KptnCook Reviews

I would rate KptnCook with 5 stars but it has a couple annoying flaws. First, the extremely useful “I don’t eat” feature doesn’t actually work. Despite adding a few ingredients to that list in my profile, the daily recipes continue not just to include those ingredients, but to feature them as the main element to the recipe(s). It wouldn’t be a problem except with only 3 recipes offered per day, it becomes problematic when 2 of them regularly include an unwanted ingredient.
Second, KptnCook doesn’t seem to sync completely between devices even though I use the same login. For example, on my iPad it shows all 5 of the recipe collections I’ve made but on my phone it only shows 3, and the chosen meal plan doesn’t show up on both devices either.
That said, I absolutely love the simplicity of KptnCook (the parts that work) and the recipe layouts and photos. It’s really great that there is a portion calculator which automatically changes the ingredient quantities to match the number of portions wanted. I also really enjoy the variety of recipes offered. Although my husband and I are omnivores, I like being able to plan out the week with a majority of vegetarian dishes so I can limit our meat consumption.

KptnCook keeps giving me the tutorial over and over again.
I wish there was an option to filter out the vegetarian recipes, at least those that require eggs.
Edit: Hi Sarah! Maybe next time you respond to a review you should actually read it since you told me to do exactly what I complained about :P

Enjoying the recipes provided only a few at a time (per day) personalized to my diet preference. Love that I can save ones I’m interested in for when I’m ready to cook. The format makes it super easy to follow along and the recipes seem very doable for the most part.

Sleek design, easy handling. The version in the American Apple store has a couple of German units, like TL instead of tsp, or Zehe instead of clove (garlic). If you use KptnCook daily you will find recipes repeating, but love the idea behind it and browse for inspiration a lot

it would be perfect if there was a way to search for specific recipes. I went to start adding ingredients to my Instacart order & when I toggled back to your app it had lost the recipe & I couldn’t find it again. Bummed

But will not load anymore after the latest update last week

I have been using KptnCook for years now and it just keeps getting better in terms of design and handling. The recipes have always been super delicious. If not super delicious, some experimenting with adequate spices works wonders.
It’s part of my daily routine after I wake up to check the news, the weather and what’s new on this app.

At first I used KptnCook for myself to brag in front of friends about my cooking skills, but nowadays I can’t keep quiet about KptnCook . Now I’m bragging with how many recipes I have in my list of favorites and how many I have cooked.
I’ll keep on recommending KptnCook to friends and family.

Thanks and keep it up

I have been using KptnCook for years!! It is incredibly user-friendly. All of the directions are easily laid out in text and pictures. The price estimates from different grocery stores is very helpful when on a budget or when being aware of costs.
Every recipe I have made from KptnCook has been stellar!!
With every new update KptnCook keeps getting better. The shopping list feature is a huge time saver and is almost exclusively what I use while shopping!! The “want to cook” and “cooked” tabs are great for organizing and planning meals.
I jumped for joy when favorite meals became unlimited! In the past I paid to have extra room for favorites.

KptnCook is constantly getting better and better. And my cooking is constantly evolving with it!

I started using it to learn more vegetarian and vegan recipes. It takes a long time for them to repeat any and nearly all of them are a big win! You can save them and look at them later, and otherwise you just let them pass by.
They are easy to follow and the times they give it pretty close to how long it takes me to make them.

I use the recipes in KptnCook often, especially since the pandemic as we rarely order take out. The recipes are simple, healthy, easy to follow and beautifully presented.
KptnCook has a fun side as well. Each day one receives three new recipes, so it’s like opening a small surprise package. If one likes the look of a recipe, one can save it, otherwise it disappears but might be reintroduced at a later date.
Additionally, KptnCook takes advantage of the fact that many people already have a lot of basic cooking staples at home so there’s no need to run to the store for a exotic ingredient.
I find the recipes easy to modify as well. Thank you KptnCooks!!!!

Incredibly handy if you want to avoid repetitive dinners and always offers a great variety

Fantastic Site! I love the way all of the recipes are organized, especially within the meal plan options which include beautiful pictures of every meal. This feature just makes the recipes so very easy to choose from! In addition, the meal plan options are simple with really ingenious categories. There are just handful to choose from, so it’s an easy choice to make, but somehow there is a meal plan for almost anyone’s taste and dietary preference. It’s just so easy to navigate the site; and so beautifully designed! I love the fact that I can quickly pick a meal and add only the ingredients I need for that meal to my grocery list! Now i have all of my meals, with pictures included, organized and easily found so I no longer have to worry about meal planning whatsoever! All of the hard work is taken care of and I could choose a new meal to prepare every single day. No more getting stuck making the same meals over and over again! Thank you for this fantastic app! Truly brilliant!

I have made many recipes from KptnCook and find they are easy to follow, have normal ingredients that you can find in any grocery store, are creative and delicious.

I wish all recipes made each step as visual and easy to follow as KptnCook. I can just scroll as I go through the recipe and follow along, using both the caption with ingredients and the photo to track my progress. It filters vegetarian dishes for me, and even though I’m vegan, I still use many of the recipes as I know how to adapt them to my diet with substitutes. I love getting three new recipes to start my day. Over time you will have an entire cookbook to choose from.

First of all KptnCook is so gorgeous. Well designed. The colors are well balanced which makes you want to visit everyday.

The recipes are amazing and super easy to make. Everything is clear and fools proof. Thank you.

I love the recipes: they are simple enough to create without having to buy a ton of ingredients, but unique enough to feel fancy and fresh! No complaints other than there aren’t enough nights to try all the recipes!

I always get bored eating the same things and don’t always have the time to look through Pinterest to get inspiration. This is quick and easy and I love how you can make a shopping list directly in KptnCook with costs.

Very inspiring app. The step by step pictures helps to follow the recipe without missing any ingredients. Love that KptnCook mentions the amount of ingredient that you need to add in each step, avoiding a back and forward. The cook timer is a smart bonus! I recommend KptnCook to all my friends and family!

KptnCook is great for stimulating new dinner or lunch ideas. I get bored of the things I know how to cook so fast so this is a fun way for me to keep dinnertime from seeming routine. I like to mix and match parts of the recipes to make it more to my liking or include a meat from one recipe with a salad or grain option from another. The favorites option is cool too.

KptnCook is great ! Love the awesome free three recipes a day and having the choice of vegan or vegetarian is so so nice! Thank you! No other app like this is out there. And KptnCook is definitely worth to have. Thank you for delicious recipes and keep up the awesome work you’re all doing! Most appreciated more then you know!

I really like KptnCook and the design, but I would love to have a filter for e.g. vegan dishes only.

Yes there are only three recipes a day but they are fabulous and unique. Plus I don’t solely cook meals from KptnCook anyway. So three good ones a day is perfect. The pictures definitely help for those unsure chefs who need reassurance at every step of the recipe (me)

Thank you for providing this service.

Love everything about KptnCook. I recommend it to friends.

Thank you for having such creative yet simple and healthy recipes!!!

Where can we see all recipes in KptnCook ?

I am so glad that I came across KptnCook. They send you easy to make recipes with simple ingredients and the best part is it’s FREE!!!!

KptnCook literally gives you everything to make perfect meals!!

I have yet to see a more vibrant, inspired, simple and easy-to-follow set of recipes. I look forward every morning to see the day’s cooking adventure. Please never stop.

KptnCook makes week night cook super easy and fun. The grocery break down is an easy way to compare prices and do your meal planning ahead of time.

Great pictures and step by step instructions. It’s just a fun app to use!
