### 1/5 — Too Expensive

*2026-08-09, version 2.38.1*

I already have ReciMe which is very similar and it costs $20 less per year. I didn’t know this was so expensive when I downloaded it. I didn’t  see any thing that would make this worth an extra $20 out of my pocket. You need to lower the price it up the extras. Because this just looks like a quick cash grab.

### 1/5 — App issues and can’t log back in

*2026-08-05*

I have been using this app for over a year without any issues. A few days ago, the app suddenly stopped working. Every time I tried to open it, it would immediately close. I waited 24 hours to see if the issue would resolve itself, but it never did.

I then deleted the app and reinstalled it. Since reinstalling, I have been unable to log back into my account. I have tried every available login method, but none of them work. Every attempt results in a “Something went wrong” error.

I have already submitted two support tickets but have not received any assistance.

**Developer response:** Please email us at help@peppertheapp.com so we can retreive your account!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-08-03, version 2.38.1*

I downloaded the app and can’t get past the Welcome screen

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-30, version 2.38.1*

Easy to use love this app

### 3/5 — Pop ups from app

*2026-07-12, version 2.36.1*

I get they are not commercials from other companies but popping stuff into my screen that I don’t want without a clear way to exit is terrible. Then, when I do finally get out it sends me back to the original screen instead of to where I was in the app. This is not good as I am trying to explore it to make a decision. Right now, after just a few minutes of trying to figure out navigation, it would be a no.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-09, version 2.36.1*

Love using this app when I’m trying to find new recipes or ideas for dinner.

### 1/5 — Server issue after download

*2026-07-05, version 2.36.0*

Just downloaded app and experienced server down.

### 1/5 — Bad Customer Service

*2026-06-03*

Downloaded this app with a free two week trial. Apparently I had done once before in the past. Instead of alerting me that I had already taken advantage of the trial period in the past, they just immediately charged me for a full year at the highest subscription rate of $49. Even though the subscription and my App Store invoice clearly states 2-weeks free. They didn’t even try to offer any kind of apology for the confusion. Pretty much saying it is what it is and we don’t date if you were mislead. No type of apology at all. Also, apparently when you try to share any recipe you have, there is an error. Can’t share at all.  Buyer beware.

**Developer response:** Hi Michael – We're sorry to hear about your experience! We spoke about this over email but unfortunately we are at the will of your platform provider who ties free trials to Apple IDs, thus preventing you from creating more accounts to earn more free trials. We would've been happy to extend your free trial if you had asked! As for importing, we are the only app that allows for unlimited FREE imports. While Facebook gave us issues over the last couple weeks, they have all been patched and nobody should experience more. Please feel free to email us at help@peppertheapp.com if you have more issues.

### 4/5 — Only critique hopefully it can be fixed

*2026-05-28*

When you try a recipe and review it it uploads to your profile as your recipe(it does credit the original creator). But it gets a little confusing it would be nice if they had separate albums, one for your actual recipes and one for recipes you’ve tried and liked (or disliked) this is the only critique so excited to have this app with my mom and sisters we just can’t leave any reviews because we will have the same recipe on all five accounts as our own and it gets very confusing.

**Developer response:** Hi Rachel – We are adding this EXACT update right now! Stay tuned for early next week :)
