### 1/5 — Wait of time downloading

*2026-03-02*

Sucks! The selection is very limited. I selected all tags to see what ideas would come up, and the app only has 9 options.

### 1/5 — Don’t get this app!!

*2020-09-23*

I got this because I was so sick of everything I had been eating. It gives you 10 meals to start out with and that’s it. It doesn’t give you any more than 10 meals. When I went to look at the other meals it said that I had to pay money to see the recipes!! This was a waste, don’t download it!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review,

I am afraid there has been some misunderstandings about the functionality this application provides.

First of all the application *never* asks you to pay money to view recipes. In fact there is *no* paid version of the app available yet at all! One in app purchase is being developed but it’s just to remove ads. There is, and will *never* be, a limit on the dishes you can add. Go crazy, add hundreds of them :).

Secondly the app is not a recipe app. The purpose of it is for you to add the recipes you are cooking home and then get suggestions based on how you categorise the dishes with tags. The 10 initial recipes are there to kick you off but if you are looking for ready to cook recipes then this application is not for you unfortunately.

Thank you for checking the application and provide feedback.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed!

*2019-12-15, version 1.5.0*

Love this app! Can’t believe it’s taken so long for someone to make an app like this. And it works like a dream!

### 4/5 — Helps to decide what to eat

*2019-09-01*

For a long time I use to think maybe I should have a bowl with dishes names that would help me decide everyday what to cook but this app helped me to avoid doing that. You do have to manually enter the names but once you are done, it’s very helpful. You can add recipe links and preparation time plus tag the dishes like breakfast, vegan, dinner, Mexican etc. So when the time comes to decide what to eat, you can narrow your search down to particular tag, or preparation time etc

### 5/5 — Useful and fun

*2019-07-05, version 1.1.1*

App helped me a lot organizing my recipes and getting my weekly eating plan done. I’ve used to have lists of recipes, photos from restaurant dishes, handwritten recipes from my mum and bookmarks in several places... now I’m porting them all in the app and tagging them. I can find them easily,  schedule my weekly plan and create my super market list. I tend to cook the same dishes again and again, so having a random suggestion is useful and fan.. 5 stars from me!
