User Reviews

Half Lemons is praised for its easy, clean interface and pantry-based recipe discovery that helps plan meals, reduces waste, and yields delicious results from a broad set of sources. The strongest drawbacks are a growing paywall: many features are locked behind a paid tier and the free version severely limits saving recipes and pantry access. Some users also want better multi-user support and have reported occasional bugs after updates. Overall, it’s a strong kitchen helper if you’re willing to pay for expanded features.

Pros

Easy to use with a clean, user-friendly interface.
Finds recipes based on the ingredients you have, helping meal planning and reducing waste.
Recipes come from many sources, offering a wide variety.
Delicious results and consistently tasty options.
Saves time by meal-planning quickly using what you already have.

Cons

Growing paywall: many features are locked behind a paid tier and the free version is limited or essentially useless.
Free tier severely limits saving recipes and pantry features (e.g., only a few saved items).
Limited multi-user support: only Apple login, making shared use across family members difficult.
Occasional bugs or regressions after updates (e.g., not generating new results or freezing).

This is easy and delicious

Was looking for a solution to replace Yummly when they shut down the app. This isn’t it. The recipe collection is lackluster.

I was one of the earliest users of this app, and the app was one of my staples in the kitchen. However most of the features have become paid and I cannot even save my pantry for free anymore. I wish there was a way to revert the update and go back to the older version As such, the free version of this app is of no use anymore and I cannot recommend it to anyone. I understand that server costs need to be paid, but this shouldn’t be at the cost of features experienced by old users. Perhaps make new features paid but don’t ruin the original experience
