### 2/5 — Sakara has started to gone downhill quality wise.

*2025-07-26*

Portions are much smaller than before. One dish had undercooked beans that almost sent me to the ER.   
Also, those awful refrigerator packs they now use are BOT reusable or recyclable. I used to reuse the plastic ones dozens of times until they broke. The paper ones break right away. Sometimes in the shipping box. I had a mess once. 

I do hope that they pay attention to these reviews. I believe in the company and really want it to succeed.  I will give them one last chance. I ordered a week of Level II detox. If it's good, I will update my review. 

My original dream prior to the quality issues was to be able to have 2 weeks of Sakara every month! 🙂

### 2/5 — Confused about the good app reviews

*2023-08-02*

Sakara might be great as a company and a meal service, but this app is horrendous. It barely loads anything and is super slow and glitchy. And half the features are not even on here. Not really worth getting the app IMO unless they make some serious upgrades - I end up having to just do everything on the desktop website, so I deleted the app off my phone.

### 1/5 — Would be helpful if it worked

*2023-01-28, version 1.6.6*

iPhone app. Put me in a sign in loop. Have deleted app and reloaded regenerated pw several time. No results

### 3/5 — Cancellation

*2023-01-05, version 1.6.6*

The app is great unless you want to cancel your subscription. It does not work. Use the desktop website to do this!

### 1/5 — Would be nice if it worked

*2022-12-29, version 1.6.6*

On my iPhone 12 Pro, the app gets stuck in an endless login loop (yes, with the correct login and password). Even when I could occasionally get into the app, the calendar function didn’t work, so I couldn’t update my plan. I really wish you guys would fix this thing.

### 3/5 — Love the program hate the app

*2022-12-15*

I love Sakara but the app is awful. It’s hit or miss whether it will save my changes and sometimes certain items won’t load or take forever to do so. Despite the app I will continue to order Sakara but I’d be so appreciative if it could work better because I see how helpful it has the potential to be.

### 1/5 — Literally doesn't work

*2022-11-01, version 1.6.1*

It quite literally will not except login credentials. It just flips back to the login screen.

### 1/5 — App Hard to Use

*2022-10-19, version 1.6.0*

The program is good but the app is impossible to use. It’s even harder to try and swap meal on their site. It’s challenging to see or select meals for the upcoming week or make clear changes to your plan. You never know if you’d made a change for that week or permanently.

### 2/5 — Not authenticated

*2022-10-11*

As of yesterday I keep getting this red bar and wording in the top of my app. It won’t let me check my calendar, manage my subscription, shop, etc. was working fine in past but between app issue and delivery issues, I’m slowly losing any and all interest in this company

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2022-10-09*

Needs an update with fixes to the app continuously loading the shop tab. I am unable to view any products due to the issue. I’ve deleted and redownloaded the app, logged in and out but the issue persists.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2022-07-29*

I have downloaded the app multiple times and I continue to have the same issue. I enter in my email address and then as soon as I press submit for the password it kicks me out and brings me back to the original login screen to enter your email address. It won’t let me fully log onto the app no matter what I do

**Developer response:** Hi there! So sorry to hear you are having problems logging in. If you can, would please share more details to help us resolve the issues you are having. Please drop us a note at support@sakara.com

### 2/5 — Very buggy

*2022-07-28, version 1.4.6*

Sometimes it allows me to log in, sometimes it doesn’t — most times I have to use the web to access my account. Content & calendar are great if they would work consistently. Please work out the log in issues!

### 1/5 — No Show + No Response

*2022-07-09, version 1.4.2*

Bought a recurring subscription two weeks in advance, it never arrived. I wrote support for two days; concierge hasn’t responded for three+ days now. Uhm, where’s my order? I had planned weekly meals on this amid busy schedule, but SAKARA is unreliable. And for a “luxe” price tag? Yeesh.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2022-06-22, version 1.4.0*

It’s just ok. I get push notifications but can’t click on them to get more information.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-09-19, version 4.1.2*

This app keeps pushing updates but it has given an “unauthorized” error messages on any pf the subscription pages for many months now.

### 1/5 — App needs help

*2025-09-14*

The app has been non-functional for months now with no updates. You can’t log in/out or make changes to your plan or even see anything about your plan. Sakara itself is great but not sure why it’s harder and harder to be a customer. Extras that used to be included with every order (detox tea and probiotics) apparently now have to be ordered specially (but good luck getting anywhere near using the app to do this). And you still cannot combine any mix of breakfast, lunch, or dinner rather than one, the other, or all for any week or part of the week. You also can’t use points earned through buying meals towards a discount on the meals. You have to get their other products, which I’m not really interested in. Hopefully these issues get sorted out. If the goal is to save money, losing the customer base through cost-cutting efforts isn’t going to get you there. One way might be to sent 5 days of breakfasts in one box rather than sending such tiny items that last a week in two separate deliveries, etc. I used to buy at least 3-5 days EVERY week, often for 2 meals a day, but now I buy only occasionally and use other services instead.

### 1/5 — Used it for years… the tech and consistency just gets worse…

*2025-08-21, version 4.1.1*

The food and supplements are great… that’s assuming they’re in stock (so many supply issues the past year) and that the app actually works for you to buy them.

