### 5/5 — Thank you!!

*2026-02-23*

As a college student this is so so helpful! Heard about it on girls gotta eat and am now telling all my friends about it!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! We love to hear this!

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-02-22*

I’ve made multiple meals for myself and multiple others by listing ingredients I have around the house, and also asking it to give me recipes for healthy, fast, easy meals for one! Every single meal has been a 10/10. Golden Crust Chicken Pot Pie has been my favorite thus far! Cannot recommend this app enough.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-02-13*

No one ever tells you that so much of married life is asking the other person, “What should we do for dinner tonight?” This question could easily be someone’s 13th reason why. BUT THIS APP pulls you from the trenches by making this question something you actually look forward to! My husband and I have really enjoyed the Meal Prep Mode, making weeknight meals a breeze with tasty leftovers and date night meals at home extra special by taking on a Creative level recipe; sharing the time preparing together and enjoying! Getting stuck in a meal rut is such a real thing, so we love the diversity it brings! Love this app!

**Developer response:** Thanks for saying this! Glad we're getting people out of the trenches!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-02-12, version 1.0.4*

This app is so useful and I’m finally wanting to cook again!

### 5/5 — What I’ve needed my whole adult life!

*2026-02-10*

This app is so awesome! Recipes are perfect and easy to prepare! Minimal clean up too! Gotta love that!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-02-09, version 1.0.4*

Very practical, helpful and a perfect pocket companion when in the kitchen.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-02-08*

I am a working mom of two and the last thing I want to think about at the end of the day is dinner. This made grocery shopping and meal prep so easy! Love the basic, classic, and creative recipe variations. Highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Honestly a game changer

*2026-02-04*

It feels like they have truly thought of EVERY detail with this app. It has made cooking dinner with my boyfriend SO much easier and more fun. It’s beautifully designed and such a good user experience. I’ve already recommended it to so many friends and will continue to do so!

### 5/5 — Just what I needed!

*2026-02-03*

Recipe websites drive me nuts sometimes and I’ve been looking for an app like this! Have been using it for everything, even simple sandwiches and snacks ha

### 5/5 — Best app for busy moms!

*2026-01-30*

This app is a lifesaver when it comes to cooking for my family. I often find myself wanting to make a meal but I’m missing a few ingredients and I hate running to the store with small children. Not only has this saved me money but saved me so much time. Such a wonderful app that helps me be the best mom I can be for my family! Highly recommend to anyone interested in cooking homemade meals with ease

**Developer response:** This means a lot, thank you. Saving time and avoiding extra store trips is a big part of why the app exists. Really appreciate you sharing your experience.

### 5/5 — Snow storm life saver!

*2026-01-26*

After running to the store at the last minute and grabbing what was left on the shelves, I was able to create awesome recipes with my random items with Kitchen Sink Recipe Builder. Easy to use and delicious meals!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing this. That is exactly the kind of moment we had in mind when building Kitchen Sink. Really glad it helped you turn what you had into something good.

### 5/5 — Get out of the rut.

*2026-01-24*

I often find myself cooking the same 5 things over and over again, I feel like I’m in a rut.  I cook what I know how to and sometimes I lack creativity and imagination in the kitchen.  This app solves all of these issues and helps prevent waste pantry/ fridge waste.  The app is easy to navigate and has a fun loading bar!   So excited to use this more and more!

**Developer response:** Love hearing this. Getting out of a cooking rut and cutting down on food waste is a win. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and glad you’re enjoying it.

### 5/5 — THANK YOU

*2026-01-22*

This is going to be a game changer. Because a girl has to eat and she’ll need more than a snack. I so appreciate you streamlining AI so that I can actually use it to my advantage to create some magic out of my fridge. Can’t wait to see how this takes off! Thank you

### 2/5 — Needs option for ongoing list

*2026-01-31*

I liked the idea of this app but I wish I could put all the things I have for ingredients in a list including spices and your kitchen staples and then add and remove from the list as I use things. It’s not really helping me use up things I already have.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback. An ongoing pantry or staples list would definitely make it easier to use what you already have! We’ve got something up our sleeve.

