Sidekick by Sorted Food

Love the idea, but the execution is not perfect. The app does not want to show me the ingredients list for a meal pack. Nor does it let me add a pack to my weekly menu…

Since the change to Sidekick, the app is a pain to use! Scrolling is not smooth at all, the app gives visual feedback that you clicked on elements while you’re just scrolling. The highlighted titles gives misleading UX about what to click on (especially the « Full recipe » title above the arrow button, same colour, it should be clickable, but it’s not). The animation to open the full recipe looks awful and messy. The whole app is white, but the system ui is set to be white as well so you don’t see the current time and battery. This is not a good update.

You can tell a lot of time and consideration has gone into this app. It doesn’t matter what culinary level you are at, it has something to benefit everyone in my opinion. I initially started to reduce food waste but found myself spending more time than anticipated due to vast catalog of recipes and the inspiration the app has provided. I’ve started to enjoy cooking again rather than it feeling like a choir.

Me and my partner have watched all the Sorted YouTube vids and decided we had to give it a go and it was amazing! Choosing meal packs and having a full shopping list whilst the actual meals themselves are easy to make and the steps are easy to follow! We got the app because we kept cycling the same meals every two weeks and now we have tried so many dishes that we never would have thought to make and they’re so much simpler than we thought and they taste amazing! Honestly an amazing app and new meal packs are getting added weekly!

I don’t write reviews unless I absolutely love something. This app helped my family to save a lot of money and not to waste food ( I absolutely hate food waste and this is incredible). I live with my parents atm and this app helped us to bond over dinners. I make delicious food with my dad and we surprise mum with new dinner every night. We all work a lot so dinner is a perfect time for us to catch up and sit down for a meal. It also really helps to expand your palette and try new things and stop being scared of some ingredients (things like miso and tahini, used to be single-use items aka miso soup and hummus, but now I restock them every month because we run out) it’s so cool to try new things, have fun, save your money and the planet❤️ thank you all so much for this app, it’s genius

Wouldn’t bother if you’re vegan. First setting I went for was making sure the app knew I was only interested in cooking vegan food and it has only pushed meat and vegetarian dishes. From other reviews it seems to be weirdly expensive too so unless you are absolutely sure you’re going to commit to using the app I’d give it a miss.

I only use the app for inspiration which it is perfect for - especially when it comes to recipes that are actually quick, easy, and delicious. I don’t use the packs aspect but it’s such a brilliant function that is exactly what is needed to help people avoid food waste! Can recommend this app!!

I recommend this to everyone I know. Everything is so perfectly thought through. Timers, shopping lists, food wastage. A constant update of new packs, it saves us so much money and time with our weekly shop and we have tried an abundance of dishes we never would have without this app. I could write an essay on all of the great things about this app and all the people behind it. Cheers Sorted, you deserve every good thing that comes your way.

The Sorted team’s recipes are always full of flavour and they make them simple to follow. There’s a wide variety of recipes included with more always being added. They help keep me motivated to keep learning and improving my cooking skills.

While I think there are a few small things that could be improved, this is by far the most efficient, cost effective and fun way to take care of weeknight cooking when I need inspiration.
