Improve your ability to bake!

I have been baking for quite some time now and I rarely find a baker whose recipes consistently give me amazing results. This is the case for Love, Manuela because whether the recipe is on the easier side or more difficult she gives so many details that you don’t have to worry about not understanding a step of the recipe because it’s so explicit. She has so many sources that not only allow you to follow her recipes exactly, but also you gain new skills and techniques that make you a better baker. This is truly an amazing app and I recommend it to anyone who loves baking and wants to broaden their recipe book and improve on the skills they have!

Please fix, thank you

Sweet crave

The app is amazing full of unlimited recipes and Manuela is an amazing person always replying to the queries promptly.

Misleading Fee

I was billed 41 CAD for the app and no receipt! This is very misleading.

Love💕

I have followed Manuela on Instagram for a while. I have always loved watching her make her recipes, they look delicious and beautiful. So I decided to finally purchase the app, which was the best decision!! It is well worth purchasing this app. It is so well laid out, it is aesthetically pleasing, and it is so easy to use. I messaged her for a question I had, she was quick to respond, which was great. I cannot wait to try every one of her recipes. I have already recommended this app to several people that I know personally.

Another payment????

I purchased the app as a one time payment and I now have been charged a second time for it. The app itself is pretty good. Please issue a refund.

The app doesn’t open please refund

Excellent Recipes, Clunky Layout

I’m in the US and the recipes in this app have opened me up to a whole new world of interesting techniques, especially lighter cakes and frostings/fillings that don’t rely on butter or oil. It’s been well worth the money for me.

That said, the organization could be improved. The notes and troubleshooting tips are helpful, but often wordy, repetitive and not consistently placed recipe to recipe. Ingredient amounts are also unnecessarily repeated in the instructions. For me this makes recipes feel more complex than they are and makes them harder to follow.

I often end up recreating my favorite recipes in my Paprika app just to simplify.

Great content but it would really benefit from a more standard recipe structure and some editing.

Response from developer

Thank you for such thoughtful and constructive feedback. We’re delighted that the recipes have introduced you to new techniques and lighter styles of cakes, frostings, and fillings, and that you feel the app has been worth the purchase. We also appreciate your detailed comments about the structure, repeated ingredient amounts, placement of notes, and overall recipe flow. The extra detail is intended to guide bakers carefully, but we understand that it can sometimes make a recipe feel more complicated than necessary. Your suggestion for a more consistent and streamlined format is valuable and will be taken into consideration for future improvements. Thank you again for recognising the quality of the content and for explaining clearly how the app could be made easier to use. Love, Manuela Support Team

Genius recipes

I have become a confident sponge cake baker now, because of Manuela’s recipe, technique and excellent advice and tips. Her instructions are so well considered and communicated. I can’t wait to try everything in the app.
Congratulations Manuela, you’re making the world a better, happier place, one cake at a time 💕

The Best App

I am so pleased that I bought this app. One time payment and you get it all. Thank you!

My go-to for recipes!

I got this app because I only wanted one recipe. But I’ve used a handful now and keep finding new ones that I love. She really knows what she’s doing and she’s taking all the guest work out for you!

The best baking app - must have!!!

I was hesitant to purchase the app wondering if it was worth the price. I was following Manuela through YouTube and Instagram for quite a while and was always mesmerized by her videos. I decided to treat myself one day and OH BOY it’s worth double the price! So many amazing recipes (I hadn’t tried them all, but the ones I’ve made turned out perfectly) and exact instructions with pictures. No guesswork…amazing results! Don’t sleep on this app if you like to bake and are tired of failed recipes.

Isn’t working

First photos don’t load, now the app itself , it isn’t working today

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. There are no known technical issues with the app at the moment. When photos or the app itself do not load, it is usually related to device memory, background apps running, VPN usage, or network restrictions. Please try: • Closing all other apps completely • Restarting your device • Turning off any VPN • Checking your internet connection If the issue continues, please contact us directly at support@lovemanuela.com with your device model and software version so we can help you further. Kind regards, Love, Manuela Team

Not great for UK buyers

The ingredients in some of the recipes are not easily available in the UK. Should give alternatives. However the layout is very easy to follow.
Now this app I’m not able to use a none of these recipe have ingredients that I can follow as at least 1 or 2 ingredients I cannot source would not recommend to international buyers I want a refund as I cannot use this app at all

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing difficulty sourcing certain ingredients. However, we have many thousands of happy users in the UK, and the vast majority are able to find the ingredients without issue. Our recipes are designed using high-quality, widely available baking ingredients. Availability can vary depending on local shops, but many UK bakers successfully use supermarket or specialty baking alternatives. We are unable to choose ingredients available all over the world, as we have users from more than 145 countries. Maybe you can understand this. As stated in the App Store, the app is a one-time purchase and non-refundable, as it is delivered digitally through Apple. If you would like help finding suitable alternatives for specific ingredients, please feel free to contact us directly — we’re always happy to guide where possible. Kind regards, Love, Manuela Team

Wonderful Delicious Recipes

After having seen Manuela’s cakes on social media and YouTube I knew I needed these recipes. My family does not care for heavy cakes, with the exception of carrot cake. Manuela’s recipes are beautifully light and incorporate the best ingredients including fresh fruits and high quality creams, etc.
The app has detailed instructions including tips. The baking temp did vary slightly for me vs the recipes however that can happen with any recipe depending on your stove or region (altitude, coast vs inland).

My family loves the tender Vanilla Cake with Strawberry whip and also the Lemon Blueberry Cake is divine! It literally melts in your mouth.
If you make it be sure to buy the frozen wild blueberries. The taste is wonderful and so different than a standard blueberry.

Amazing!

Visually beautiful and wonderful and different recipes. Perfect for any skill level as there is a ton of explanation and step by step instructions. Truly beautiful work!

Not worth this high price

I am an accomplished and avid baker/cake decorator. I am always looking for new recipes to try. After trying some of Manuela‘s cake recipes I found them to be lower in both taste and texture than some tried and true recipes that are free on the Internet. Ingredients being used in the cake recipes are expensive and some are hard to find. On the whole I found this app a complete waste of money because you can find much better recipes free on the Internet with the same tutorials and less costly ingredients. Don’t waste money here.
