### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-08-17, version 1.52*

Wow, they have thought of everything and made it so simple and so intuitive!  Thank you for getting it right!

### 2/5 — Seit dem neuen Update nicht mehr zu gebrauchen

*2026-07-18*

Nicht mehr zu gebrauchen. Beim Importieren von Instagram werden die Rezepte nicht mehr mit übernommen obwohl sie in der Beschreibung aufgeführt sind. Die Fehlermeldung gibt an, es wären keine Angaben vorhanden. Die App erkennt sie nicht mehr. Oder, wenn Rezeptangaben vorhanden sind, werden sie von Deutsch plötzlich in Französisch oder so übersetzt obwohl in der App Deutsch angegeben ist…
Sehr schlechte App, verspricht mehr als sie hält. Kostet viel Geld und bringt nichts

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback – und es tut uns leid, dass der Rezeptimport nicht mehr richtig funktioniert 😔
Keine Sorge: Unser Team arbeitet bereits daran, solche Fehler schnell zu beheben. In den meisten Fällen genügt ein Update oder ein Neustart der App, um alles wieder zum Laufen zu bringen ✅
Wenn das Problem weiterhin besteht, schreiben Sie uns gerne direkt an support@wechef.site – wir helfen Ihnen schnell und persönlich weiter 💛 – Ihr WeChef-Team 🍳

### 5/5 — Meilleur investissement

*2026-05-08*

Il traduit les recettes qui sont en anglais et convertis au système métrique !!! MAIS parfois il ne traduit pas, je ne sais pas pourquoi (pourtant dans les deux cas les instructions et ingrédients étaient dans la légende tiktok) . Meilleurs 30€ dépensés ça les vaut largement. Il compile les recettes de la semaine pour unifier les quantités dans la liste de courses. J'adore !

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre superbe retour 🙏💛

Quel plaisir de lire ça 😊
Ravis que la traduction, la conversion en système métrique et la liste de courses unifiée vous soient aussi utiles !

Merci encore pour votre confiance et vos 5 étoiles 🍳
L’équipe WeChef 🍳

### 1/5 — Bourrée de bugs

*2026-04-07, version 1.42*

Au début, lorsque je me suis abonnée, je dois dire que j’étais très satisfaite. Cependant, j’ai très vite déchantée puisque l’application est bourée de bugs et n’est pas du tout conviviale. 

Pour ces raisons, j’ai décidée de ne pas renouveler mon abonnement. Le comble, c’est que mon abonnement est valide jusqu’au 3 août 2026 et je ne peux plus télécharger de fiches recette ni ajouter de nouvelles recettes à mon compte. C’est une blague ou quoi?!?!?J’ai payée jusqu’au 3 août prochain et on m’a simplement retiré mes droits d’utilisation! 

Donc avant de vous abonner, pensez-y!!

### 3/5 — Ne retient pas les modifications sur une recette existante.

*2026-04-06, version 1.42*

Bonjour.  Si j’essaie d’ajouter des ingrédients ou des étapes de préparation sur une recette existante, ces modifications ne sont pas retenues à la sauvegarde.  Je suis obligé de copier / réécrire le tout dans un éditeur à part, initier une nouvelle recette et coller le nouveau texte pour pouvoir obtenir ma version finale de la recette.  À corriger SVP.

### 5/5 — Vraiment pratique !

*2026-03-08*

J’ai acheté cette app car elle répondait à un besoin que j’ai depuis plusieurs années. Des centaines de vidéos de recettes enregistrées sur insta impossible à retrouver ! 
Je trouve cette app géniale car elle translate parfaitement en texte les recettes vidéo et permet de les classer ! 
Par contre petit bémol sur le moteur de recherche qui n’est pas vraiment au point ! Amis développeurs ! Vous avez encore du boulot là dessus !!

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre retour 🙏
Concernant la recherche, elle fonctionne actuellement principalement sur le titre des recettes. Des améliorations sont en cours pour la rendre plus efficace.

### 5/5 — Mon livre de recettes portatif

*2026-03-06*

J’aime beaucoup cette application, si au début je m’en suis servie pour happer des recettes au vol sur Insta, aujourd’hui je l’ai remplie de toutes notes, photos de magazines, lien internet… bref toutes les sources possibles, c’est génial comme concept 
Ingrédients modifiables d’un côté, étapes de l’autre. J’ai pu catégoriser les italiennes asiatiques desserts etc… on peut se créer autant de sous groupes que l’on souhaite 
Vraiment bravo!!
Axe d’amélioration ? La recherche par mot clé dans vos propres recettes ne fonctionne pas chez moi. Malgré les catégories au milieu de 40 recettes de poulet c’est mieux si on peut chercher avec un filtre

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre message, ça fait très plaisir à lire 💛
Pour la recherche, nous avons bien identifié ce point et des améliorations sont en cours pour la rendre plus fiable et plus pratique à l’usage.

### 3/5 — Manque l’organisation des ingrédients

*2026-03-01, version 1.38.6*

Application très pratique pour capturer des recettes provenant de toutes les sources.  Cependant, si une recette demande des préparations spécifiques pour plusieurs items, la liste des ingrédients n’en tient pas compte.  Tout est mis ensemble.  On voit les mentions spécifiques seulement sur l’écran de modification, mais en mode consultation ou en partage d’un pdf, les mentions disparaissent.  Décevant sur ce point.

### 5/5 — Good application

*2026-02-08, version 1.38.6*

Good technical support

### 5/5 — Top

*2026-02-07*

Top

**Developer response:** Un grand merci pour votre super note ⭐️
On est très heureux que WeChef vous plaise !
Bonne cuisine à vous 🍳💛
