Uninstalling. ### 3/5 — Meal plans need work *2024-09-07, version 7.2.1* I like the meal plans but PLEASE have someone proofread them. There are so many inconsistencies between the ingredients list and recipes, the recipes/ingredients are vague so not helpful for someone new to cooking, and there are all sorts of other issues I’ve seen in just a couple weeks ### 2/5 — No recipes *2024-02-03, version 7.1* I subscribed for a membership for the recipes. This app only give you access to the shows. In this day and age I shouldn’t have to go to a website for the recipes. I do not like that they are not accessible from the app. ### 3/5 — decent *2023-08-25, version 7.0* seems okay but not too much in the actual app but it works for the most part ### 2/5 — Doesn't log in on Apple TV *2023-08-08, version 7.0* Unfortunately this doesn't log in on the Apple TV no matter how many times their QR code is attempted. Not a great experience. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-02-24, version 6.3* I love the programming which I saw in my doctor’s office. It inspired me to purchase this app. Worse purchase ever. Why??? Doesn’t work. Can’t upload A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G. So far, I haven’t been able to resolve the issue and I am hoping that I won’t be out of $19.95. Not cool, folks. ### 1/5 — No way to access recipes on app *2023-01-22, version 6.3* I’m disappointed that there’s no way to access or save the actual recipes that you see on their recipe shows on the app. There should be a place for that. ### 1/5 — Nothing like ChefsFeed *2022-05-07, version 5.9.2* When I went to find ChefsFeed to reload onto my phone, this is what came up. When I tried to go to the website for ChefsFeed, it redirected me to the Tastemade website. ChefsFeed would give restaurant recommendations from chefs. This app seems to just be a hub for various shows about cooking, travel, and design. The layout seems a bit confusing so I’m not sure. If this is supposed to be a replacement for ChefsFeed it is subpar to say the least. ### 1/5 — Could not cancel my subscription *2022-01-26, version 5.9.2* I was unable to access my account on the app to cancel my subscription, so I emailed Tastemade twice to have my subscription canceled. They did not respond either time and I was charged again. I’m disputing the charge. ### 1/5 — Too many restrictions *2021-07-29, version 5.9.2* Delete… ### 1/5 — DO NOT PAY FOR THIS APP!!! *2021-06-16, version 5.9.1* DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!! You get NOTHING!!! If you HAPPEN to find the recipe you’re looking for…there is NO RECIPE!!! NOTHING!!! Worth less than what you get from Google!!! ZERO STARS!! HORRIBLE! WORTHLESS!!!! ### 3/5 — PERSONALIZATION!!? *2021-05-29, version 5.9.1* Come on, I am paying a small fortune for this subscription, I can save series but not episodes, real annoying. There is nothing special about this app right now, besides it being bloated with no user experience for the users. Definitely won’t renew if this doesn’t change, I will just go online or YouTube to get this info for free. This app doesn’t even show the recipes, I have to go to the website for that info and that is free, explain this to me please?? ### 1/5 — Doing it for the money *2021-05-20, version 5.9.1* I hate when apps stop creating content for genuine users and move their focus to making money. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Only one star because is not telling me how much is the subscription *2021-04-30, version 5.9.1* Is it one time payment, monthly payment? How can you neglect that important point? ### 1/5 — The worst. *2021-03-23, version 5.9.1* Great content I can’t access. The app constantly thinks I don’t have a subscription although I do. And no support will get back to me. Hello? Support? Are you out there?? ### 1/5 — Worst update! *2021-01-27, version 5.9.1* I loved the old app, now the update has ruined how easy the recipes would be to find. Now i use tasty because i do not like this one at all ### 2/5 — Wow so confusing *2021-01-09, version 5.9.1* Why isn’t there a menu item for recipes? The redesign is 🤮 Also want to watch video in portrait mode. Hate apps that reduce my options.. 👎 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App subscription doesn’t appear to work *2026-01-02, version 7.3.11* I have a subscription, but every show I try to watch (while properly logged in) just results in a “page not found” error. ### 1/5 — Worst company thieves BEWARE *2025-09-09, version 7.3.2* Very poor customer service that randomly signs you up for a subscription. Total trash and needs to be put out of business. Stole $50 from me and won’t refund my money says I’m stuck for a year of their trash. I will be writing a review everyday until this is over in July 2026. I did not sign up as I only run subscriptions through Apple TV. These people had to steal my bank card information to forge this subscription. ### 1/5 — Customer service fail *2025-03-21, version 7.3.2* I like to cook and liked the concept and signed up through a third party but didn’t find anything I liked. It was a hassle canceling after my free subscription and the customer service rep was rude and unhelpful. ### 1/5 — Terrible Customer Service *2025-03-14, version 7.3.2* I don’t recommend signing up for this service. ### 1/5 — Support are you sleeping *2024-11-17, version 7.3.1* Like the app the support seems to be dull, no response after 2 weeks of continuous email, even you call they will redirect to say email will be faster, this is one of the worst app and support I have ever seen in my life, can’t give 0 or - stars, otherwise it would be the case ### 1/5 — No linkage to recipes *2024-10-20, version 7.3.1* Well the recipes are on one site and the videos are on this app. No integration. 