Too hard
Too hard to input recipes
nothing crazy…
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.

Pretty good
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.
Great for inventory management
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.

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!
Awkward and limited
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.

Perfect for meal planning and
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).

Want to edit categories
VERY disappointed I can’t make my own categories!!!!!! Rest of app is really useful.
Items not listed
At this point I am creating more items than are just barcode scanning correctly. I’m in Australia. Don’t bother.
Great App
This app is super helpful. I hate throwing away food and buying what I already have. This app helps so much.
Excellent app
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.

Disappointing
App stopped letting me add products once I reached 55 items. Basic should have 100 items included. Even shared with my partner (as suggested) and I still can’t add anything without having to pay for premium.
Makes life so much easier!
I absolutely love the ease and flexibility of this app! As a caregiver to 3 adults, I have to keep track of supplies for the entire household, kitchen, prescriptions and medical supplies. I was able to add lists for those extra categories which enables me to have everything in one place and makes ordering easier. I love the barcode scanner and how easy it is to add items.

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.

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.
