Random ingredients that are not in the ingredients list, steps of the method missing, plus random spelling mistakes and mis-sense throughout. There are far better meal planning apps and recipe collections that are not as expensive. Don’t bother with this one. ### 1/5 — Required Subscription *2026-07-05* It’s a free app to download but you cannot use it unless you pay for a subscription. Many other free recipes apps and sources available. **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for leaving a review. We appreciate your feedback. You are able to select your preferred subscription (monthly or yearly). The yearly subscription does come with a 7 day free trial.

I tried to contact customer service 6 times. By email and other platforms. They replied once on Instagram asking for my details and then completely ignored me. I tried to contact few more times. No reply. Nothing. I’ve never experienced worse customer service. The amount of recipes in the app is ridiculous and totally not worth the money. I own 2 books and enjoy them, but the app and customer service is a total joke! **Developer response:** Hi there, so sorry to hear this. We appreciate your feedback. We are continuously adding new and exciting recipes each week to the app. Thank you for picking up the books.

Horrible scam for an already horrible app **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for leaving a review. We appreciate your feedback. We do offer a 7 day free trial on our yearly subscription so you can explore the app before committing. This is clearly stated at the point of sign up. If you require further support, please reach out to us at support@thegoodbiteapp.com ### 1/5 — PAY WALL *2026-04-30* This app has a subscription you are forced to get in order to use the app and so nit worth using. ### 2/5 — Too expensive *2026-07-03* Sorry. Just not something I’m willing to budget for at this price. **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for leaving a review. We appreciate your feedback. We do offer a 7 day free trial on our yearly subscription so you can explore the app before committing.

BUT the one thing that is really frustrating me is the meals, most of the meals you find on the website are not on the app. This means constantly flicking between website and app trying to find the meals, instead of them being all in one place. I feel yes 2 star is harsh and I do want to give a higher rating. But until this issue gets resolved I can’t give a higher rating, especially when you are paying that much for a yearly subscription, you aren’t necessarily getting all to offer. ### 3/5 — Good recipes, poor proof reading *2026-08-22* I wanted this app for the recipes I see on his Instagram. And the recipes are great, however there are A LOT of errors between the Instagram recipes and the app ones. There’s often no instruction of what to do with an ingredient (chopped, sliced, diced ect) and I have to check Instagram to see what I should do. Then I will realise a sauce needed lime but that wasn’t on the recipe on the app… or on Instagram hel say to soak something but that’s not on the app… I feel like the recipes needed checking and proofing much better to prevent all the discrepancies. ### 3/5 — How “Good” is this *2026-01-11* Superb app, abosutley recommended to anyone looking for help cooking the right foods and what ingredients to use! **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for leaving a review. We’re so glad to hear that our recipes have transformed your cooking.

Using this app makes meal planning a breeze. I especially love that you can generate a weekly shopping list based on your meal plan. This adjusts based on the amount of servings per meal, which is especially useful when meal prepping for more than one person (less waste and less money). Recipes are delicious and something for everyone. I am pescatarian and there are many selections to choose from. I highly recommend this app to anyone trying to reach certain health goals or wants to put less effort and thinking into meal prep. **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for leaving a review. We’re so happy you’re loving the app. If you require further support, please reach out to us at support@thegoodbiteapp.com ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Absolute game changer! *2026-01-22* This app has saved me so much time and money and the recipes are incredible. The shopping list is so helpful and also makes quick work of eliminating what ingredients I already have, meaning I’m not wasting money buying ingredients “just in case we don’t have them.” The recipes are unreal. We ONLY eat TGB dinners, and the breakfasts and snacks are slowly creeping in. It is genuinely unbelievable something can taste so good but also be healthy for you!! We’ve used all the books before but to have an app in this form that offers recipes and meal plans and the shopping list is amazing! **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for leaving a review. We’re so happy you’re loving the app and thank you for also picking up the books.

User friendly interface with a lot of accessible features. Good value for money too. Would definitely recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Finally a meal planning app that works ! *2026-01-11* This app is great … the amount of times I sit at the weekend surrounded by books to meal plan for the week, scribble on a bit of paper or notes on my phone - with this app I can add the meals to a meal plan day by day - I can turn the calories off if I don’t want it, it then adds to a shopping list that I can take to the shops ! On top of that I can add on my own regular items to the shopping list so no need for two lists - amazing !! **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for leaving a review. We are so glad it is transforming your weekly meal planning.

I’ve been able to create meal plans in advance and the step by step instructions means you don’t have to guess what happens next. I love the shopping list feature as you can add items that aren’t in the recipes. This has meant that I don’t have to from my notes app to the, The Good Bite. There’s something for everyone. I highly recommend The Good Bite app for anyone & everyone. I’ve done the salted caramel overnight oats, gnocchi bolognese, smashed avocado toast with caramelised bacon & egg, chilli sesame chicken tender wrap, cowboy butter steak & potatoes and so many more. This app has made meal planning and food shopping less stressful. It also takes the guessing out of meal planning. If you track your macros it has this as well. **Developer response:** Hi there, such a great review. The chilli sesame chicken tenders are definitely one of our favourites.
