### 5/5 — Game changer

*2026-03-28*

RecipeBud is a game changer! Easy to use, great recipe variety, and perfect for planning meals. Highly recommend!

**Developer response:** Thank you! Easy meal planning is a big focus for us so glad it’s hitting the mark. More good stuff on the way!

### 5/5 — Step by step

*2026-03-24*

I cook a lot, but often the same things because accessing recipes whilst I’m cooking is such a hassle. I’ve been using the cooking functionality on RecipeBud to super easily work through even complex recipes that push my skills and food experience! I love it! Am also trying out the shopping functionality so I don’t have to run back and forth in the store getting every ingredient. A huge time saver on a busy week when I still want to try something new in the kitchen.

**Developer response:** This made my day to read. Pushing your skills with new recipes is exactly what cook mode was built for, and great to hear the shopping list is saving you trips too. Lots more coming that I think you’ll enjoy!
