### 2/5 — Least favorite recipe app

*2026-07-21*

It seemed great at first, but after I added three recipes, it told me to pay to add more recipes. So I wouldn’t recommend it if you are looking for a free app to store recipes

### 5/5 — Pour tout rassembler génial

*2026-05-29*

Fortement conseillé j adore

### 5/5 — Très bien mais

*2026-05-19*

L’application est très bien. Il est simplement dommage que l’on ne puisse pas accéder aux recettes sur plusieurs comptes.

### 5/5 — Super App

*2026-03-12*

Die App ist super gut, man kann für einen einmaligen Preis von 5,99€ unendlich viele Rezepte speichern. Nicht wie bei den anderen Apps mit monatlichen Kosten. Genau das was ich gesucht habe. Verdient ein Lob! Auch die Mengen lassen sich beim kochen anpassen, es gibt eine Einkaufsliste, einfache Handhabung! Super und danke!

### 4/5 — Gut mit einem Mangel

*2026-03-02*

Das Rezeptbuch ist übersichtlich und kann flexibel gestaltet werden. Leider werden die Rezeptnamen nicht vollständig angezeigt. Das ist bei einer grossen Sammlung extrem nervig.

### 1/5 — Обман

*2026-02-21*

Не бесплатно

### 1/5 — Недовольна

*2026-01-21*

Занесла три рецепта . Все на этом . Остальное платное . Ужас

### 5/5 — facile

*2026-01-11, version 1.6*

plus beaoin de gros livres! juste une photo et hop! tout est facile d'acces!

### 4/5 — not bad

*2025-12-11*

Hi there,  

First of all, I really appreciate the quality of your app—it’s well-designed and generally works great. However, I’ve encountered an issue with the PDF export feature that’s quite puzzling.  

In one of my recipes, there are 83 lines of instructions, but when I export it to PDF, only the first 32 lines appear—the rest are completely missing. Could you please look into why the instructions get cut off during export? It would be a huge help to have the full recipe included in the PDF.  

Thanks for your hard work, and I hope this feedback helps improve an already solid app!  

Best regards,  
Mikhail

### 4/5 — Fajn aplikace s pár nedostatky

*2025-12-11, version 1.6*

Ráda používám , ale největší problém je, že se v seznamu receptů nezobrazují názvy, takže pokud není přiřazena fotka nebo máte více podobných receptů, které by rozlišil název, tak máte smůlu a musíte každý recept rozklepnout, abyste zjistili, co to je…
