### 4/5 — Existing app features are great but room for improvement to be even better!

*2026-06-09*

I love the fact that I can automatically generate recipes from online and it imports them, my favorite feature is the automatically generated shopping list from the recipes when added. 

Features I would like to see in the future:
-ability to add folders/categories for recipes (so I can categorize them by breakfast/lunch/dinner, or cuisine, or difficulty level, or cost, etc.) 
-improved ability to manually edit the recipes once generated (especially adding new ingredients)
-Going in tangent with that, a more user friendly format where I can manually enter my own recipes from my head rather than having to find a similar recipe online and then tweak it. 
-ability to share (and view) recipes within the app from/with other users

### 2/5 — It’s not working

*2026-05-18*

Been using it a while and previously it’s a hit or miss whether the recipe actually saves which is okay since 20% of the time I have to do it twice. Currently none of my recipes save and I tried deleting and reinstalling without any luck. Annoying because I reverted back to saving recipes on notes. If you guys are charging a subscription, you should make sure it works.

### 4/5 — Latest update

*2026-05-14*

I’ve lost recent recipe photos with the latest update - disappointed- is this going to happen with every update?

**Developer response:** Hello, is this still the case? The issue should be resolved by now, but if you're still experiencing this please contact us at hello@forkflow.io. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Bad for a paid app

*2026-05-10*

It simply doesn’t work properly. It crashes constantly, which makes it very inconvenient, because you paste the recipe from instagram, but it crashes and doesn’t save it. So you have to keep repeating the process. If this wasn’t bad enough, I suddenly lost all my bookmark recipes. Now I have over 50 recipes, but can’t sort them. I’ll have to organize them all over again. Which would be fine, if it wasn’t a paid app.

### 3/5 — Bug

*2026-05-08*

All of my favorites suddenly disappeared, and I lost months of organization and saved content. I’m honestly so upset about it. Please fix it 🥹

**Developer response:** It's fixed - your saved recipes were indeed not visible for a while on the new version. We're sorry about that! Please try again and you'll see them!

### 2/5 — Waste of money

*2026-04-18*

Update: First, you can’t save recipes from anywhere with this app. Basically it was Facebook and Instagram. The last several weeks it won’t even save from those. Constant glitching and nothing done by Support. 

The app works occasionally on Facebook and Instagram but nothing else. I end up saving to my Pinterest account which is free and doesn’t glitch like Whisk. Took my money and disappeared. The app stopped working. Then it only works on Facebook or Instagram. Asked for help. No response. Disappointing waste of money.

**Developer response:** Thank you for giving us a chance to resolve the issue! We really appreciate that. We're glad that the app has proven itself useful. It is our goal to make it the best place for all your recipes, and we will do everything to deliver on that goal. :)

### 2/5 — Can never upload anything

*2026-02-21, version 1.5.6*

This is a paid app and it absolutely never works. It doesn’t upload the videos and you can’t even change the pictures at times. It just constantly does not work!

### 3/5 — Free trial keeps popping up

*2026-02-11, version 1.5.6*

I like the application, but every time when I open it the screen for the free trial keeps popping up. Its very annoying! Also I couldn’t save YouTube videos recipe

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2026-01-31*

You have to close this app every time you add a recipe because if you try to add more than one, it just repeats the last recipe you added and adds it again.  Too annoying.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and not free

*2026-01-28*

Jus downloaded it and got stuck behind a paywall to sign up for an annual or monthly subscription. No way to skip or opt out for the free version. I ended up doing the free trial. I tried an Instagram and TikTok link and nothing loaded past I would say 95%. Then when I closed out of the app and tried to open it again it had logged me out. I tried to sign back in and select restore purchases but it said it had no record of my purchase when I had just signed up for the free trial. I selected the annual option again and then I got a message from Apple saying I was already in a trial and it let me back in. But I was still unable to link any social media links to it. It just wouldn’t fully load after several minutes. I cancelled the trail and I’m deleting this useless app.

### 2/5 — Issues with creating recipes

*2026-01-26, version 1.5.6*

I really like the app but the recipe creation is very frustrating. It takes numerous attempts to actually get it to create. I have the same experience whether using links, copy and paste, or even typing it in manually. Because of this I will likely start looking for an alternative app.

### 2/5 — Crashing and Inaccuracies

*2026-01-26*

The app won’t keep me logged in long enough to let me use my recipes! It keeps having me log in over and over and I can’t use it anymore. I was really excited about this app and I was going to do the 1 year subscription, but I’m glad I didn’t. I noticed the recipe saved by the app isn’t accurate to the original recipe I put in… it will leave out ingredients or even substitute ingredients to something else. I had a recipe that had an optional glaze made from butter and cinnamon and the app replaced it with milk and powdered sugar.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-07-12*

The app has some issues with accuracy at times and doesn’t always save the recipe. It was usable, though, until a recent update and it deleted ALL of my recipes. They’re all gone and there has been no support response. I’m so upset that I lost everything and PAID for this app. I will never rely on it to keep my recipes again. That’s money down the drain and months of recipes that I’d still have if I just wrote them down like before.

### 1/5 — Is this a scam ??

*2026-06-18*

I purchased the premium version expecting to unlock all the features but I still can’t add new recipes. There’s no help center or customer support, only a link to their instagram account, which is not acceptable for a paid application. I’m very disappointed and can’t recommend it.

### 1/5 — BEWARE OF THIS APP

*2026-05-24, version 1.6.4*

UPDATE- AFTER CANCELLING RENEWAL OPTION WHISK COMPLETELY CUT ME OFF FROM USE FOR MY CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION. 
I’ve had this app for a year and get a fail at least 50% of the time using both Facebook and Instagram recipe links. I cancelled my subscription which expires in July 2026 and Whisk cut me off 2 months early.

