Cooklist: Pantry Meals Recipes for Negative User Reviews

✓ Want to love it, but very glitchy for meI absolutely love the concept of Cooklist, but setting it up has been difficult and time consuming as the app moves very slow and can be glitchy at times. When adding items to my pantry it isn’t uncommon for the app to freeze, quit, or not recognize an item that I had added previously and it had an entry for. I also have trouble with products being added to wrong categories (spice blend being labeled as a sauce, etc) which wouldn’t be a huge deal if I could fix it quickly but the app can be rather slow to load and process new data inputs. I have a rather large inventory of spices and pantry staples so it isn’t quite efficient for me. I’ll continue to use in hopes that new updates come out that fix these issues, I really think it could be huge help to me in the kitchen and I’d love to use it optimally. I would love to see it get a little smarter and have the ability to indicate how much of something we have to that we can know when we’re running low; particularly spices or things that come multiple to a pack. Overall, I think it’s a cool tool for home cooks, but just be mindful of be time commitment that it may take on the front end if you have lots to add!.JayJay592Version: 1.51.0

✓ Great app I recommended until imports stoppedWith the advancement in AI. receipts scanning and auto ingredient matching this app have great value at the free tier. I totally understand all the advance filter features at the pro level. I wish the recipe imports did not move from free pro level. It went from unlimited imports to zero, not 1k, 500 or 100 but zer0 web imports. Seems like with every update, Features that were initially free are being moved into the pro subscription. Users help build out the data with pics and information but still get locked out of features. Thank goodness there’s open AI chat GPT and SuperCook to help us less demanding user along the way. With all that said, I will still recommend this app due to it free features. I don’t really follow recipes but use it for inspiration to use what I got. Bring web recipes import to match ingredients and substitute, even if it a limited number of imports..Infin8dvonEVersion: 1.82.0

✓ Simple tool, overly complicated tutorial and welcome processI downloaded this app and was so excited to get started. Unfortunately the pop ups in the beginning with suggestions and how to use the app were insanely annoying and there was no way to exit or dismiss all of them. I forced closed the app multiple times and they’d still pop up. I couldn’t scan an item without a bunch of other prompts popping up of what to do next. Then any other area of the app that I tapped, a bunch more prompts would open up in that area! I tapped the recipe area and I got all these prompts of what do do and how to save stuff. There was no way to stop this awful pop up tutorial cycle. Why no “skip” option? After even just 5 minutes of using the app I was so frustrated I canceled the subscription and deleted it. It’s such an incredibly easy tool with a WAY overly complicated instruction processes. There should be a way to dismiss the tutorial altogether! And the chat lady welcoming me and her picture staying there because she’s the assistant? I wish that would go away, too. If you’ve used any sort of food tracking app (like MyFitnessPal) then this is basically it, plus a Pinterest-like feature that draws ideas from that. Unfortunately way too irritating with pop ups for me!.AhdhfiaoamhdVersion: 1.59.0

✓ Can't do price comparison of stores anymoreComparing prices store vs store; it used to be an awesome feature even though it was a bit buggy, will it ever return? devs? It is still one of the best pantry management apps i have tried to date but sometimes; one thing gets fixed, another seems to break or disappear. the cost is fine if you keep in mind that it helps them maintain the app quality and add/fix features, i send feedback whenever i can to try to be helpful. i'm looking forward to its progress very much but finding it difficult to be patient, kroger connection problem fixed but now my safeway won't import my purchases... when i click to update connection status to import receipts, i get no indication of how long it could take or if it will do anything or ever import my recent purchases. please help..Blt27Version: 1.97.2

✓ CRASHES = CANCELLATIONHonestly I want to love this app! It is an absolutely brilliant tool to use for meal planning, grocery shopping, pantry stocking, etc. I downloaded the app and was immediately able to try the 30-day FREE trial... YAY! Truthfully, within my first browse through the app I knew it would be something I’d pay for once the trial was up... until the app crashed. And crashed again. And crashed and crashed... anytime I tried to save a recipe or search an ingredient or add a pantry item. This is incredibly infuriating and truly makes the app unusable.. ESPECIALLY when it doesn’t save things due to the crashes. I’m going to hope this problem is fixed before the end of my free trial.. if it isn’t, unfortunately I will be canceling the service and finding an alternative app!!.LgibdubdibVersion: 1.53.0

✓ VERY INCONSISTENTDoesn’t work with all stores (I.e Albertsons/Vons) even though they are linked. Works okay with Ralphs/Krogers. My biggest complaint is putting in your own item. Trying to replace an image for your own item keeps picking the same old image. This app is a WIP (Work in progress). The developer should look at a product called Carb Manager that allows you to even take a product from their database and make it your own, editing the description and images and even submitting for review so someone can get use out of it. But it the meantime, I can use my own version. In my 48 years in technology, the last 25 running an IT and software development company, I wouldn't put an app out like this. I’ll re-rate, once I see some improvements. The support has been responsive which is why the 2 stars..StebonerVersion: 1.79.0

