Deglaze: Recipe Manager

Trying to make sure my trial is cancelled but there is no way to contact them. Emails bounce. Response to Developer: I don’t use Google. You’ve emailed me several times now and I’ve responded. Please stop. I’m sorry I ever tried to use this app.

I want an app that looks nice and will let me import and organize recipes. I do not want to have to go through a 20-page survey about my life goals, diet, and social media habits. A recipe app does not need to know those things. Two stars because it looks nice; only two stars because it needs to mind its business and stop pretending to be my life coach.

I didn’t get a chance to try much of this app because it kept messing up. Fix the technical bugs and I might come back.

I’ve tried to do recipes that are in the video or clearly labeled in pics or comments and it doesn’t work. Also on free mode it will count down your recipes even if it fails as an app to save them. Don’t waste your time or money until this app is more refined

I was under the impression that I could do a bunch of stuff for free, jokes on me I guess because I can’t even add anything without paying for it.

It’s “fully free” for 7 days then 50$ a year. I don’t care to pay for something once but a subscription for a cookbook that I add things to myself? No thanks!

20 free then you’re limited to 3 a week and most of the features are locked behind Pro. It’s the same app as ReciMe.

When I first got the app I loved how much it could do especially with the language support and scaling for a lot of my non-English recipes. The new update decided to make scaling for members only, which is a basic function that other recipe apps still have for free! $50 annual fee is way expensive than most recipe apps around and I can see how the future of this app will be and I think it’s time to switch to others :((

This app was great but now you have to pay a subscription to upload stuff nah

No longer able to scale recipes without a high subscription fee, this is a basic feature that is a simple formulate and doesn’t require a llm and ai.

They made a forced update that removed features and turned it into a subscription service. No there is no one time fee, despite this not being an app that in any way requires ongoing support. I wouldn’t mind if an update added paid content. I wouldn’t mind if the update was a one time purchase. But I don’t want to rent something as basic as a recipe app. Clippy wouldn’t do this. Clippy just wanted to help.

Just as said, a perfectly good service that I would pay a one time price for, not 50$/yr.

Can NOT select the free version. I just got the app and was setting up my account and it will not let me select the FREE version. Deleting app.

was so excited to find a free app. i had changed my recipes to show in us units and now the devs have reverted them to the metric system and i cant change it back to what i had before the paywall unless i pay for a subscription! i also had set some recipes to 1/2 a serving for one time cooking and cant put them back to a full serving unless i pay. they shouldve let original users get grandfathered in as a gift for helping them blow up

Downloaded this app because it was free a while ago. Had multiple issues for a while trying to save recipes in. Then all of a sudden we will lose all our recipes because they decided to start charging a fee to use this app.

I’m all for people making a living with an app, but this latest move is a bridge too far. The core functionality of this app is saving recipes you find across the web. Now that the devs want more money they are gatekeeping that functionality behind a recurring paywall subscription, outside of three saves a week. Save your money, go elsewhere, this app is dead.

I feel like I've been lied to, because it used to be completely free and then out of nowhere they made a Deglaze pro like what is even the point im just gonna use my Umami Chrome extension atp

I understand the need to make money so that all the AI implementation and servers are paid for, but when you are gonna charge an outrageous $48/year for a recipe app, that is so greedy after advertising it as free for everyone to hop on and get invested into your app. That is such an extremely deceptive tactic. Wish I knew that’s what your intentions were otherwise I would’ve picked a different recipe app from the start. The app is killed for that cost in my eyes when there are tons of other options out there that are cheaper and just as good such as Mela, Plum Recipes, Flavorish, etc. I wanted to support deglaze but there are better options for the money now that do the same thing with AI imports, Scaling Recipes, Family Sharing, Meal Prep, Grocery List, etc. Personally I’m not going to support a company that drives up the prices on people an insane amount once they get invested into their ecosystem. Lost my trust

That’s what made me stop using. I didn’t mind the ads but once import restrictions came on, that’s when I dropped.

I tried many recipe manager apps and this one was by far my favorite. With the most recent update, the developer now limits how many recipes you can import. I have over 100 recipes so after the developer pulled a fast one it is going to be an absolute pain switching to an alternative.

I am so incredibly tired of finding an app I like and use just for them to implement a subscription service shortly thereafter. The whole reason I downloaded Deglaze was because this was the free alternative to a different cooking app I wanted. I can’t justify spending $50 a year for a cooking app. I’d rather use that money to buy physical cookbooks. Guess it’s time to start searching for a new app 🤷🏼‍♀️

The concept of this app is fabulous. I actually discovered it because I was looking for a way to save recipes from TikTok and Instagram, and it works perfectly for that. It’s importing other recipes that’s an issue. I work on a PC at work and at home, and there is no way to import recipes from a PC, which is a huge flaw for me. Another flaw is printing. I tried to look past these when the app was free, but now that they are charging for the app, I’m unsure if I will purchase it. If they could fix these issues though, I would in a heartbeat.

I really really liked this app, but now it’s completely ruined for me. The entire appeal — the ONLY thing that set this apart from other identical apps — was that this one was free. And now it’s paid. I used to recommend this to everyone! I even got my mom to download it. But now I’m planning on moving all my info out of her and deleting my account. So stupid to ruin everything about this app that made it unique and valuable.

Was enjoying this app and suddenly it’s saying limited imports then have pay for subscriptions… getting sick of all these apps abusing and trying make money constantly so sick of it… in response to developer response still frustrated… complete bait and switch I spent so much time adding all my imports and ONLY REASON WHY I SELECTED THIS APP OR I NEVER WOULD HAVE STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Waste of time.. then you implied you’d help people if they couldn’t afford it then just email us why you need to charge… another bait and switch

App used to be free now they put some of the options behind a pay wall
