Healthy CrockPot Recipes Reviews

HealthyCrockPotRecipes used to be so awesome when I first downloaded it about 3 years ago when it was just me and my 2 kids. After moving to Texas, I stopped using it because of bbq’s and eating out. Now that I am settled into my new home, I decided to open the ol’ recipe app and to my amaze. Ads, ads and more ads! Rate HealthyCrockPotRecipes to unlock 5 star recipes, pay $18/yr for unlimited everything... blah blah blah.. why can we not make it to where people can upload their own recipes for a small fee and for others to use for free? I understand that some developers need the money for updates & upgrades but come on.. one touch of the finger & an ad pops up. Click the “X”, one scroll down & you guessed it, yup, another ad. Frustrating to see what was once such a great app turn into this.

I was searching for good recipe apps and came across this and thought hey, this would be good for lazy days when I don’t feel like having to pay attention while food cooks. So i downloaded HealthyCrockPotRecipes and was highly disappointed. I can’t even pull a single recipe or look through a catalog of them because I’m blocked by a huge subscribe screen without any way to make it go away. From looking at the apps page and reading everything it sounded like it had a free version that was supported by ads because it mentioned if you paid for a subscription it would remove them. I wouldn’t even recommend downloading it unless you plan to subscribe to it because otherwise it’s a waste of data from your plan.

When you open HealthyCrockPotRecipes and browse recipes half of them are “locked” and say “Click to unlock for FREE!” When you do, a dialog box comes up saying the recipes will be unlocked in exchange for a review. So they’re basically being held hostage in return for promotion. I resent this sleazy nonsense, so I decided to take them up on the offer and write an honest review.
Funny thing is, HealthyCrockPotRecipes is so badly made, it fails to take you to the AppStore to leave the review, so there’s no way to unlock the recipes even if you want to.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Other gems that highlight the care and attention to detail put into HealthyCrockPotRecipes are a quick perusal of the categories listed under the “More” tab. Which include: “Contactus”, “Desclaimer”, and “Resotre Purchase”.
Nailed it.

Not even a minute into browsing for recipes, I came across “unlock” categories in exchange for a review.. If you accept the pop-up, it will attempt to redirect you to HealthyCrockPotRecipes catalog page *within HealthyCrockPotRecipes itself* which led to a blank page that never loaded.. and then HealthyCrockPotRecipes crashed. (Directly from App Store, submitted review, and it did unlock additional recipes)

Stay tuned for update on the actual UXUI & contents...

ps: get ready for lots & LOTS of disruptive timed ads with a countdown that you can’t exit - before loading any recipe (and even trying to return to main home screen)

designed to annoy & wear you down, until you give in to the pro (ad free) upgrade 🙄

first, silent ads promoting other app games (pop bubbles), now it’s ad videos, and when you click into the Favorites folder, another “upgrade” popup.
I realized you can only save 5 favorites. Deleting. All recipes can be found online & was just an API the developer pulled from somewhere.

I was excited to finally be able to have recipes so as to finally use my crockpot but you can barely read a few words before an ad pops up nor literally move your finger or click on anything without an ad popping up. It didn’t take longer than 2 ads for my to delete HealthyCrockPotRecipes . I don’t think i even got through to reading 1 full recipe. I’d rather search online for recipes than have to deal with a gazillion ads for each recipe and ingredient list. Too bad the ads didn’t give me a better chance to actually look through HealthyCrockPotRecipes . If your willing to spend money (which as a college student I cannot) then HealthyCrockPotRecipes is for you, if not just use google.

Usually, I'm not really deep into the free app rather than hard-copied cookbooks, but HealthyCrockPotRecipes is absolutely amazing! I've un-freeze yesterday but don't know what to cook. As remembering that I've downloaded HealthyCrockPotRecipes for several days but haven't tried it out, so I just give it a try and it turns out to be freaking awesome. It is organized by beef, pork, or chicken with a hundred recipes for each categories, which is really convenient. HealthyCrockPotRecipes totally got my heart.

As you will read in other comments you have to rate HealthyCrockPotRecipes in order to gain access to all of the recipes. I don't know if any of you have downloaded other apps, but i would rather rate HealthyCrockPotRecipes and get access instead of having to pay like most apps make you do. Besides, it's all about the money. The more reviews the higher HealthyCrockPotRecipes will be ranked and the more money they'll rank.

OVERALL it's a great app with great recipes. Plenty to try!

**Update: After giving HealthyCrockPotRecipes a couple of days (I wanted to give it some time to load the recipes), I can now see recipes! I will try a few recipes but HealthyCrockPotRecipes looks great from skimming through it!**

The setup looks nice. However, there are no recipes available when I opened HealthyCrockPotRecipes . I read some reviews that said you have to write a review first so I am trying this now. I will update the review once I can actually see and try recipes.

The recipes look really good, and I like the layout of the recipes as well.
The issue is with HealthyCrockPotRecipes itself though. Constant ads pop up with every different thing you push. Infuriating. The fact that you can only save 5 meals to your favorites is bogus. I know the idea is to make you pay for ad-free viewing or whatever but at this point I just want to throw HealthyCrockPotRecipes in a furnace then collect the ashes just to drop it in the bottom of the deepest darkest parts of the ocean, never to be seen again.
At least the food looks good though..

