Would be 5⭐️ if there are available widgets or a sort of home / dashboard that just tells you what meal plan or prep you have for the day!☺️ ### 4/5 — The truest free cookbook app *2026-02-20, version 1.30.3* This is truly the only “free” app for your cookbook and recipes organizing needs. I love that I can either save my recipes from a different site or just write them myself. It does need a bit more development work, such as expanding the app to fit the entire screen for my iPad but other than that I think this is the best app. ### 4/5 — Love that it’s free to use!! *2025-12-25, version 1.27.2* So helpful. The only app that’s truly free in this space and I really appreciate it. There are a couple things that other apps have that I wish I could have here like changing photos on published recipes or editing more easily if the creator didn’t put the recipe in the caption of the post. Etc ### 4/5 — Found a bug *2025-12-13, version 1.27.2* Hi, love the app but it’s not allowing me to see what i’m writing on the “Instructions” section (specifically step 4 and on). There’s not enough scrolling space. It’s also a bit slow to update/delete collections… but maybe that’s just me. ### 4/5 — Good but has some quirks *2025-08-09, version 1.27.2* I like that I share Instagram recipes to the app. However, after the first 3 shared re was a long hesitation and the next 3 recipes did not show up. After closing and re-opening the app, they did show. One of the Instagram recipes I added did not have written ingredients. The ingredients were in the video. It would be nice to be able to add the ingredients to the written recipe instructions. Also, please add landscape mode for the iPad. ### 3/5 — iPad usage *2025-03-24, version 1.24.3* Love the app but it’s not very iPad friendly . ### 3/5 — Not there yet *2025-03-18, version 1.24.3* Even using the app link I was not able to add my wife as a friend and had to search for her. Also the support makes you download mail it doesn’t work with your current mail app. Reminds me of an app that released before it was ready and doesn’t listen to feedback ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2024-11-12, version 1.22.3* Extremely helpful for planning the week’s meals. Never a stale recipe. ### 5/5 — So delishhh *2024-11-02, version 1.22.1* Yum yum yum all is so good and yummy please keep it up! Loving the enthusiasm thumbs up ### 5/5 — Spillt *2024-10-22, version 1.22.1* I love this app! I can save any recipe from anywhere: Instagram, Facebook, website... And the most important is a FREE APP! There is no any payment required like in other similar apps. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Just missing a few features! *2024-10-01, version 1.21.1* This app would be near perfect if only they added an option to sort by tags in addition to collections. This is especially important to me since I cook seasonally. Instead of having to add one recipe to multiple relevant collections, I would love to be able to filter recipes from one collection by “fall - pasta - one pot” or something like that. Also, I think it’s necessary to be able to manually input some recipes added from links online for sites whose format is difficult to parse. It has been impossible for me to import recipes from some sites. Other than that I love the app! ### 3/5 — Love Spillt! Has a few drawbacks *2024-09-07* I love Spillt. I’m really happy they added web support, but I wish there were also a browser extension for quickly adding recipes. In addition to the collections, I wish there were a way to add tags so that you could filter by multiple tags, or apply multiple categories to a recipe without needing to save it to different collections. For example, I might want to have a “pasta” recipe that I can also save as “spring”, “summer” and “easy”. It would be preferable to me to be able to categorize and filter using multiple tags instead of adding it to four separate collections. Last, I think it’s a drawback that you cannot save instructions when you save from a website. Maybe this was done to preserve web traffic for content creators or maybe it’s too hard to parse a whole page, both of which I completely understand. But because I’m concerned about link rot, I don’t think the app will ever be able to fully replace an actual recipe box or a folder on my computer, which is a little disappointing. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the feedback! We are actually working on a desktop version as we speak, so you should hopefully see that available in the next month or so. We would've loved to launch web sooner, but it's still just two of us running Spillt so we've had to be selective about the new features we prioritize :) Regardless, thank you for the review and let us know if you have any other ideas for making Spillt better! ### 5/5 — Favorite App *2024-08-21, version 1.20.3* They have thought of everything you could ever want out of a recipe, meal plan, shopping list app. When I had an issue I reached out and it was fixed immediately. Cannot recommend enough! ### 5/5 — Meal Planning Made Simple *2024-08-13, version 1.20.1* It’s free!!! My family switched from hello fresh back to grocery shopping and this has helped make it just as easy to pick and prepare for meals. We can both look through/add to our collections and then add to the meal plan. Recipes can be copy and pasted from just about any website, even TikTok. Ingredients can all be added right from the recipe to your grocery list. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2024-07-18, version 1.20.0* It seems they have suddenly increased the ads and they appear right in the middle of the recipes. You can’t seem to close many of them out so the app is becoming useless. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So many ads on the websites *2025-04-02, version 1.24.3* So many ads on the website make the app glitchy. Terrible. I deleted it after a few recipes. So sad. What a waste of an app. ### 1/5 — Ads Galore *2025-03-30, version 1.24.3* The app would be great if it wasn’t riddled with distracting and obfuscating ads. It’s like a Picasso painting of ads everywhere. Very tough to even enjoy recipes or follow what is going on in a recipe. ### 1/5 — Bad Start *2023-07-15, version 1.10.2* You want my phone number before I’ve had a chance to even check it out. Too intrusive! Deleted… ### 1/5 — Looks great but can’t upload from the internet *2023-05-26, version 1.9.1* Just downloaded the app and tried to upload my first internet link. But it just hangs until I close down the app. Very frustrating. Have emailed support. