Dishonest Developer
The app appears free, but after adding a limited number of recipes it blocks further use behind a trial. This limitation wasn’t clear to me before downloading.
False advertising
Was working so well, then they changed to a paid subscription. Can’t add your own recipes or even download/import as often. Might as well delete it now.
Erased all recipes
Recent upgrade to app June/July 2026 erased all recipes. Now asking to reregister and pay a chunk of $$.
Not at all happy. Do not trust this app.
Prior to this, it was awesome.

Monetization ruined this app
This used to be one of my favorite apps. I really just used the URL import feature to keep track of some of my favorite recipes versus bookmarking them in Safari. Recently the developers introduced an update to make you pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee to use it. I would have paid $20 one time to keep my recipes organized in this app, but $60/year is insane. Bye!

All my recipes have been deleted!
Suddenly I don’t have access to recipes I’ve been making for years! Everything I’ve ever saved to my account has disappeared. Oddly enough, this seems to have happened at the same exact time that the app tried to force me to purchase the paid version. I will not be extorted, so I guess I’ll just never be making any of the recipes I saved in this app again. Going to look into legal opinions, though, because years of my data should not have been deleted without my consent. The people who run this app are pure scum and will get what’s coming to them if my recipes are not restored immediately!

Paywalled my recipes without warning.
Do not use this app. It was free for years and suddenly paywalled itself. All of my recipes that I have entered, created, etc. are now gone.
I am livid.

Disappointed with updates
I have always relied on this app to keep my recipes safe and handy. I opened it yesterday to find a recipe I liked and I couldn’t get in. Today I opened it and found out MY RECIPES are no longer there. I’m very upset about this. I don’t have them anywhere else and will either have to look for them elsewhere or tell my husband that we can no longer have some of our favorite dishes. Thanks loads. I’m in my eighties and my memory isn’t all that great. Now I have to find a new app that won’t remove my recipes.
I am not paying for this. It’s always been free and didn’t lose my recipes. Forget about getting any money from me.

Disappointed
No longer free, all prior recipes were lost
Love this app for what it can do (bug fix needed)
I love this app for what it can do with linked recipes! It pulls the info and lists it in an organized manner do you don’t have to look up the webpages and get buried in ads!
I use the app on iOS, and there is unfortunately a bug right now where I am unable to manually add a personal recipe… the only bypass is by going to the actual recipebox website, manually typing in my personal recipe— and then going back into the app to add my food photo. If this feature worked in the app it would be perfect.

TRASH APP NOW
This app lost ALL of my recipes that I had saved. Now I can’t see any of them because you have to create a subscription & pay just to log in. Are you kidding me?! That’s how you went from the best app to the worst app ever.
At least let me pay to remove ads
Constant ads, constant, pop-ups, full page hostage screens that prevent you from getting to your recipe. I already paid for this app and now it’s full of ads.
Not great / Ads
The app is convenient. I’ll admit but I paid for a subscription just to get an ad for Walmart every single time I opened the app. I don’t understand that…. ?? I understand if I wasn’t paying for it, but since I am, I don’t want any ads at all. It’s annoying.
Locked out
What’s up? I’ve been saving recipes in this app for years - for free, and all of a sudden I can’t access my recipes. There was no warning that the app was moving to paid version only! I don’t even remember which email or password I originally used, because I’ve been using this for so long.
Absolute Trash
The app is pretty good when it doesn’t wipe your ENTIRE recipe list clean after more than six years of use!!! Seriously?! Then it’s a $55 annual subscription fee to even use it anymore. Use Paprika, way better and WAY cheaper.
Change for the worse
The latest changes wiped out my recipes and now it wants you to create an account and pay!!!
Why do I need a login?
Been using this apps for over 5 years. The recent update required me to establish a username for the first time. This erased alls my saved recipes. It was a great app, but I'll stop using it before the dump my data again or institute a paywall.
Do not get this app
I’ve been using this app for years. Then they suddenly started charging and erased all my recipes. If you want to keep your recipes DO NOT trust this app
Need a subscription
You can only save 5 recipes for free. I’m saving via URL/internet ones and you can only do 5. Waste of time recipes
Unable to log in
Says no user found when I’m trying to login and I’ve had this account for years. Reached out to support and still have no response. I have recipes on there from years ago that I can’t access!
App used to work until “upgrades”
This app used to work brilliantly for **years** until they ‘enhanced’ it. I’ve spent hours adding favorite recipes and notes with dietary modifications. The only thing that was mildly unstable was the ability to add pictures. In recent months, they added annoying pop-ups advertising subscription services. The app still worked, but was disruptive to use and suddenly core functions like adding a recipe from a url became unreliable. Today, I opened the app only to find I had been logged out and the app no longer recognizes my username or password. The ‘forgot password’ function is broken. Even the ability to create a new account with a username and password is broken! All my recipes are lost—despite the app’s central premise…no more lost recipes. They took a brilliant app and completely ruined it.
