An editorial reading of the saved reviews

One of the best tools for importing recipes from blogs and social media: X-ray mode strips out advertising noise and leaves only the recipe, and cooking mode keeps the screen on. Serving scaling was moved behind a paywall, which frustrates longtime users.

What reviews praise

X-ray mode removes all blog text and leaves only ingredients and steps; the screen stays on while you cook.

What reviews complain about

Serving scaling became a paid feature despite requiring no server-side processing.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

Use X-ray mode to view just the actual recipe and "start cooking" to activate recipe mode so your phone doesn't lock while you are cooking. Does a good job of pulling the actual recipe from lengthy blog posts, that's my favorite part!

When I first got the app I loved how much it could do especially with the language support and scaling for a lot of my non-English recipes. The new update decided to make scaling for members only, which is a basic function that other recipe apps still have for free!
