1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Not Worth It. Have used this app for years. But now they want to charge $65 to keep it. Switched over to RecipeSage instead. Open source and free.

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   So annoyed. I’ve been using this app for years and years, even when they shut down and started up again, I stayed. You can’t dl recipes from insta, TikTok or YouTube, and that was inconvenient but what upsets me is now there’s a paywall. I was trying to move tons of my recipes somewhere else but I’ve run out of time and they’re forcing everyone to pay now. If it were a 1 time fee, I’d pay, but I’m not paying monthly to access MY recipes I got for free on this app. I had so many recipes, now it’s gone.

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Cost too much!. This app was great until I got the notice that all my 200 recipes will be gone unless I pay money. I will not be paying a monthly fee for this when I’ve been using them for years. I printed all my recipes and will be deleting it. (They only let you keep 40 for the free version)

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

   Recipes help hostage. App decided to start charging for storing recipes. Quite a bummer when your recipes are held hostage and you have to pay to keep them stored when that wasn’t the case before. This app sucks, store your recipes a different way that won’t start charging you out of the blue.

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

   Not Free Anymore. This WAS my favorite app, but it’s no longer free and their pricing is ridiculous. I’m done. Found a new free app and after I switch this one is deleted.

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   WHAT. I’ve been using this app for YEARS. And now all of a sudden they’ve joined all the other money hungry developers and have decided not only to charge but screw over all of us like me who have been using this for so long. I have hundreds of recipes - you’re giving us 40?? I would have probably paid for the lifetime if it was a reasonable amount and you had taken the age of the app into consideration - but 40? You didn’t. Will find a new one the same way I found this. Was a great feature too. Sad. But at the same time - other apps caught on and have been doing this function for quite some time now. You’re no longer “different” to even warrant the new fees.

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

   Doesn’t work. I could not get this to work! I went through the app looking at recipes and through Safari. Not one recipe was saved. Ridiculous.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Money Grab. Used for years, just recently got a notice they are moving to a monthly subscription model. Switching apps.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Great while it lasted. Extremely disappointed we have to now pay for the app. People who have used this app for several years should be allowed to keep what is already saved. Already deleted 30 recipes, still need to delete 30+ more. Decided it isn’t worth it. Will be taking my stuff somewhere else and deleting the app.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Switching Apps. I used to love this app, and I used it all the time for several years. However, I am switching to another recipe management app after the recent announcement that this one is moving to a monthly subscription model. What a disappointment to see the developers moving to this money-grabbing trend. I don’t love this app enough to pay for it monthly when there are a variety of other non-subscription options out there that are just as good. It’s not worth the premium pricing.

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

    Monthly Fees. Love the product. Hate the move to monthly fees. Everyone seems to feel this is the best way to monetize. I like to own software. I would prefer to buy once (or even 3-5 years at a time). So sad but I feel like I need to look for alternatives.

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

    It is a Trap. Been free forever. Then this…..After saving over 500 recipes….you start a pay service for all over 40….really?????

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

    Useless. Copies the link not the recipe. I can keep the link saved in FB and skip an extra app

14. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

    Can't log in anymore. Literally can't access account because I don't have old hardware and social media app any more. Can log in with correct login and yet still get an error that I can't access because I lack a 3rd party app. Don't need my old recipes that badly.

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

    Doesn’t work. I’ve followed the steps to share and then click on ‘Copy me that’ with the recipe not saving. Done several times as well as looked over the instructions. Nothing has been saved.

16. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Not working after iphone update. Was working up until now with the latest iphone update. I loved this app until now. I cannot even access my recipes!

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

    Doesn’t work for videos. This app honestly doesn’t work with video recipes from Facebook reels or TikTok. It consistently says “recipe not found but we saved the link.” But even the link saved does not navigate to the video you were trying to save! It says it downloads from social media, but honestly it’s not worth it.

18. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Help!. This app is the best but today on Thanksgiving morning it’s not working! Please fix it ASAP!

19. ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions

    Forces cross-site tracking for chrome. I use chrome and it’s a major pain to try to copy recipes to this app from there. They also force you to enable cross site tracking which affects online privacy, targeted advertising and selling personal information to third parties. I immediately deleted this app without ever using it.

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Videos ads ruining it all for me.. Do I have to pay for a premium version to be able to use the app now without an ad popping up five times within three minutes? I’ve used this app for years now and really loved it. Unfortunately I’m going to have to find an alternative. I pulled it up to add a recipe only for a video to fill my screen. Not once, not twice, but four times in the two minutes it took to import the video and then go to my recipes to see if it was some sort of glitch from that particular website. Nope. Another ad popped up full-screen within fifteen seconds of going to My Recipes. Guess I need to find a new app. That’s incredibly disappointing.

21. ★★★★★search fails to find what is needed

    Can't import. After reading the glowing reviews here and elsewhere, I somehow assumed I'd be able to import all the recipes I have saved on another read it later app. But it seems I can't, so the search continues...

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

    I can’t open the app. I don’t know if there’s a problem with the server I can’t open the app, please fix it

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

    Was great…not any more. Since the update two weeks ago (beginning of Nov 2022) it hasn’t worked right. The servers have been down and I can’t access any of my recipes. (Through the app or website)

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

    New update doesn’t work. I’ve always loved this app. Now I can’t open it and get to my recipes. I’m assuming it has to do with the recent update. Please fix it!!

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

    Disaster. Please do not get this app! I have been putting my most sacred recipes in this app & today they are GONE ! Don’t trust it or you’ll be without your trusted recipes .

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

    Can not get button. Used to use all the time. Now can not get button on my iPad no matter how I try. Drag and drop will not work as the instructions say because Java is not allowed that way. I have new iPad with all updates so this should not be an issue. Can not get recipes from websites or anything without button

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

    Stealing recipes. Unfortunately, the creator of this app is posting recipes that have been created by other people. So instead of giving credit to the actual person who spent time creating, cooking, photographing, writing, and posting the recipe, she gets all the credit. Not fair!

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

    How do I ask a question?. I have the app. I am new at this. Help me please. How do I take a recipe from Pinterest to “copy me that” Additionally, I do not see any way to contact “help” for particular question.

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

    Less than great. Would be great if it actually copied recipes. All it keeps saying is “we can’ t import right now.”

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

    Unable to open app. App will not open very displeased!
