### 5/5 — Great content

*2026-08-20*

There is so much content included, thousands of recipes, yoga and Pilates sessions. I love all the videos and daily recipe suggestions and tips and advice from the community members. Monday Motivation gets the week off to a good start as well.

### 1/5 — Tried to cancel

*2026-01-05, version 2.7.9*

Tried to cancel but no response

### 5/5 — New Member

*2025-10-25*

After seeing many short videos on social media, I decided to take out a one-year subscription. I expected to simply gain access to a wide range of new recipes, but what truly surprised me was the full suite of services included. There’s everything from guided meditations and exercise routines to cooking fundamentals, batch-cooking tips, and an extensive collection of clearly explained recipes — all delivered in a warm, relaxed style. Highly recommended!

**Developer response:** ShaneLiamWhite, thank you for the lovely review! We're delighted that you're enjoying the app & our recipes 💚

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2025-08-29*

Love this community. I’m not vegan and won’t ever be but am making a concerted effort to introduce more plant based meals into my diet and the recipes tried so far have been delicious. Also love the holistic approach to overall health

**Developer response:** Sheznez19, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted that you're enjoying the app & that it's helping you get more veggies into your diet 💚

### 1/5 — This is not an app, it’s a website packaged as an app. One of the worst I have ever seen

*2025-04-16, version 2.5.6*

This is not an app, it’s a website packaged as an app. Security is appalling - how is it even allowed here?! They literally send me an email with my password in the title!! User experience is very poor. Shame cuz I had high hopes.

### 5/5 — 🥇

*2025-03-22, version 2.5.0*

I love everything about this app and the wonderful vibe you guys bring with it! I’m an Irish citizen/ native New Yorker who registered my foreign birth a number of years ago…my grandma was from Galway.   The last time we visited we stayed in Mullinivat and something changed in me! There was a beautiful herd of cows not far from the window of our room at the inn. As I had never been so close to cows I filmed and watched them every day and noticed the friendships that the cows seem to have. As a city dweller, I had never seen this.  I changed to a plant based diet after our stay.  As a new vegan the recipes have been SO helpful and very much enjoyed. Thank you for the wonderful recipes, the videos, community and the good vibes! Will definitely be stopping by The Happy Pear when we visit next ☮️☘️🥰

### 5/5 — Great app and much improved

*2025-03-13*

The app works much better now. Fantastic resource for delicious recipes, and depending on subscription access to the excellent cooking courses, plus live events yoga, meditation, health tips. Super encouraging and very knowledgeable. I’ve been cooking happy pear recipes for five years now and there is always something new to learn.

**Developer response:** wildwanders, thanks so much for the lovely review! We're constantly working to improve our app & it's wonderful to hear that it's noticed! Thank you 💚

### 4/5 — Great recipes, app has room for further improvements

*2025-01-01*

The boys have created some of the best vegan recipes I have tasted and moving on to the app has made this so much more accessible when cooking. My only critique is that the app isn’t as user friendly as others I have used and I would love to see an option for screen rotation in this app. Keep up the great work HP Team!

**Developer response:** girloutdoors, thanks so much for the lovely review! We'll take your feedback on board &  bring this to our development team. Thank you 💚

### 5/5 — An inspiring wellbeing hub

*2024-12-23*

An inspiring wellbeing hub full of delicious recipes and health tips. 

I’ve loved using this app in the lead up to Christmas, to ensure I’m as healthy as possible, and am looking forward to continuing in the New Year.

**Developer response:** Pippa Eke, Thanks so much for the lovely review 💚

### 5/5 — Amazing app!!

*2024-12-22, version 2.4.7*

If only I had a dollar for every app I download and never use. But Happy Pear is different - I just love it - everything you need is at your fingertips- food, fitness, yoga , encouragement- it’s all there!!
