### 5/5 — A lot of allergies & I tell others about this app!

*2025-08-07*

I have a lot of allergies. I also believe in sharing resources! Consequently, I tell everyone who tells me that they have allergies about this app!
Keep up the good work!

### 1/5 — Missing too many ingredients

*2025-05-13*

I’ve tried to search many substitutions, but more often than not, I can’t even get the main ingredient I’m searching for to substitute to even come up… Their data base needs to be greatly improved upon - I haven’t tried searching for ANYTHING out of the ordinary but have only been able to find 2 answers on more than 10 tries of different ingredients since downloading the app - as I’m writing this review I’m questioning why I am allowing it to take up space on my phone it is THAT bad…

### 4/5 — No food/spice substitutes for garlic allergy

*2023-12-26*

I have 11 food allergies and I was hoping to find substitutes I could swap for all of my allergies/intolerances in recipes, but it is hit and miss on this app. Perhaps, as more people use this app, the substitution list will grow. And the app software worked fine for me.

### 1/5 — Don’t cater for gluten free diet

*2021-07-03, version 1.3.5*

Misleading description! The is no gluten free diet option in the settings to determine what type of diet you want. Useless app despite the heading which says diets and allergies. Sorry, no use to me. 
I’m not prepared to check up every ingredient option in order to find a GF one where the app should enlist the gluten free products GF or me.

### 4/5 — Qualifiers

*2020-09-20, version 1.2.6*

I’d just like to point out that fish is not a vegetable therefore a vegetarian would not use it.

### 5/5 — No recipes

*2019-10-05*

I got confused at first I thought this was keto recipes app, but be advised, there are only ingredients to substitute in this app. So if you have a recipe you like, you add ingredients in the app and it shows keto/vegan substitutes for them

I’m still giving 5 stars because the app works fine

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2019-09-05, version 1.0.6*

Only 1 recipe for gluten free:(
