“What a Joke — Most of these recipes are weird save yourself time and just follow a content creator on YouTube and you’ll get better recipes.”
“Vile — These recipes are outlandish impractical and truly revolting. The creators should face jail time for taking up valuable internet space with this culinary garbage.”
“Full of bad cooking techniques. — The cooking techniques in here are pure clickbait and have little use in real life unless you want to make parodies of food that are all about calories and excess instead of flavor, skill, taste or technique.”
Paywall restrictions and deceptive free access
Users feel misled by the app's 'free' model, which severely limits access to content unless paying monthly or annually.

“App is two sided likeness — First I do like it as I can get ideas but if I want access to the recipes I need to pay $2 a month or $18 a year to access the recipes it is a little sneaky so I like and dislike it”
“Doesn’t work on iPhone 11 Pro. — It would be an awesome app if only it worked.”
