Customer Support

I have a Pro membership and Pestle recently changed their “Recently Saved” format. I could not find my recipes and contacted them through the app several times with no response. I went to their social media page and left a message there. I received a rude response with an explanation on how they had changed this feature. Not happy with the CS, thinking maybe on not renewing my Pro Membership….

Very Unhappy-Updated

I did receive a refund. So customer service was good.
I paid for lifetime access to this app and it’s not working. I wanted to save recipes from various sites including social media and it’s not working. I want my money back!

No Mac Version🙁

Make a Mac version or even just make the iPad version available for Mac install and it would be 5 stars. iPad is fine for one or two recipes to upload, Mac would make it so much easier to manage.
