Recipes have disappeared!

Having used the app previously- went to look for some inspiration…only to discover there are no recipes! Where have they gone?

Hope you’re not hungry!

Images downloading… that’s all I can see.. I haven’t even been able to see any recipes yet, in the paying version of this app.. luckily I’d only subscribed for 1 month, for £1.99, I won’t be subscribing again; that’s for sure 😂

Love / Hate relationship with this app

This is the best curry recipe app BY FAR. The recipes are authentic, easy to follow and absolutely delicious. The one time access fee is great value once you realise the quantity of recipes and how unique they are. So why only 3 stars? Because the app takes at least 10 minutes to download its content every single time it is opened. I have an iPhone 17 with updated software, I’ve deleted and re-downloaded the app, it makes no difference. While it’s downloading you have to keep the app open and the screen unlocked, or it starts again. It’s INFURIATING. This means I’m super reluctant to plan recipes from the app because the thought of waiting for it to open is so irritating and really unfortunate. So - 5 stars for app content, but 0 stars for app performance.
