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 2 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.

What happened to the recipe pictures
Pics removed for some reason
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 😂

The best curries
This app is one of the best curry recipes and so easy to use and follow.❤️
Good recipes, bad app
The recipes are great, they look nice. Every time I open the app it spends 40 minutes downloading images. It doesn’t cache them (as far as I can tell), it doesn’t continue in the background so I have to keep the app open and my screen unlocked, and it doesn’t start from the same place if there is a network error- it starts again. Immediately uninstalling and will try and get a refund on the subscription.

Doesn’t cache photos
I understand the photos are helpful, and the recipes are great. But Stuart, PLEASE implement a local cache for this app so that it doesn’t have to download the entire gallery every time I open the app. It’s not just the initial open, it downloads images EVERY time I open the app, and has done for the last year or so. It really takes stars away from an otherwise amazing tool

Good recipes slow app
The recipes are good but be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes to load recipes, images etc every time you open it unless it’s only been a few days.
Response from developer
Hi and thank you for the review! Recipe updates are released every couple of months, so only a handful of downloads per year to get those extra recipes. We've also recently updated the app which should see much faster downloads when recipe updates are released. If you're still seeing long waits on your next recipe update, please get in touch with technical support via the app and we'll be happy to help.
It’s Ok
The app is OK but seems expensive for what I can get just as easily off the website. There are some errors and confusion, e.g. beef rendang overview mentions , kerisik, as rice powder but seems to be coconut powder further on. It’s useful and the recipes are good but for the price I was expecting something more.

What I’ve been looking for!
Great recipes, easy to follow.
App is easy to follow
App is easy to follow, with great authentic recipes that are so tasty!
Looks promising but very slow
The app looks promising with a multitude of interesting and useful recipes however is sooooooo slow that it makes it unusable. Don’t waste your money as you can Google recipes much faster.
Cheeky
I paid for this app around 15 years ago. Now I must pay a subscription to view recipes. The Curry Guy? The Greedy Guy
Great recipes….but
Why is this app so so so so so slow at loading images when you first start the app? Where are you hosting those, the moon?
Rubbish 😡
When you read the app description, it implies that there are recipes for free - unfortunately this is not the case, you can’t see anything unless you pay 😡😡. The app has been deleted now
Response from developer
There are over 30 free recipes on the app, if you couldn't see anything then there may have been an issue affecting your installation. Please try re-installing which should resolve the problem.
It took a while…but I got there!
I gave up the first day I tried to down load the app! Then when I purchased the access - then it took me about 8 attempts to load the app! I have it now and it is great! Can’t wait until I start using it!
CONSTANTLY DOWN LOADING IMAGES
Well, all I can say is i persevered with this app but sadly enough is enough. From the get go the app takes for ever to “download images” to the scale of 5-10mins! It is not my download speed; i am sporting 500GB download speeds and no other app takes this long. Its not the phone or iOS; i have tried on iPhone 12 Pro, 14 Pro and now a 16 Pro Max, all with up to date iOSs installed. If i do wait the 5-10mins then i am faced with have i got a subscription….on answering yes i am then faced with…..you guessed it…..more “downloading images”. This time they take from 15-mins up to…..i cannot be bothered to continue to download its taking so long. Sadly after what seems like several years i just can’t be bothered with this app. The only positive side was their customer support was quick to respond but sadly they were unable to rectify this app for me. So that’s it; i place this app in the B-One-N!

The app has over 300 recipes, each with multiple step-by-step photos, so there are lots of images to download. We have recently upgraded our systems to improve performance for those like yourself who are based overseas. Sorry it doesn't seem to have worked in your case, although we have received more positive news from other overseas users who previously had issues. We continue to monitor and improve performance wherever possible.
For curry fans
Great app , all the recipes are well thought out and well written
You can spend hours just reading them
Or crack open a beer and make one
I made the Chinese chicken curry as it’s my favourite curry thinking it would never be as good as the takeaway - it was way better
I have all the books but this app is a shelf saver

Very difficult to find a Recipe on this app!
I followed the link from Facebook for cheese stuffed meatballs, tried to print the recipe but it wouldn’t work, so downloaded the app and was looking forward to using, I’ve searched 3 recipes so far and apart from loads of info about the food, I’ve failed to actually find a single recipe. I’m not young but have been using apps for years and never had a problem before 🤷♀️

Hi, I'm sorry to hear this. I think you emailed for support and I have replied with some details. Please do get back in touch if you need any further help with this as we'd obviously like you to get the most out of the app :) Thanks, Stuart.
