### 5/5 — Works recipes

*2026-02-01, version 2.1*

Have been using this app for years and years. Recipes are very diverse and work every time. Sadly, no updates. Still I love it. Hope it won’t disappear. 🤞🏻

### 1/5 — Quality

*2025-06-27, version 2.1*

Very unresponsive

### 3/5 — Great App

*2024-07-09, version 2.1*

Great app only needs updated contents and grid view with name on top

### 1/5 — Where are my recipes

*2024-06-20, version 2.1*

My entire list of favourite recipes has disappeared. Do you know why and how do I get them back?

### 5/5 — Great❣️

*2023-10-01*

This is a really great app. Not only can you browse various genres of cooking recipes for free, but you can also use it offline as it doesn't require the internet and will appear instantly. What's more, the design is stylish and easy to understand, and you can use it even with older iPhones. I have installed this app on my iPhone 5 iOS6 and love it.

### 1/5 — It’s ok not really helpful.

*2023-09-23, version 2.1*

Can’t search any recipes. Not to mention small sections of recipes. Needs work

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2023-09-17, version 2.1*

I am so excited to try this app, very easy to use, amazing recipes, and even if this app was $20 I’d pay for it any day.

### 3/5 — You will have to research the recipes on your own

*2022-12-18, version 2.1*

This is a good app for looking at a variety of dishes and getting inspired. However, many of the recipes are not accurate with the picture or don’t provide full information. For example, the fries recipe under American food is not how American fries are traditionally cooked and won’t produce the result in the picture. For that result, the fries will need to be deep fried twice at different temperatures. The recipe says to simply coat the potatoes in oil and salt and bake them. Then the calamari recipe under Greek recipes tells you to stuff the whole squid with breadcrumbs and feta and grill it, which sounds tasty but won’t produce anything close to the fried calamari rings in the picture. There are MANY inconsistencies like this that show nobody is actually testing these recipes or giving accurate pictures. The Caribbean and African sections are sparse with the Caribbean mostly giving Jamaican recipes and the African giving Northern African recipes. This is a good app for getting ideas but if you are a beginner find the recipes from a tested site.

### 1/5 — Very limited

*2022-08-28, version 2.1*

Search function doesn’t know what Blackberry is.
Search function doesn’t know what Cobbler is.
Those were the first two things I tried and no results. 

-delete

### 4/5 — Xx

*2022-05-17, version 2.1*

Too many ingredients and too complex but very good meals. Software a little temperamental but a very good addition