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2023-02-10, version 1.5.0* App hard to use, was not able to get past all the bugs. Much better options out there, don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Can’t upload a new recipe *2023-02-03, version 1.4.0* The icon just spins, I give up ### 1/5 — No Method For Signup without Phone Number *2023-01-17, version 1.3.3* At this day and age, any app developer should be aware that a phone number is, in some respects, more valuable than a social security number. Expecting users to fork over sensitive data without building any trust is outlandish and suspect at best. Apple and other OS platforms have provided methods for implementing secure account creation that also allow for anonymous account creation to obfuscate user data from collection methods. This has been in place for years, so there’s little reason for it to not be baked in to this app. Maybe there was no malicious intent, but after a certain point, the lack of implementation suggests use of dark pattern development. ### 2/5 — Super buggy *2026-05-31, version 1.30.3* Great app, has so much potential. I love the community aspect and ability to browse popular recipes. BUT it is incredibly buggy, keeps quitting when I open it. Other times I cannot update recipes after saving them. Changes aren’t saved when I want to add certain recipes to multiple collections. These basic features need to be fixed in order for the app to be functional and useful. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2026-04-16, version 1.30.3* Multiple crashes with the app. I can’t even open it currently without it crashing. I really like the app itself, but if I can’t use it and it constantly crashes, it’s of no use to me. When the frequent crashes are fixed, I will change my review. ### 2/5 — Frustrating app *2025-08-17, version 1.27.2* The screen is so cluttered with ads you can’t find the buttons to navigate, let alone find the recipe itself. Which is sad because there looked to be some good recipes in it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2025-12-28, version 1.27.2* Absolutely love this app! So many small features that makes it perfect!! -following feature without seeing “follower counts” -like/comment feature without seeing “like/comment counts” (helps people who struggle with comparison) -surprise feature: allows you to find new recipes, that you otherwise probably wouldn’t have tried! -Meal planning with calendar: helps stay organized and know exactly what your cooking when! -Categories: makes organizing meals way easier, especially when going on frequent fast, diets, or planning events. -Groceries feature: when importing from the planner it allows you to deselect ingredients you already have before add the entire list to your grocery list. ### 5/5 — Type A hobbies *2025-08-11, version 1.27.2* I have recently moved out to my first flat, and instead of getting overwhelmed by suddenly needing to sort all breakfast, lunch & dinner recipes everyday- I saw an AD for this… fast forward to today and I now have all my everyday, special & favourite recipes saved. However, the best part is I can add all the ingredients automatically by one click, and create a whole weeks food shop by either walking around the store and crossing them off, or do an online shop without thinking about what I need, at all. Love love and love, thank you!! ### 5/5 — so helpful!! *2025-07-14, version 1.27.1* love using this to discover new recipes and plan out recipes for the week - wish i could connect my NYT account to see the logged in recipes easier but honestly not even a big barrier for me to continue to use it every month!! ### 5/5 — Best Meal App! *2025-06-09, version 1.26.1* My #1 app for cooking and recipes. I used to have the recipes across PDFs on the computer, chrome bookmarks, and texts. Spillt lets me keep it in a single place. The ability to use this to make a shopping list with different recipes is amazing. ### 5/5 — Love! *2025-04-14, version 1.25.0* I am such a fan of this app! I love how it keeps all my digital recipes in the same place. The social aspect is fun as well. There is no better app for meal planning and making cooking fun. In the future, I would love to see a scraped version of the instructions (similar to the grocery list) for easier page navigation and a way to save tiktok videos without it just saving a link (in case tiktok goes away!). ### 5/5 — This is a lovely app. *2025-03-29, version 1.24.3* I don’t have a lot to say, but if anyone wants recipes that are good for you ### 5/5 — Finally a place to bring all my recipes together *2025-03-25, version 1.24.3* I downloaded this app over a year ago and I love it! I have endless links saved for recipes across apps (Pinterest, IG, TikTok), physical cook books, and random slips of paper. Spillt lets me save it all in one place with my own notes for the recipes. One of my favorite new apps! ### 5/5 — Lovely recipe keeper *2025-01-17, version 1.23.5* I used to have tabs and bookmarks full of recipes I liked or wanted to try but now I can keep them all handy with this app <3 and I love that it's social, sometimes I scroll through and see what other people are making for meal ideas (I dread being asked what's for dinner). The only issue I've faced is when I do that sometimes the app breaks and only shows me the same two recipes. Otherwise I looove Spillt and could spend hours on it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-12-18, version 1.23.1* I love that this app is free! I save most of my instagram recipe reels on this app. It’s perfect. I wish there was a way to make a favourites list. So you are able to go back and view your favourite recipes rather than searching each time. There is a recently viewed option. But I loose the recipes when I view other recipes. Overall great app for a free app! ### 5/5 — Really enjoying *2024-11-24, version 1.22.3* Really enjoying this app. I’ve started by saving some old recipes and started ti find some good new ones. Still learning my way around it. I wish it were easier to filter for only vegetarian recipes --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
