I‘m excited to begin cooking more with the spoonacular recipes👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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 — 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? ### 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. ### 2/5 — Can’t add recipe, screen turns white and I cant do anything *2019-09-06, version 1.0.41* Title ### 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Easy to use!!! *2019-03-06* This app is very easy to use , you can store recipes you found online by just copying and pasting the link. I do like the feature of being able to search recipe quickly from the app as well. Its like pinterest for recipes! And there is food planner you can add what you wanna eat! ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Amazing recipe extractor! *2019-04-03* I was not expecting much from their clipping extension on the app, well at least not how in depth it extracts the recipe from websites. It was amazing! I looked up a Chile quiles and basic burger recipe, and it extracted all of the information I needed to know for the recipe, as well as additional information and tips I didn’t think I needed until the app suggested it! Great app! ### 5/5 — Useful APP *2019-03-18* I am a college student and this app does an amazing job extracting the key components to ingredients and recipes. Useful if you don't want to go through all the background stories in food blogs and find personalized recipes. Will recommend. ### 5/5 — Perfect app for novice cook and help to manage diet *2019-02-14* Very useful especially for novice cook and ingredients related detailed information with quantity is there for all the recipes and through this I can cook nowadays many different kind of food with delicious taste. Meal planner seems is very useful for me as I can track my own diet from the same place. ### 5/5 — This app is amazing *2019-02-02* I'm a developer myself and also very interested in any app that makes nutrition tracking easy. I tested out the clipping function of this app and it worked amazingly. This app seems to have everything from meal planning to nutrition tracking to the recipes themselves. Great job Spoonacular team! ### 5/5 — Must have app *2019-01-24* Great app to organize and save your favorite online recipes all in one place in an easy to use format. I cook a lot and I will definitely be recommending this app to my friends who also enjoy using recipes. ### 5/5 — Spoonacular Review, surprisingly great!! *2019-01-13* The app looks great, many features, though adding a recipe is sooo easy by just inserting a url of a food blog you like. It then just extracts all the info away and there you can carry that recipe with you rather than bookmarking it. The settings allow you select diet and allergies to avoid when searching for food. Definitely a food companion! ### 5/5 — Just wow *2019-01-12* I don’t normally leave reviews, but I couldn’t help myself. The people at spoonacular are doing something amazing with this app and their database. Let me give some preface. I am a type one diabetic and over the years I have found many recipes that agree with my blood sugar. I’ve tried many apps, but none of them contain every recipe I like, or all the nutritional information. This app allows you to input a URL for the website containing a recipe that you like. The site will automatically break that recipe down and store it in the app for you in an easy to read and easy to locate manner. The app also provide accurate nutritional information based off the ingredients. Any recipe you like can be easily stored in one place. Just awesome. And that’s just one of the features of this app. I recommend this to anyone who eats food! ### 5/5 — Super Easy *2018-12-29* This app is super easy to navigate and user friendly! I like the box option to help save recipes and can’t wait to try them out. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
