   crashes. i spent so much time putting in recipes into this app i really love it and i love that it’s free but i cant even open the app anymore it just automatically crashes im really disappointed cause i was using this app constantly but now its of no use if anyone knows any way of fixing it please lmk😢

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   So many ads on the websites. So many ads on the website make the app glitchy. Terrible. I deleted it after a few recipes. So sad. What a waste of an app.

3. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Ads Galore. The app would be great if it wasn’t riddled with distracting and obfuscating ads. It’s like a Picasso painting of ads everywhere. Very tough to even enjoy recipes or follow what is going on in a recipe.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Bad app. App hard to use, was not able to get past all the bugs. Much better options out there, don't waste your time.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Can’t upload a new recipe. The icon just spins, I give up

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   No Method For Signup without Phone Number. At this day and age, any app developer should be aware that a phone number is, in some respects, more valuable than a social security number. Expecting users to fork over sensitive data without building any trust is outlandish and suspect at best. Apple and other OS platforms have provided methods for implementing secure account creation that also allow for anonymous account creation to obfuscate user data from collection methods. This has been in place for years, so there’s little reason for it to not be baked in to this app. Maybe there was no malicious intent, but after a certain point, the lack of implementation suggests use of dark pattern development.

7. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Super buggy. Great app, has so much potential. I love the community aspect and ability to browse popular recipes. BUT it is incredibly buggy, keeps quitting when I open it. Other times I cannot update recipes after saving them. Changes aren’t saved when I want to add certain recipes to multiple collections. These basic features need to be fixed in order for the app to be functional and useful.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Crashes. Multiple crashes with the app. I can’t even open it currently without it crashing. I really like the app itself, but if I can’t use it and it constantly crashes, it’s of no use to me. When the frequent crashes are fixed, I will change my review.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Frustrating app. The screen is so cluttered with ads you can’t find the buttons to navigate, let alone find the recipe itself. Which is sad because there looked to be some good recipes in it.

10. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    iPad usage. Love the app but it’s not very iPad friendly .

11. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not there yet. Even using the app link I was not able to add my wife as a friend and had to search for her. Also the support makes you download mail it doesn’t work with your current mail app. Reminds me of an app that released before it was ready and doesn’t listen to feedback

12. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Just missing a few features!. This app would be near perfect if only they added an option to sort by tags in addition to collections. This is especially important to me since I cook seasonally. Instead of having to add one recipe to multiple relevant collections, I would love to be able to filter recipes from one collection by “fall - pasta - one pot” or something like that. Also, I think it’s necessary to be able to manually input some recipes added from links online for sites whose format is difficult to parse. It has been impossible for me to import recipes from some sites. Other than that I love the app!

13. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    great idea. lots of bugs. I was excited to try an app to store my online recipes instead of links on my browser or Tik Tok. However upon downloading this with a friend, she was unable to get out of the tutorial and I was able to get through. I am unable to delete recipes that were copied wrong from the link in any capacity. would really love to continue using the app if these were fixed.

14. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    The truest free cookbook app. This is truly the only “free” app for your cookbook and recipes organizing needs. I love that I can either save my recipes from a different site or just write them myself. It does need a bit more development work, such as expanding the app to fit the entire screen for my iPad but other than that I think this is the best app.

15. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Love that it’s free to use!!. So helpful. The only app that’s truly free in this space and I really appreciate it. There are a couple things that other apps have that I wish I could have here like changing photos on published recipes or editing more easily if the creator didn’t put the recipe in the caption of the post. Etc

16. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Good but has some quirks. I like that I share Instagram recipes to the app. However, after the first 3 shared re was a long hesitation and the next 3 recipes did not show up. After closing and re-opening the app, they did show. One of the Instagram recipes I added did not have written ingredients. The ingredients were in the video. It would be nice to be able to add the ingredients to the written recipe instructions. Also, please add landscape mode for the iPad.

17. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    app is good. I want to introduce this app to my mother in law but the language is only in English. If it expands to other languages such as Spanish or French that’d be very helpful

18. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Fun but could use improvements. I’m really enjoying the app! I do think the functionality could be improved, including removing any additional information from recipes pulled from the internet to leave just the recipe itself.

19. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great App lots of potential. I enjoy this app a lot. One improvement will be the option to re title the recipe. I save a lot from videos and it grabs the title of the video which may or may not explain what the recipe is. Once that comes this will be five stars.

20. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    No more bookmarks!. This is a great concept. Love being able to put all the links for recipes I use in to one app. Don’t have to go to bookmarks anymore, and it’s seamless to use. Not really in to the social/sharing aspect of the app, but I see how it could be fun if you have multiple friends on there. For now just a great way to keep all my recipes from the internet (and not a cookbook) in one place!

21. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    AMAZING. Absolutely love this app! So many small features that makes it perfect!! -following feature without seeing “follower counts” -like/comment feature without seeing “like/comment counts” (helps people who struggle with comparison) -surprise feature: allows you to find new recipes, that you otherwise probably wouldn’t have tried! -Meal planning with calendar: helps stay organized and know exactly what your cooking when! -Categories: makes organizing meals way easier, especially when going on frequent fast, diets, or planning events. -Groceries feature: when importing from the planner it allows you to deselect ingredients you already have before add the entire list to your grocery list.

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    so helpful!!. love using this to discover new recipes and plan out recipes for the week - wish i could connect my NYT account to see the logged in recipes easier but honestly not even a big barrier for me to continue to use it every month!!

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Best Meal App!. My #1 app for cooking and recipes. I used to have the recipes across PDFs on the computer, chrome bookmarks, and texts. Spillt lets me keep it in a single place. The ability to use this to make a shopping list with different recipes is amazing.

24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Love!. I am such a fan of this app! I love how it keeps all my digital recipes in the same place. The social aspect is fun as well. There is no better app for meal planning and making cooking fun. In the future, I would love to see a scraped version of the instructions (similar to the grocery list) for easier page navigation and a way to save tiktok videos without it just saving a link (in case tiktok goes away!).

25. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    This is a lovely app.. I don’t have a lot to say, but if anyone wants recipes that are good for you

26. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Lovely recipe keeper. I used to have tabs and bookmarks full of recipes I liked or wanted to try but now I can keep them all handy with this app <3 and I love that it's social, sometimes I scroll through and see what other people are making for meal ideas (I dread being asked what's for dinner). The only issue I've faced is when I do that sometimes the app breaks and only shows me the same two recipes. Otherwise I looove Spillt and could spend hours on it.

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Really enjoying. Really enjoying this app. I’ve started by saving some old recipes and started ti find some good new ones. Still learning my way around it. I wish it were easier to filter for only vegetarian recipes

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Very helpful. Extremely helpful for planning the week’s meals. Never a stale recipe.

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Favorite App. They have thought of everything you could ever want out of a recipe, meal plan, shopping list app. When I had an issue I reached out and it was fixed immediately. Cannot recommend enough!

    Meal Planning Made Simple. It’s free!!! My family switched from hello fresh back to grocery shopping and this has helped make it just as easy to pick and prepare for meals. We can both look through/add to our collections and then add to the meal plan. Recipes can be copy and pasted from just about any website, even TikTok. Ingredients can all be added right from the recipe to your grocery list.
