Fantastic app and customer service
Such a helpful app. You can add in recipe links and it tells you what you’re missing. Also, I had an issue with my login and found the email customer service to be swift and really helpful!
A waste of time
I wanted to like this and app and even paid for the premium version but it’s horrible. I spent hours scanning items only to find that it associates things like ketchup as a cheese ingredient, Thai peanut sauce with peanut butter, and it won’t show you recipes that include water unless you add water. It gives you the option to change the associated ingredient but it won’t doesn’t save it. I shouldn’t even have to tell it that ketchup isn’t cheese. Recipes are a joke. It will tell you that you have all the ingredients only to find you have only one. Yes one! It seems that this app isn’t even close to being complete and uses the users time and energy to create their own database.

Hi! Thank you for using KitchenPal, and we’re sorry to hear that your experience with the app wasn’t as expected. We want to assure you that our team is continuously working to improve the system, especially in ensuring the accuracy of product details and associated ingredients. The issues you mentioned -being unable to edit associated ingredients and only seeing one available ingredient from recommended recipes, while the app indicates that all ingredients are available are definitely unusual and not the intended behavior. Could you please email us at support@kitchenpalapp.com so we can check these with you? Thank you!
Awesome App
I recently started using this app that tracks everything in my refrigerator, freezer, and pantry, and I have to say, it has been a game changer for my grocery shopping experience.
**Ease of Use**: The barcode scanning feature is incredibly intuitive. Adding new items to my inventory is quick and effortless—just a quick scan and it’s done. This saves me a lot of time compared to manually entering everything.
**Smart Shopping List**: One of my favorite features is how it automatically adds items to a shopping list when I use the last of something. No more running out of essentials or scrambling to remember what I need. This app takes the stress out of grocery shopping by ensuring I always know what I have at home.
**Convenience**: I’ve found that I no longer struggle to remember what I need while I’m at the store. Since I always have my phone with me, I can check the app at any time, which means no more forgotten.
In conclusion, this app has significantly improved my grocery shopping experience, making it much more efficient and stress-free. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to streamline their kitchen management! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great app idea, but needs improvements.
I purchased the very top plan so I can share it with my family in the house. I love the concept of the app, but it would be great for the user be able to add new categories so I can put things where I feel they should be categorized. Examples would be snacks, breakfast cereal, candy, cake mixes, pasta. I have over 10 types of pasta. The same goes with rice. There are way too many dry pantry items to put everything into one category. It makes it hard to find the item in the household list. For people that are bakers, there are many ingredients to put everything under pantry item. Another example is canned good items. There are way too many canned good items to put everything into one category.. Can the app be altered so users can create their own categories? It would make it way more user-friendly. Thanks for your consideration.

Hi Brett! Thank you for using KitchenPal and for sharing your feedback with us. Regarding your request to have an option to add/edit the product categories under the Single-Screen view, where items are arranged by their product categories (aside from adding custom storage spaces), we'll be happy to add this to our list of improvements. We hope you will be patient with us till then. In the meantime, if you have other feedback or suggestions, please write to us at support@kitchenpalapp.com. Thank you!
Can’t add foods?
I can’t add any foods. I can swipe right or left on things I have but it’s the same like 10 things like pasta, pepper, sugar, wine, etc. I can add a “room” but can’t add any of my own food to it.
Good idea but buggy
Good idea in theory but too hard to add items unless you are solely scanning barcodes. Way to hard so are leaving the app.
No Free Trial
There is a reason there is no free trial for this app. It’s great that it’s a one time charge, however that charge doesn’t bring any benefit, only disappointment.
The recipe feature is abysmal. When adding a recipe directly from a website, it adds ingredients that don’t exist nor make sense (example: bell peppers as an ingredient for mashed potatoes) but there is no option to edit. The substitutes also make no sense, like suggesting lasagna noodles instead of orzo. It definitely seems you’re using some cheap AI technology to write these out but you give no editing ability to the human who is trying to write out a recipe. Even when manually typing each ingredient, your app still manipulated it wrong.
The feedback button doesn’t seem to work as it errors each time you hit submit and the rate this app button disappears when clicked on (clever).
Don’t get tricked into paying, there is a reason there is no trial for this app.

Not helpful
Will only let me swipe to add foods. Can’t type or scan to add foods
Not very helpful
It’s not very intuitive nor helpful. For instance, when you first open it, it gives you the option to scan in items or add manually. If you choose the latter, it gives a list to swipe yes or no to. If you stop and go back, it starts at the beginning again. The option to scan in items never shows up again. As well, there appears to be no way to add items manually other than their list. Because it’s very expensive, I wanted to try it first. I think it’s guaranteed I won’t purchase nor can I recommend it. This is disappointing since it came very highly recommended.

