Too many ingredients get removed before they are gone. Let me set a date to expire or give me another option than “confirm” when the app is asking to expire. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the feedback! You can tap on any ingredient in your virtual fridge to change its expiry date, remove it, or mark it as used or wasted. Expired ingredients move to the bottom of the list rather than being completely removed. We’re also constantly calibrating our expiry date estimates and improving this experience, so your feedback is really helpful. I hope this helps! If anything is still unclear or you have ideas for how we could make this easier, please reach out to us at support@ohapotato.app. ### 4/5 — Best so far *2026-04-02* So I looked everywhere for an app just like this… I had given up that it even existed until I found OH, a potato app. So far is quite intuitive to use. Just a few suggestions that would make it perfect for me, is that I would just like that instead the recipe finder I would have the option to only look at my uploaded recipes, and also on my recipe folder that the recipes would arrange themself from most ingredients in fridge to less. Overhaul it’s the closest to what I had in mind. Pretty happy with it. ### 4/5 — Recipes by ingredients *2025-05-26* Helpful app for finding recipes by ingredients. Thanks for improving the icon aesthetics, too! Please make it available in landscape mode for ease of use on iPad Pro with attached keyboard. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy that you find the recipe suggestions useful. As for the app icon, we just released a new version with a different icon, we hope you like that better. Just ensure you have the latest version from the App Store. Please note that you can move your app icon wherever you want on your Home Screen. ### 2/5 — OH, a potato! review *2025-05-24* Current review: OK, I am deleting this app! Apple put this ugliest-app-icon-ever right at the top of my Home Screen and I cannot get rid of it! Sorry but I can't use your app! Previous review: Nice app for finding recipes by ingredients. Two things: 1) I'd like it in landscape mode for use on iPad Pro; 2) that has to be the ugliest app icon I've ever seen. Ugh! ### 3/5 — OH, a potato! review *2025-05-22* Nice app for finding recipes by ingredients. Two things: 1) I'd like it in landscape mode for use on iPad Pro; 2) that has to be the ugliest app icon I've ever seen. Ugh! ### 3/5 — Better than many *2024-11-16* This app could be reasonably decent, but it needs help. First off– the logo is dreadful. Second, please make a real iPad app. I have no intention of using my phone when I’m sitting down at home planning meals based on what I already have. Third– provide an easy-access print-ready display option. I store my recipes on Zotero and don’t want to have to do fiddly photo stitching to get an image I can attach to my files. Fourth— the second recipe I found was missing crucial information. The first step was to prepare the caramelized nuts, and from the way it was set up, I was to add every ingredient to the nuts, including lettuce, cheese, oil, water, etc. Luckily, I found out I could click on the author's name and go to her site to find out what she really meant. Fifth— this is a pie-in-the-sky wish. People don't seem to understand how to compose recipes, and I'd love to see this app or any other provide tutorials. Recipes have traditionally been written with a standard and succinct vocabulary, but, oh my! The things I see online! In the aforementioned recipe, I was instructed to “make the nuts” rather than “prepare” the nuts. I suppose it sounds unimportant to anyone who has found most of their recipes online, but it irritates me. There are so many annoying extras- who needs to be told the first part is the “ingredients “ and the second is “how to make,” “instructions for cooking,” and the many dozens of other ways to clutter things up. The individual steps have just as much excess verbiage. I’ve been cooking since I was about 9 or 10 years old and am old enough to remember Nixon’s resignation and his election. I don't need or want excess stuff in my recipes, so I too often need to rewrite them to make sense. Maybe authors should provide the recipes the way they like them and the traditional, streamlined versions. ### 2/5 — How to export from notes? *2024-11-16* I keep recipe scans in apple notes app, I don’t see a way to transfer the to this app **Developer response:** Hello, We just added this functionality. Make sure you have the latest version (3.4.0), try it, and let us know how it works! ### 5/5 — Great app. *2024-10-28* The new update restores all functionality. I can