### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-05-02, version 3.5.0*

Update 5/2/2026- 
This app is still wonderful! I love having the recipes I have tried without the stories and scrolling! I’m coming back with an update say the developer of this app is great! They gifted loyal members from the beginning with premium membership. When a glitch happened with this, I sent a message and they resolved it quickly! They are awesome and so is the app!

This app makes things so much simpler when you just want to cook a meal. I love not having all the adds and recipe stories/history and just being able to see the ingredients and the steps. Highly Recommend!

### 1/5 — Such money grabbers

*2026-05-01, version 3.5.0*

This app used to be so good when all you had to do was copy your recipe to the app and it would save it for you now you guys just want more money what a horrible company you guys turned into. I’m deleting the app.

### 5/5 — Only Recipes

*2026-04-03, version 3.3.3*

At first, I absolutely loved this app. Now though, they want me to pay and I just won’t do it. Sorry.

### 1/5 — Can’t even upgrade

*2026-03-18*

Wanted so badly for this to work because I just have too many links and messages to myself about recipes. well, I downloaded this app ready to pay $25 to upgrade to a premium for a year, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to do that. Definitely something wrong with it… if they can’t even get the upgrade step seamless, then how’s the rest of the app work

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in the app. I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with the upgrade process, and I have alerted our team to look into this issue immediately. We appreciate your feedback as we work to improve the experience.

### 4/5 — Never make a review on a bad day

*2026-02-28*

I had added to my original review at the end of a very bad day. Don’t do that. This is my favorite app and to open it up and find out it was just the last straw of that day.  
I love the app. Several members of my family use it as well and we can easily exchange recipes that we find. Yes there’s been some issues, but it seems to always get resolved quickly.  



I added this app when it first showed up and when it  was “improved” I was told that because I was one of the original us that I was automatically switched over to “premium” as a reward for my loyalty. Well I guess  that was a lie as now I will have to pay now. 



I really liked this app because all the pop ups on online recipes drives me crazy. But now there is a new version & of course they couldn’t leave good enough alone. 
The measurements are on the right and in tiny type that makes it harder to read,not to mention they’re off. One recipe has a .67 of a cup??? Where it should have been 2/3 of a cup
I keep switching it to a “light theme” and it goes right back to dark. The opening page if mostly blank with a few gray lines. 
It also wont let me change my emails address 
I am disappointed in

**Developer response:** I appreciate you being an original Only Recipes user, and I want to address this directly: your premium access was not a lie. It was a genuine thank-you for your early support, and nothing about that intention has changed.

What has changed is that a bug in a recent update appears to have affected your account — and I completely understand how that would feel like a broken promise from your perspective. I'm sorry for that experience.

However, I want to gently point out that a quick message via the "Report a problem" button in the app would have had this resolved for you almost immediately. As a solo developer, I take these issues seriously and respond to every message personally. Jumping straight to a review unfortunately doesn't give me a way to actually fix the problem for you, since I have no way of identifying your account to make the change.

### 5/5 — Issue was fixed

*2026-02-26*

**Edit- updated review** The issue I had was fixed, I will admit I got a-little hot tempered when I thought I lost years of recipe collecting. I was wrong and this app deserves 5 stars. I will be going back to using multiple times a day and would be happy to pay for a subscription with the new features that were added. 
This was such a great and useful app but looks like they had a developer change and added a pay to use option. I get that as an app grows this could happen. Unfortunately years of organizing recipes into categories has been completely erased with no place that shows all recipes. Categories are still there but with no recipes. There is an option to add a recipe then it pulls all of the saved recipes from somewhere to add back onto that category. But as I am selecting the recipes to go back into the categories, the app keeps crashing. Thanks for ruining a great app

### 1/5 — Pay to use now, f that

*2026-02-25, version 3.0.0*

Way to ruin a great app!  Looks like new developers looking to nickel and dime.  Will be looking elsewhere now!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-02-24*

I’ve been using this app for years, and it is so helpful. It makes categorizing and saving all of my recipes super easy, and I really like the setting that keeps the screen from locking while I have the app open.

### 1/5 — Was a great app

*2026-02-22*

This was such a great and useful app but looks like they had a developer change and added a pay to use option. I get that as an app grows this could happen. Unfortunately years of organizing recipes into categories has been completely erased with no place that shows all recipes. Categories are still there but with no recipes. There is an option to add a recipe then it pulls all of the saved recipes from somewhere to add back onto that category. But as I am selecting the recipes to go back into the categories, the app keeps crashing. Thanks for ruining a great app.

### 1/5 — Premium?

*2026-02-22, version 3.0.0*

Had this app for years and now you want me to get a premium version to continue using it?!?! Bffr
