## Review summary

Users praise the app’s recipe variety, ease of use, and handy organization features, including automatic shopping lists and notes from others. However, repeatedly mentioned issues include surprise charges and deceptive pricing, frequent server errors and glitches, and problems saving or managing personal recipes (lost drafts, failed saves). Privacy concerns over data requests (such as contacts) and the need to pay to access saved content are also common complaints. Overall, strong content and usability are offset by reliability and pricing concerns.

- Easy-to-use interface with appealing visuals
- Good organization for saved recipes (folders, drafts, My Collection)

- Useful for discovering new recipes and reading other users' notes

### Cons

- Hidden charges and upfront credit card requests / deceptive pricing
- Frequent server errors and app instability
- Saving/organizing personal recipes unreliable (lost drafts, failed saves)
- Privacy concerns over data requests (contacts) and data collection
- Access to saved recipes can be blocked without paying / requires subscription
