CREME = Create Memories 12+

Best Cooking App EVER!! (Plus one feature request)

I love the community aspect of this app and how the videos repeat each step, that way I can keep it playing until I’m done with that step. The app is beautiful and satisfying to use, so much so that I use more often when I’m NOT cooking than when I am cooking. It’s that fun to use and browse.

✨ FEATURE REQUEST ✨

This app has a grocery tab to add ingredients from recipes you find within the app, but doesn’t give you the ability to add any individual items. You have to find a recipe that has that ingredient in it in order to add it.

It’d be awesome to be able to just click a ‘+’ button on the Grocery tab and manually type in the ingredient I need.

All in all, you NEED this app!! I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

Disappointing

I had high hopes when I downloaded this app, eager to explore its offerings. However, I was immediately disappointed to find that every recipe I clicked on required a subscription. Saying that the recipe would be available to everyone after 30 days; however, this was every single recipe I checked, so I have no inclination on what experience the app actually offers. It’s disheartening when an app claims to be free but locks the core experience behind a paywall.

I understand the need for subscriptions, but not allowing users to sample the core experience is just terrible UX, It felt like I wasn't given a fair chance to see what makes this app special. I’ve heard good things from friends, but this approach makes it hard to justify keeping the app. It’s a shame because I was excited to try it out.

Developer Response ,

We have over 2000 recipes; only the latest published recipes are exclusive to subscribers, which amounts to around 50 recipes; that means that 97.5% of all our content is free to access immediately by anyone, and 2.5% will become available within 30 days or less. You do have to create an account to view the recipes, but it’s free; you can then choose to subscribe if you want access to the latest 50-ish recipes and a few exclusive features. Maybe there was some misunderstanding, but I urge you to try again. Best!

Awesome recipes UI

Love that the recipes are broken down into step-by-step videos that you can swipe back and forth to -- it makes it a lot more fun to follow a recipe accurately compared to a standard video recipe. The video quality is also very artistic and I was able to find many of my favorite chefs on here
