Great recipes, love the cook mode

I downloaded the app for inspiration but now my student son shares my account & is using it to learn to cook. The cook mode with audio instructions as well as timers is so helpful, and there are lots of filters so if you want veggie or budget recipes, or even 15 minute recipes, you can adjust the filters & lots of recipes come up. I try to cook the packs of recipes so I can save on fresh food waste, and my son will definitely do that at Uni. It would be great to have a web version so I can use it on the iPad. Definitely recommend this for more accomplished cooks looking for weekday inspo, and beginners.

Take stress out of grocery store shopping

I’ve been using this app for 4 years now. It is so great. My husband and I only have to decide which pack we are getting instead of stressing at the grocery store. We have learned new flavors, techniques, ingredients, and have fun cooking because of it. Highly recommend!

Was life altering

Enjoyed it for a year, completely changed the way we did meals. But the use of AI is saddening, sometimes plain wrong or confusing…very disappointing. Also the UI change wasn’t for the best either - it’s made it more difficult.
A shame really, but if things don’t improve, we’ll look to alternatives.

Decent, but needs an iPad version

Using the bigger screen in the kitchen helps

Update broke the search function

It seems the update made my search stop working? As well, the ‘view all’ button shows nothing. Is it possible to revert to a previous version?
