### 1/5 — Too hard

*2026-08-01, version 5.6.7*

Too hard to input recipes

### 3/5 — nothing crazy…

*2026-07-19, version 5.6.7*

got this app because i have terrible memory when it comes to remembering what i have in pantry/fridge. main reason was because i could input everything (quantity, expiration date, etc.) of whatever i had but as i began to input different ingredients it became a hassle wether it was deleting something (app would glitch) or looking up something that’s not in the database. its meh, im assuming it’ll get better with time and popularity but as for right now i’d save the headache for another day.

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2026-07-05, version 5.6.7*

Photo Analysis does not work. No web interface for computer. No bulk upload. I do really like the recipe integration. I like sorting by expiration date.

### 3/5 — Great for inventory management

*2026-06-26*

This app is excellent for managing my kitchen inventory, which was out of control before I downloaded this app. Now I can easily see what I need and don’t. I love the concept of the recipe match up, but it honestly needs further development before I can really rely on it. It often takes me to meal suggestions that don’t make sense once I review the ingredients, as it relies heavily on how the inventory is categorized and there are a lot of errors here still, for example categorizing “Beef Tallow”, a fat, as ground beef, or Diaya Mac and Cheese as cheese. It also substitutes ingredients that don’t need substituted because I have the actual ingredient, which seems odd to me. These are minor and I’m sure will be addressed with time, but if I could rely on the recipes more, I would use this app a lot more and give it all 5 stars. To me that’s the most unique thing this app has going for it and the thing with the best potential to pull everything together into an app I can’t live without. Mostly right now I export my inventory to a pdf, feed it to Gemini and ask it what I should make and it gives me 3 good recipes I can immediately work with, along with a shopping list for what I don’t have, and or feasible substitutions for what I have that might work.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for using KitchenPal and for sharing your feedback with us. Regarding your concern about recipe recommendations, our app uses the 'associated ingredient' to categorize a product and to find recipes that can be used with it. Please email us at support@kitchenpalapp.com so we can assist you with finding recipes with what you have. Also, you mentioned that you have the actual product, but it is still being substituted -this is unusual. Our team will look into this issue. In the meantime, you can also disable the substitutions from the profile page. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Awkward and limited

*2026-06-13*

I am really disappointed in this app, which I find awkward and difficult to use for anything other than foods with barcodes.  I did buy the premium.  All I need is something to keep track of my freezer inventory and I buy fresh, whole foods rather than boxed and packaged.  I apparently cannot, for example, add X number of cups of cooked brown rice, or 3 servings of a homemade casserole that I’ve packaged up for future meals.  In fact I cannot add cups of anything, only weight measurements. I can’t add 4 chicken breasts, I can only add how many ounces, which is so unhelpful.  

If there is a way to add such out of-their-box items it requires so much effort honestly it’s faster to just use notebook paper stuck to the fridge with a magnet. I don’t need shopping lists and recipes, I just need something to help track inventory.  This app is a pain.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for using KitchenPal, and we're sorry you did not have a great experience while using the app. Regarding your concern that you are unable to use cups or servings in the list of measurements, we have added this to our list of improvements. In the meantime, could you please write to us at support@kitchenpalapp.com? So we can advise you once these options are available. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Perfect for meal planning and

*2026-06-01, version 5.6.6*

Great app for being able to organise the second freezer and pantry staples. Heaps of items already saved but I appreciate being able to customise due to my Type A/everything needing to match personality. 

Whenever I’ve had questions about my account or inventory, the team are always super helpful and prompt with their responses (over email or chat).

### 3/5 — Want to edit categories

*2026-04-26, version 5.6.6*

VERY disappointed I can’t make my own categories!!!!!! Rest of app is really useful.

### 1/5 — Items not listed

*2026-04-24, version 5.6.6*

At this point I am creating more items than are just barcode scanning correctly. I’m in Australia. Don’t bother.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-04-20, version 5.6.6*

This app is super helpful. I hate throwing away food and buying what I already have. This app helps so much.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-04-20, version 5.6.6*

This is a standout app that truly simplifies meal management and food storage. After trying many other similar apps, this one finally gets it right by seamlessly combining pantry tracking, grocery lists, and recipe discovery into one app.
The app's ability to suggest meals based on what you already have in your kitchen is a game-changer for reducing food waste. It’s a powerful, user-friendly tool that helps you stay organized and makes daily cooking much more efficient. Highly recommended.
