### 3/5 — Promising Idea

*2025-04-20*

Great concept for an app, just needs more refining. The recipes were generally hard to follow and I wish there was a way to rate recipes to see what people liked. I also think some ingredients got lost in translation. My favorite feature is that the ingredients for your chosen recipes get compiled into a grocery list.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App - Highly Recommend

*2024-09-07*

For someone who isn’t a great meal planner or cook this is perfect. Simple instructions and so many different options. The best app of its kind out there, highly recommend

### 5/5 — Great App
