First, the file size of this app is already a major plus, only around 13mb at the time I’m writing this. I was looking for something that offered an easy way to find recipes based on what I already have in my pantry, so that nothing goes to waste. It might take some time to search through everything and list ingredients, but the voice search allows you to do multiple ingredients all at once, and it lists lots of essential ingredients that only needs a quick tap. The search function and available ingredients list in the results is also very helpful. After adding everything it gets even easier with the ability to filter recipes by max ingredients, one missing item you might need to shop for, keyword/phrase (such as instant pot, slow cooker, or microwave), and other options. You can favorite recipes if you sign up, the account is free. Seems like it’s not subscription based which is amazing. No ads as far as I can tell. This has made food prepping and saving money much easier. Thank you for such an awesome and free resource! I love it. Please continue to offer this for free, and if it was necessary to include ads at the bottom, I honestly wouldn’t mind.The only bug/critique is that sometimes if you exit from the voice search for ingredients, the app freezes, can’t refresh. Other than that, it’s 5 stars all the way!

This is one of my favorite apps! It’s so simple to use, just scroll through the ‘pantry’ while standing in front of your real pantry and tap everything you’ve got on hand. My kitchen is quite small, so I keep a lot of food in my garage. I used to hand write everything I had out there and keep it taped to my fridge inside, this app eliminates so much hassle!I love that I can search recipes by ingredient, by meal type, etc. I even learned last night that I can filter to include multiple ingredients I have on hand, like ‘chicken’ ‘black beans’ and ‘rice’ instead of just ‘chicken’ and scrolling hoping for a black bean dish.The only thing that would make this app better would be if there were a way to have a ‘menu’ section - I know there’s one called menu, but it’s just the list of all the potential recipes you could make. What I would like is the ability to tag recipes, and have them show up in the menu section - much like the little heart sends them to favorites. I’d like if I could ‘favorite’ tried and true recipes to quickly find them, but also to tag some of them into a menu section for planning meals for the week. An additional feature could be that when you add recipes to the menu section, if two recipes use a same ingredient, you’d get an ‘are you sure?’ prompt - so you don’t accidentally plan out two meals using your singular box of pasta shells or whatever.

I’d heard of people cleaning out the vacation house fridge with only the ingredients on hand the night before going home. Got me thinking “hey, maybe there’s an app for that!” Of course there is. I like to cook and keep a lot of weird staples on hand, but I’m not creative enough to mash them together or have the time to search a gazillion websites. Found this app, checked off my 113 odd ingredients coming up with 26k recipe options across so many cultures. I was amazed. Found some great dishes to make then went shopping. A few more ingredients and it’s up to 61k recipes. Last night I made a cabbage “roll” casserole, and a mug cake for dessert, both were so yummy. When that’s gone I’m making pork fried rice and an instant pot cheesecake. I suggested this app to a few coworkers & my ex husband, they all love it! You can search dishes, it shows you what ingredients you’re missing to expand your search too. I haven’t used any other features. It’s a free app. Definitely a win!

I’m giving this app 1 star because it lost all of my data. One day I logged in and my pantry was empty and my saved recipes were gone. From reading other reviews I see this is a fairly common issue with this app. Obviously it’s impossible to rely on an app that treats your data so poorly that they can lose it so easily. If not for that I would have loved to give this app 5 stars as the premise is very promising but it had a few other issues that would have prevented me from doing so. First the number of recipes, while very large, seems to be missing a lot of recipes that come up first when I search on google for something simple like, for example, “pizza recipe” or “ninja foodi recipes”. Second the default ordering of recipes is to sort by those that you have the most ingredients for. I would much rather have the option to sort by those with the highest number of reviews. You can filter by rating which is great but the top recipes shown are often those with 1 or 2 ratings and therefor not very reliable. If you could couple that with the ability to sort or filter by number of ratings it would become very powerful. Third, sometimes it got the ingredients wrong - it would, at times, both think I had something I did not and think I did not have something I did. For example, it might think I have almond butter because I have almonds and butter. Or, conversely, think I have almonds and butter if I have almond butter.If it wasn’t for the data loss I would give this app 3 stars with its current functionality but would raise my rating to 5 with a few improvements. The data loss, unfortunately, renders the app unusable and it deserves no stars at all.
