Deliciously Ella: Feel Better Reviews

So much love and respect for Ella and the team for creating this goldmine of an app - it’s a joy to use and I wouldn’t ever be without it! Seriously so affordable, and so packed with delicious and nutritious recipes...I’ve never encountered one I don’t love! (I’m even able to blow away my non-vegan boyfriend with the amazing taste and flavors of these meals. Yeah plant power!! 🥑)

Only thing I would love to see that would help with navigating DeliciouslyElla a bit more effortlessly would be to have a way to access your ‘favorited’ yoga sessions, as there are some I like to return to frequently but there isn't a way to search for them or get to them other than scrolling down through the long list. It might also be nice to be able to search yoga by additional tags like ‘morning’ or ‘bedtime’ etc in addition to the ones already in the filter. Just some thoughts! ❤️

Also, I’m super excited too that meditations are getting added now in 2020!! There is so much value in this membership, it’s the full package for wellness and it just keeps growing.

Thanks again Deliciously Ella team for this beautiful, powerful, purposeful app. You’re helping this girl live her best life every day!!! 💗🌱🧘🏻‍♀️☀️

I love the recipes in DeliciouslyElla so far! They look delicious! :) However, it would be great if we could build meals for the upcoming week at least two weeks out. Right now, it only allows 7 days out, which is so inconvenient because I have to figure out ingredients and need more time to plan out my grocery shopping and meal prep day. Secondly, while planning the meal for two weeks out, it would be great if we could select recipes based on how many types of vegetables we need reach 30. So allow choosing from any recipe and build the list with recommendations to achieve 30 veggies. I hope these changes get implemented soon! That would make DeliciouslyElla incredible :) thanks!!

Ok here are my fave things:
1. The price!! Meal planning, workouts, recipes, meditation and more for under $15 for the year? Yes please.
2. The workouts! I love the variety and the teachers, they are so good and I’ve discovered some new ways to work out that I never tried before.
3. The WELLNESS aspect of DeliciouslyElla . This isn’t an app to count calories, this is an app to feel WHOLE and nourished by the food you eat, the way you move, how you sleep and hydrate!!
4. I also really appreciate the simple and way to make recipes, I wish the instructions were a little bit more thorough but they always turn out delicious! Ha, didn’t mean to have a pun there oh well.

I am seriously in love with DeliciouslyElla! The recipes are amazing. I was somewhat intimidated by plant based eating at first, I knew I really wanted to do it but didn’t know how. It took me some time to find the right tool that worked for me, then I found DeliciouslyElla. I started buying ingredients to make the recipes and noticed that very soon it was saving me money and I was feeling amazing!! So worth the investment. Now when I go to try a new recipe I have most of the ingredients as staples already:) This is my favorite app on my phone, meal planning and shopping is so easy, exercise videos, wellness tips and tracking. It’s seriously the best! Everything in one place! Thank you Ella!

I cannot express enough how much I love the recipes and wellness content! It truly has had a positive impact in my life and I’m noticing how much I am changing. I am FEELING mentally and physically better.

However, I feel like the user experience can improve. I particularly struggle with the meal planner. I cannot easily go back to the meal planner to see another recipe unless I have to click again on the meal planner button. Also, the shopping list has not been calculating the ingredients correctly. And lastly, this is a nice to have, but I would love to have meal planner more accessible on DeliciouslyElla instead of having to go to recipes and scroll all the way down.

Love DeliciouslyElla— beautiful interface, logical design, handy features, and great recipes. Haven’t tried the yoga yet but love the combo of veggie forward and yoga in one place. ONLY feedback is: sometimes the recipe list is missing an ingredient which later shows up in the directions. Has happened twice now. Not a huge deal but tricky because when it says “add the coriander” but the ingredients list doesn’t has any coriander, you don’t know how much (or if you’re me, you didn’t buy it). All in all, a lovely app!

Developers: if you read this, the recipes missing ingredients are the cleanse green soup and the roasted chickpea and cauliflower 😉

Love DeliciouslyElla ! I love how it’s so organized and easy to find recipes based on categories. I also love the variety of recipes there are and the article about the different substitutions you can/cannot make. I do wish that the substitutions article were more handy though so that I do not have to go searching for it. I only gave it 4 stars because I really wish there were non-convection (conventional) oven temperatures shown also. I’ve made several (mostly dessert) recipes and most of them do not cook completely through even when I look up a conversion chart for the convection to conventional oven temperatures.

I wanted to go vegetarian. I didn’t know where to start. I have a basic background of cooking, which is helpful when you need to make small changes. Sometimes I put milk instead of almond milk. Sometimes I put almond milk instead of yogurt. Honestly DeliciouslyElla was a godsend for me to transition into a vegetarian. Made my life so easy because these recipes are FANTASTIC. Soooo good, I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything, and my hubby who is not a veg loves these meals too. The awesome pet, a lot of this is very meal prep friendly. Honestly so thankful for DeliciouslyElla, it’s worth the few bucks a week.

