“The cleanest, most simple yet useful app I’ve ever encountered after the discontinued Wunderlist. I live my life by it! But the latest update makes it a brick. I am on iPhone and doing absolutely anything – scrolling, completing a task, switching lists, freezes the app completely. I am unable to use it.

I would love to be a…”ReciMe: Recipes & Meal Planner

Support tells me to do things I’ve already tried. They tell me all of my recipes (nearly 400) are on the cloud but when I go to their website, I only see 69 recipes which is the same as on my iPad. I missed my Christ…”Recipe Keeper Box - OrganizEat
“I’ve had this app for quite a while but it has some major issues the main one being that it randomly adds items to my shopping list that I didn’t put on there myself.

I have reached out to report this issue numerous times and nothing ever gets fixed and I never hear bac…”Flipp: Shop Grocery Deals
