I’ve been liking Zipongo a lot more then I thought I would. I originally downloaded it through my employers health rewards app. The option to “favorite” and the “tap to add to grocery list” are great to help you organize. What I’d like to see in some upcoming updates is the ability to make “multiple cookbooks” where favorited recipes can be divided up e.g. already cooked cookbook, to try later cookbook, make in the upcoming week cookbook, so far and so forth. Another feature would be the option to filter by ingredients. I know you can set some dietary preferences but being able to choose which ingredients you want to use up in your fridge would be great. So you could filter ingredients based on having wheat bread and turkey and see which recipes come up that include 1 or both. Overall I’m really liking it and hoping you guys put out more updates in the future.

I downloaded the Zipongo app a few months ago and can honestly say it has been life changing. The easy access to quick, healthy recipes has made it so much easier to cook because I can find great dinner options when I’m on my way home from work and can pick up groceries on the way. My favorite feature is probably the digital grocery list — I usually cook for myself and a friend or my boyfriend, but if I’m cooking just for myself or for a group I can just type that into the app and it adjusts the shopping list to accommodate. Highly recommend this app!

I have severe food allergies that necessitate a lot of home cooking. This app is part of an employee health plan but doesn’t work well for us on a practical level. Unfortunately my allergens are not all in the top 8 and there is no way to add ingredients to avoid. This app would be more user friendly if I could filter out recipes that won’t work for my allergies including which specific nuts are okay vs allergy issues. Ultimately I am aware I can make substitutions and source different ingredients but it somewhat defeats the purpose of having recipes at the ready when it’s easier to use a search engine to find recipes that exclude my allergens. The nutritional info would also change if I do make the substitutions making that portion of the app impractical as well.

I downloaded this App because of some points thing at my work. You earn points by downloading the app, scrolling through the recipes, favoriting a recipe, etc. I scrolled through so many recipes and could not even find one to star. They all look and sound awful. The kid friendly section recommends salmon cake with olive and dill, and broccoli chowder, along with a plethora of other suggestions that my 8 year old would probably never touch. And I don’t blame him because they don’t look or sound good to me either. To make it worse, the pictures to go with the recipes are terrible and do not make anything look appetizing. Everything looks dry, like baby vomit, or like it was made in a factory. Seriously, take a look at the tutti frutti muesli, my dog puked the other day and it looked just like this. Being ‘food smart’ does not have to be this boring.