### 3/5 — Almost but not quite

*2026-02-25*

The concept and visual design are lovely. However there are specific user details that don’t make me want to reach for this over general AI. Once you create your recipe and save it you can’t go back to tweak ingredients so you have to type out your entire grocery list again. Maybe a saved grocery/ingredient list would be helpful. Things like that made me think “honestly Gemini already has all my stuff memorized and I can make edits directly if needed etc.”. Cool concept though, but just use whatever AI you’re already using and save any monthly fee from this app.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the feedback! We have an "Adjustments" section on the recipe page that is specifically for making changes. Once you save your changes, you can rename the recipe, and the ingredients and shopping list are both updated automatically to reflect the changes. You can then find the adjusted recipe in the Cookbook tab.

### 3/5 — Love but needs tweaks

*2026-02-16, version 1.0.4*

This app is great but it needs to have ability to change measuring units!! Measuring everything in grams is just very inconvenient!!!

### 3/5 — We shall see

*2026-01-29*

I wish there was a drop down menu to choose multiple standard ingredients most households have & having a space to add in non traditional items otherwise seems helpful!

### 4/5 — Considering premium

*2026-05-11*

This app is pretty cool but I don’t love using AI. Will probably use this every so often when we are sick of our go to meals and want some fun ideas. Easy to use. An added feature I’d appreciate is adding allergens to the preference list so I don’t have to type it everytime. I think it’s a benefit to have the option to add more on the main screen in case you are cooking for a friend.

### 4/5 — User friendly!

*2026-01-24*

It was so fun to create dish that was all from my fridge! With time / updates I would like to write my own notes so that I may track my modifications / opinions on this dish and use this as a little cookbook for myself. Thanks Sparkle Eyes!

**Developer response:** So glad you’re enjoying it. Saving notes and tracking your own tweaks is a great idea and really helpful feedback. Thanks for taking the time to share that.

### 5/5 — Best use of AI

*2026-05-17*

I love this app! Cooking is becoming a lost art and I cannot be bothered scouring the internet for recipes. This works way better than Google AI or ChatGPT in terms of giving you actual recipes that taste good.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-04-26*

No notes 👏

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2026-04-22*

I love the generation of creative recipes without me having to search and find something. The ingredient list and exporting shopping list is such a good inclusion. Prep steps are clear but simple. Really well thought out

### 5/5 — My family thanks you!

*2026-04-06*

My oldest child is 21 and I have been making dinner for 21 years. I was getting to the point that if I hear “What’s for dinner?” one more time I was going to lose it on someone haha. This app has seriously made life so easy. I just hit generate plan, and the three meals that come up is what I’m making for the week. Everything has been so good! It takes the work out of coming up with what to eat. I’ll never stop using it, and I tell everyone I can about this app!

### 5/5 — Great for my ADHD brain

*2026-03-25*

Loving it so far! Is there a way to assign already saved recipes to days of the week for meal planning/grocery list? I haven’t been able to figure that out but would be a game changer if possible

**Developer response:** Thank you for the rating! This was just released in today’s update!

### 5/5 — Thank you!!

*2026-03-20*

As a college student this is so so helpful! Heard about it on girls gotta eat and am now telling all my friends about it!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! We love to hear this!

### 5/5 — Meal Prepper

*2026-03-16, version 1.0.8*

Absolutely love this app. It’s made simple, easy to use and really helpful.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-03-12*

Made the best shrimp Alfredo last night 🤤 loved the recipe options too! Totally customizable!

**Developer response:** Amazing!!

### 5/5 — Simple & Easy

*2026-03-01*

This app is a true game changer. It has been incredibly helpful in creating well balanced meals that incorporate ingredients I already have at home. It works in Spanish which is so amazing because my family can use it and the simplicity of it is my favorite part. Love it.

**Developer response:** This is exactly what we had in mind when we made this! Glad you’re enjoying it!

### 5/5 — Update Suggestion

*2026-02-24*

Loving it! It’d be awesome. If in the future, we can save recipes from other websites besides Instagram and TikTok. My partner is always sending me things to cook from “ NewsBreak “ and I’d love to save them all in one spot. 
Love the generating recipes with what I have though!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much leaving a review! Website import and saving was introduced in 1.0.6 on 2/23! Just update your app from the AppStore. 👍🏼
