Review summary

Cooklist is praised for its comprehensive pantry management, recipe database, and grocery store integrations that help reduce waste and simplify meal planning. Users appreciate features like AI-based recipe scanning and automated pantry updates from store accounts. However, many experience technical issues such as crashes, glitches, and freezing. The subscription cost is seen as high, and the app's UI and store support have room for improvement. Some users also wish for a web interface and better customization in allergy and recipe management.

Pros

Effective pantry and inventory management that helps reduce food waste and save money.
Integration with grocery store accounts (e.g., Walmart, Amazon) to auto-update pantry items and shopping lists.
Robust recipe database with filtering based on pantry contents and dietary preferences.
Useful features for meal planning, shopping list creation, and tracking expiration dates.
AI-powered recipe scanning and adding, including handwritten recipes.

Cons

App experiences frequent glitches, crashes, and freezing issues, impacting usability.
Subscription cost is considered high by some users, with limitations on free version features like receipt saving.
Limited or flawed store integration; not all stores supported and some issues with store location selection.
User interface can be cluttered or busy; some features like scrolling and sorting are frustrating to use.
Lack of web (computer) interface makes meal planning less convenient for some users.

2026-07-14	Gr*****	great app for cooking. when I struggle finding recipes or smth to cook, I can look at saved recipes based on what I'm looking for. it has an ingredient pantry, but it is quite tedious, so I don't use that, but if that's your thing, go ahead. they do lock a lot of recipes back on the app without a subscription but it still has a lot. and give good ideas. you can add recipes so you can use it as a localize place for all of your recipes in a very easy to use user face.

2026-07-09	Pa*****	didn't even get through the questions before having to delete it. each time I tried to interact with the screen it would freeze making me have to leave the app and go back in just to try again and after multiple tries of this I'm choosing to delete it as I still can't even get past how many family members I have

2026-07-06	Sc*****	Good app. Even with just the free version, a must have if you want total control over your pantry and meals. Barcode scanning, create recipes, all kinds of useful stuff in here. Highly recommended.

2026-06-29	He*****	It is SO slow, there is sometimes a 10 second lag between tapping a button and it responding. When I'm trying to update my pantry or change quantities, it just messes up. I'll tap the button more than once, thinking it's not working, and then it changes a bunch of times. I don't have time to sit there and fiddle with it to try to get it back to the correct quantity. Hate how much time wasted getting the pantry set up and recipes imported, and now I'm not going to renew unless this gets fixed.

2026-06-23	Co*****	This is a really cool and useful, well rounded app. I wish I could keep it, but I have zero income, so I'm limited to free apps only. It would be nice if there were a free tier available.