### 1/5 — All data wiped w/latest update

*2026-05-15*

I loved this app and had been using it for several months. Was on the premium subscription and was extremely happy. Until the latest update and all my data was wiped. I thought I had the wrong login so I tried another one and still came up with “start by saving your first recipe”. I reached out to support via email and no response. Extremely disappointed

**Developer response:** Hi, please try again - there was a short period when the recipes were indeed not visible, but it's been fixed since. Please contact us at hello@forkflow.io if you have any further questions - we will definitely answer there.

### 1/5 — It keeps creating the same recipe, and it’s the wrong one

*2026-04-24, version 1.6.2*

See title. I uploaded five samples, and it generated the same Al Pastor taco recipe five times

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2026-04-09*

I have really tried to like this app but it has way too many issues for REQUIRING a subscription. I tried many different recipes from different platforms and no matter what the “recipes” that were created from the video/websites were all so wrong. I had to spend time just fixing the mistakes. So many competitors to choose from instead. I suggest making it so you do not have to have a subscription, and offer a free base app! Will be deleting after requesting a refund.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-03-31, version 1.6.2*

Update; The app works occasionally on Facebook and Instagram but nothing else. I end up saving to my Pinterest account which is free and doesn’t glitch like Whisk. Took my money and disappeared. The app stopped working. Then it only works on Facebook or Instagram. Asked for help. No response. Disappointing waste of money.

### 1/5 — Can’t access app

*2026-03-15*

I can see I’m not the only one, I’ve already committed to one year subscription and it’s been two weeks, I harass the support and don’t get any answer. I have the latest version of the app I also removed and uploaded again.

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work

*2026-02-08*

Downloaded the app and chose the 7 day trial but I get stuck in a login loop. Can’t access the app!

**Developer response:** Hello! We've fixed the issues with the latest version. We're sorry about the inconvenience! Please give it another try :)

### 1/5 — Does NOT copy recipes!

*2026-02-01*

I actually like the app but it seems to have period of times when it won’t copy my recipes. I take the same recipe and enter into Honeydew and it copies. I’m testing Honeydew for reliability because I may switch. So far, unlike this app, it’s flawless. For 40 bucks, it should work much better than it does. Support is nonexistent.

### 5/5 — Option to change serving amounts?

*2026-07-04*

Really enjoying the app so far. I just wondered if there was a way to edit the serving amounts on a recipe. Sometimes it assumes a recipe serves 4 which impacts the per serving nutritional value. I can’t find a way to edit the serving amount within the app. Thanks

### 5/5 — A little trouble getting it to confirm my membership but great

*2026-06-22*

this app is a real game changer. Easy to use and capture those recipes you’ve always wanted to. Would be great if they included a rating function but overall one i use every day

### 5/5 — Recommend

*2026-05-30*

Issue was solved, love it very much.

**Developer response:** Dear Molly. Most of the stability issues have been resolved since. Please give the app another chance, and you shouldn't be disappointed. Also, while the support would prefer not be "harassed", we will definitely respond if you write at hello@forkflow.io. We'll also compensate you for the time the subscription did not work as intended.

### 5/5 — Latest update

*2026-05-29*

I’ve lost recent recipe photos with the latest update - disappointed- is this going to happen with every update?
Update - thank you developers- now working better than ever - the last app update gave a few problems which now seem to be resolved.  I like the newly added comments and hints - would also be nice to be able to add one’s own comments to a recipe. Really very clever app- wonderful way to store recipes

**Developer response:** Hello, is this still the case? The issue should be resolved by now, but if you're still experiencing this please contact us at hello@forkflow.io. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Loving it

*2026-05-25*

Amazing app ! Makes it way easier to manage my recipes . Customers service very accessible when you have questions. I tried multiple apps and this one was the best. Almost all the links that i put in works ! I love it

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Great for cooks

*2026-03-30*

I’ve been using whisk since last October and it’s been great to save fun treats and recipes for the holidays. I have adhd so I can’t stand watching videos for the ingredients , love that this app summarizes the link and I have a step by step process, including grocery list. Shopping and meal planning has never been easier.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! Glad the app has been helpful for you :)

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-03-25*

I loooove this app! I get most of my recipes from TikTok so I love that this makes it easy to save them all in one place and get written instructions. I also really like the grocery list feature

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Must have tool

*2026-02-23*

This is my go to app for recipes. I use it daily not only for new recipes but some of the old ones my mom use to make. The support is awesome as well. I was having trouble with it not loading recipes and they did an update the same day! This does everything I need from making a shopping list to step by step instructions. It’s a must have tool!

**Developer response:** Hello, we've had a short period of time where the recipe import didn't work correctly. We've fixed the issue since.

### 5/5 — Great, if it works

*2026-01-08*

When it works, it's great. There is no help or support on the app. To get help, I have to go to Instagram and message them. They resolved the problem yesterday, and today I have the same problem: nothing loads. I am paying a monthly subscription fee. I am disappointed and frustrated.

**Developer response:** Hi Emily, there indeed was a problem on our end with processing new recipes. Since then, we've made many improvements and fixes that make the recipe processing much more reliable. Please give it another go! We're also happy to reimburse you – please message us.

### 5/5 — Toll und Schlicht

*2025-10-21*

Die App ist Strukturiert. 
Mit den Rezepten kann man viel besser Arbeiten wie auf den Sozialen Netzwerken
