### 4/5 — Delicious Mid Week Treat!

*2026-08-19, version 26.7.1*

Delicious but check the cornflour ratio, I had to add a lot more.

### 4/5 — Upgrade in Cookidoo

*2026-08-18, version 26.7.1*

Cookidoo should have full recipie in the app. I do not like the fact that full recipie you can see only in thermomix, when I find a recipie I wanna make I would like to know what I will have to use to make it ( which tm equipment eg. if it will need varoma etc, it could be small pics emojis) and also I would like to know what are the steps to decide for myself the difficulty levels.

### 3/5 — Liberdade

*2026-08-16*

Quero ter a liberdade de fazer as minhas receitas já realizadas sem a assinatura anual. Um absurdo essa obrigação.

### 2/5 — What happened to the great app?

*2026-08-16, version 26.7.1*

I used to love the app. Its personalisation was great. It would only show me vegetarian and vegan dishes. But since a few months, it has been showing me meat dishes all the time despite having all the filters and preferences to vegetarian or vegan.

### 4/5 — Essential for Thermomix Cooking

*2026-08-15*

This is a must for cooking with Thermomix; it makes all the difference to the ease of use. 
What I would say is that the search function could be improved. Sometimes recipes go into hiding; they just don’t come up in a search and I have to ask on a Thermomix Facebook group I’m in for someone to send me the lonk to it. Also, I would love to be able to search by ingredients, so if I have a spare courgette I can see a list of all the things I can do with it.
Overall though I’m happy to keep the subscription going and I hope that one day the app  will become more developed.

### 2/5 — Much better free apps available but is needed for Thermomix

*2026-08-14, version 26.7.1*

There are much better recipe apps but this really is needed to use for Thermomix. Lots of features are missing/lacking eg. needs a much more user friendly way to import/add your own recipes, need to be able to see user feedback on recipes made and really needs the option to add household members to the account. Very disappointing for an expensive paid subscription.

### 5/5 — Cooking

*2026-08-09, version 26.7.1*

Lost my mojo and passion with cooking a while ago. After quite a while we were constantly going out dining Chinese for particularly dishes it was so expensive. I wanted to create my own also knowing what I was putting in. I came across the dishes. The rest is history. Our Thermo (Nev) saved us money and time. Brilliant

### 3/5 — Good app.

*2026-08-06, version 26.7.1*

Shame there's no auto translate and that the bespoke recipe entry isn't quicker and easier. App would also benefit from easier filters!

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2026-08-03, version 26.7.1*

A total game changer. Love it!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-02, version 26.7.1*

I do love it but would like the ‘My Week’ to be more functional

### 2/5 — Shows ads

*2026-08-02, version 26.7.1*

Don’t show me ads I can’t remove inside your app I’m paying for. That’s just rude.

Check out their version history notes, it’s like they’re trying to disrespect their users:

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-07-31, version 26.7.1*

We simply LOVE our thermy… it inspires us to try new things and makes everything seem so easy!

### 2/5 — Problème visibilité recette dans application

*2026-07-28*

Depuis la dernière mise a jour je n’arrive pas a voir les recettes déjà enregistré dans l’application, pourtant ça fonctionne au niveau de l’ordinateur et sur le thermomix, merci de régler ce problème

### 5/5 — Too easy!

*2026-07-25, version 26.7.1*

So many great recipes that are really easy to follow. Love that I can plan a week of meals and send the ingredient list to my shopping app. Makes things so quick and reduces stress.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-24*

Even though I miss a real book. All the information can be review in advance to make sure you are not messing something (accessories) and added to a grocery list.

### 3/5 — Ms

*2026-07-24, version 26.7.1*

Love this app just wished it was a one time payment not an ongoing payment because of the cost of living crisis

### 5/5 — Mothers help

*2026-07-23, version 26.7.1*

I love cooking the impossible

### 3/5 — No text reviews

*2026-07-22, version 26.7.1*

The app is very good but could be much better if we could write / read reviews. A 2 star rating means something not right - but what?

### 1/5 — Overly complicated…….

*2026-08-07, version 26.7.1*

I fired up my TM6 after a LONG break. Of course the password was forgotten by this machine and yours truly. 
I changed it via Cookidoo which took me to a Vorwerk site, or was it Thermomix? I dunno. 
*
Seems there’s 3 places (Vorwerk, Thermomix and Cookidoo) I’m supposed to use. 
I’m 73 and used to the simple things in life. Let’s make this the way it should be. 
KISS - 
Keep It Simple Stupid.
I’m sore, tired and so over things which should easily work but don’t.

### 1/5 — Translation to your app?

*2026-08-02, version 26.7.1*

For god sakes add a translator to your freakin app. So many recipes in different language.  A bit pathetic in your end

### 1/5 — Not worth the money right now

*2026-07-14, version 26.7.1*

I’m fairly new to the thermomix club and so I’ve spent a fair bit of time trying to get the most out of this app during the free trial. 
The only benefit I can see is that it feeds the recipes into your thermomix & allows a step by step on the thermo screen. 

