The app just closes every time I try to read a recipe. I emailed support and got an automated email pointing me to their online help. I don’t want online help. I want an immediate refund of my annual subscription. Don’t waste your time with this app. It appears to be a scam. ### 1/5 — Freezes *2022-03-20* I can’t look at recipes ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-02-20* The app closes down as soon as you try to click on a meal, if I could give it zero stars I would. Would like a refund ### 1/5 — Crashing *2022-02-11* The app keeps crashing for me. I can't look at a single recipe. ### 1/5 — App Malfunction *2022-02-04, version 1.010* When I click to view the meal for my selected day, the app logs out. ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2022-02-02* This is my second time downloading the app within the same day and I am able to get through the set up but when trying to click on the meal options to get ingredients and directions the app crashes and closes out. If this continues I will definitely not be purchasing the full version. I wanted to try out the app before I purchase it and so far it looks like I will not be purchasing it. ### 1/5 — Looks great, but crashes *2022-02-02* Everything works until I select a recipe, any recipe, and the app closes instantly. I guess that makes it useless! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-01-22* Nothing showing up and no meals ### 1/5 — Scam *2021-12-27* I purchased it and no meals were displayed at all i tried everything i sent three emails no response at all. I disputed the charges and called it a day Stay away from this scammy app ### 1/5 — Well. Just a trick to get more money *2021-10-25* Do not wast your time on money on this app , this is smart way to take money , for body training they have one app and when your go to get meal plan they want you to download new app and they you have to pay for that app also after paying for training app , Just a way to earn nothing else ### 1/5 — Keto *2021-07-16, version 1.010* I chose Keto as my meal plan and it gave me recipes with tons of carbs. I’m attempting a low carb keto. Was not helpful. ### 1/5 — Thanks for the suggestions... *2021-06-08, version 1.010* I selected Vegan Recipes and no joke, got a bunch of chicken recipes. That’s not all that works, but thanks. ### 1/5 — How do you unsubscribe *2021-05-02* The app does not make it easy to unsubscribe. ### 1/5 — Приложение *2021-01-22* Возможно хорошее но там нет русского языка и других кроме английского Это останавливает и приложение удалю ### 1/5 — Eh *2020-12-14, version 1.010* Doesn’t bring up any recipes. Asks me to reconfigure my preferences but even if I don’t exclude foods, it still doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Not working on a IPhone X Max S! *2020-08-25* Didn’t work on my phone and the communication with the help line was insignificant! Requested a refund but no news after...😓😓😓 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor *2025-12-27* Missing ingredients such as flour in a banana cake recipe. Missing method- some recipes have only the ingredients. No option to convert from American cup measurements. No search function which would facilitate e.g. “salmon recipes” And since I’ve only just started looking at this app, I haven’t yet tried any of the recipes. Not very hopeful. I wonder if AI has been trusted to put this together? ### 1/5 — Examples not representative of app recipes *2025-09-10* I subscribed because of the excellent looking examples in my running app. Unfortunately, once I signed up, the app is not as functional as I was led to believe, for example if I wanted to make recipes less complicated, the app just suggests that I make the same recipe 3 times in the same week. There is not a trial period, so I’m stuck with paying for the app for a year. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2025-02-25* Signed up today and keep getting the we can’t find a meal for you message ### 1/5 — Couldn’t even create me a plan *2025-02-24* Worst health app I’ve ever tried to use. Put in my selections multiple ways and it couldn’t create me a plan. Waste of 30 minutes. ### 1/5 — Out of date and non-logical setup *2024-01-01* It takes you through a series of questions to learn about you, such as height, weight, gender, etc. My height and weight weren’t even on the list. 6’0 you would think 6 foot even would be a selectable height. Also iphone only, although it loads on iPad it is iphone size. Cannot manually add recipes or easily swap or assign items to days…only randomized rotating options. ### 1/5 — No meal plans for my diet *2022-10-31* I excluded a variety of items because I’m allergic to them, & the app was unable to prepare a meal plan for me. ### 1/5 — After subscription not working and support not replying emails *2022-04-24* After subscription not working and support not replying emails ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-04-21* Doesn’t matter which recipe you click on to view, the app closes down completely ### 1/5 — Recipe clicked: App crashes Constantly *2022-04-18* Every time I click on every recipe the app force crashes. I’ve spent half an hour trying to delete and reinstall (with the subscription bought) and the same thing happens. Don’t waste your time with this app get another one that works! ### 1/5 — Meals not opening *2022-04-17* I just paid for the app and it’s not opening the recipes when I click on it. Used to work when I had the free trial. Now when I hit the meal to get the recipe, the app closes every time. Even deleted the app and downloaded it back and it’s still doing it. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 3/5 — I need help *2025-04-18* The app looks amazing. The only problem is I can only choose the low calorie meal plan to have recipes pop up. Every other meal plan type just says no recipes are available with my excluded items(I took away all excluded items and it says the same thing). Could you please look into this? I’m sure it’s just a small bug. ### 3/5 — I *hate* cooking *2021-10-24* This app is not bad. It does a really nice job of allowing you to customize how much work you want to put into cook each week. It also has a fairly nice feature that allows you to cater to your dietary restrictions. Overall, I would say this app is worth the $2/mo. The only complaint I have is whomever is writing/editing the cooking instructions a REALLY needs to step their game up. The descriptions will include items that were not part of the ingredients list at the beginning (which is kind of a pain when you realize you are missing something key to the recipe). Also, the instructions would be much more robust. For example, there is a “roasted veggie pitas with avocado dip” recipe. The ingredient list of slightly on the longer side for this app, but the instructions say: “Veggies: preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Pay the cauliflower and chickpeas dry with a paper towel. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet or two baking sheets.” Seriously, what am I supposed to do with that? What makes the dip? Does anything season the chickpeas? Does anything need to be blended? This is unhelpful. But again. Overall, the app the ok for the price. ### 3/5 — Great Vegetarian Recipes but... *2019-11-12* The vegetarian recipes look great and not overly complicated or with tons of ingredients, HOWEVER, I *really* wanted a shopping list!! Most apps have the recipes and then a shopping list to make it simple, this one does not and for that reason, I am unlikely to use it. ☹️ ### 2/5 — Glitch? *2022-03-05* Won’t allow me to view the recipes. When I tap on it it just exits me out of the app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
