Exactly what I wanted!

This app does everything I want. The shopping list is simple and I love the option of creating new items so you can customise it to your preferences. The panty is great and the expiration dates is something I didn’t think I’d find so helpful. I personally don’t use the meal planner and recipe tab but they are great to look over every now and again.

Would highly recommended this app to anyone who just wants to keep track of their groceries simply and effectively!

The app I’ve been looking for

I was looking for a good food inventory app because I wanted to keep track of what I had and then find recipes that would use those ingredients. I thought I’d probably need several different apps to do everything I wanted, but KitchenPal does it all in one — inventory, recipes and shopping lists.

I also love how pretty it is. The photos and graphics make it really pleasant to use, rather than feeling like I’m just maintaining boring lists of food. It’s pretty much the kitchen app I’d been imagining but didn’t think I’d find.

Brilliant, timely app

This brilliant app is built into my kitchen life. It significantly reduces the amount of duplicate and probably waste-bound food and also means you can be confident about your stock of stand-by essentials and their variants, like all the different kinds of flours and sugars. Also all your cleaning things and foil and stuff.

So if you’re out shopping for a recipe, you don’t have to buy the entire recipe ingredients just because you can’t remember what you have.

And with all the current chat online about building up stores in case of some impending disaster, it feels so timely. It saves money and space and reduces waste. I love it.

Can’t upload recipes

Can only add recipes if you pay for it 🤨

You need internet to use it

I couldn’t get it to load at a store that didn’t have internet

Great app

I paid so I could create my own categories. The app is great I love the notifications before my food expires.

It would be better if I could assign multiple categories to products. For example, frozen meatballs could be frozen food and protein. Spring rolls could be vegetarian and appetizer.

Also, I wish there was an option to go directly to the item after scanning the barcode to assign categories. As it is, I scan and add the expiration and then I have to go through every item in my kitchen so I can find the one I need to edit.

I like that it helps you with recipes and what to buy can easily be added to your grocery list.

Lots of bugs. Not practical. Unfit for ios. NO REFUND.

Unable to select new storage categories. Unable to upload inventory in any format or method. App getting crashed repeatedly. Delayed customer support. Not all bar codes are scanning. Unable to delete default storage categories. Even after several refund request developer has not released the refund.

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.