see the recipes. Not need to get to updating the contents of my cupboards etc to make good use of it. Thanks to the developers for such amazing turn around to solve the issue. **Developer response:** Hello, the latest update (3.3.0) fixed this issue. Please let us know if it now works for you. ### 5/5 — Excellent application *2024-10-27* Saves tons of time, it’s highly creative and innovative the fridge scanning works well! ### 3/5 — German language *2024-10-26* Adding the German language would be very helpful. Then the app would be perfect. ### 2/5 — $799 lifetime subscription charge on Oct 26 *2024-10-26* The concept is great and I saw that a lifetime subscription was free between 22 and 26 October 2024. Tried subscribing today (26 October) but says price is $799. **Developer response:** Hello, we apologize for the unwanted charge. Please request a refund via https://support.apple.com/en-us/118223. We can grant you a promo code for the free lifetime offer if you could send us your email via support@ohapotato.app. ### 5/5 — Cooking up a storm! *2024-10-25* Recipes showing properly with latest update. This looks like a nice app with recipe suggestions based on items in the fridge. ### 4/5 — Great Design and functionalities *2024-10-24* The app has a nice User Interface and can do everything it needs to do. Additional languages like German would be great to be more useful in my daily life. ### 5/5 — Great for meal planning *2024-10-24* 5 stars! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Latest update sucks *2026-01-18* The latest update has ruined a perfectly good recipe app. Now all my measurements for saved recipes have been changed to ridiculous (and wrong) measures. I used to love this app as it made cooking easier but that’s no longer the case **Developer response:** Hi, the new update fixes the measurement issues. ### 1/5 — To much work *2025-11-18* Too much work ### 1/5 — Cancel *2025-11-17* Want to cancel **Developer response:** Hi! We don't want to see you go, but if you wish to stop your plan, here is how you can cancel your subscription: 1. Go to Settings on your iPhone 2. Tap your Apple ID 3. Tap Subscriptions 4. Tap OH, a potato! subscription 5. Select Cancel Note: Deleting the app from your device doesn't cancel your subscription ### 1/5 — Import Recipes *2024-10-30* Will no longer will scan. **Developer response:** Hello, the latest update (3.3.1) fixed this issue. Please let us know if it now works for you. ### 1/5 — Haushalt erstellen funktioniert nicht *2024-10-25* Tolle App mit wirklich genialen Funktionen. Jedoch funktioniert es nicht, einen Haushalt zu erstellen und andere Nutzer zu diesem einzuladen. So kann man leider nicht gemeinsam am Wochenplan und der Einkaufsliste arbeiten. Es kann kein Link erstellt werden und der Haushalt löscht sich wieder. **Developer response:** Hallo! Könnten Sie uns bitte weitere Details zu Haushalt-sharing mitteilen (vielleicht mit Screenshots) unter support@ohapotato.app, damit wir das Problem lösen können? Vielen Dank im Voraus! Beste Grüße ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-10-24* I put ingredients and searched for recipes but clicking an icon of each recipe does not nothing **Developer response:** Hello! We just launched a new version. Can you please update to the most recent version (3.3.0) from the App Store and see if that solves the issue? We're sorry you're having trouble with search by ingredients. ### 1/5 — Free lifetime doesn’t work *2024-10-23* I was very excited to try this app especially since they were offering a free lifetime subscription! After downloading and selecting the free lifetime offer, I was charged $20! This is very disappointing, be warned **Developer response:** Hello! Free lifetime is valid in Australia from Oct 22-26. If you mistakenly selected the monthly/yearly plan instead of the free lifetime, you must cancel it under Subscriptions in your phone settings. Apple manages subscriptions and refunds. Please let us know if you need additional help. ### 1/5 — Welll…… *2024-10-23* Not sure how this app works. Asked to review it before I could use it. It’s like a server asking how’s your meat before you can even take a bite. So I only clicked a few buttons and it didn’t seem like a good experience. Maybe if I had the chance to use the app before being asked to review it I’d have a better experience. ### 1/5 — It’s not working *2024-06-05* 1. It could not find any recipe. Even a burger was not found. 