Streamline Software LLC · Food & Drink
Reviews mostly cite the core import breaking across websites and social platforms, data loss of saved recipes, no device sync, and absent support. This points to a neglected, unstable app rather than a pricing change.
Pick Up Limes B.V. · Food & Drink
Most low ratings come from broken login, subscription verification failures and crashes, with some paywall complaints mixed in. The rating dip is modest, and the brand's YouTube following is a strong moat that a competitor can't copy.
Will Bishop · Food & Drink
Reviews are dominated by persistent bugs: crashes, failed imports, lost recipes, broken sync and entitlement restore. Support is largely unresponsive. There is a secondary monetization thread (lifetime purchases not honored, trial billing), but it stems mostly from buggy entitlement handling. Recipe managers are a commodity feature with strong alternatives (Paprika, ReciMe).
Flavorish · Food & Drink
Many complaints target the 5-import paywall and misleading 'free' claims. The more serious damage comes from reliability: recipes disappearing, subscriptions not being recognized, failed or hallucinated imports, and slowness. Recipe saving is a commodity feature with many alternatives.
HappyCow, Inc · Travel
Reviewers describe a neglected app: stale listings, an ignored moderation queue, map search bugs, sign-in hangs, no iPad landscape support, missing filters and unresponsive support. Some complaints concern the paid price and the rating policy, but neglect dominates.
Kosco Digital LLC · Health & Fitness
Rating collapse is driven mainly by a late-September update (v1.0.50+) that removed full-menu browsing, per-item macros and favorites, broke location search, and pushed AI meal carousels and delivery ordering. Inaccurate AI data and aggressive hard-paywall and trial-billing practices add to it, but paying users mostly complain the product got worse.
Cooklist, Inc · Food & Drink
Long-time paying users report core grocery integrations (Kroger, Walmart, Amazon, Instagram import) broken for months, with crashes and absent support from an apparently understaffed team. A hard paywall with no free tier and billing complaints also drives many 1★ reviews from new users.
America's Test Kitchen LP · Food & Drink
Most complaints are about reliability: endless loading, crashes, login and subscription-recognition failures, and broken content links. Paywall and trial-billing complaints are also frequent. The main reason looks like product neglect, but the moat is ATK's brand and proprietary content, so the recipe app itself is not a commodity a small team could replace.
Anthem Ventures LLC · Food & Drink
Nearly every review complains about a hard paywall at launch with a $5-10/week subscription and no free browsing. The content itself is commodity recipe data that is freely available elsewhere.
RecipeBox, LLC · Food & Drink
Free recipe saver abruptly switched to a $30-60/yr subscription with heavy paywalls and ads, plus a botched account migration that lost users' recipes; the core feature is a commodity, and users are actively seeking alternatives like Paprika and Flavorish.
Pepper App Inc. · Food & Drink
The dominant complaints are an aggressive ~$40–50/yr subscription, recipes locked behind the paywall, and trial billing issues. Alongside that are clear stability problems: the app won't open, login fails, and servers error out. The recipe organizer itself is a commodity with direct competitors like ReciMe.
EATR LLC · Food & Drink
Reviews are dominated by deceptive billing: trials that convert to $40-60 charges, unconfirmed upsells, a broken cancel page and denied refunds. Secondary complaints are buggy meal plans that ignore diet filters and inaccurate macros. The product underneath is a commodity recipe and meal-planner app.
CookShelf Inc · Food & Drink
Complaints are dominated by the $40/yr subscription with a 5-book free cap, and most recently by promoted paid CKBK results. Users also grumble about index coverage and the absence of full recipes, which are structural limits rather than decline.
Nibble Apps Ltd · Food & Drink
Most complaints are about the hard paywall after onboarding, deceptive trial and annual upsell billing, and charges after cancelling. Secondary complaints cover weak AI-generated recipes, ignored preferences, no macro control and no custom recipes.
General Digital Connoisseurs Ltd. · Food & Drink
Free ad-supported recipe saver switched to a 5-imports-per-week limit, long unskippable ads, and hard subscription paywalls, with broken onboarding and unreliable import bugs on top.
Bakesy, LLC · Business
Most recent low reviews complain about an upfront hard paywall, broken or deceptive free trial and cancellation difficulties, with secondary onboarding bugs and slow payouts; paid users still praise the core product.
SolidStarts LLC · Education
Most of the decline comes from paywalling formerly free content, raising the price from about $10/yr to $100/yr, hiding the price until after signup, and trial billing complaints. It is compounded by real bugs (sign-outs, lost progress, videos not playing).
eMeals, Inc. · Food & Drink
Most reviews attack predatory billing: trials charging immediately, silent annual renewals, no refunds, hard cancellation, and no monthly plan. A substantial minority cite product rot: broken grocery sync, wrong shopping lists, stale menus, and bland recipes. Free AI and recipe apps make the paid offering look poor value.
Deglazed LLC · Food & Drink
The decline started with v7.0 (July 2025), when a previously '100% free' recipe saver added a ~$50/yr Pro subscription. The update limited imports and paywalled scaling and unit conversion, and reviewers call it a bait and switch. Some bug and import-quality complaints exist but are minor.
Mouth Group Limited · Food & Drink
Most reviews attack an aggressive subscription funnel: a hard paywall, trials that auto-convert to an annual plan, obstructed cancellation, no refunds, and AI-only support. Secondary product rot shows up in poorly edited recipes, broken grocery lists, no iPad app and connectivity bugs. Several reviewers still praise the recipes and food styling.
DVO Enterprises Inc. · Food & Drink
Most reviews describe the long-free app moving to subscriptions. Users were forced into cloud accounts, saw existing recipes lost or held behind a $4.99 or subscription paywall, and faced heavy ads and pay-only support. Some product rot (data loss, broken paste import, crashes) is mixed in.
Hearst Communications, Inc. · Food & Drink
The decline is driven by a new paywall that locks recipes, combined with aggressive web-to-app forcing. Severe product rot sits on top of this: white screens, login loops, and paid subscriptions not being recognized. The core asset is a proprietary brand recipe catalog, not a commodity feature.
Vorwerk, LLC · Food & Drink
The decline comes from a 2025 redesign plus login and sync bugs. Users can't leave, though: the app is the required companion to a $1,500+ Thermomix appliance and its proprietary Cookidoo recipe subscription, so a third-party competitor can't replace it.
