It gets stuck at the end of the load bar. Works just fine with TikTok. ### 2/5 — Update broke the app *2026-08-16, version 2.38.4* Ever since the last update I can’t even get the app to open ### 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. ### 4/5 — Only critique hopefully it can be fixed *2026-05-28, version 2.33.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Frustrated *2026-05-25, version 2.33.0* Keeps freezing when importing from social media sites...then I have to exit out of all apps and I lose the recipe ### 3/5 — Just stopped loading *2026-05-24, version 2.33.0* Since this last update, the app won’t even open on my phone. Has it gone completely subscription based? I’m kinda bummed, I was enjoying the app and collecting some really good recipes. ### 3/5 — It’s pretty good *2026-05-02, version 2.32.2* I wish they just had a video on how to make it step by step ### 3/5 — Nice *2026-05-02, version 2.32.2* It’s a good app…I actually really like but am doing this so it stops asking me to rate it everytime I get on ### 2/5 — I can’t find anything *2026-04-12, version 2.31.0* This is my first one so I think I’ll try a different one, but if you were someone else besides me, you would probably like it, but I don’t like it ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2026-04-03, version 2.31.0* Way too expensive to share recipes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Want to cancel trial *2026-08-10, version 2.38.1* Want to cancel trial. It’s a never ending circle trying to get support to ensure that the subscription is cancelled. ### 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, version 2.38.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-03, version 2.38.1* I downloaded the app and can’t get past the Welcome screen ### 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, version 2.34.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Not able to upload recipes *2026-05-17, version 2.33.0* I used to be able to copy and paste recipes into the app so others could see them and save them for themselves, but it has been months since that was possible; every time I try to post a recipe, it disappears to who knows where and doesn’t show up in my cookbook at all. I refuse to pay a ridiculous of money to upgrade the app; I’ve been using the free version ever since I started and I’ve never had an issue until now; I’m about ready to just delete it entirely and use another app that doesn’t give me issues ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2026-05-03, version 2.32.2* This app used to be super good, I have a lot of recipes saved and that I’ve made but the last few months it’s almost impossible to use. It always says it’s “having server issues” and kicks me off of it. It’s basically unable to be used anymore ### 1/5 — This app WAS great *2026-04-26, version 2.32.1* This app was great when I first got it. I even paid for the support. Now, it’s won’t even open, it’s just stuck on the home screen. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2026-04-07, version 2.31.0* 0 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Solid App So Far *2026-08-26, version 2.38.5* I’m always skeptical of these apps I am targeted with ads for on social media. I’ve tried to use other apps that claim to be able to integrate links from Facebook with recipes into them for saving. This is the first one I’ve tried that actually works most of the time. I also appreciate the built in AI recipe builder, I give it what I’m looking for and it spits out some great recipe ideas. I’ve previously mostly used Samsung food for this kind of task, but I find this user interface much cleaner and manageable. While it has Instacart linking, I do wish it had Walmart also, that would be my only suggestion for an improvement. Outside of that it’s a great app so far. ### 5/5 — New user *2026-08-17, version 2.38.4* Give me a chance to use it ### 5/5 — Never been a cook *2026-08-12, version 2.38.1* This APP is phenomenal! If you’re like me, hardly any experience with cooking, these recipes are easy to follow and tasty! My family loves what I make & I actually enjoy cooking now! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-30, version 2.38.1* Easy to use love this app ### 5/5 — David Nussbaum is Awesome/why I joined!!!!/Loved it so much I brought a lot of My Fans with me *2026-07-29, version 2.38.1* I’m an award winning chef and blogger from the Heart of Lancaster County Pennsylvania, David Recommended this to me and I am so glad He did, it’s phenomenal just like Him and This Fabulous all star team that brought us this cutting edge app which merges social media and my culinary passion, I believe Pepper is on a great Mission and am Thrilled that I recommended this to my foodie followers on social media and countless numbers of them (I literally lost track) followed me Here and I’ve Heard nothing but Praise for Pepper and tell everyone I meet about it at some point or another because I think it’s a handy app that Helps everyone learn at all skill levels and taste preferences, It’s really an App that grows with Its members but is also so creator friendly and encourages Building your content as well as Finding others to enjoy, I give it My Five Stars wholeheartedly across the board!!!! -ChefDaniel Lancaster Pennsylvania ### 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. ### 5/5 — Boo *2026-05-01, version 2.32.2* Signed up for a 1 promo you fully charged me for the entire year ### 5/5 — A few issues *2026-04-29, version 2.32.2* I was unable to port a recipe over from Facebook, it continued to give me a “something went wrong” error- otherwise great app ### 5/5 — THE Best Recipe App *2026-04-26, version 2.32.1* I have had a few good recipe apps over the last several years but this one is by far my favorite. It can catalog both written and video recipes in a nice format that’s easy to follow when cooking and it also gives you a reliable link back to the original video if you want to follow along. There’s been some bug issues, but I’ve never received such amazing customer support as I have from the Pepper team. With every update, it gets better and better. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Recipes *2026-04-11, version 2.31.0* I love this app soo much !! It keeps all my recipes in one place that I can see anytime.. Very easy to use!