So many great foods are cooked slow. Less stressed people let the crockpot do the cooking. What I have found are hundreds of great recipes. I can prep most of them and freeze what I prep. At a later time I can quickly put everything into the pot and walk away. Many of the soups you can make and freeze for use at a later date. So many great ideas and the options to do it your way.

If you want to unlock the things, read this. If it take you to write a review don't do it just read one of another person review. Then go back to HealthyCrockPotRecipes and it will be unlock trust me you are reading and 9 year old review.. I want to be a chef when I grow up, how about you?. Plz tumps up. Btw I tried this already right now and it work soooo what are you waiting for.. GO DO IT!!😃

In order to get to recipes you must leave a review first. A bit messed up considering its hard to rate something you haven't truly been able to use. I guest it helps with the review count however. It looks to be a nice functioning app from what iv seen. Will update review once I actually use a couple recipes and see what's available.

Love the recipes but I purchased the upgrade to premium but no premium access was granted. Checked and confirmation I am subscribed and was billed for the premium cost yet still locked out of premium recipes and adds every 2 seconds.. tried the contact us option in settings 100 times.. app crashes every time or I get an error message telling me to try again later! My iPhone is updated so not sure the issue… deleted app and re added and still didn’t fix it. Not impressed and want a refund.

I get ads on free apps, but this one will bombard you with so many, you won’t be able to access any content. Be prepared to watch 3 ads every time to select a recipe. When trying to switch between categories, so many ads were popping up I literally could not choose another category until I closed out HealthyCrockPotRecipes .
Also, need the ability to search or select multiple categories or ingredients. For example, I can search chicken recipes or Mexican recipes; but cannot search for Mexican chicken recipes.

I just downloaded HealthyCrockPotRecipes and every time I clicked on a recipe, 2 advertisements would pop up. When I hit the back arrows, 2 advertisements would pop up. Every time I did anything on HealthyCrockPotRecipes, advertisements would pop up. Talk about extremely irritating and annoying. I’ve never dealt with a free app with so many advertisements. I was really excited about HealthyCrockPotRecipes with all the crock pot recipes but I don’t think I want to deal with this every time I use it, so I’ll be uninstalling it.

As a full time camper I use my crockpot at least 4 times a week. I am always looking for recipes and HealthyCrockPotRecipes provides me with a huge variety of recipes that gives me versatility so I'm not cooking the same dishes over and over.
I am however a bit frustrated when I purchased the no ad and the ability to mark my favorites it has been removed and now am dealing with advertisements and the inability to mark my favorites.

Would be amazing and awesome if it didn’t crash from the overload of advertisements after every time I click on something to see if I wanted to buy the actual app but because they play pop up games after every finger click and swipe I’ll be passing on HealthyCrockPotRecipes due to that fact that I could only see one recipe before being attacked by pop up advertisement pushing me to purchase the ad free app

Like the way there are categories to narrow the search. Great recipes.
However: Nutrition information is always appreciated to help with sugar, fats, cholesterol, sodium, etc. so miss the cholesterol portion. Also would like to print but is set up so the prep is on a different screen as is nutrition. Have to print three separate pages. Not convenient at all to save recipes.

I’ve had HealthyCrockPotRecipes for nearly a year but only use it when I’m feeling spontaneous and in need of fresh ideas. I seen a recipe that I’ve tried and not liked. I mainly use HealthyCrockPotRecipes for chicken and beef crockpot meals. It’s worth the download.

Was very interested in HealthyCrockPotRecipes, but as soon as I opened HealthyCrockPotRecipes , and WHILE trying to FIND, yes, FIND my FIRST recipe - I was assaulted with rate our app, and then buy our app, and as soon as I declined to buy, as I hadn’t even found my FIRST recipe, then the Barrage of pop up ads came. And these aren’t the small ones, these are screen filling ads. And they are constant. Not occasional. Constant.
Summary: You are constantly assaulted with either buy HealthyCrockPotRecipes or we’re going to assault you with a flood of screen filling ads.
Ridiculous. Good Bye.

I tapped on one link and was asked to review HealthyCrockPotRecipes . I closed that a couple times and had the advertisements pop up about 5 times and the “x” doesn’t seem to work right away so you have to look at the advertisements for a few seconds until it does work. So here’s the review so far. Calm the advertisements down. I’m much more likely to delete an annoying free app than I am to pay for it.

Down to a one star now.

I rated HealthyCrockPotRecipes . Why are you asking again?

HealthyCrockPotRecipes seemed like it had some great recipes, but oh my god the pop up ads are non stop! How annoying! Within 5 minutes of searching recipes, I must have had at least 10 things pop up. First they ask for a review, over & over & over (hey, you got it!) then it starts in with the ads, one for a video game (seriously? I’m trying to find crock pot recipes, you think I care about the latest video game??) All this is not worth it to find some recipes.

HealthyCrockPotRecipes appears to have many dishes available however, I do not like the pop up ads which tends to be very annoying. I just got HealthyCrockPotRecipes and have not made a meal yet. I will update review if I can stand the pop up ads long enough to make a dish.
