Beware malicious ads
The app itself is fine, nice tool to help find recipes with the ingredients you have.
I have recently deleted the app as it has started showing malicious ads claiming the device has been hacked and instructions to click on it.
This needs to be addressed.

Not adding to Walmart cart
I picked recipes, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get them to add to my Walmart cart. It kept saying try later even after I deleted the app and redownloaded
Love the app but
Love this app for logging new recipes and creating my own. Easy to organize and categorize. Sad note that takes away stars is that the app no longer logs the nutrition facts when creating new recipes. ☹️
Can’t even access the app
I was going to give this a shot after budget bites is being planned to close, but I can’t even get into the supposed replacement app. No matter how many times I change my password the app won’t recognize the account and can’t log me in. Recognizes the email though when I try to create a new account with it. 🤷🏻♂️

Delicious food
Easy and practical I love it! You should try!
Too many requests?
I was absolutely loving this app until I was editing a recipe and it crashed and said too many requests please try again later. I have waited over an hour and absolutely nothing. Then I try to go to the website and I can’t even login because I used my Apple ID and it won’t even let me change my password.

Those food are good!!!
Please make a restaurant and a store
My favourite recipe app!
I love this app - it’s easy to navigate and no matter what you feel like cooking (or eating), there’s a suggestion or a recipe to suit.
I use the groceries option, even though I’m in Australia and it doesn’t ‘do’ anything as far as convenient grocery ordering, it’s still a great function for making a list without having to go back and forth between recipes to make sure you’re buying enough for all meals.
The pantry function is awesome when you want to use up what you have before restocking.
Great app, and the only one that I’ve found that really has it all!
Hopefully one day it will connect with my local grocery chains, but even without that, it’s my go-to!
Would love to see some more complex & gourmet options for really special occasions too!

Great app
Lots of great ideas and easy meal planning. The only thing that could be improved is being able to print out the recipe. Or possibly seeing a monthly view so you can swap things out or move them around in the month.
Budget bytes terminated and replaced with whatever this is
I know I’m late to the game but I was going through my apps and forgot budget bytes was replaced by this. This app is hard to navigate and pointless. Budget bytes was meant to help people find affordable meals that were easy to cook. This is not that.
Meal prep
Application très utile pour faire un repas pour la famille ou simplement un Meal Prep pour la semaine quand tu t’entraînes à la salle d’entraînement
Good Design. Poorly Executed.
I want to love this app as the UI is the best I have seen from these recipe manager apps, but it’s clear this is targeted towards the American market with the ingredients forcing themselves to the American way (a perfect example is when adding Rocket, it changes it into Arugula in the ingredients list which is annoying). Another example of this is the estimated cost feature showing it in US dollars with no way to change it to my local currency. Another big issue I’ve had is that when I’ve been copying across my recipes, I’ve had an error pop up saying that I’ve had too many requests. This renders the app completely useless as you can’t even view recipes. I’m not sure if this is intended as I’m using the free version, but there’s no explanation as to why I’m receiving these messages. Also, when you click onto the Meal Planner section of the app, I get presented with a DJANGO REST FRAMEWORK page with code. Another gripe is the clunkiness when putting in ingredients and quantities as you currently have to type in your ingredient, then go to another box to put in the quantity, then go to ANOTHER box to select the units of measurements. It would be far better to design a system that allows you to type in what you want (e.g. 15g of Cheese) and then have the system to decode that statement so that it correctly formats. This will make it feel more natural. Another improvement that should be made in the recipe steps area is designing the step boxes so that they can be expanded or automatically adjusted to the contents being put in as they are far too small which means I need to tediously scroll. In summary, overall, it’s a nicely designed app with potentially awesome features. However, I feel that some areas of the app have questionable design features and poorly executed UI experiences that need refining. The biggest issue that I feel needs addressing is adding localisation features to allow the user to select their own currency and stop forcing the ingredient names to suit only the American market.

Really seems to be great!
This app seems to be a great app and I can’t wait to make a meal from using it.
The only cooking app you will ever need
This app is all encompassing! You’ll never need anything more. It’s so user friendly and has the most delicious recipes to try.
Great app
Highly recommended, helps you make stuff from what you have in the cabinets as well as find new recipes and organizes a grocery list of everything you will need for all the recipes. Helps you plan out your week in advance for what you would like to have each day. Really Lovin’ this app use it everyday !

Response from developer
Thank you so much for the review!
Best app to save my recipes
I’ve tried many recipe apps, and this one is definitely the best one so far. Most of the apps I’ve used before didn’t allow me to save more than 20 recipes (unless I pay for it), but SideChef does. The UI is very user-friendly, and it’s probably the prettiest among the recipe apps I’ve used so far.
My only issue with SideChef is that sometimes it doesn’t save the changes I made to my own recipes. I would also like more options for organizing my recipes, as now I can only access them via the “saved” button on the top right corner. It would be nice if I could customize their order, add tags, and add more details like preparation time and cooking time!

Great app
Haven’t actually made any of the dishes yet. Just downloaded it today but so far I am loving how easy it is to find and save new recipes and make meal plans and it even gives you a shopping list for what you need
Not working
Unable to update recipes 🤷🏻♀️ don’t save any changes in the app or via browser.
I like the app apart from this problem. I have to delete recipes and add again to be able yo change.

Misleading free trial
Largely misleading free trial and also full of bugs. Churned user
A TOTAL LIFE SAVER!
Deciding what to eat every week and providing variety in a nutritious way for my family has been a struggle. I have been ordering food online for a while, but getting a cart together is still an annoying chore. I love that I can find a recipe here, and it converts all of ingredients into a grocery cart for me to order at Walmart. And it’s free! Absolutely awesome so far. We have saved so much money on groceries using this app. Try it!