2. Import from Instagram doesn't work. It can't “read” video for sure. Can't find the recipe in the text. 3. But they already ask for money. **Developer response:** Hi Mr_jumper, we're sorry to hear this. Can you please share more details on both issues so we can fix them on support@ohapotato.app? We tried to reproduce with a number of different keywords and Instagram posts but haven't been able to reproduce. On 1) how did you search for recipes, was it via PotatoGPT search, can you please tell us the query you used? On 2) Please share the instagram post / reel you tried to import. ### 2/5 — War früher besser *2026-06-13* Man konnte früher Kategorien erstellen. Frühstück/Mittag/etc. Jetzt gibt es nur noch einen CO2-Tracker. Was brauch ich das in einer Rezept-App? Abgesehen davon ist sowieso ein rein erfundener Wert. Nur weil selbst gekocht, ist es nicht CO2 neutraler. (Wie hat das Restaurant gekocht, wo ist das Restaurant bzw. wie bin ich da hingekommen, wie und wo habe ich eingekauft…) So ein Schwachsinn… **Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback. Unser Ziel mit OH, a potato! ist es, Menschen dabei zu helfen, vorhandene Lebensmittel aufzubrauchen, öfter zu Hause zu kochen und bewusster einzukaufen. 50-60 % der Lebensmittelverschwendung entsteht in privaten Haushalten, genau dort setzen wir an. Der CO₂-Tracker soll die Auswirkungen vermiedener Lebensmittelverschwendung greifbarer machen. Wir arbeiten kontinuierlich daran, sie zu verbessern. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-10-07, version 4.5* Illustrations are off the chain. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-09-28* It’s brilliant. I love how easy it is to save recipes from Instagram ### 5/5 — Sieht zwar nich so aus aber ist richtig gute App *2025-09-24* Am meisten nutzen ich die Funktion, Links von Instagram YouTube oder aus dem Internet zu importieren und die Rezepte so zu speichern oder anzupassen. Aber auch die Funktion einfach ein Bild des Kühlschrank Inhalts zu machen, funktioniert richtig gut und es werden immer nice Rezepte rausgesucht. ### 5/5 — Meal planning is easy now *2025-04-21* This app helped me and my partner meal plan consistently. We tried other apps but none were able to make the process of figuring out what to cook (so we both like it) like the potato app. ### 5/5 — ABSOLUTE GENIUS!!!! *2024-12-16* This is THE app I’ve been waiting for since the dawn of the internet! So easy to use and no more combing through 50 sites to find that recipe I made a few months ago that I forgot to save. AND I can share it with my kids. Love the creators for figuring this out! Thank you so much!! ### 5/5 — Excellent recipe and meal planning *2024-11-25* What an amazing app that brought to life some wonderful concepts that enhances everyday meal planning. Who hasn’t seen a great recipe and thought I like to do that only to forget it, well with this app you can make that a thing of the past. The ability to add recipes or import directly from a website by simply copying and pasting URL makes these so much more useful. It goes beyond that allowing you to create a household, share and collaborate directly in the app. This is fully synchronized and thus making it harmonious for all members. ### 5/5 — Import Recipes *2024-11-06* The ability to import recipes makes it really easy. I’m inputting my recipes quickly. It detects the end of a recipe if there is one above it. The only downside is you have to cover the top one for it to detect that recipe. Really no big deal though. **Developer response:** Hello, the latest update (3.3.1) fixed this issue. Please let us know if it now works for you. ### 5/5 — Better and better *2024-11-06, version 3.3.1* I started using this app about two weeks ago and I’ve now found it my go to app for picking up recipes online and it always performs without a hitch. Takes about a 10th of the time it takes to manually copy a recipe. Incredibly useful app. ### 5/5 — Responsive developers app has a ton of potential. *2024-11-03* Some areas of feedback - first it’s a super cool app with tons of potential. I think with some love effort and time this application will grow into one of the best apps of its type. Things to consider adding: Major - The shopping list area view all should be sorted by labels and items under to split up the unorganized list in all view. - receipes should be searchable within app would be a nice perk - the scanner is only taking the fridge into consideration, not the pantry or spices available; this area could be expanded to include; fridge, pantry, spices. Minor - Dark mode - Minor UI polish ### 5/5 — Wow this app *2024-10-28, version 3.3.0* I am so impressed by all the functionalities this app have. My favourite is the one click Instagram recipe import. The household sharing is also so useful as I can share meal plans and recipe even remotely. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
