## What is Tangelo?

Tangelo makes it easy to access affordable food prescriptions tailored to improve your health. As soon as you’re approved, we activate your food prescription and you can choose from healthy foods prescribed just for you!

GET PRESCRIBED HEALTHY FOOD

Our prescription process is simple and only takes a few minutes! Answer a few questions about how you eat today, and we measure the nutrient gaps in your diet that impact your health conditions. Then we write a food prescription for the foods you should be eating less of and more of to improve your health!

GET PRESCRIBED FOOD PAID FOR

We work with your health plan to get the cost of your personalized food prescription covered! More and more health plans across the country are covering the cost of prescribed healthy foods for their members. If your health plan doesn’t offer coverage, we offer a self-pay option using a nutrition incentive! And we accept SNAP-EBT!

GET PRESCRIBED FOOD DELIVERED

Once we confirm your coverage, your prescribed food is delivered directly to your doorstep! Every dish you receive is approved for your chronic health conditions by clinical nutrition experts, and we work with you to learn what dishes you like and don’t like to constantly improve the meals you can choose from each week!

MEASURE PROGRESS AND GET REPRESCRIBED

As you enjoy your prescribed foods week-after-week, we’ll check-in to measure your progress and understand how your diet quality is improving. As you keep going, you’ll get represcribed and we’ll help extend your coverage and connect you with additional benefits.

### 1/5 — Food

*2026-04-20*

While the app allows for edits and skipped available based on what was prescribed for every individual, it never lets for you. My fridge is stacked with veggies on the verge of going bad, rice, canned beans, oinions, potatoes because that's all they have been sending. Too much to keep up with. You can’t get in touch with support by phone thru never answer and when you leave message they don’t respond back to you. Horrible experience.

### 2/5 — Can’t get past assessment reading 10

*2026-03-18, version 2.6.8*

I passed the assessment. It keeps going back to the same question over and over.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-02-04, version 2.6.8*

App stays on loading and it don’t work so don’t waste your time downloading it like it did to me .smh

### 1/5 — Can not login or create an account

*2026-01-28, version 2.6.7*

The app does not go further than asking for your phone number. When hitting “done” nothing further occurs.

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Open

*2025-10-20, version 2.6.3*

I would’ve liked to have tried it but I can’t seem to get into the app. I can’t report an issue to the developer. Is this app even real??

### 1/5 — Terrible! Food arrives damaged and hours and days later!  warm and have to toss

*2025-08-23*

I have had four orders.   The first one I didn’t even know arrived. They never told me, and for some reason I saw it sitting outside my door at midnight, I  tossed it in the trash.  The second order came and I watched the girl walk it to the door and that one was fine. The third they delivered to the wrong house and three days later after it’s been sitting outside the man’s door the neighbor decides to bring it up to me. Tonight‘s package they claimed it was delivered this morning. It just now arrived to my house. The delivery driver drove up and put it out there. However, it is hot and damaged.  The containers are damaged,  open, warm and leaking, meaning it’s sat in somebody’s truck all day long. My service is now canceled. I want nothing to do with this company. They’re going to make somebody very sick if not, kill them with bad food. I feel bad for the Insurance company who are paying for this they need to cancel all subscriptions with this company.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-06-30, version 2.5.3*

Got this app via my employer and it says that my health plan isn’t accepted. Shame on my employer and tangelo for even making a contract that can’t be fulfilled.

### 5/5 — LOVIN’ IT😊‼️☘️🙏

*2025-01-18*

I am a disabled FIREFIGHTER/MEDIC, & TANGELOS seriously came of No Where‼️☘️ Their FRESH, obviously made right before, TWICE A DAY‼️🤙🕺🏻
… you know, a couple of years before that, I would get these TV Dinner lookin’ things, which is great btw when you have nothing!;) But the fact that these that these bowls of FRESH Real Foods, Twice/Day😊🙏☘️‼️🤙 the fact that you guys have Quinoa with your food is freakin’ Awesome‼️ Quinoa is soo good for the brain, stomach, gut, etc etc…  I feel VERY BLESSED to have TANGELOS‼️🤙😊 I LUV TANGELOS‼️🇮🇪☘️🙏

### 1/5 — horrible editing system

*2024-12-10*

While the app allows for edits available based on what was prescribed for every individual, it never actually edits them for you. The last 3 deliveries have been 100% inconsistent. I edit my orders to be chicken based meals, but right before the order gets confirmed, it reverts back to “veggie stir fry”. My fridge is stacked with veggies on the verge of going bad because that’s all they have been sending. Too much to keep up with. I’ve contacted support and they have offered some help, but never permanently corrected the issue. Horrible experience.

### 1/5 — Worst service—constant wrong orders

*2024-12-06, version 2.3.0*

This apps service has zero actual customer service and they continue to send me boxes of the wrong food that I haven’t ordered. Absolutely awful.
