### 5/5 — Don’t judge a book by its cover!

*2022-10-09, version 2.1.0*

I’ll be honest, I was a bit hesitant downloading this app thinking it was another one of the ad spammed apps or in app purchases type of guide. I was completely wrong! This app is exactly what I needed, it’s not cluttered, everything is perfectly laid out, even found that you can check all the different stats each meal can offer. Love the app! Im already recommending it to friends!

### 5/5 — The Whole Shabang

*2022-04-28, version 2.0.2*

This app has everything you could ask for in a cooking guide and more.
I appreciate the fact that this is in-app purchase free.

This is some of the best work I have ever seen by a fan and I hope they make a similar app for the sequel.

### 5/5 — Best App for BOTW Recipes FREE!!!

*2022-02-07, version 2.0.2*

Better than any other app out there. Hands down.

### 5/5 — Free Ingredient Info, and easily accessed? 10/10 score for this app!!!

*2021-10-11, version 2.0.2*

This is my go-to guide for recipe effects! Simple and easy to use, plus it doesn’t ask you to buy subscriptions to unlock material info!
My favorite part about this is that I can easily browse ingredients for elixirs, and it sorts from top to bottom efficacy for ingredient time and power which is so helpful. Now I finally know what to do with my many multitudes of Bokoblin Guts— they increase your elixir’s effects by 3:10 minutes and I wouldn’t have known that without this app!!! It’s just very useful for making meals in BotW!

### 5/5 — No ads

*2021-06-19, version 2.0.2*

No ads great GUI

### 5/5 — So useful!

*2021-02-20, version 2.0.2*

This app is super simple and easy to navigate. Unlike other apps that have adds every time you click on a recipe. I highly recommend getting this breath of the wild cooking app!

### 5/5 — Best thing ever

*2020-10-04, version 2.0.1*

I love this it’s the best thing i ever downloaded now I can stop writing down then and just simply look at my phone!

### 5/5 — 5 Star app

*2020-07-11, version 1.3*

So i have been playing Botw Ever sense it came out, and seeing this app makes it easier experience For Botw!

### 5/5 — This is what I need

*2020-07-09, version 1.3*

After learning how to cook I got super excited and found this while searching for botw. It really helped me.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2020-06-25, version 1.3*

This helped and still helps me so much throughout the game Zelda botw. These recipes where so incredibly helpful when I was going in to defeat the Devine beast, or Gannon. And it also helps with quests when needed! Now I don’t always get dubious food with this! 🤩 So thank you for making this app. it is very efficient.

### 5/5 — wow.

*2020-06-01, version 1.3*

Just wow

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-05-24, version 1.3*

recipes have saved my life a couple of times and it showed me the best ingredients

### 5/5 — Brilliant interface/app

*2020-05-22, version 1.3*

This should be part of game! App Developer: you should look into selling this to the game developers to be made part of the game in a future update.

I need this app whenever I play. Saves so much time, and makes the game much more enjoyable. Thanks for offering it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Basic

*2021-01-14, version 2.0.2*

There’s a way to get a x3 30 min out of every single entree, Hyrule Master Chef round them all

### 1/5 — Bad quality

*2017-07-07, version 1.1.2*

The app is super slow. I only downloaded this app because somebody recommended it on another app because the other app had ads. But that app is so much better because it has pictures of the food so you can see what you're about to cook. I would rather have ads on a good app than no ads on this piece of garbage.

### 2/5 — Cool but unstable

*2020-07-03, version 1.3*

It freezes up a lot and I’ve found some recipes to be inaccurate. But it did help me get started with recipe building!

### 3/5 — Update needed to include Tears of the kingdom cooking items

*2023-06-30, version 2.1.1*

The app needs to be updated to include the New materials , dishes and elixirs, if not make a new app ASAP!

