### 3/5 — Good but some issues

*2026-06-23, version 1.19*

So I went on it before a lot and the recipes are amazing and all along with the concept! But I left for a few days and after it asked me to reconned, I did, but once I was doing the marketing email step, it bugged and kept sending me back on it. I deleted the app and installed it back a lot of times but it changed nothing! I even tried to make a new account 😭

### 4/5 — Restricting access

*2026-03-17, version 1.19*

Apps cool! The fact you can only pick three preferences for each category is limiting. Make it at least 5-8, between these would be a desirable number to consider

### 3/5 — Great but…

*2025-07-20*

I’ve already looked at all the recipes… nothing new ever. Great recipes, made some but still, put something on it new like every once in a while

### 4/5 — Great recipes but..

*2025-07-16*

I love this app it helps me find recipes to make for my family and the way you can watch certain parts of the video is a life saver no more rewatching the videos for th part I need but one problem. There isn’t very many creators like I keep on getting the same people even if I’ve only seen them plus there aren’t very many recipes to make but the ones they have are really good I’ve made a couple way better then my mom’s cookbook

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2025-05-06, version 1.13*

This app seems like a super awesome idea and I think this could be a huge help but when I scroll through the videos that take quite a while to load and it’s black for a long time

### 3/5 — Doesn’t let me in

*2025-04-13*

Love this app I got a bunch of different delicious recipes but one day when I opened the app it got stuck on a page asking for my first and last name and after I put my name and click next it refreshes and makes me do it all over again and won’t let me in the app no matter what i do I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and that did not work I’m so upset 😔 I recommend this app for anyone who can use it unfortunately I will have to let this app go 😭

### 3/5 — Malfunction

*2025-04-05, version 1.12.2*

I’ve loved the app so far, but I tried getting into the app today and it’s asking if I want emails. I checked off yes and pressed next but it still won’t let me into the app.

### 3/5 — Apps fine just not many recipes and a few things

*2025-02-04*

The good idea, but I did wish it had common so people could share their opinion or maybe share some extra tips that they found Will making the food, every time you scroll it thinks you’re scrolling into the recipe recipe, which is annoying too

### 2/5 — It’s ok..

*2024-12-15*

I downloaded it to find recipes for when I was babysitting. 

The app is so extremely slow and sometimes you have to scroll twice for it to register. There is no search bar so if you had an idea for a dish you need to look online.

### 4/5 — It’s fine

*2024-11-23*

It’s good but it’s really frustrating when you try to scroll and it doesn’t scroll the first time so you have to again. Not a big deal but you have to swipe twice every video. Also there’s not comments so if you want substitutes you’ll have to google it.

### 4/5 — Good recipes

*2024-11-08*

I enjoy the recipes, but the app could use improvements like having comment sections or ratings, adding more allergy filters, and measurement conversion options (grams to cup for example).

### 4/5 — opinions on the app

*2024-11-05*

i love the app i really do and ive been using it to cook ever since i got it a couple weeks ago but my only cons is that theres no search bar?? it only gives me recommendations which i dont mind but ive had to rely on other apps and websites now to actually look up things i enjoy and the other thing is theres no comments on the videos and id like to see how other people interpret the recipe and how they change it

### 2/5 — Lame

*2024-11-02, version 1.8*

I hate that there is no search bar!!! I’m literally about to delete it. Like I saw an ad for this app. On the ad  was a soup that I downloaded the app to get the recipe. Now I’m just gonna delete it

### 1/5 — There is something wrong with the app

*2025-04-06, version 1.12.2*

Everytime I try to open the app it shows me some email subscription option and everytime I check the box to move on to the homepage it just check reloading the email subscription page!!!!!

### 1/5 — App is broken

*2025-04-03, version 1.12.2*

Opens to screen to Add my Name - and won’t go any further after filling it out

### 1/5 — Can’t update but can’t use app without update

*2025-04-02, version 1.12.1*

When I open the app, it forces an update. When I click update, it takes me to the App Store but there’s no way to update. Click Open, app opens but forces update. 🤷‍♀️

### 1/5 — This isn’t KRAFT at all!

*2024-12-21, version 1.10*

I was led to believe this app had all the old Kraft What’s Cooking magazine recipes in a digital platform. This is definitely not that. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Very Limited

*2024-04-22, version 1.1.4*

Very few menu types. Limited ethnicities for food types. Not good for allergy restrictions. Deleting was arduous.

### 1/5 — Content is too big to fit nicely on iPad screen

*2024-02-20, version 1.0.13*

I deleted the app - it’s poorly developed.   The content is blown up so large it doesn’t fit properly on the screen.  I even had a lot of trouble filling in the opening questions because it didn’t fit and didn’t scroll.  I don’t want something I have to fight with in order to easily see it … so it’s gone !!

### 1/5 — Not loading

*2023-12-24, version 1.0.10*

The app just keeps loading. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing is working

### 2/5 — Strange

*2025-09-06, version 1.17.1*

Only a handful of creators, and not anyone can post. It seems to be only pre-chosen creators and brands. Not at all what I was hoping for.

### 2/5 — Broken

*2025-04-12, version 1.12.2*

Won’t let me click continue after the update keep loping

### 2/5 — Bugging issue

*2025-04-04, version 1.12.2*

It does not change page when I try to choose next , It’s bugged on the page don’t miss a single crumb

*2025-12-24*

I hope that as more users come there will be more videos of different foods not just a select

*2025-08-10*

This is amazing because me and my mom love food and are always looking to find new recipes.

### 5/5 — The app is so good!!

*2025-04-16, version 1.12.3*

This app has been so well thought out! Also the devs actually implement what users want such as allergie preferences which was a request earlier. Love the app keep it up. And please, no pay to use I beg.

*2025-04-04*

Love the layout and concept. Cant wait to see it grow and improve 💕

### 5/5 — Wow!

I am loving what’s cooking. Great recipes for everyday cooking. The videos make it so easy. This is the app for foodies for sure.

*2025-02-24, version 1.12*

I love scrolling the videos to find something new to make for dinner. So inspiring!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2024-12-17, version 1.10*

Imagine YouTube but only for cooking! Follow the chefs. Save recipes. Share recipes. Click on meal categories. So cool! Absolutely love it.

### 5/5 — I thought I was bad at cooking but this app changed everything

*2024-12-11*

I love this app, it compiles everything I need for a recipe without a life story and I can’t believe it’s not popular, without ads too I really hope it doesn’t get ads in the future. I told all my friends about it because it completely changes the game.

### 5/5 — The app I needed

*2024-11-06, version 1.9*

Wow Frank made this app and honestly I go on it everyday 😝😜🤪🤪😛😛😋

### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER!

*2024-10-25*

The recipes are so good. they recommend stuff by like a thing that says like your type of like food like country food that you like and it says like what level you are so you know what to do and not be like complicated. It’s for everyone expert and beginner.And again it’s the best app ever.
