It’s only free for 7 days!

Very disappointed in Doctors Kitchen.
I’m a long time listener to his podcast and decided to download app as he always says it’s free.
It’s not.
You need to pay after 7 days are up.
I feel this is poor form and misrepresented in his podcast.
Such a shame.
I didn’t expect full access for free but I did expect more than 7 days (even limited access would have been better than the false promise). Cya.

Great, even better with other languages...

I like the app very much and also the YouTube channel. The recipes are really delicious.

It would be really great if you could set up other languages, e.g. German. 😉

Poorly optimised app

This app requires always on internet. Using the shopping list feature in a shopping mall with spotty internet is impractical as marking off items won’t sync.

The app is very unresponsive when moving between menus as I suspect it is downloading text / images every time and not caching anything, this is an incredibly poor user experience when trying to add recipes to a plan. The delay caused by redownloading items causes me to double click / swipe in the menu and lose my place.

There is no cursor in any text entry fields.

I do not think this app is worth the price given these design decisions. I will not be renewing my subscription.

Great content and support

Good clean eating advice and a very helpful and responsive team for any issues or questions that may arise.

Fabulous

Love this APP, have used it everyday for 2 weeks. Recipes are delicious

Surprising fresh inspo!

We’ve made several recipes from Dr Rupy and each has been stellar! Refreshing ideas with light hearted videos and renewed encouragement to eat a plant based diet.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, we're so glad that you're finding the Doctor's Kitchen so valuable :-)

Everything looks incredible!

I don’t often write reviews, but after just 2 weeks using the app I’ve been delighted with the variety of foods and drinks. I’ve already been making the high protein breakfasts which taste wonderful. I have Crohn’s disease and although there’s no cure, I do feel healthier sticking to no ultra processed foods and helping my gut health. I’m pumped with steroids and biological drugs which all cause their own damage. This year I wanted to repair my gut micro biome, the recipes help me get in more good foods. I feel happy with the app, I also watch the videos Dr Rupy has on there to learn new things. Thank you

Thanks for taking the time to leave this lovely review - I'm so happy that you're finding the app so helpful and useful! Dr Rupy x

Deceptive marketing

It took my email-id first and then showed that the app is paid and free can only be used if you agree to be charged x weeks from now. I am okay to pay but I like to first see without locking into any contract what am I getting. Sorry but you'll get a 1 start for being deceptive.

A breath of fresh air

I’m planning my meals using the app, trying out a few recipes but mainly adapting my usual meals. The AI version of Dr Rupy is very droll, with substituted ingredients and serving suggestions; that is built into the app.
The approach feels motivating rather than restrictive, and that it’s helping me build a routine that’s boosted my protein intake without adding stress.
I am using the app to widen my selection of foods, increasing protein rather than count calories.

This is the second week and I have felt no tugging towards sugary snacks because I am eating well three times a day.

I have not been asked to review the app, this is my honest opinion.

Great app but keeps going off

I absolutely love this app, but if frequently b comes unavailable and telling me I’m offline when I’m not.. very annoying & needs fixing. Can’t even get to app support

Best healthy recipe app ever

I’ve tried a lot of recipe apps and being vegan it’s been a rarity to find an app that’s NOT specifically vegan yet has plenty of really delicious yet easy and healthy vegan recipes to chose from. The app itself covers everything very thoughtfully- it’s easy to navigate, I LOVE the meal planners, shopping lists, nutrition breakdown, clear and clean layout.
I’m still in the earlier days of using it but it’s been fabulous and I’m sure I’ll be renewing.

Yummy and good for you!

This is delicious just what I need at this time of year as the darkness is closing in. Add to that the health benefits and this makes a superstar warming evening meal or an easy lunch when at work.

Good, but could be better

I love the idea of this. I wish there was an easy way to add the recipe to progress right from the recipe. I think it would be great if the database for food would include a wider variety, so that if you had to have a Starbucks panini it would tell you how bad it was. I also would like to modify a recipe with substitutes and add that to my progress. Currently it only works for the offered substitutions.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback - that's all really useful and already in the works :-)

Outstanding app

This app is outstanding ! Tons of evidence based nutrition information and excellent recipes. I love that it does not promote products and is consistent in quality throughout. I particularly like the podcasts.

Great app

Love this app, everything has been so well thought out. The passion for good food comes through every recipe, these recipes aren’t hastily put together to sell only. Obviously not every recipe will appeal to everyone as tastes vary, but the ones I have chosen based on my preferences have mostly been great. The alternative swap options are so helpful as it saves some mental energy, and the meal planner and list are also great.
Really appreciate the gifting of the subscription as well. Wasn’t familiar with Dr Rupy previously but am now a big fan of what he is trying to do.

Hey it's Dr Rupy here! Thank you so much for this beautiful review 💛 It really means the world to hear that the love and care we put into every recipe comes through to you. Food is such a personal thing, so I’m delighted you’ve found dishes that hit the spot and I totally agree, having those swap options makes life a little easier (we could all use a bit of saved brainpower! 🥑✨).

Glitchy and no Eggs?

I really wanted to love this app. I have been using so many food tracking apps over the years that it is ridiculous. I love the YouTube channel and thought I would download the app and see if I could use it to improve the foods I was eating the meals I was making, and I prefer to eat fish and eggs so I chose the pescatarian option and I realized with the meal plan menu I was not getting anything that had eggs in it so I thought I would go into my profile and change my profile. It started glitching. It wouldn’t let me go into my food preferences then I changed my food preferences to. I’ll eat anything even though I won’t because I didn’t see a option of vegetarian with dairy or eggs and it wouldn’t save the changes and then when it finally saved the changes and I did a search for an omelette there was no omelette so I am assuming there are no eggs option which I don’t understand like what is the bad rap with eating eggs. I don’t really think that this app is ready for prime time. And also the progress and the macro nutrients that they show you. It’s not detailed enough.

Hey Siberia, it's Dr Rupy here. We most definitely have eggs on the menu! I appreciate you writing a review. If you wouldn't mind shooting an email to our team at app@thedoctorskitchen.com and we can investigate any egg-amples of issues you have had. We're always happy to help! Love Dr Rupy

Premium Pricing

Please be aware that the actual price of the premium app is 179 pounds per yr not 80 pounds. Sad face…

Fourth year!

I’ve just renewed for the third time. The App (and podcasts!) have changed the way I think about food, and it’s my go-to resource 80% of the time. Meal-planning is second nature now, and I have saved money in the long run by slowly building up my store cupboard ingredients, and cooking from scratch most of the time. Now in my 60’s, and in the best health ever. Thank you again Dr. Rupy!

It not free

Another subscription base app.

Great App…however

I love this app and its content. It’s great that it generates a shopping list once I’ve chosen my menu. So much easier at the supermarket. One thing however, once I’ve created my menu for the week I’ve found that I have to delete recipes if I decide on a different order throughout the week. It would be much easier if there was a drag and drop facility. 😀
