### 1/5 — Used to be free… what gives?

*2025-08-19*

Used to be free for years now wants 20 bucks? Trash.

### 2/5 — Interesting Concept

*2024-03-14, version 3.0.0*

I really like the Concept of the extension but the pricing model seems a bit steep a one time fee would be acceptable but the monthly fee or yearly is in my mind overpriced and undervalued. If the extension would offer a better value to price ratio with additional features the price would be justified, in the current version that is not the case.

### 4/5 — Very expensive

*2023-07-31, version 2.0.18*

It’s very expensive for the little gadget it is maybe reconsider the pricing but it is useful though

### 1/5 — doesn't work

*2023-02-05*

The "need help" instructions are outdated and inaccurate. When allowing access on all websites, it still doesn't work. Apparently the app needs to be updated.

Don't buy the subscription - the developer is not invested.

**Developer response:** Hey! Sorry to hear it wasn't working for you. I've pushed an update to improve the instructions. Do you have an example web page where it wasn't working for you, as well as what you were seeing on the recipe page? I'd love to get it working for you!

### 5/5 — Great for the holidays

*2021-12-25*

Saved me a ton of time, especially with holiday cooking and looking at different recipes.

### 5/5 — Yeah, I’m his Dad, but I REALLY did find this useful.

*2021-12-22*

Downloaded this app two weeks ago and have used it about five times so far.  Worked every time, saving me a few minutes each time, but more importantly, eliminated lots of frustration!!  Definitely worth the 3 bucks!

### 5/5 — The app you didn’t know you needed!

*2021-11-30*

You know those small annoyances in life that you wish there was a solution for?  Here’s a quick and inexpensive way to get rid of one!  This app does exactly what it promises-gets right to the recipe without the annoying carpal-inducing scrolling. So simple yet so genius. The first busy night you come home to cook dinner and just want to get started, you’ll thank yourself for buying this. Bon appetit!!
