Review summary

Users largely praise Crockbook as an essential DST cookbook with helpful features and clear visuals. It saves you time and prevents waste, and many enjoy the ad-free option after payment. However, pervasive ads that block the UI, unreliable ad removal purchases, and outdated content significantly detract from the experience. Occasional instability or broken features also appear in some reviews. When ads cooperate, it’s a highly valuable tool for planning meals and managing recipes.

Pros

Crucial resource for Don't Starve; saves worlds and helps prevent starving by managing recipes.
Rich feature set: ability to sort by stats, toggle game variants (Warly, Shipwrecked, Hamlet), crockpot emulator, and Yaarctopus guide.
Clear visuals and high-quality recipe entries with useful imagery.
Ad-free experience after payment improves usability (reported positively when it works).

Cons

Ads block critical UI and top of the screen, making the app unusable or hard to use.
Paid ad removal does not reliably remove ads; purchases/restores sometimes fail and ads persist.
Content can be outdated or incomplete (missing recipes; update frequency criticized).
Occasional instability or broken features (e.g., combining function blocked by overlays or app crashes).

2025-08-18	2@*****	The app is great, I play DST a lot and also ROG on mobile and this is great because it has saved so many of my worlds by making sure I don’t make wet goop and starve because it was my last piece of food. Maybe there could be a feature where if you double tap a food item it shows you its stats and maybe a feature that says if you’ll get more or less of a stat from eating a dish and not individually eating
