    Bad Business Practice — I downloaded this app because I have tons of recipes in different apps and I was hoping to get them organized into one place. I am deleting less than an hour after downloading due to what feels like digital bullying. When I got to the page where you offered your premium version free for seven days you did not provide an option to decline. I’m sure most people forget to canc

    Didn’t work — First import failed to capture most ingredients or steps. Waste of time and certainly not worth $40 a year.

Who’s in it

All 7 apps counted in this market · 2026-09-02.

Apps count as part of a market for 90 days after they last appear in it. Installs are Google Play's own count, last captured 2026-09-13. 6 of 7 apps have an Android listing we could match. A dash means we could not pair the two stores, not that the app is absent from Play.

What they charge, and what it costs them

How this is counted

Every number is arithmetic over the reviews we hold, re-counted weekly: nothing modelled, nothing scored. Themes come from a frozen pattern classifier rather than a model reading reviews, so the same review always lands in the same bucket. A market rate is pooled across every app here; the store rate is the same count across 12,743 apps. A complaint is only called a gap when at least half the market carries it, at least 20 reviews are behind it, and the market’s rate is elevated above the store’s, the same cutoff used everywhere on this site, because a problem concentrated in one app is that app’s bug, and a problem every app on the store shares is nobody’s gap. This market has no full report yet, so the per-app notes are absent rather than estimated. The anger axis is counted either way: mean star of the reviews carrying each theme, from the same classifier as the counts above.
