ReciMe: Recipes & Meal Planner
gamed ratingA technically capable recipe aggregator with auto-import from any source, but a monetization model built around a forced trial and a hidden subscription seriously undermines trust. The product works, there is no feature fraud, but the billing practices are predatory.

About the rating
A storeAvg of 4.80 against a textAvg of 3.72 and 59% five-star reviews. Critical signal: the subscription bypasses the App Store, hiding it from Apple's cancellation system. Several reviews describe unexpected charges of $40 and a forced trial requiring a credit card.
Strengths
What users love
- Flawless recipe import from websites
- Videos
- And photos. Auto-generated grocery list from recipes. Excellent library organization and search.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Subscription does not go through the App Store
- So users cannot see or cancel it through system settings. The 5 to 8 recipe limit before the paywall is very low. Import occasionally fails.
Who it is for
People who actively collect recipes from the internet and are willing to pay a subscription, but only if they understand the terms before signing up.