I’m quite disappointed with DeliciouslyElla . There is no real substance behind it. Improvements could be made to
1) recipes - building out the “method” a little more so users understand what their meal should look like at each step. One way to do this would be to add videos or pictures. And jsit adding a bit more personality behind the instructions. After all you are capitalising on the Ella brand; however their is no character here. There are many FREE blogs with recipes that provide more thoughtful recipes than this. I would suggest you all check out Alison Roman, NYT Cooking, Smitten Kitchen, and holy cow vegan

2) introduce a community aspect - there are no options for users to comment on recipes, workouts, etc. What if my child is allergic to aubergine and I would like to substitute it with another ingredient. Being able to search comments for other users who had similar issues, would be so helpful

3) Ux - a bit disappointing that this mimics Apple Watch..I will use my Apple Watch instead since there’s more functionality there

Great ideas on DeliciouslyElla but I do hope there are many improvements to come, especially given the pricing.

I’ve used DeliciouslyElla for years and it just keeps getting better. The team behind DeliciouslyElla obviously puts a lot of thought and care into it!
My favorite features are the sleep meditations, I use them most nights. Recipes are good, especially for beginner cooks. If you are a more experienced cook you can use them as a base and make some tweaks.
Fitness classes are great. I usually do the Pilates classes and sometimes yoga. I haven’t tried the others yet.
Thank you to the DE team for putting this together so nicely. I use DeliciouslyElla one way or another every day!

Love, love, love DeliciouslyElla ! Well planned tracker, informative podcasts, delicious recipes and great advice all in one location. Thrilled that it is tied to my Apple health tracker for my Apple Watch. Great incentives to change up your workout routine- or get you going when you’ve lapsed in your routine. My health conscious daughter now has her own account and we share with each other things we find on DeliciouslyElla . Tech support is super friendly and fast. I can’t say enough good things about DeliciouslyElla. What a great tool for a busy life. Thank you!

Deliciously Ella has been a huge support in maintaining a plant based lifestyle for me for years now. I find DeliciouslyElla is a cookbook I can take on the go, and place to relisten to podcasts and now I can take another step I’ve been dreaming of making in beginning to exercise through the videos. The fact that all this and more is housed in one place is like having a friend at the tips of your fingers. The support has upgraded the quality of my life in the most natural and effortless way ♥️.

Ok DeliciouslyElla is amazing. I am already in love with her cookbook. But DeliciouslyElla is topping it all. You don’t just have over 500+ plant based deliciousness infront of you but you can create shareable shopping lists and meal plans. As well as have access to some great content podcasts, yoga, Pilates, meditation, strength, cardio and other workouts. You can add personal notes to each recipe, like I need to do ‚easy on the lemon‘ 😅 as a reminder for next time.

This is the best VEGAN Body Mind and Soul lifestyle app, that’s out there and totally worth it.

Go get it!

I never pay for apps, but trust me when I say that this is one that’s worth paying (a very small amount!) for. DeliciouslyElla has hundreds of delicious recipes, workouts, meditations, and even a wellness tracker. Everything is updated regularly, so you’ll never run out of workout/cooking inspiration. DeliciouslyElla makes building better habits easy, accessible and enjoyable—cannot recommend it enough! Well done to the Deliciously Ella team.

I’m not sure I’ve ever bothered to write a review for an app yet, but I absolutely adore Deliciously Ella. I’ve told so many friends about it. Ella and Matthew host WONDERFUL podcasts that I find myself sharing regularly, which really give insight into self-care and yummy food. Can’t recommend it highly enough. DeliciouslyElla is a joy to use, I even began using it as my main shopping list — mostly because it’s not just very functional, but pretty, and helps make eating healthy food exciting and fresh. Thanks, guys! x

For one, what is the paid subscription... only 99 cents but still, there was no indication when downloading DeliciouslyElla . Then you do the month free trial and actually are able to see DeliciouslyElla and it’s all over the place. You can tell this is someone’s passion project because they clearly didn’t hire a designer. The user experience is horrible and the how to get around DeliciouslyElla page is wordy and confusing. The user experience and user interface of DeliciouslyElla create something that is hard to use, hard to read because of the unnecessary details in the background, and makes you want to go back to google (which is free) immediately. Invest the monthly subscription back into DeliciouslyElla and do yourself some good and hire a ux/ui designer.

Let me start by saying we’ve purchased a subscription. We’ve made about 13 recipes from DeliciouslyElla now and of those only one or two were easy to follow . The recipes were the whole reason we purchased a subscription in the first place. However they are not clear enough to replicate the dish accurately. Sometime ingredients list doesn’t agree with the steps, it’s missing ingredients or changes the type of ingredient.

Overall my wife and I are pretty dissatisfied, and would prefer a refund. I definitely will not continue the with the subscription.