✓ Don’t pay! Scam!I paid $50 for the subscription and it dose not unlock anything! Just use it for free you get the same access. It will tell you that you can unlock things when purchasing the subscription but any time I try to use them it pops up and tells me I have to pay for the subscription again. I used Apple Pay to purchase my subscription and nothing unlocked! DO NOT WAST YOUR MONEY! I I was excited to be able to use the filters and see the different vitamins in the foods but even when you pay the options to filter and see vitamins levels are not available. It’s a good app if you are not paying but don’t was your money it will not unlock anything in the app and every time you try to use the pro features it pops back up telling you to pay the same amount again and will never let you use the feature. The first time I though my payment didn’t go through but when I checked my subscriptions on my settings it shows it was paid so the app is just trying to scam you!.LoveinblackVersion: 1.94.1

✓ Not accurate on "cook now" optionsPer the description, you are supposed to be able to put your items in the pantry section and when looking for a recipe, you can click the cook now option to see what you can cook now with items on hand. This is not accurate. This is false advertisements. I cannot find a recipe that I am not missing items from. Even the main items. I do not have pork chops. I have not put pork chops in my pantry and yet I keep getting recipes to cook now with pork chops. this app is not a good option for those looking for quick recipes that you can cook now with items in pantry. Don't waste your money. It does show expiration dates, tracks your spending at stores, helps you remember to order food or buy food, and keeps your stock up-to-date as long as you keep it up-to-date. That aspect is cool writing it two stars because of the false advertisement and the difficult set up..Joker9264Version: 1.91.1

✓ Broad matches are just annoyingI wanted to love this app, but when you switch on the cook now, it gives you recipes with ingredients that you may only have broad matches for. These are not good substitutes and there should be an option to choose how closely your pantry meets the recipe requirements instead of random broad matches. An example is this: for this chocolate turtle cake recipe one of the ingredients was chocolate turtles obviously. Their broad match was some toxic waste candy that I had in my pantry. Obviously you cannot have a chocolate turtle cake without chocolate turtles. The cook now section was the whole reason I got this app and paid for the subscription so I could see what I can cook with the ingredients I have available but it’s frustrating to have to check a bunch of recipes to find one that I ACTUALLY have ingredients for..Alexis9198Version: 1.86.0

✓ Great potential, buggy messI love the concept of Cooklist. Being able to automatically import purchases is amazing. Receipt scanning isn’t perfect, but that’s understandable. Unfortunately, the amount of UX friction introduced by bugs has led to me avoiding the app because of how frustrating it is to use. My pain points, in order of how crazy they make me: 1) Every time I open the app, I am reconnecting at least one of my store accounts, usually more. 2) The grocery search database is unusable. It appears that anyone can add their own versions of items, leading to it being extremely difficult to weed out user-entered items that are inaccurate. 3) Laggy, unresponsive UI. Tap remove, wait 5 seconds to see if it registered. Tap the minus sign, wait 5 seconds, didn’t do anything, tap it again, percentage drops from 100% to 50%. 4) Half baked cookbook and shopping list functions. No migration path from other popular cookbook apps. URL import for cookbook doesn’t work well. Shopping list UI is confusing and difficult to use. I had hoped to replace my cookbook and grocery list apps with Cooklist, but that’s a complete non-starter at this point..FlynnLives1982Version: 1.97.1

✓ Great Concept, Needs WorkFirst off, having a large list of stores at the beginning to choose from is great! But I accidentally only chose one store and trying to add another store only showed stores that seemed to be in the vicinity of the state. I may want to shop at other stores when I go out of state and want to add them to the connections. It then wouldn't let me delete the connection, saying there is a problem. I haven't logged into the connection, even. Also, the app is so slow to load that it's hardly worth the trouble. The idea is wonderful, but it needs faster loading and less glitches and not need to be logged into the connection to delete it, and not region lock you when you click on one grocery store..Yeah.I'm.his.daughterVersion: 1.68.0

✓ Trying to make life easierGrocery shopping nowadays is not easy especially meal planning and meal prepping for the week but this app makes it very easy although I would say one thing that is extremely disappointing is that it costs money. I understand that that is our economy nowadays everything cost money, but if you really want to help out the person like myself who is a student and works full-time then make it free! everything doesn’t need to be subscription based and I would use this 100% of the time if I didn’t have to pay for it but unfortunately, I am only going to use it for the free trial and then delete it. other than that, though I find every feature on this app, absolutely useful and phenomenal..GnhfdbkVersion: 1.96.1

✓ Fix it please!Hi! I recently downloaded the app and it has all the features I was looking for in an app but unfortunately it is extremely frustrating to use. I want to be able to type in my own recipes. It is extremely difficult to edit recipes and photos. Half the time the edits/photos do not save. I wish I could build a recipe with the ingredients in my pantry so that the app knows exactly what I want to use in that recipe the next time I make it. I try to swap out some ingredients and it just does not register what I’m trying to do. It just seems super buggy and not working right. I made sure my app and phone were updated too. I want to LOVE this app but I’m super frustrated with it..Kdr728Version: 1.84.1
