### 2/5 — Missing instructions

*2023-10-31, version 2.1.0*

Not all recipes have complete instructions. Current meal I’m making has about 6 ingredients not mentioned in the directions and because it’s an unfamiliar dish, it leaves me guessing or going elsewhere to find the answer. Weird!

### 3/5 — Good but not good enough

*2023-06-27, version 2.1.0*

This app has great recipes that make good food but they haven’t added any recipes or updated any unclear instructions for as long as I’ve had the app (4 years) it’s still the same recipes as when I got the app.

### 2/5 — Fish cakes

*2023-06-06, version 2.1.0*

Tried one recipe so far. Found the proportions to be so far off I wondered if the one who wrote it actually made the dish. I think whoever writes these needs to triple check them before posting. Highly inaccurate.

### 4/5 — Macro

*2022-04-23, version 2.1.0*

Would be great if I could track my macros with this app

### 2/5 — No Nutritional Values

*2022-01-06, version 2.0.1*

None of these recipes have the nutritional values. What’s the point?

### 4/5 — Version française?

*2022-01-02*

Super application, mais a quand une version française 🙏?

### 2/5 — Really?

*2021-06-24, version 2.0.1*

You want to charge a subscription? Have you ever heard of google?

### 2/5 — Searching under “Paleo Food Finder” way too conflicting!

*2021-02-24, version 2.0.1*

App says “Hummus” is ✅ - wrong! 🙅🏼‍♂️
Yet “Cashews” don’t even come up. Period.

I get you don’t have to have every food but geez, have the pretty common ones, and how about not intentionally misinforming your customers?!  I’m not frazzled or “triggered”, just shocked like someone told me 2+2 really = 7.  Like what??

### 2/5 — Most of the recipes are locked

*2020-10-16, version 2.0.1*

As I scroll through recipes, I am disappointed to find that all of the recipes that aren’t common among Paleo apps are locked.

### 2/5 — Worthless unless you pay for pro

*2020-09-09, version 2.0.1*

Why bother to offer a “free” app when 90% of it requires a payment for the pro version. Feels like click bait. Deleted.

### 2/5 — Tolle Rezepte, aber...

*2020-07-12*

man muss für die meisten bezahlen!

### 2/5 — I’m torn! Wish I could give it 5 stars

*2019-11-13, version 2.0.1*

The only reason I can’t give this 5-stars is the instructions. You have to be an experienced cook as there are A LOT of crucial missing steps. I’ve done 5 recipes & almost all had me really frustrated so I had to either just guess or google other directions. However, I LOVE the shopping list feature & many of the creative recipes. It’s not as low carb as I had hoped but still pretty good.

### 4/5 — Good

*2019-11-06, version 2.0.1*

Good app with great easy paleo recipes. However I wish when you hit add to shopping list for multiple items it added all of them together. If I have two recipes that each need 1/4 tsp of Chili powder, it shows up twice as 1/4 tsp or Chili powder instead of just saying in total I’ll need 1/2 tsp of powder. A simple upgrade like this would make the shopping part so much easier to look at

### 3/5 — Doesn't contain all the foods

*2019-06-24, version 2.0.1*

If a food doesn't exist we should able to add it and request it

### 1/5 — Incorrect foods for paleo

*2023-08-05, version 2.1.0*

Do not buy this app if looking for a paleo food list. There are multiple errors on this list which I found out from having adverse reactions to certain foods. I couldn’t figure out why until I double-checked certain foods on other lists.

### 1/5 — App

*2023-04-20, version 2.1.0*

I downloaded app seen what the recipes where like. It states purchase for “more” recipes., which I did. It still only gives the same recipes, not more after purchase.
Disappointing……

### 1/5 — No star deserved

*2021-05-24, version 2.0.1*

Waste of time, this app is worthless

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2021-02-13*

Sorry but recipes contain too many non-paleo ingredients, and can be found elsewhere online. I only looked at the free ones, maybe more ideas can be found in the upgraded version.

### 1/5 — No thanks

*2020-04-04, version 2.0.1*

Total waste of money. Very limited amount of recipes. Not sure how they have 4.7 star rating. You can get more for free from Yummy app.

### 1/5 — Absolute money grab

*2020-01-24, version 2.0.1*

I had to keep buying to use the app. I shouldn’t have to do that to see the basic app. And what I did see I would need far many ingredients on hand to not have to eat the same plates everyday.

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2019-12-18, version 2.0.1*

The photos look disgusting. It’s not free. Very few recipes without having to pay. Just google, less frustrating, more appetizing AND free.

### 1/5 — Where is gluten free???

*2019-08-04, version 2.0.1*

The app description says that it has gluten free recipes. I am unable to find that filter. Is it only available to paying customers?!

### 1/5 — Some of the Recipes aren’t even Paleo

*2019-07-10, version 2.0.1*

I’ve done a paleo diet before, and was looking for new recipes while I switch from keto back over to paleo. This app had high reviews, which I am shocked by, considering not all the recipes it features are even paleo.  If you even look up the ingredients in the app’s  “is it paleo” function, they even tell you they aren’t compliant with paleo.

### 1/5 — Would really help if the calories and nutrition info was present.

*2019-03-06, version 2.0.1*

Needs nutrition info.  Needs amounts of each and every ingredient.

Without that this app should be a non starter.

Don’t download

### 5/5 — New

*2023-06-22, version 2.1.0*

I’m just getting started with Paleo. I think this is gonna be very helpful.

### 5/5 — This app saved me!!!

*2022-09-30, version 2.1.0*

I’ve tried the Paleo diet many times, unsuccessfully over the past several years. Paleo Plate was exactly what I needed to motivate me and get me excited about this way of eating! Beautifully organized categories, vibrant photos, food shopping lists, and simple ingredients did it for me! This is the only app I’ve ever thought enough about to review. Well done, Paleo Plate!

### 5/5 — Really like the design and recipes

*2021-11-06, version 2.0.1*

It’s good. I’m not a big app person. Simple recipes, easy to use.

### 5/5 — Boom! Awesome 🙌🏻

*2021-10-19, version 2.0.1*

The best ever!

### 5/5 — Easy!

*2020-12-26, version 2.0.1*

Easy recipes and fast

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-05-02, version 2.0.1*

Awesome app

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-01-01, version 2.0.1*

Great recipes!

### 5/5 — Path to Clean!

*2019-02-21, version 2.0.1*

Love the app and the shopping list that it generates. Makes cooking really easy! Great nitch!

### 5/5 — Control the heat

*2018-10-17, version 2.0.0*

Easy to control the level of spicy ness, just add less or more red crushed pepper. Very flavorful! Using canned tomatoes would have been easier and cheaper.

### 5/5 — Delicious

*2018-10-08, version 2.0.0*

Absolutely love this app, I was struggling to find side dishes and and dessert
