vegetables and good stuff. Other than that, keep up the good work. You've no idea what a life changer this is. Thank you again.

Fantastic!
Brilliantly simple app with some great recipes for inspiration. I love that you can edit the recipe to make it your own, and add notes! Perfect!
Don’t bother if u don’t hv Wi-Fi / air fryer instant pot
What a disappointment this was. Because I have just a regular all instant pot pro without all the bells and whistles and without Wi-Fi and without a built-in air fryer, there are only a handful of recipes for me. And they’re repeated over and over in different sections. I’m a chef and I wanted something quick and easy for home with my instant pot but this doesn’t fit the bill at all.
