Review summary

The Prepear app is valued for its long history, broad recipe library, and meal-planning capabilities, with many users enjoying adding personal recipes and using the free version. However, it has widespread reliability and UX problems: sign-in glitches and login frequency, crashes after updates that can erase data, UI elements blocked by device navigation bars, data/account losses, and contentious pricing with auto-renewals. These issues appear across multiple reviews, driving some users to seek alternatives unless fixes stabilize the app.

Pros

Long-running app with years of use and a loyal user base.
Large, community-driven library of recipes from many contributors.
Effective meal planning and easy organization of personal recipes.
Ability to add your own recipes and access external recipes.
Free version provides solid functionality.

Cons

Frequent login/sign-in issues, with buttons hidden or blocked by device navigation bars.
Crashes and instability after updates, including loss of work when saving or creating recipes.
Data loss or account problems, with recipes or meal plans disappearing.
UI/UX problems where the app's controls are obscured by the device's bottom/navigation bars.
Subscription pricing, auto-renewals, and refunds issues, plus perceived devaluation of features.

2026-07-02	Ki*****	Got this app because I was using Jordan Page's Shelf Cooking subscription. She moved her subscription to this app and its been a headache since. I used this app every week but then it starting crashing all the time. I can't even see the recipes I've saved. Meal planning is already a job and it should not be made harder with this app. Don't waste your time. I even canceled my shelf cooking subscription. I loved it! It was a lifesaver. Not anymore.

2026-01-09	Je*****	I really love this app but run into issues all the time. currently anytime you click on anything that has to do with a picture it shuts down the app and I just spent 20 minutes creating a meal plan and when I went to hit save it shut down the app and I lost everything. I tried to contact customer service and the web page goes to a dead end so this is apparently the only way I can reach out and get help with a problem maybe

2026-01-04	Me*****	update: the app has been fixed and is fantastic to use once again! I've loved this app, but not since the last update. The app navigation buttons are directly under my phone's navigation buttons. In fact I can even select "log in" instead of "create an acct" unless I split/ share my screen so the navigation buttons aren't on top of each other. If I split/share my screen and adjust it at all then it shuts down entirely and I'm back to logging in. Right now it's unusable on my phone.

2026-01-03	Sa*****	App not working. This app used to be great but now its impossible to use on my android phone. They put buttons in places I can't tap on and it has me log in every time I use the app. Time to find a new menu planning app. Update, the buttons have been fixed but I can only plan for 3 days, its not showing more than that 😞

2025-12-26	Vi*****	I used to love this app but it's gotten worse and worse. Now it won't even let me sign in on my phone, I'm having to use my computer. It's a shame because I don't want to have to move all my recipes somewhere else after 6 years of using this app to manage them, but I may need to.

2025-12-22	Br*****	loved the app but there are way too many bugs now. it keeps prompting for login. and closing the app when hitting the create a new recipe button and requiring new login. this was not the same experience as earlier this year.

2025-12-21	An*****	I have been using this app for years and love it! I used the paid version for a long time and wish I could still afford it but the free version is great too. I add my own recipes and ones I find from websites plus they have tons available from many contributors. Recently, I am having issues with logging in on the app where I have to reset my password every time but hopefully that gets fixed soon

2025-12-14	An*****	Recent updates have been very frustrating. Although the nav overlay issue is better, I am forced to relogin everything I switch to another app. And I am unable to add web recipes as the app crashes every time.
