Zest Cooking

Love the app! Recipes are amazing and it’s laid out in such an entertaining and easy to understand format. However - when I subscribed to the app it told me I was subscribing to the $45/year subscription, and two weeks later I was charged for the $80/year subscription. I was not too thrilled to be charged that much more when I was under the impression I was being charged for the lower amount. Be sure to check your subscription after the two week trial period to ensure you aren’t charged more than you anticipated.

Duolingo has free features that makes it useable! This is NOT free. I cannot utilize an app that only gives me 5 free recipes! Thanks for stealing all of my information and kindly informing me you want $120 for a year. What a scam

as a girl trying to get into more hobbies, i appreciate this app existing! not only are the characters cute, that green onion is so cute, i love the fact that im also learning about different principles of cooking that i wouldn’t have known otherwise. so cutesyy, def recommend!

A new update just dropped that got rid of the “menu” and now there is a “plan” instead. So now you cannot add recipes to your menu (which included a shopping list and a section to toggle which meals you want to shop for), you have to start a “plan” for the week. It is unbelievably annoying because I liked to add a bunch of stuff to my menu in advance and then toggle which meals I’ll prepare for the week. I also liked being able to delete meals and add meals whenever I want. I can’t plan for the week ahead now because you have one set plan and if you create a new one, it deletes the current one. I hope that makes sense, but it’s irritating to have to start a new plan every time I decide that I want to shop for something other than what I have added to my plan. I hope they change the app back to what it was before this update or at least include the menu idea along with the plan. Plus the new UI is so annoying to look at. I just miss the old app. If it doesn’t change, I might have to cancel my subscription tbh. This app has changed my life for the better, but the new update is just terrible. UPDATE: I sent an email to the app creator about my issues with the app! There is no longer a “plan” of meals you need to set up for the week, you can now add any meals to your grocery list which is AMAZING! They also added back the feature where you can toggle different meals in your grocery list on/off so you can choose to shop for whatever meals you added to the grocery list—very happy to have this back. If I find something I wanna make, but maybe I want to do it for next week, I can add the meal to my grocery list and then toggle that meal off so that I don’t shop for it yet. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO OUR REVIEWS!! 5 stars! All the meals I’ve made from this app have been amazing! Only thing I would add is maybe add more dietary preferences? I’m a pescatarian, but I also keep kosher (so this could maybe be an allergy section? Like allergic to shellfish or something). But that’s just me being nit-picky at this point haha Highly recommend!

as a neurodiverse and disabled broke college student, i’m so grateful for this app! it has inspired several meal ideas directly or indirectly. my only grievance is none of the videos have subtitles :(

I hated cooking and felt limited on what I was able to cook. I’ve been trying to learn how to cook new things but I always failed. I never understood why anyone enjoyed cooking until I got this app. This is the only app that has made recipes and cooking concepts easy and digestible for me. I’m about to make my first recipe from this app tonight!! I’m so excited and I actually feel confident now. Thanks guys!! ❤️❤️

I had no cooking knowledge and this has helped me immensely! There’s step by step instructions, imbedded links to videos that demonstrate techniques, and vast, but not overwhelming, amount of choices for different recipes every day. I can’t say enough how much I love this app!

This developer changes the entire layout of the app constantly. Not only making it horrible to try and use. But the most recent update deleted the Recipie I had already spent $30 shopping for. This person has no clue how to make an app or treat customers.

Very good app I just wish there was no subscriptions,some of us can’t afford that. Wishing out of the kindness of their heart they make it completely free for those to learn.

Great concept and great execution! Loving it so far!
