Fresco - Smart, Guided Cooking is praised for its wide variety of recipes, user-friendly design, and seamless integration with smart kitchen appliances, helping users cook easily and stay organized. However, multiple users report connectivity problems with Drop scales on Samsung/Android devices and app crashes with certain ovens. Vegetarians seeking Instant Pot recipes find limited options. Overall, the app is appreciated for recipe quality and appliance integration but faces technical issues especially regarding device compatibility and support.

Seems that samsung devices can't connect to drop scales? Apple devices work just fine. This app is still amazing, and I've made delicious food that I love on this app. I just wish drop scales could connect to a range of devices instead of only Apple products.

The drop scale doesn't stay connected it blinks and the app shows its connecting and then it just says disconnected, I can't find any information online for trouble shooting it either and I'm not sure how to tell if it's just the battery needs to be replaced

A lot of recipes, many for vegetarians. I like the substitution ability of some recipes.

I found out about this app through a show on Prime about Irish innovations/innovators. I was so impressed & intrigued by it's concept of exploring recipes, simple choice options, exposure to different chefs with resources to healthier eating. Thank you for this cool app that helps to create the shopping list, gives guidance, steps to accomplish recipes and more. Thanks, again!

New to the instant pot. Needed some recipes and found this very eAsy to follow. Haven't used a whole lot yet but so far the few I have used I loved. Not to fancy of recipes, most ingredients I already have. So far so good.

Not much use if you have instant pot and a vegetarian. Every recipe was for chicken.