I’ve been in touch with the DE team regarding this and have had some replies with suggestions to make the yoga videos work again, but replies have been slow and nothing has worked so far. It worked fine before I signed up for the yearly subscription and now they just have a loading spinning circle on all the videos and will not play. I’ve tried being in Wi-Fi and not, tried deleting and reinstalling to no avail. Very disappointing as the yoga was one of the main reasons I subscribed to DeliciouslyElla in the first place

I’ve definitely reviewed DeliciouslyElla before and happy to say I’ve been following Ella’s journey for a few years now. When I heard on the podcast last week that these new videos would be added I was SO excited. DeliciouslyElla is the ONLY thing I use for guided yoga and meditation and it has been a HUGE help during the pandemic particularly. I was seriously so ecstatic that the range is now wider and the new instructors are awesome. Love it!!!!

I’m not vegan, but I enjoy the recipes I have tried. I can usually convert pretty easily at this point, though it was tricky at first! I have lots of favorite recipes that I go back to. The yoga/wellness section takes DeliciouslyElla over the top! I just love that they are always adding new content, videos meditation. It’s an awesome deal for what you pay per month. I would say I use it once a day at least!

The aesthetic‘s on DeliciouslyElla are beyond amazing. It’s so beautiful. That’s really important to me, if I’m using an app I don’t want it to be ugly, cumbersome and confusing. It’s very easy to navigate, and there’s always so many new cool things to try.
You can save Recipes 🌱 as your favorites so they are easy to find.
There’s also yoga classes, Podcasts, articles and shop. It’s only $.99 a month..and very worth it.✨✨

My favorite. I love that I can find delicious, easy to make plant-based recipes, yoga to stretch with while traveling and positive ideas and views through their podcast (the best). The content is updated frequently so there are lots of new things to find. The care and thought put into DeliciouslyElla is wonderful and you can sense their enthusiasm for eating and living well.

Love having healthy recipes at my fingertips.

I like the grouping of the items on the shopping list, but I would like to be able to choose to see the entire list together without clicking on each group.

Would be great to be able to search recipes by ingredient. For example in this weeks veg box I have a turnip and I would like to search by the word turnip and get a list of recipes that would allow me to use this vegetable.

It would be great to be able to use the yoga offline. My gym doesn't have WiFi so I can only do the yoga sequences at home and it would be great to be able to download for offline use at the gym.

Thanks for DeliciouslyElla . Loving the recipes and it's value to my healthy eating journey.

I really love the idea of DeliciouslyElla and the concept of incorporating yoga with the healthy recipes.

I was a bit hesitant about paying for an app monthly but decided to give it a go with the free week. I had a craving for spring rolls and the fresh summer rolls looked amazing! I added the ingredients to my shopping list, but found out that all of the ingredients needed weren’t listed on the ingredients page and therefore didn’t get transferred to my shopping list.

On of the big draws for me was getting my meal planning done in one spot with the shopping list all set to go. This seems like a problem with quite a few recipes so I’ll cancel after the free week and check back in after a few months.

I have high hopes for DeliciouslyElla!

I love the recipes and have followed her on Instagram for years. However, I dislike the way the recipes are laid out here. It’s cumbersome to have to go to a different tab for the ingredients and then again for the directions. Life is busy. I don’t have time for extra steps. When I see something that looks good I want it all in one place.

Love the brand, people behind it and app!!
Some improvement opportunities:
1. Horizontal mode (for iPad use)
2. Podcast side (adding a skip/ rewind 20second button). This will improve the podcast listening experience.

App of the day????
NOPE, Sorry!!!
App of about two minutes.🙄
That’s what it took for me to dump this.

DeliciouslyElla sounded great. I installed, and was excited to poke about and see if it would be something I’d use. Immediately, you are trapped into a “free” trial for seven days. This includes automatic subscription if you fail to cancel, so be aware of THAT!! You cannot even get past the first screen to check this thing out without subbing. I hate playing that game.
Developers: Let potential customers check it out, even if it’s a limited few recipes, or SOMETHING. You lost a possible sale as I just don’t play those subscribemeandtrytogetoutofitlater games!!! I removed DeliciouslyElla straightaway. It’s too bad.

DeliciouslyElla might be good, but I can’t tell because you can’t use it without an account, and it doesn’t let you create an account.

I guess you have to do that on a website somewhere. Which means I’ll have to do a search for the website because DeliciouslyElla doesn’t tell you where that might be either.

Strange.

Such a great app! All delicious recipes and I love that there’s yoga vids for everything - from waking up in the morning to wiggling out the day after work. Thanks Ella and Matt!

I paid years ago for access to DeliciouslyElla and have used it off and on for access to Ella’s amazing recipes. I am very disappointed to see that now DeliciouslyElla is a weekly subscription and my prior purchase is invalid.

Wow where to start, DeliciouslyElla opens and you’re greeted with an autoplay that plays sound even if your phone is on mute! Additionally, you’re only presented with options to give them money and no ability to explore what’s offered first. Terrible for users, terrible for customers. Some of the worst UX I’ve experienced on an iOS app.
