It is slow to load, the search option will only work once you’ve chosen a recipe category and even then it’s hit and miss. If you can get the recipes open, you’re doing well. Consider a website over this app. It really does need an overhaul to make it more user friendly. ### 3/5 — Great potential but.. *2022-12-26, version 1.4.3* I liked the online version so thought that I’d lash out and get the app. Should have read the reviews first. The app is very crude, and despite being paid for still has a LOT of advertising. I couldnt find how to return to the recipes. As mentioned in many other reviews, the absence of search and no favourites is a pity. Having paid for it, I’ll keep the app and hope the designer reads the reviews. For myself, I would really like to see a landscape version for the iPad. I assumed, wrongly, that a paid app would offer that. Not happy! ### 3/5 — Search engine issues *2021-10-07, version 1.4.3* Good app but issues with the search bar. When you open recipes tab and try using the search engine it will not work, you need to open a recipe category first and THEN it allows you to use the search engine. If you could use the search tool without coding a category it would be so much better! ### 3/5 — Great recipes *2021-01-21, version 1.4.2* Have had this app for a few years now, but keep forgetting to use it as its not that user friendly. What i mean is, theres a search bar but it never can find what ive asked to search for. There is no option to save favorite recipes so i can go back & look at them - so when in supermarket i need to search through all the recipes to find the one im after to see which ingredients i need (why i dont do this at home, i see what meats are on special at the supermarket & go from there) Just a couple of updates needed to get this app going real good! ### 2/5 — Slow *2020-07-10, version 1.4.1* App is so unbelievably slow. It’s quicker to go onto the website or Facebook and search. Not worth it for me sorry ### 2/5 — Average *2019-09-21, version 1.4* Disappointing app. The app itself does not offer a save favourites option and the app doesn’t have a search all categories option. You need to know which category to search. I wouldn’t recommend purchasing the app. I’d just suggest going directly to the website. ### 2/5 — Von wegen Deutsch *2018-12-16* Laut Information soll die App auch in deutscher Sprache funktionieren, das gilt aber leider nur für die Anmeldung zum Newsletter! Die Rezepte sind ALLE IN ENGLISCH!!! Das nenne ich Betrug! Und dann auch noch Geld dafür verlangen! ### 5/5 — Great for easy and cheap meals *2018-12-08, version 1.4* It’s so great for families, I’m so glad I found this ### 5/5 — Fantastic, simple, easy to use *2018-11-23, version 1.4* This app is what I have been searching for. Wow. Googling slow cooker recipes you have to filter through so much to try and find something you want. This app has it all broken down into categories with very simple easy to follow instructions. Time saving when searching recipes and so much variety. I am extremely happy with this app. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2018-06-08, version 1.4* Lots of great recipes but can’t save them and it won’t let me log into my website account. Tried using the website but everytime I navigate to a new page it logs me back out. Both the app and website need some changes to be more user friendly. ### 4/5 — Great app! *2018-06-03, version 1.4* Love it, would be great to incorporate a favourites button!! ### 3/5 — save *2017-11-04, version 1.3* i like the app but it need a favourite or save tab cause i see one i like then can't remember which one it was ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work do not buy *2024-04-24, version 1.4.7* This app is extremely broken. I am highly disappointed I didn’t read the reviews. The website is so good but in trying to use the app to find recipes, it returns no data found. Highly disappointed that I paid for something that doesn’t work ### 1/5 — App wont work, never has *2024-03-19, version 1.4.7* This app has always been slow and glitchy but since it’s last update I cannot login, refuses to acknowledge I’ve ever paid for it. Going to be asking apple for a refund. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-11-05, version 1.4.7* I must say I am very disappointed with this app now, it used to be my favourite but no longer. I had many favourite recipes saved and the app was user friendly, now I just get frustrated trying to navigate it. ### 1/5 — Pointless app *2020-11-11, version 1.4.1* I too should have read the reviews before purchasing the app, but I’ve loved the website and was excited to see they had an app. Whilst it looks beautiful on my iPad, the search function does not work at all, rendering the app mostly useless. Also, no built-in save feature, so you may as well just bookmark the website to your home screen and use that for free. This app is a bit of a rort really. Don’t bother with it. ### 1/5 — Pointless App *2020-08-09, version 1.4.1* Really wish i’d read the reviews first. The app does not allow you to save a favourites list etc to refer to at later date without sending you over to the web page and signing in which makes the app pointless really, even then the website wouldn’t acknowledge my password and when trying to reset password no email was sent to do so. Waste of money, do not purchase the app with intention of creating favourites list etc ### 1/5 — Hot garbage fire. *2020-07-09, version 1.4.1* This app is nothing but garbage. Since I downloaded it 2 years ago I’ve regretted it. It’s not once proved worth it, the search function doesn’t work, it freezes all the time and now nothing will even load. Don’t waste your money, just use the website. ### 1/5 — Poor behaviour by owner of app *2020-05-29, version 1.4.1* I do not recommend buying this app or joining this group on Facebook, admin are nothing but bullies. My wife a hard working nurse and a mother of a special needs child got blocked from this page just for sharing a picture of a slow cooker, she didn’t mean any harm and has apologised but no one will communicate with her, I find the silent treatment very childish. And then I joined the page and messaged admin for some answers and I have been blocked when I haven’t done anything wrong. I guess this is how you thank your frontline workers. ### 1/5 — App needs improvement *2017-09-03, version 1.2* To save recipes you need to log-in to the website. If I knew I couldn't save recipes from the app I would have saved my money and just gotten recipes for free from the website. The "Search" option doesn't work. In order to find a particular chicken recipe I have to scroll through hundreds of chicken recipes to find the one I want. I haven't found the recipe as yet :( ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-05-24, version 1.2* I just bought the app and it won't download. Every time I try, it says you have already purchased and won't be charged. But it's no where 😡 ### 2/5 — Was good until update *2023-08-01, version 1.4.4* Was a great app until recent update. Now it’s full of ads by google and can’t get rid of them. Won’t take to website and can’t close ads Not even an ads free version. Asks for money after you have brought the app. Many more problems than the original ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Slow cooker fan *2026-08-21, version 1.5.0* The new version of the app is GREAT! Saving favourites is so easy now and this new version loads super fast! ### 5/5 — Slow cooker central app *2026-08-21, version 1.5.0* Just got this a couple of weeks ago and the old issues from the older reviews have been fixed. It’s much better now and I use it daily. ### 5/5 — Regular user *2026-08-17, version 1.5.0* I love slow cooker central app. I use it every week. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-17, version 1.5.0* Great app. Easy to use and easy to search what you looking for. Split into handy sections as well ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2026-08-17, version 1.5.0* Great app, much easier to see the recipes/ingredients required while at the shops ### 5/5 — Tolle Rezepte *2024-09-29* Ja, man sollte Englisch können oder mit einem Übersetzer arbeiten. Ich kenne viele Rezepte von Facebook und finde die App absolut ihren Preis wert. ### 5/5 — Ad free! *2023-01-23, version 1.4.3* Despite incorrect reviews the app is ad free and you CAN save favourites :) ### 5/5 — Absolutely loving this app *2020-11-05, version 1.4.1* So easy to use and so many recipes to choose from Absolutely love this App it’s a WINNER ### 5/5 — Recipes *2019-04-28, version 1.4* This app is fantastic. So much information and recipes at your fingertips. Has turned me into a slow cooker chef. ### 5/5 — Really easy to use *2019-04-06, version 1.4* Love the app really easy to use , and heaps and heaps of recipes ... it’s great on its own .. they also have website and fb group .. which I love ..
