### 3/5 — Great idea, but filtering doesn't work!

*2015-07-23*

I was so excited for this app, but unfortunately the filtering doesn't work. I'm vegan, so I checked the box for vegan recipes, but I keep getting bombarded with grilled octopus or roasted duck. Eh, no. I would understand a slip up every once in awhile, but every other recipe that came up had meat. 

If the filtering is fixed, I'd try using it again.

### 1/5 — It won't load.

*2017-08-15*

A friend told me about this app and I was really excited. Unfortunately it will not even load for me.

### 1/5 — Faulty

*2017-05-13*

App stays in endless loading mode, no recipes come up

### 1/5 — Won't load.

*2017-05-10*

I was told about this app and it doesn't load.

### 1/5 — No longer loads

*2017-05-03*

Was a great app for quite awhile. However it no longer loads anything at all.

### 1/5 — Hasn't been working

*2017-04-14*

I loved this app for quite sometime! I thought it was the greatest app ever!!! But as of lately it won't even load up. Is anyone else experiencing this problem!

### 2/5 — Poor execution, awesome idea

*2017-06-08*

Controls feel janky compared to a native app. Swipes often hang half way off the edge of the screen forcing you to try again.

Would be super awesome to have an undo button, and/or be able to view your history. Would also be cool if it managed grocery lists or did anything more food/kitchen related.

Feels like a ton of time was wasted trying to be Facebook for food instead of on feature development.

### 2/5 — Meh...

*2015-08-29*

As stated in previous reviews, the filters do not actually filter your results. Clicked on vegan and all I was getting we're recipes for chicken, meat sauce, pot roast and more. 

There is potential to be a great thing, though. 

I would also add that at some point there should be a sorting or category organizational tool in your cookbook section. 

You should be able to categorize things like, "drinks, gluten free, dessert, snack, vegetarian, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and so on..."

It will make looking for a recipe much simpler since you tend to rack up recipes quickly. 

Last thing - I think all recipes (ingredients and directions) should be available through the app, WITHOUT having to click on the link for recipe. 
All this app is for is recipes, you'd think I could get the recipe in the same view. Otherwise I could just use Pinterest if I wanted to scroll through someone's blog for a recipe and ultimately give up.

### 2/5 — Good but not great...

*2015-08-19*

The concept is great and I like the setup... However I have this app on my iPhone & iPad. When using the apps filter's for chicken & beef, I get vegetarian and seafood. When I swipe regardless on either system, a recipe to the left or right, that recipe stays on screen and the recipe behind it gets liked or disliked- when I didn't mean to. When I try to go to My Cookbook or Logout, it forces me out to the Home Screen. Please (Massively) Fix This!!

### 3/5 — Has potential but...

*2015-08-18*

While I like the concept of the application and it's layout, it does not perform as it claims. When choosing filters such as vegetarian and vegan, I still get recipes that include seafood, egg & dairy. 

This being said, the application itself is very easy to use. I do see it having potential, once the glitches are solved. Also being able to save recipes and search for them would be great by adding more categories and keywords. This way when I choose desserts and vegan, I can get a dessert that is vegan or at least includes alternatives to be vegan.

### 3/5 — Good concept but still needs work

*2015-07-24*

I downloaded this as soon as I saw a article describe it as a Tinder for food. I like the concept but some of the swiping wasn't totally accurate (I kept a recipe on strawberry mojito and it gave me a salad). It also doesn't help that some of the recipes don't have pictures, which seems like should be the selling point of the app, visually appealing food pictures to entice users to keep a recipe. With some work on that and some UX improvements, this could be a cool app to use to try out new recipes!

### 5/5 — Love at First Swipe

*2017-01-17*

Last year I matched with this Rich Cheesy Hash Brown and Vegetable Medley and we have been in love ever since.

### 5/5 — I thought this was a dating app..

*2016-06-01*

But now I'm drunk off homemade Mai Tais. This app is GREAT

### 5/5 — I love my food! Why won’t it love me back? :(

*2015-08-31*

This app is amazing! I’ve been searching for years to find a way to express to my food how much that I love it! The only thing I would improve about it would be to find a way for the food to swipe right on me! I’m lonely!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2015-08-30*

I love this app. It's so easy to use and has amazing recipes. I use it almost everyday and I'm loving it. It's a great way to find amazing recipes to use and if your just a food lover in general but not really a cook it's great for you to. I love this app way better then Pinterest. Pinterest gives you not realistic ideas of things you can make and with this app you know you could actually make that certain recipe. It has great recipes and I love being able to use the filters. It can fit to anyone's diet. Once you get the hang of how everything works it becomes a great app for daily use. I love this app and I would recommend everyone get it.

### 5/5 — Best app ever!!

*2015-08-30*

I love this app!! Living in a city where I have to take public transportation to and from work, it's an awesome way to spend time and figure out what I want to eat on my way home. I feel that there aren't any food apps directed towards millennials, but this app definitely is. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

### 4/5 — Very Helpful

*2015-09-13*

This app helps me find great meals to make each week and the recipes seem endless!! I can find meals for the whole week in just minutes! But I would love it if you could organize your cookbook. It would make the whole experience a whole lot easier. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Love it! (Mostly)

*2015-08-12*

I love this app. It's fun and easier than Pinterest (I can just browse endlessly). However, I'd like to be able to search for certain things. Like "Thai" to be able to see any Thai/Thai-inspired drinks, soups, noodles, etc. the categories are very limited. But still fun! I'm trying a couple of the recipes tomorrow :) please make things have keywords so you can search for things!

### 4/5 — Decent but better searching would be great

*2015-07-26*

It's a great little app - very functional and swiping works great. Some recipes don't have ingredients, (probably as the websites they pull from aren't listing it in an easy to pull format), but it's the minority and understandable.

It'd be great if you could search through the recipes you've saved based on the ingredients you had  so you can quickly pick something to cook. Even a better filter of recipes based on included ingredients rather than name of the recipe alone would be awesome.

### 4/5 — Needs one change

*2015-07-21*

Love scrolling through and see pictures of certain dishes catch my eye. Saving the recipes for later is going to be really useful to me, but I think in the next update users should be able to categorize their recipes making it more organized and easier to find certain ones aka (BBQ, side dishes, desserts, beverages).
