You can't even use this app without first signing up for a paid subscription, totally useless. They completely lie about the 30 day free trial. I was charged as soon as I signed up for the $2.99/mo plan. Total ripoff.
Reviews for Specialty Produce
This was a good app, but now they want a ton of money. Thanks but no thanks.
Just downloaded the app and find it has a lot of good information. As a burgeoning foodie, I would like to see the app describe more how best to care for and store the particular types of produce. Otherwise, I feel like I will make good use of the information provided.
No Longer Free-- I work in produce and used this app all the time so i could better inform my customers about different fruits and vegetables, but an outrageous subscription is now required to get info i could easily pull from Google myself. I liked this app because I could easily search in one convenient location for the information I wanted, but niw that there is a charge to use any of the useful features, i have no more use for this app. Such a shame.
Developers of the app are not very transparent. The app is free to download and install but when launched, immediately requires your info and $25/yr to use. There's no explanation what the user gets for the payment during enrollment making the secrecy experience feel like a scam.
$25 yearly subscription!? You're out of your minds. I understand there is a free version, but it's extremely limited. To actually use the app, you need the full version and it is definitely NOT worth that price. Why not just Google things at that point? The creators of this app do not realize what an awful pricing model this is- and the reviews confirm that. They all echo exactly what I'm writing and if you look back at the older reviews, you'll see they've had their head in the sand for years!
Awesome database of fruits, veggies, legumes and more! this app is amazing for identifying foreign items, as well as learning their history and how to cook with them. there's even a shared market (which I haven't used yet, but excited to explore!) definitely recommend this app for chefs as well as veggie-curious enthusiasts!
Changing to a subscription model was not the move. Although I can appreciate the work involved in app development and compiling information on produce, I can't justify another subscription. Having to access the mobile site essentially means the app is just taking up space on my device.
After moving to coastal California several months ago, this has become my favorite subscription! Every new variety of fruit I find at farmers markets is right at my fingertips and so easy to find through this app! Its opened me up to trying so many new foods I dont think I would have had the courage to try without! Thank you for changing my day-to-day life for the better! Go plants and go you!
Now requires subscription, user interface looks worse. I used to recommend this app for my produce employees to further assist customers with product assistance. While I appreciate everything that you guys have done, $25 a year to view product information in app was not the right way to do it. The extra steps to jump to the site to view is a bit too inefficient, and doesn't help in you guys asking for monetary support anyway. Make the info free at least and lock the other features behind a fee.
