## Review summary

Users find Substitutions to be a useful, well-organized reference with a broad database and allergy-friendly options, praised as a go-to tool for substitutions. However, stability issues dominate complaints, including crashes on launch and black screens, plus glitches in search/navigation. Some reviewers also want more hard-to-find substitutions and broader gluten-free coverage. Overall, strong utility when it runs, but reliability problems undermine ongoing use.

### Pros

- Large, diverse database with substitutions across cooking, baking, and utensils.
- Easy to use and well-organized; serves as a quick, reliable reference for substitutions.
- Helpful for planning healthier or allergy-aware substitutions and accommodating dislikes/preferences.

### Cons

- Crashes on launch / unstable performance, making the app hard to use.
- Black screen on startup or when opening on certain devices (e.g., iPod).
- Glitchy behavior around the search function, causing crashes or requiring re-navigation.
- Perceived content limitations; users want more hard-to-find substitutions and broader gluten-free options.