1 star review - this shows no technical expertise ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-10-29, version 7.0* I find it absurd that the Tastemade iOS app has no reference/link to how to get to recipes. Nothing about Tastemade+, nothing in the account area to indicate subscription level. It’s pretty terrible. I signed up for a subscription thinking recipe links will automagically show up in the app, but nope! So now I’m just irritated and so I cancel the sub, before stumbling on the fact that I can find the recipes in the web app—only? Well that makes sense. NOT. And honestly, ok, if you don’t want to pay Apple for the whole InApp purchase thing…just don’t have an app. Crippled and approaching useless for someone who wants to do more than watch someone else cook. ### 1/5 — Won’t let me sign in *2023-05-26, version 6.3* I love the shows but I can’t ever watch them on the go because It never lets me sign in ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-05-08, version 6.3* Support isn’t able to help after several contacts. ### 1/5 — I’m a paid subscriber and can’t login on my iPhone! *2023-04-07, version 6.3* I paid for Tastemade+ (after already shelling out for what is now referred to on their site as “Tastemade Legacy”—slick move, guys). I was able to use the app on my iPad and laptop, but the app won’t let me sign in on my iPhone—it keeps looping back to the “sign in via Google or sign in with email” page. It was the same nightmare with the Legacy subscription. Unbelievable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the update! *2025-02-24, version 7.3.2* This app has been my go-to for watching Struggle Meals and a bunch of other shows. I’m logged in so I can ‘favorite’ shows and pick up from where I left off. It’s clear that they’ve been pushing a bunch of updates to the app and I’ve been loving it. Also the content is amazing so that helps quite a bit. ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-06-30, version 7.0* I can now watch more Frankie and Struggle meals. ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Freddie New Kitchen *2022-01-31, version 5.9.2* Help! Unfortunately l tuned into Freddie’s show on 3/28/22 around 3am and was totally shocked to find Freddie in a large brick kitchen and a really changed personality. No personality, no fun antics, no smiles, strictly business, as if he was being redirected. It was a dramatic change to see him that way and l hope the fun Freddie never shows up like that again. Help! ### 5/5 — Discover Beautiful TV With Tastemade *2020-11-08, version 5.801.1* The Tastemade app delivers beautiful TV to watch. The broad array of creative ventures are unique to Tastemade. There is a strong effort to mirror all aspects of society which I appreciate. Local Flight & Beyond the Block are favorites . Tastemade has plenty of ideas to explore. ### 5/5 — Joy of cooking *2020-05-08, version 5.610.1* Great program, omnidirectional focus really showcases versatility of food and nature ### 5/5 — Refreshing Television! *2020-01-07, version 5.200* I love the Tastemade App. There is so much free content available once I got a feel for it I decided to subscribe and the low cost is absolutely worth keeping it on my Apple TV 24/7! No commercials!!!!!! ### 5/5 — No recipes measurements *2020-01-05, version 5.200* How do I find out how much of each ingredient for each recipes. All I see are videos of how they cook. What are the measurements You need to use. AKA 1/2 cup flour. How many once of milk etc. Please help. ### 5/5 — Independent television *2019-11-02, version 5.200* I really like the diversity, creativity, and world view I find at Tastemade. Roy Chows series on the future of food and raising awareness, Frankie showing you can eat great on a budget both make this a great 20 dollar investment. ### 5/5 — I like it *2019-09-08, version 4.951* I was looking for healthy foods to cook and cool videos that get straight to the point and Tastemade did not disappoint. I signed up so that I can watch shows in my behavioral health clinic in the Woodridge area of Washington, D.C. ### 5/5 — Amazing videos! *2019-07-13, version 4.920* Broken bread made me happy and heart broken at the same time. There is so much we don’t know about in our own communities and to see an agency at its peak and then lost speaks to ignorance. Surely if enough people understood the mission some of these agencies would surely still be open. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
