An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Social media video recipe import works when it works, but it is unstable. Free-tier limits feel like a wall, and accounts with hundreds of recipes disappear after updates.

Serving scaling is complicated and changing the number of guests requires too many steps.

What users experience

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

I liked this app because you can import videos from TikTok and ig but it doesn't work. I followed the steps exactly and later when I opened the app to see the recipes I imported, nothing was there. Super disappointed.

The recipe was really hard to follow and not worth it. It made changing the serving amount very difficult and tedious.

After the new update the app not only logged me out but seems to have deleted my account entirely. No matter what sign in method I try it's starting as a new account, even though I have over 200 recipes saved. I can't find any support line to contact.
