These recipes are easy to plan for and cook! Great App, Yay!! ### 5/5 — Pretty rad! *2021-12-11, version 3.1.1* This is sikk! ### 5/5 — Good for variety *2021-12-10, version 3.1.1* Great way to discover new recipes and get ideas for meals without buying a cookbook ### 5/5 — Great recipe app! *2021-12-09, version 3.1.1* Love discovering new recipes and that it supports all of my dietary needs. ### 5/5 — Game changer *2021-12-08, version 3.1.1* This app is a blast - it makes finding the best recipes fun and simple. It exposes you to so many recipes and you can easily swipe to save them. The best part is being able to edit recipes and upload your own. I’m a vegan and I was able to type in all my preferences. Can’t wait to add all my favorite recipes. Worth the download, and easy to navigate. ### 5/5 — This app is incredible! *2021-12-08, version 3.1.1* I’m going to use the tinder for food function all of the time, great download! ### 5/5 — This is exactly what I needed *2021-12-08, version 3.1.1* I used to be a hopeless 27 year old man child who couldn’t tell you how to boil pasta. Then, Manna Cooking App came out. I’m still exactly the same, but now I won’t have to tell you — it’s in the app. Jokes aside, this is exactly as advertised, a quick and easy way to get the recipe you want without improving your speed reading skills. Save your faves in the cookbook, check out new tasty food, at least now I know I really am the only thing standing in my own way. ### 5/5 — Love! *2021-12-07, version 3.1.1* Amazing way to share and modify recipes. Incredibly intuitive and easy to use! ### 5/5 — Where has this app been all my life? *2021-12-07, version 3.1.1* No more copying and pasting my recipes in iPhone notes, Manna is here to save me time and going through ad-ridden websites just to find a recipe. Manna solves this problem and I have no idea why there hasn’t been an app like this before. Kudos! ### 5/5 — Manna, A gift from heaven *2021-12-07, version 3.1.1* Better than any food magazine, I can save my recipes virtually ut also take a pick at other people food creations. My daughter has to have this app for her upcoming college years. What a gift 🎁 ### 5/5 — Best recipe app! *2021-11-01, version 1.26* So easy to follow and I love swiping for new recipes, makes it fun and exciting! Also no boring life stories, just delicious food ### 5/5 — Cooking exploration *2021-10-31, version 1.26* This app helped me try all kinds of new recipes I never would have otherwise cooked, or even known about. I use it almost daily and highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Social Media for Food! *2021-04-02, version 1.24* I’m happy to have discovered this app! It’s becoming like a social media platform for foodies like me. Excited to see how this connects people through meals! ### 5/5 — Where have you been! Smartest app ever. *2021-02-08, version 1.24* I love how smart, modular, unique and fun this app is to use. I’m always learning to be a better cook and this app helps so much. I’ve never been able to customize recipes before, and now I can. Plus Swipe Mode and the Scanner and genius!!! ### 5/5 — The food insta we all need *2021-02-05, version 1.24* Finally a place where I can post all my cooking pics without shame! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Impossible to sync with fig *2022-03-15, version 3.2.1* I can’t connect with fig to update my profile to only show vegan recipes ### 2/5 — Dietary restrictions dont do anything *2022-02-09, version 3.1.8* Unfortunately setting my dietary restrictions does not change what recipes show up. I’ve set it to vegetarian and lots of meat dishes continue to pop up. I like the idea of this app but this kind of ruins it. ### 3/5 — Eh *2022-06-12, version 3.2.6* It’s okay, but I wish I could search recipes by ingredients that I have, and I don’t understand why my shakshuka recipe has ZERO likes and a FREAKING YOGURT PARFAIT HAS 114 LIKES!!! What the heck! Still fun to find interesting recipes though, apart from the way too simple, extremely boring usual recipes like pancakes, roasted sweet potatoes, or yogurt parfait. Yes, a yogurt parfait. No, you do not make the yogurt from scratch. Unbelievable ! ### 3/5 — Good start *2022-03-13, version 3.2.0* I can’t figure out how to connect fig to my manna account. It’s an interesting idea though. Also, my main concern is calories and I don’t see any options to select for that. Fig didn’t leave much space for that either, I could only select to leave out high calorie ingredients, like oil. But there’s a lot of different oils and you have to choose each one. I tend to select a whole food plant based diet, as that eliminates oil usually, and that allows for a high volume low calorie approach. Changes in that direction would be awesome! ### 4/5 — Such a breath of fresh air *2021-12-10, version 3.1.1* I’m not usually the kind of person that really follows recipes I mostly look online for inspiration but it’s such a pain sifting through all the ephemera characteristic of online recipes. Manna is so streamlined and engaging it makes it so much easier to find inspiration for recipes which you can then tweak to suit your own tastes. 10/10 would recommend. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2022-05-09, version 3.2.6* If you want to start cooking and don’t know what to cook. This is the perfect place for inspiration. Came here from senpai Kai. Legend! ### 5/5 — Senpai Kai brought me here *2022-05-03, version 3.2.6* A recent short on YouTube from Senpai Kai called Basil Chicken Parmesan has brought me here because this app sounded very cool and I wanted to try it and I wasn’t disappointed at all if anyone sees this believe me you will not regret it ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2022-02-07, version 3.1.7* I’m new to cooking, but this app makes everything so simple and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this great app to anyone. ### 5/5 — Incredibly well thought out *2022-02-01, version 3.1.7* This is one of the best looking apps I’ve seen. It’s super easy to use, looks fantastic, and has a ton of recipes. Hats off to you! ### 5/5 — Man…I just love Manna! *2022-01-28, version 3.1.7* I can now remember dishes I liked and not just “like” a picture on Instagram 😂. Being able to track all my recipes and compile that into my very own cookbook is genius! A food app that was made for me ❤️ 🥩 ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Makes cooking enjoyable again! *2022-01-20, version 3.1.6* I love that I can discover new and exciting recipes in seconds! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app for beginner chefs! *2022-01-19, version 3.1.6* Easy to find delicious recipes as well as some unique new flavors and ingredients to incorporate into my cooking! Love Chefanie’s recipes! ### 5/5 — JUST WHAT I NEEDED *2022-01-18, version 3.1.5* Manna makes it so much easier to discover and search for recipes instead of just saving them to my notes app or taking screenshots of recipes online!! I love seeing people responding to recipes I made and trying it out for themselves. No one else combines cooking and social media- I LOVE IT ### 5/5 — Good *2022-01-10, version 3.1.5* I had fun using it. ### 5/5 — Swipe right! *2021-12-20, version 3.1.2* Super user friendly and visual way to discover tasty recipes you’d never come across! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