### 1/5 — Incredibly disappointed

*2025-07-24*

I have been a loyal customer of Sakara Life for over 7 years, particularly invested in the Metabolism powder. It began with top quality clinical grade ingredients formulated by scientists and tasted like a molten cacao drink fit for the gods.  Unfortunately, the subscription price has been reduced alongside the ingredients and recipe, the last straw being the “new formula” recently rolled out in the new 9.7oz package. Monthly subscription price is $76 and used to provide the consumer with 20oz of coffee-replacing goodness. Now that is all long gone, shipped in a cardboard box that is 5 times the size of the bag, presumably to elicit excitement but realistically accompanied by a heavy heart once one discovers the cardboard flavor has become the entire cup of cocoa.

### 1/5 — Impossibly bad app

*2025-07-16, version 4.0.5*

Given that the price point of their food, Sakara should spend some money to make the app usable.  Trying to pause weeks or redeem awards points is virtually impossible. Of course, buying things is a snap.

### 1/5 — Great food, awful customer service

*2024-08-15*

I’ve tried Sakara off and on for years and the food is great and healthy (although a bit pricey).  The issue is their utter lack of customer service/addressing customer pain points.  The delivery window is 12am - 6am, with no tracking of the delivery, which works if the delivery arrives at midnight but is miserable
if you’re sitting around at 2am waiting for your food (since just leaving the box outside your building more often than not leads to the box being stolen).  Every other meal delivery company (cookunity, thistle, nutre etc.) can figure this out and it’s crazy that Sakara, which is the priciest by far, has gotten this feedback for years and can’t make a change for their customers.  Ultimately, I had to cancel.

PS - it’s extra crazy given that sleep is just as important as nutrition and waiting up for my Sakara deliveries totally messed with my sleep schedule!

### 1/5 — Frustrating!!

*2024-03-25*

This app crashes and is not user friendly. I’ve been trying for days to purchase a one time lunch 20 day program and the total is double what it should be. In fact I tried just adding a two day program and every time the cost is $1276. I’ve contacted Sakara several times with no resolution. My friends have the same issue and have been contacting them. I guess they don’t want our money. They have to be getting complaints about this 🤷🏻‍♀️
The app also crashes when I click on certain links.

### 1/5 — Love the program, hate the technology

*2024-01-02, version 1.8.9*

The app, the checkout process, managing subscriptions, basically anything that involves technology is appalling with Sakara.  It’s really a shame because the lack of user experience and investment in technology has resulted in me cutting way back on my purchases.

### 1/5 — Love Sakara but the app needs work

*2023-07-10, version 1.7.4*

I am writing this review so that you make some much needed changes to the app:
1/the app freezes and says “no response” 
2/there is no way to access or use your points 
3/the order history won’t load 

Quite honestly this is one of the worst apps I’ve seen. Over the two years I’ve used Sakara the app has not improved…

### 1/5 — IOS Sakara app is just awful!!

*2023-06-19*

I am speechless. I just downloaded a more recent version of the Sakara App and it is even worse than before. It opens to a Welcome page with your name and Rewards points. But there is no way to get to your Rewards or even use them on a Meal plan, or anything else. 
And I finally figured out that the Shopping Bag icon is not your shopping bag. It takes you to where you can shop Sakara. But the prices are completely wrong. A 5 day Lunch Only meal subscription costs $145 on the website and $265 in the App! I honestly feel that you should just get rid of this app. It is worthless. (I have done software development for decades. No idea how you could have released this app. Obviously not tested.)

*2025-03-26*

Sakara has been one of my favorite tools in my tool box love having easy healthy meals ready and obsessed with the supplements fiber powder has been a game changer for me. The app is a little tricky sometimes but hopefully they will get it fixed soon

### 5/5 — The app makes me love Sakara even more!

*2023-06-28*

The app makes it so easy to navigate and choose my meals each week. I’ve been eating Sakara meals for the last 60 days and feel AMAZING. My diet is mainly paleo because I’m celiac so this helps me get in all of my daily greens on top of my protein needs. Also obsessed with the green smoothies!

### 5/5 — The best app!

*2023-06-22*

Sakara app is so easy to check the menu and make any changes and adjustments on my subscriptions! It really just takes 1 click !

### 5/5 — Love at first bite

*2023-06-06*

I have been using Sakara for almost two years. This program is the reason I am able to
eat healthy every day. I used to buy fresh veggies and end up Throwing them away because I would not have time to prep them. These meals can be taken to work or anywhere that I am. It is a gift to myself to eat these meals.

### 5/5 — Good food, easy app

*2021-10-22*

The app is easy to use and is very useful to me. I’m constantly looking at it. I just joined the program so I am a little obsessed

### 5/5 — This food is amazing

*2021-05-21*

Love this app- love the points program. All of their food is delicious and makes me feel amazing and I don’t know how they do it. Would love a cookbook when it comes out.

### 5/5 — Sakara is Divine

*2021-05-21*

I have been a loyal Sakara customer since 2017. The food is absolutely amazing and delicious!! It’s also beautiful. I’m never hungry on Sakara, which was surprising to me since I’m not a vegetarian by any means. I’ve done the 5-day program, 3 meals a day, but also smaller amounts. It is so good that I don’t even bother trying other companies. Absolutely Love Sakara! 🫐🥦🥬🥒🍠🥕🍑🍒🍋🍉🍇🥬
