Love it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sign in/Sign up *2023-12-17, version 3.15.1* When I try to sign in/sign up, it tells me to put my phone number, but when I do and press next, it says, verification code could not be made. Is there anyway I could resolve this problem? I did it on the website easily but not on the application. ### 1/5 — Who’s actually cooking my meal? *2022-08-14* Who’s actually cooking my meal and where is coming from? Where is the food being delivered from? There is no way to track the food’s origin. There seems to be no way to verify if the pictures and bios of the chefs represented are actually the person or people preparing my meal or even if they are actual chefs. There is no way to directly contact them or verify their location. This makes it open for possible misrepresentation and fraud. ### 1/5 — Too much from me, not enough from them *2022-01-13* I was all set to consider this service after reading about it on Facebook. Then I went to look. First my phone number. Then my full name and email. And then my specific address. All before I could see pricing and what is available in my area. Yeah I don’t think so. **Developer response:** Hi there! We're happy to let you know that In a later version from the one you reviewed here we have removed the need for customers to sign up first before being able to use our app. Now, we only request your information when you decide you would like to make a purchase from one of our home chefs. We hope that you will give us another try and download the newest version of the app to check out all the improvements we've made. As a young company we are learning as we go and appreciate all customer feedback :-) Feel free to reach out to our support team (https://www.eatwoodspoon.com/contact-us) who can help you find one of our talented chefs and answer any other questions you may have about our service. ### 1/5 — Gross *2020-09-01, version 2.3* None of the chefs are legit. There are better apps that do the same thing ### 1/5 — Location Location Location *2020-07-14* Not available in the Chicago area. **Developer response:** Hi 👋 WoodSpoon will be available for delivery of baking goods in Chicago soon. Please stay tuned and reconsider ranking us again :) ### 1/5 — Only for the sighted *2020-06-15* If you, like myself, use voiceOver for access, this app is not for us. Not just the usual disregard for labelling things. I could figure that out, but tap on an item you are interested in and you get something else. They clearly didn't think VO users were worth incorporating access for. Nice idea, though. Too bad. ### 2/5 — Flawed. Part of my order looked like scraps *2022-05-08* After placing my first order I received a call from “some guy” saying that one of the two items I ordered isn’t available. I ended up canceling the order. It seems that there are no controls to prevent folks from ordering that which is not available and wasting customers time. I reordered from another “home cook” and one of the dishes I received “Mac & Cheese” looks like leftover scraps. Is this what this really is, somewhere folks can sell their leftovers and other miscellaneous scraps for $? The nice blue bag and stickers mean nothing when you open the food container itself and there are scraps. ### 3/5 — Couple problems *2022-10-31* It’s a cool service and decent app but 2 problems 1) there are edge cases where you order food for ASAP but then they run out and schedule it for a diff time without making that abundantly clear 2) the order is shipped in this wasteful heavy duty reusable bag. So every time you place an order, they give you this big bag to either throw in your closet with all the others, or toss in the garbage. Please switch to regular bags. ### 3/5 — Don’t demand data before offering any service. *2022-05-19* Demands that you submit all your personal data, including your exact address and which door to get in, BEFORE you can even find out if there are chefs local to you. Deleted immediately. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review . In a later version from the one you've reviewed here we have removed the need for customers to sign up before being able to view which of our home chefs are in your area. We hope that you will give us another try and download the newest version of the app to check out all the improvements we've made.

Barely any information about them , no photos of food, no info on cooks just GIMME your e-mail and phone number SIGN UP NOW. Good concept but impersonal and hyper aggressive **Developer response:** Hi there :) Thank you for your feedback. We are aware of this issue and working to allow our customers to browse the app as "guests" before sign up. Giving that we are a new startup with limited funds, it just takes us time to implement. But we are hoping that once you signed up to the app, you did enjoy our fantastic selection of home chefs and their authentic cuisines. -WoodSpoon ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I wish I used it more then I did *2025-05-19* Was good app job complaints.