The app itself is awful. For a food app looking to charge $90 per month, the search is awful & redirects you to collections (more lists of recipes) rather than acting like a database.

You can’t even apply basic filters - not even for major groups like ‘vegetarian’ let alone what I was expecting such as being able to select basic dietary requirements in a profile & then perhaps search by additional ingredients. 

Save your money, pay for ChatGPT or just use google AI for free.

### 1/5 — Application is not accessible

*2026-07-13*

This app is currently not accessible for blind users. I am wondering if it is possible for your development team to optimize the application and make it work with voiceover. Your hardware seems amazing and I would love to be able to buy your Equipments and controller through the application if the application can be made screen reader, friendly.

### 1/5 — What the ?

*2026-07-11, version 26.7.0*

What did you do with the latest update? I can’t access Cookidoo at all!

### 1/5 — Do not update to 26.7.0 it is broken

*2026-07-11, version 26.7.0*

If you update to this version the app won’t work and the only fix will be to delete and reinstall. Slack QA Vorwerks

### 1/5 — Qualité en baisse…

*2026-07-11*

Dernière mise à jour épouvantable… je ne vois plus aucune recette… je devais me réabonner….  C’est terminé… J'en reviens pas au prix fort payé pour l’abonnement et livré une application qui bug à ce point…

### 1/5 — Wifi

*2026-07-07, version 26.5.0*

Every few times I send a recipe from the app on my phone to the Thermomix - the Thermomix says WiFi is not connected and I have to enter the process manually from my phone into the Thermomix.

### 1/5 — Stop charging subscription!

*2026-06-16, version 26.5.0*

This is very cheap of you to sell a device for €1.5k and then ask for a €60 annual subscription! Really disappointing! I use the same recipes; there aren’t that many new precipices, so €60 is completely unjustified!

### 1/5 — Excellent recipe content, frustrating discovery experience.

*2026-06-14, version 26.5.0*

I’ve been using Cookidoo for years, but the recommendation system feels surprisingly poor. As a vegetarian who has never cooked a TM meat or fish recipe, I still regularly receive meat and fish recommendations “for me”, which makes the personalisation feel ineffective.

There is also a lot of duplication. Instead of helping users discover the thousands of recipes available, the app often surfaces multiple versions of very similar dishes while much of the library remains hidden.

Another missed opportunity is ratings and reviews. Cookidoo rarely seems to encourage feedback after cooking, so ratings are often sparse and don’t help much when choosing between recipes.

The recipes themselves are generally excellent, and that’s what makes this so frustrating. Compared with apps like New York Times Cooking, the recommendation and discovery experience feels years behind where it could be.

### 5/5 — Exceeded beyond my expectations.

*2026-08-23*

Juggling full time work and raising a family isn’t easy. On top of that, planning, prepping and preparing food that is healthy and easy, is near impossible week in week out, getting rather repetitive and boring. Until now. The extensive and ever growing recipe collection, with all the preparation and cooking handled in ONE devise, it could not get any simpler and enjoyable to cook again. Even my 15 year old joins in! Only question I have is; why has someone not told me about Thermomix and Cookidoo app before?! Love it!!

### 5/5 — @anaelisabald

*2026-08-20*

Me encanta, me facilita la vida y ahorra en mi bolsillo.

### 5/5 — Makes cooking so simple!

*2026-08-19, version 26.7.1*

Honestly planning a weeks worth of meals, making a shopping list and not having to think about it during the week is the best!! And guided cooking means I can plan meals that my kids can help with too! Love it all!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing Cookidoo

*2026-08-19, version 26.7.1*

I am so so happy with Cookidoo for my new TM7 . My shopping list was an absolute breeze this week 💗

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-17, version 26.7.1*

Makes cooking so easy

### 5/5 — Great app but,

*2026-08-16, version 26.7.1*

Would love to see a comments section in the recipe ratings, this would be great for those lower rated ones as the community can discuss tweaks or suggestions to perhaps improve the reason to why it was rated low.

### 5/5 — So quick and easy

*2026-08-13, version 26.7.1*

Now that I have some favourite recipes saved I can easily make dinner without stressing.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2026-08-12, version 26.7.1*

Amazing, inspiring and no frustration.
And the little tunes make me feel good.

### 5/5 — 💚 L’appareil qui a changé ma vie!

*2026-08-11*

La cuisine est désormais un jeu d’enfant!
Simple et rassembleur, j’ai déjà hâte au prochain repas!

### 5/5 — Efficiency at its best

*2026-08-10, version 26.7.1*

With the ability to plan out my week using ingredients I love, and make a shopping list on the go to then convert straight to a click and collect order … meal planning just got a whole lot more efficient in my household.
