ChefGPT

I love the idea of the app it is great but there is no area to add food I dislike, for example: I do not like coconut but it keeps suggesting recipes with it. Also the discover section is a brilliant idea but does not take my dietary restrictions into account, do not eat dairy but most of the recipes have cheese in the discover area. However, it is a really good idea but needs some improvements.

I am shocked to see an update was posted 3 weeks ago. I tried downloading 3 times, never even got to the main page. I asked the app to not track me, and I wonder if that’s what’s causing the issues, but that should be more upfront if the trade off to use the app is personal data.

Whenever I try to make a recipe using this app nothing works. I tried to use macro chef and it crashed when I clicked on it, it even did this whenever I tried to open anything else on the app please fix this.

I love the idea but just downloaded it and it generated my first recipe and the title was nothing to the actual meal. Stuffed chicken breast with peanut butter rice… it was actually wrapping a dough lined with peanut butter around the chicken breast and baking it then serving it over cooked rice. Also the instructions didn’t provide measurements for the rice… it needs a lot of work. I don’t blame what the algorithm did with the ingredients as I chose those. I would’ve expected them to match the title. I was thinking maybe cook rice and make a creamy peanut butter sauce into the rice.

It’s a decent app and an excellent idea for some last minute dinner. Really good for meal preparation. I only have one issue about is in dietary restrictions it doesn’t let you select shellfish which is a pretty common allergy that I have and half the recipes that were generated had shellfish as the main ingredient making it hard to work around just taking it out. Also it only lets you add a certain amount of pantry ingredients so I suggest doing the ones you know you want to cook with for sure. Those are really my only qualms with it.

Haven’t been able to successfully generate a recipe yet. Just keep getting a “something went wrong” message.

Recipes take 10+ minutes to load. Pantry tracker has a horrible design. Only 5 recipes per month on the free version is awful. Does not have very many ingredients as well.

UX to add items to pantry is wayy too complex. I have to scan every items barcode? barrier to entry too high, makes app not worth using
