I love this app so much, it has improved my cooking experience. Low carb, sweets, drinks, fancy dishes made with the least amount of money possible, you name it. Even if you cannot find all the ingredients, you can easily substitute them with what you can find locally and it still comes out nice. The only bad part is that not all the low carb recipes are as simple as some titles say(low carb dishes are tricky to make on itselves, we all know that) Other than that, 5*

I loved the app and how it developed over the last months. However, I see some room for improvement in usability. For example, the filter button would be helpful for all lists, not just the general overview. Furthermore, it would be helpful if lists could be used as filter criteria, for instance in my list 'sweets' I want to filter on 'cooked' recipes. Also the assignment / removal of a recipe to a list is too cumbersome, this could easily be solved with a multiple selection / unselection.

Its a great app, but it can still be improved to be even better! By simply adding a customizable ingredient blacklist, where users can add ingredients they cant or wont eat. The app should not show recipees with theese ingredients. It is an extention on setting yourself to vegetarian (blacjlisting meat) . Would help people with all sorts of eating disorders like dieabetics, coliaks, and so on. For example i would like to skip anything with tofu or soy in it for reasons i do not wish to share.

I think the concept and the design of the app are great. Especially the 3 random recipes per day are very inspiring and limiting, in a good way. But the more "advanced" diets (vegan) and what you don't like is hidden behind a subscription. As a compromise you could offer the extra diets as an on-time purchases, but definitely not as a subscription, I have enough already. I don't always feel like adapting vegetarian dishes, so unfortunately the app is useless for me despite the good concept.

Great app! I used to get overwhelmed with the amount of recipe choices on the internet - this app gives 3 per day + 3 special recipes per week, which makes decision making so much easier. All of the recipes I've cooked (about 12 so far - all vegetarian) have been huge hits! And there's a built in grocery list feature connected to the recipe list - so convenient! Plus, the screen stays on while the recipe directions is open, which makes it easier to cook while getting your hands dirty :).

Great recipes-App could be improved. Every day 3 new recipes, that's okay. But I don't always feel right that moment for what's suggested. The app has no search function or general recipe library. You can safe for yourself up to 25 recipes, but that's not much. And no print possibility. Pity, the app is great apart from the above mentioned, but I won't keep it cause of it's very constricted usage.

This is the only cooking app I use nowadays. You get 3 new recipes daily plus 3 weekly specials. If you create an account then you can fave an unlimited number of recipes and create you own cook book essentially. The recipes are quite easy to follow, I especially like that they include the ingredient amounts needed at each step and that you can set a timer directly from the app. Everything seems well thought out, so keep up the good work guys!

the selection of meals/recipes is pretty impressive and i bought premium for a year, so spent 50 euros on an app that essentially takes over googling recipes for me - fine. i was however very disappointed by the fact that the app is still stuffed with advertisements for food brands, suggesting recipes with their ingredients, even on the subscription. in my view, you pay for the product, or you are the product - but not both. i also wasn't able to deselect some ingredients that i don't enjoy.

This App deserves an 5 Star rating. I love the pictures of the food, the features like the little in-app timer, so you have everything without switching the app. Everyday you get about 3 new inspirations to cook so after a few days you have a great portfolio with meals you like to cook. You can add notes and mark them as cooked. I really like this App. There is no comparable on the store.

I love this app! But there are still a few bucks in there. For example: - Sometimes, it shows me some products in english, some other in german. - The amount does not always match my view with my partner's (we opened a recipe and for one ingredient, he was shown 500 g or so and for me it was 300 g or so). - I created a shopping list today and wantet to enter some products I need which are not needed for the dish. I entered chocolate but there is no amount shown.

Interesting concept and good recipes for the most part. To be able to save more than 25 recipes you have to sign up. Fine with me - except that this doesn't work, there's just a generic error message. Can't sign up on the website either. And of those ones I saved three got deleted, two of which I was already planning to do so now I was sitting on ingredients without recipes. Basically useless without signing up but with such glaring technical problems I wouldn't want to pay even if I could.

I don't usually subscribe to apps but I decided it was worth it for this one. The recipes are always really tasty and easy to make. They keep it simple without too many different ingredients and use really good combinations that make the flavours pop. like the integration with kaufland. The shopping list that it generates is in the same order that you encounter the products in the store. It makes the shopping process really easy. I also like that it gives a pretty accurate estimate of the cost

I have found a few really delicious recipes through this app that have become part of our family répertoire. A lot of the dishes look great and fresh. However, I wish the company wouldn't promote unhealthy foods and drinks such as energy drinks as recipe ingredients. I also wish there was a larger selection of healthy meals that are heavy (50% of a plate) on vegetables. Most of the recipes seem very heavy on potatoes/pasta/rice, with veggies only as a side (max 30% of a meal).

I'd like this app a lot but a bug preventing me from making shopping lists out of my weekly plans is extremely annoying

There are much better online options out there. The recipe selection is limited. You can't filter by cooking tools, so without an oven or grill, options are few. Excluding basic ingredients like tomatoes, onions, or mushrooms drastically reduces recipe variety. It’s marketed better than it works. I bought it during the Easter promo, so no trial was offered—and I now truly regret purchasing it without testing first.

Entirely unusable without premium. Every recipe I tried to look up was hidden behind a paywall. During setup I was asked what diet I follow, I selected vegetarian. The first recipe the app suggested was roasted chicken. What's the point?

Everything except the 3 daily meals is hidden behind a paywall. Meaning if you dont want to pay, it would be a painstaking process of slowly adding 3 recipes per day to your favourites until you have a decent list. I did the free trial just to see what premium was like. The "exclusion list" of "things I wont eat" is very small, I couldn't even add quinoa to my exclusions. So, not "fully customizable" like they claim. Also, you cannot add your own recipes. All in all, it falls short.

Deleting and adding recipes to a collection is bugging! Please fix it. I can't remove recipes or add them. It works sometimes(1 out of 10). It's frustrating to add it and have to relaunch the app just to realise i need to try again and again. There is also no support section where i can report this issue... thats why I am here

I am not seeing the $6 per month value (or $5). Maybe if it interfaced with grocery delivery services it's be worth it. Also the ability to filter recipes based off number of ingredients. Sometimes just want to keep things simple. Lastly, if it could build plans that minimize waste by using like ingredients, that would be great.

The principal is there, and it's a good app for those who already eat healthy I suppose. But here are the issues I have: You can only look at 3 recipes a day, and they usually have very unusual ingredients, making them not the most tasteful dishes for those more picky or those new to eating healthy (such as myself). To make it even worse, in order to view more recipes a day or use literally any function in the app OTHER than looking at recipes: it costs you $60 a month