Stops letting you add things
Premium is required for even basic features. Don’t bother.
Great, but one drawback
Great app; can add as many fridges/freezers as you want. Would give it a solid five, but unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a way to see TOTAL inventory of ALL food items in one area; you have to click on each individual freezer and fridge. Otherwise it is wonderful, probably the best food inventory app out there as far as I know.

No more wasted food
Great app! Helps me keep track of what’s in my kitchen and gives recipe ideas so nothing goes to waste. Super easy to use
Couldn’t use
I was really excited to download this app, but I tried to sign in with every version of sign in possible, and it kept telling me that it could sign me in. I tried multiple things, including deleting it and coming back, turning off my Wi-Fi tried to use satellite. Turn my Wi-Fi back on again. Nothing works.

Good app!
I’ve been using this app for a couple months and it’s very useful. I like having an inventory of what’s in my kitchen so I can “check my cupboards” when I’m at the grocery store! The shopping list is also really useful because when you mark that you’ve used an item it can be automatically added to your list. I also like that you can include expiration dates for items, you can add items quickly with the barcode scanner, and you can mark if you have an item but you’re running out soon. A couple things that could be improved- if you have multiple shopping lists (like for different stores) the auto add feature seems to just pick one at random and it’s difficult to move items between lists. I also wish you could edit the shopping list while doing the “shopping” feature like when you decide to get only 2 bananas instead of the 3 on your list. Sometimes the app is buggy but their customer support is great! I’ve gotten quick and efficient responses when I had issues with it crashing and it’s been working really well since then. Would definitely recommend!

Ok app, abysmal pricing
Don’t get me wrong, this app is not BAD. Buggy in stupid ways? Yeah. Objectively bad design choices (ex having to wait for the “item added” pop-up to disappear because it’s obscuring the “add new item” button)? Yes. UI cluttered? Sure. But it does what it says and it looks like the preview. It’s like the devs only just recently started playing dev simulator and haven’t prestiged yet, so they’re pushing a fix-as-we-go product to you to turn a profit in order to someday MAYBE make the product actually worth what you’re paying. Just run that in your head, swish it around, whatever you need to do, and don’t pay big huge Real Money Bucks to be a beta tester
Edit: Honorable mention, but this is just my objective opinion, the Android Orange color scheme is not fun for my eyes and there’s no way to change it that I can find

Total game changer!
I love how easy KitchenPal makes it to keep track of everything in my kitchen. The barcode scanning feature is a lifesaver—just scan and go, and it builds a full inventory of what you have on hand. No more standing in the grocery store wondering, “Do I already have this?” or wasting time every week taking stock.
It helps me meal plan based on what’s already in my kitchen, sends helpful expiration alerts, and completely removes the mental load of keeping up with the grocery list. Total win!
I also had to reach out to support to get my husband’s account linked to mine so we could both manage the kitchen together, and they were incredibly kind and helpful. They got back to us quickly and had everything set up in no time.
KitchenPal feels like having a smart, stress-free kitchen assistant in my pocket. Can’t recommend it enough!

Good but needs work
Great app, works well and great for keeping on top of what’s in my cupboard and what to cook with it. I have noticed one problem though when adding recipes. Of a recipe calls for say 2 onions, finely chopped, you can’t just add two onions because you need to add the unit of measurement so need to know it in Lags or whatever. I just wanna add 2 onions without knowing the weight

What a great idea!
This app has been so useful for me when it comes to meal planning and grocery shopping. It’s easy to get used to and, aside from the initial scanning of whatever is in your kitchen, subsequent grocery trips are quick to add into the database. I love the expiry function as it helps me keep on top of things that expire quickly like produce but also cans and sauces that get forgotten about. I also had a wonderful experience with the support staff, who helped me easily migrate my entire account over to a new one with no data loss. The pricing is also very reasonable for those who prefer the premium rates. And the fact that they offer a one time lifetime purchase in today’s age of subscription only is a breath of fresh air! Big thanks to the KitchenPal team for all your work on this app.

Time to delete
This app was handy - when it functioned. I was logged out of my account roughly a year ago, and haven’t been able to log back in since. Opening the app brings up an error message and the option to report the error. It’s never been fixed, and I’m done wasting time hoping this app would get repaired.
In Love For Real
I love this. Please create a Home Screen widget to tell me what’s expiring and recipe ideas :) ilysmmm
