GREAT for people with allergies.. Half the stuff I have no idea what it is though :/ ### 4/5 — More options then found on google searches!! *2015-03-03, version 4.3* I use this often for many different reasons: allergy substitutions, missing ingredients, likes/dislikes. Very big help! ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2014-12-02, version 4.3* The app is glitchy. You can use the search and then it flips out and you have to research again. Deleted ### 4/5 — So useful! *2014-07-08, version 4.2* I don't know how many times I've gone to start a recipe and realized I didn't have a certain ingredient. The only change I would like to see is a measurement comparison between the ingredient called for and the substitution. It's not always a 1:1 ratio. ### 3/5 — Very Useful NEEDS a larger font *2014-04-16, version 4.1* Letters are small. Hard to read measurements. ### 1/5 — Must be invisible.... *2013-11-20, version 4.0* Opens to a black screen! Want my money back please. ### 1/5 — Is it invisible? *2013-11-18, version 4.0* Will not open on my iPod. Black screen. What a waste. Do not waste your money. ### 4/5 — Sweet *2013-11-17, version 4.0* No idea how this one escaped my attention for so long. If you cook, and there are a few of us who still do this, then you need this app. ### 5/5 — Nice *2013-11-16, version 4.0* This is another handy cooking app to have. Bought the Conversion app as both are very helpful to have when cooking. Thanks to the developer. ### 4/5 — Really good but.... *2013-08-01, version 3.00* This is a great app but it should have more substitutions that are hard to get not easy ones. Like there is a substitution for onions and the sub is shallots and other things. I think it is way harder to find that than the onion it self. Onions and flour are easy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App won’t launch *2020-02-24, version 6.5* Used to love this app now it won’t even launch - tries then crashes. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-04-23, version 6.4* Crashes when I open. When I re-open it, it allows me to browse around for about a minute before it crashes again. Developer needs to fix, it’s unusable. ### 1/5 — Does not run *2019-04-19, version 6.4* Too bad m, crashes on launch, really unstable, does not work .... developer needs to fix it ### 1/5 — Click on icon and nothing happens *2019-01-01, version 6.4* Doesn’t work now :( ### 1/5 — App closes *2018-10-22, version 6.1* This app was useful now it won’t open and closes all the time. ### 1/5 — What the hell happening to your app??? *2018-09-18, version 6.1* I did use this in the past. I did update the app today 9-17-2018. I tapped on the icon and nothing happened it goes back to the main screen. I’m not going to keep something that fails!!!!! Fix this issue you have one week to get the app working, or I’m DELETING THIS APP and going to get an app that works!! I did paid for this app. Fix this and make it work and you might get 5 stars. ### 1/5 — goofy *2014-12-29, version 4.3* This app is useless, what are all the lists for? ### 1/5 — WASTE OF MONEY: DONT BUY *2014-07-07, version 4.2* This app is worthless. Very limited and going to get my money back. ### 1/5 — Substitutions *2014-01-28, version 4.1* Absolute rubbish, waste of 69p don't bother with it ### 1/5 — invisible???? *2013-11-20, version 4.0* opened to a black screen. don't waste money. so mad, I want my money back!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So Useful! *2016-12-11, version 5.5* I've found this app very useful & have used it many times. It's great for those times you run out of ingredients, or when looking for a healthier alternative. Great job developers! ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-07-10, version 5.2* Love this app. Use it all the time. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-08-17, version 4.3* Almost always has whatever I'm looking for and then some ### 5/5 — There's No Replacement for Substitutions *2014-10-19, version 4.2* This is such a clean and helpful app. I like the Cheese substitutions and the Utensils section is clever and unexpected. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-09-23, version 4.2* I love this app. I saw it on "The Kitchen". I use it quite a bit. ### 5/5 — Excellent!! So happy! *2014-05-17, version 4.1* I am incredibly satisfied with this app. I have a wonderful husband that I love to cook for, but he is unfortunately allergic to everything that's delicious. From eggs to peanuts, seafood and all things dairy, I was having some difficultly following recipes with all the substitutions I have to make. This app provides a pretty clean list of ideas on what to do depending on whether you're baking, searing, frying, you name it. Happy to have downloaded it, no doubt. :) ### 5/5 — Substations *2014-01-11, version 4.1* The substitutions app works well and is easy to use. ### 5/5 — This Is Why I Have An IPhone *2013-12-12, version 4.1* I can't possible keep all this information in my feeble brain. This quick, go-to reference helps me so often especially in a family where people have allergic reactions to certain foods. Great reference. Thank you. :D ### 5/5 — Developer Note: *2013-11-21, version 4.0* Black Screen issue fixed in version 4.1. iPod touch specific issue. Please upgrade. We apologize for any inconvenience. ### 5/5 — Extremely Helpful *2013-11-18, version 4.0* This is a wonderfully convenient tool. No longer do I have to search the internet for substitutes for white or red wine. If I need a garlic clove and do not have one, a tIme consuming search through all my cookbooks is no longer necessary. There is even a substitute for soy sauce on this app. I am very pleased and cannot wait to run out of something to try this out! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