### 3/5 — Pretty good, but not perfect

*2023-01-08, version 2.1.1*

The meals need better organization based on effect. For the elixirs, it shows each effect (speed boost, stealth, etc) as its own category and which elixirs can be made to get that desired effect. However, meals only have two categories - effect and no effect. It would be better if they were sorted by the TYPE of effect they provide rather than just whether or not they provide an effect.

### 4/5 — Missing Food

*2023-12-27, version 2.1.1*

This App Is Great But Where Is The Meat And Mushroom Skewer?

### 4/5 — Cool! Could do with some corrections though

*2021-07-18, version 2.0.2*

This is an amazing app that helped me get better at cooking in the game. Things that could be better are: where it says "Resale Value" it could mabye say "Resell Value" instead of the other one, I think this might be a typo if its not don't worry. The ability of the dragon parts to make the cooking critical every time should also be acounted for. Apart from that, Good job!

### 4/5 — Great app that could do with a big improvement.

*2020-07-21, version 2.0*

This app is very useful at listing all the possible meals and separating ordinary meals from those with effects. If I could suggest one improvement it would be to filter by specific effect, with the results ordered by effect level then time.

### 4/5 — Fantastic app, aside from the freezing

*2020-05-09, version 1.3*

As a relatively new BOTW player, this app has been a life-saver. It still baffles me that there isn’t a built-in recipe book in the game. This app solves that problem and does it very well. The only reason I can’t give it five stars is the CONSTANT freezing when clicking between ingredients or meals. I have to force close the app and reopen it to get it to work again. Fix that issue and this is a five star app without question.

### 4/5 — Tolles Nachschlagewerk

*2020-02-22, version 1.3*

Tolle App sehr übersichtlich! Jetzt noch bitte in Deutsch xD das übersetzten im Kopf ist doch echt anstrengend.

### 5/5 — REALLY COOL

*2026-02-04, version 2.1.1*

Love it bc cooking all the different meals are cool (who knew there were so many) and also when I’m running low on supplies it tells me where is can find more!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-01-26, version 2.1.1*

I can easily locate any recipe I want, very handy app thanks

### 5/5 — Needs updating

*2025-04-29, version 2.1.1*

The app is really amazing but there are some flaws that need to be updated cooking 4 hearty lizards and a bokoblin horn in the app says it will give 8 hearts it gives you 16 and the app has trouble with example I thought the cold butterflies were tier one heat but they’re tier 2 overall excellent app and I use it a lot but needs some updates

### 5/5 — The Best App Ever

*2025-01-22, version 2.1.1*

So I JUST downloaded this app and it is AMAZING. It literally just shows you the recipes and effects and even tells you what you can replace if you don’t have the ingredient needed. Also, it’s free. Nothing costs money or something special, all you need is your finger and click, you’re done! This is literally what I need for survival in Zelda.

### 5/5 — Great app for starting off BOTW in 2024

*2024-09-29, version 2.1.1*

Just recently got myself BOTW and was looking for a great app like this to help me alone my adventures

### 5/5 — Perfect app

*2024-08-08, version 2.1.1*

I wish I found this app when I first started playing it’s super handy

### 5/5 — Favorite app for BOTW

*2023-06-17, version 2.1.1*

I actually used this for a few years before reviewing, and it’s the best.
I hope there will be a version for TOTK.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-06-15, version 2.1.1*

Ok I am someone who adores the botw and totk cooking mechanics so this app made me so happy when I found it, I’m mainly leaving this review to ask if you will be adding the tears of the kingdom recipes to this app or if you will be making a new app either way I will be so happy

### 5/5 — I don’t know this existed

*2023-01-21, version 2.1.1*

I searched this up with no hope thinking an app like this didn’t exist, but it does! And it’s amazing you can search for recipes with a specific items or for specific recipes to see what ingredients you need, very helpful
I do have one complaint though, it doesn’t show you the pictures of the recipes. It shows all other info you could ever need but there are no photos

### 5/5 — Holy moly

*2022-12-31, version 2.1.1*

i have been looking throughout all the botw stuff and BY FAR this is the absolute easiest and nicest one. definitely would recommend fr.
