Lots on offer but doesn’t seem well suited for those with limited equipment

I like how much variety there is in recipes and look forward to making my first dish, however from my first use I can already tell there is an issue with filtering options. While the app is great at recognising food intolerances or preferences etc, it seems impossible to search for dishes by equipment. Many of the dishes I’m being suggested or seeing require stoves or ovens, which I don’t have, but I don’t see information on how to adjust the recipe for different equipment (eg an airfryer or slow cooker ), nor can I filter the search engine or Home Screen by equipment. As such, it’s very hard to find dishes that I will be able to make without having to guess how to do it, which was what I was trying to avoid in the first place. I think fixing this gap could be a very easy and useful update to the app and I really hope they implement it.
The Cookbook of the Future

Most important thing first, the recipes are beautiful and walk that fine line between being both flavourful while also healthy and balanced. The app is very well laid out, where just browsing for next weeks meals is a treat, not a chore. The ingredients list is clean and organised so it makes racing round the supermarket an absolute doddle. For what is 5 pounds a month, I’m probably saving 10x that minimum in reduced food waste and eating far less takeaway. Never mind the time saving of not spending 1/2 hours in meal planning each weekend. I’ve ended up sharing the app with family and friends, and being able to share the fav recipes with each other adds another dimension to it as well. I’ve always been a foodie, and tend to skip the full detailed recipe breakdowns as I don’t need to worry. But being able to put a recipe in front of someone who doesn’t like/know how to cook, and see them go through the step by step guides with the pictures, and then come out with a plate of food to a standard they have never cooked before is quite something. And I’m still learning new techniques and styles I would never have tried before! The app has so much scope in the future for people to start uploading and sharing their own recipes, and I really hope they develop out the social media aspect of the app so people can build their own cookbooks in the app and share them. But this app is already worth it 10 times over.Ps, Jamie Currie’s salads are an absolute joy.
Life-changing app
amystonecold
We’ve been using this app for a couple of weeks now, and I can truly say it’s one of the only apps that’s exceeded my expectations! So many food or planning apps promise all sorts but there’s not much beneath the bonnet. This is different. The recipes are all delicious, easy to follow, and quick. Cooking something different yet simple to make every night has made meal prep a joy, not a chore. So we spend less on takeaways and eating out, and eat more healthily too! Plus the formula of 3 meals made with similar ingredients is a game-changer; so much less food waste and very satisfying to use everything up. Can’t recommend this app more! My only suggestion for improvement would be more flexibility - if plans change and we don’t finish a whole pack in one week, it would be great to roll over the extra recipe without the ingredients appearing in the shopping list (as we would already have them).
Amazing App and Brilliant Food!!
Alph9400
The app itself works brilliantly, I’ve not had any bugs or glitches whilst using it. The food options are great having 2 new meal packs each week with a wide variety of food choice available. Overall I’m glad I signed up as it definitely makes planning my weekly meals hassle free. The only reason I didn’t give this app 5 stars is purely due to my personal situation, I would love it if the meals came with total calorie, protein, carb and fat intake, this would help me with some more informed choices when going for certain meals. The last point I made doesn’t take away that overall this is a great app, has helped me prep my meals for the week alongside reducing any food waste I previously had when cooking during the week. Amazing app and really well done sorted food for making it fresh and new every week.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for your review and feedback!! Means a lot to us:)) We are very glad you are enjoying the Sidekick app
We’ve fixed a few bugs and made a big upgrade to search.
It’s now smarter at understanding what you mean, not just what you type - so whether you search by ingredient, cuisine, or a rough idea of what you fancy, you’ll get more relevant recipes, faster.
