### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-01-04, version 1.2.2*

I can’t get anything to open, I saved a recipe and it shows up, but I can’t add it to my meal plan.  It’s more of a hassle than a help.

### 1/5 — Abandoned app

*2024-04-01*

Looks like the developers abandoned this app after its last update 2 years ago. The formatting is all wrong for my iPhone 13 Pro Max, I had trouble adding recipes.  This was recommended by Mango Display for the meal planner, and now I can't use it.  Deleted the app within 15 minutes of attempting to use this.  Don't waste your time with this useless app!

### 3/5 — Not working fine

*2023-08-11*

I am trying to change the picture for the recipe i’m adding my self and doesn’t let me do it , and it doubles some ingredients.
If those things are fixed, It will be the perfect app I’m looking for.

### 2/5 — The idea is so great, but it wouldn’t let me create an app on apple devices :(

*2021-01-13*

Hoping someone has a fix?

### 1/5 — Couldn’t make an account

*2020-11-03*

After reading the reviews for this I was very excited to use this app but after downloading I couldn’t even make an account after several attempts. Disappointed

### 2/5 — Clunky with a promise of a great app design.

*2020-02-02*

Finding it very difficult to manoeuvre around.  I find adding my own recipes a chore more than they need to be. I am also seeing the ingredient I add changed as they don’t fit your coding requirement. Example: in australia beef mince isn’t beef sirloin, and lamb steaks are not sides of lamb. But the app loves changing these incorrectly. Also, the recipe list won’t filter foods that I keep as staples, therefore making a huge shopping list of things I already have.  Please show that you can improve on these types of issues, as I’d love to give you a higher rating.

### 3/5 — Love the concept but...

*2019-09-22*

I can’t add a recipe on the app. If this function worked the app would be 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Can’t add recipe, screen turns white and I cant do anything

*2019-09-06, version 1.0.41*

Title

### 5/5 — Clever Design, Easy to Use

*2019-05-13*

I like to go the extra mile at times and challenge myself by finding fancy meals to cook. And often, the more work the more rewarding the meal. With spoonacular, it makes everything so much easier. The app is extremely user friendly, with a convenient and simple design. I especially enjoy the extracting button they included, as it compressed all the details into an easy to read space. Definitely recommended.

### 5/5 — Impressed

*2019-05-04*

I was quite impressed with the capabilities of the web app and the iOS app.  The ability to extract content from your favorite recipe sites just works wonderfully.  I was able to test this with a few recipes should make it easier to find them at a later date.
