I have had it for about two weeks now(so take my review with a grain of salt) and I have tried to make a few of the recipes. But it’s difficult to translate some of the items into items available in my local store here in the US. Back bacon for example, I’ve googled the heck out of it and shopped around with no luck. And I totally misunderstood what was meant by loose white potatoes(I figured maybe baby Yukon Gold potatoes) and there are many other examples in just the first set of recipes I choose to try to make.

It also is not very easy to actually see the actual recipe so I was surprised when you use the potatoes to basically make mashed potatoes(obviously they meant what we call russet potatoes).

To me, this app still has a long way to go before it works for most American households.

I admit I am a USA user… so there are some things I am willing to put up with/deal with myself. What least me to my less stellar review however is the fact that the calendar does not go back more than a week. I use this app for shopping and packs are where it is at, however it defaults (I found it was a setting like 10mins ago sry) to starting each week on a Monday… and I do not do my weekly shop till Thursday. Sometimes I get lazy and let cooking slide a day or 2 which is fine. Except when the weeks don’t match up and my listed pack goes poof because what was “last week” is now 2 weeks ago according to the app. App doesn’t store things you don’t check off that you cooked (also that list infinity scrolls through everything you have cooked multiple times until you realise what it is doing… so frustrating) and there is a way to save things that I would like to cook… but apparently that is a seperate process from selecting a menu/pack whatever. Now I’m hungry on a weeknight and having to scroll through all the salmon recipes on the site to find the one I happened to include from the pack, but didn’t cook THAT dish. Not saving me time or money or saving food waste ( I’m not really a fish person and am not going to use this otherwise).

I love these guys. They’re great and I watched each video every week. I thought I’d try this app out. While it has some great ideas, it needs LOTS of work to be able to compete with other similar apps that do it much better.

It’s pretty user friendly, but still can be hard to find things. The biggest issue between this app and others, it doesn’t give you the option to put dietary issues. I cannot have anything lactose and don’t want any recipes that include it. I tried looking for many ways to find options to show me things without dairy in it, but I could not find anything. And not just for lactose free, if you have any dietary issues, I could not find a way to put so.

Unfortunately, there are similar apps that do this far better. And they tend to start with asking about any dietary issues you may have, so it can upload recipe’s immediately for your dietary needs. If they can make this more user friendly and give you options for dietary issues, I may come back and try it again in the future. But for now, this needs some major work.
