Forks Plant-Based Recipes for Negative User Reviews

✓ ProblemsWhile I love the idea there are 2 functions that NEED to be implemented. First it nutritional information on everything, I don’t know what I’m eating without it. I would also request it was Apple Health comparable. Being able to add recipes to Apple Health with a click of a button like most other apps would be time saving and informative. As soon as they are implemented I can re-review my rating..Bedhead1Version: 1.410

✓ Not the recipes from the meal plannerThose arent the recipes from the meal planner :(.CourvzVersion: 1.410

✓ Make your App for the market the buyer is from.What exactly is a cup? Just use grams, metric is easy, it’s hundreds, multiples of, simple! Utterly pointless as I really cannot be bothered converting everything I need to use!! Metric please, ASAP or I’ve wasted a fiver!.Mr.davejbrownVersion: 1.500

✓ NO metric systemI just bought the app and love everything about it - beautiful interface, easy to use, great resource... BUT! A BIG downside for me is no option of converting measurements to metric system, it’s all in oz and lbs which is too inconvenient for me. So please include that option in soon!!! I can’t use the app without it. I bought the app to make my life easier but it’s not doing that if I have to covert everything myself every time I want to make smt..TrangLythVersion: 1.400

✓ Love the picturesI love how this app looks, recipe photos are stunning . Food looks simple until you get to the recipe list and its ingredients that you don’t have on hand , like ever. Aquafaba , buckwheat flour, unsweetened apple sauce , coconut flakes, this is just a sample of what I am talking about . Almost every breakfast recipe requires aquafaba I’m sorry I don’t have cans of garbanzo beans laying around the house to use on a frequent basis nor do I have the water that I soak beans in just stored some where in my refrigerator. I want to make more recipes but I am frequently frustrated with the ingredient list. Please update this app with some more basic and practical recipes..ElizaJane72Version: 1.300

✓ Too careless with the recipesThe selection of dishes is interesting but the recipes were not carefully checked. Here’s a specific example that’s typical: the Indian Spiced Cauliflower and Potato Casserole does not indicate whether the cooking is done covered or uncovered. What’s worse is that if you are working from the printed copy it is missing key parts of the recipe as viewed in the app. Try it - look at the ingredients list in the app and compare that with the printout. Cook’s Illustrated used to have a section in its magazine where they reviewed cookbooks and vetted the recipes to make sure they worked, had all the necessary instructions and were precise but not too complex for a newcomer to cooking techniques. They’d probably give this app a fail. On the other hand, the recipes in the Forks Over Knives magazine are better done as are the ones in Darshana Thacker’s book. Buy those and ignore this app..GgmpdVersion: 1.400

✓ Worst appThis app is horrible. After paying $5 the app would launch but freeze at the home page. I deleted and redownload. Same issue. I opened it and walked away. After a few mins it launched. I got to view a few recipes and needed to open another app but it froze my phone. I can scroll in the app but can’t shut it down the app. I tried to shut down my phone and it beeped 2 times really load. Then my husband gets an alert that I’m placing an emergency call for help. I have a new iPhone 12 max pro. I’m writing this review from my iPad since my phone is still locked in this pathetic app. It’s been over 15 mins and my phone is frozen in the forks over knives app!.Nisso21LAVersion: 2.2

✓ Good app but some recipes not so goodThe app and the user interface is easy to use and looks great. However, I find quite a few of the recipes too high in sugar. Several recipes call for lots of dates, raisins, applesauce, maple syrup etc. Making these recipes not as healthy as they first appear..Roc123Version: 1.300

✓ Printed Recipes DO NOT ALWAYS MATCHGreat recipes but be careful! We got hosed on a printed version of a recipe as the printed version did not include all of the ingredient details - such as using COOKED RICE. Some recipes automatically cook the rice, so we didn’t think anything of it when the printed recipe just said “6 cups rice”. Ended up very crunchy. Not everyone uses their devices while cooking! Please fix the app to print the recipe content ACCURATELY..Mateo-caVersion: 2.0

✓ Not worth paying forThis app is fine. It’s nice to have all of the whole Food recipes in one place. Often when searching online a lot of the recipes that come up are not actually whole food so this is nice for that reason, however I have seen quite a few of these recipes for free online so paying for the app feels like a foolish purchase. What I really need from this app is for it to tell me how long sauces and dressings and such can keep in the fridge. There are quite a few things, examples being cheese sauce or pasta sauce, that I would love to make a large jar of but I do not have freezer space so I’d like to know how long they would keep in the fridge. You also cannot view the ingredients and recipes at the same time so you have to keep switching back and fourth to see what quantities you need to be adding. This also isn’t a meal planning app as it claims to be, it is just a WFPB recipe database. To recap: the recipes look good but can be found elsewhere online, you cannot plan meals by day or week, I don’t know how long the food I make will keep, poor navigation/organization. If it was free this app would be great but all in all: Not worth the money..BprattleVersion: 1.300

✓ Used to love itI used to love this app so much and have used many of the recipes, which are fantastic. The reason I’m writing this review is lately the app is pretty much unusable. A few times it has frozen my whole phone to the point of having to reset it to do anything. And most recently it seems to get stuck on the opening screen and won’t go any further. Today it happened while I was in the middle of preparing one of the recipes and now I can’t see the next steps I need to follow. My biggest complaint is that I can’t seem to find support. When I click on the app support in the App Store it just brings me to the website and there is no help or support listed anywhere. Please please fix this app so I can love it again! Thank you..ShellyvegVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Metric system?Great app with plenty of recipes for variety. It’s however painful to go through conversions from the imperial to the metric system to be able to do my grocery shopping. Could you look into adding a toggle button to switch from imperial to metric for users outside of the USA?.LaloulaluVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Great but add metric measuresThis would be such an amazing app - the recipes are great and really broad, the app is well designed and easy to use. BUT not having metric units is incredibly frustrating! This seemed like such an obvious one to include....TrgnjigVersion: 2.2

✓ Not as Tasteful As I thought It would BeI am a believer in the information I learned from the documentary and thought this app would provide tasty recipes using wholesome foods. I was attracted to the apps recipes with plant based ingredients and shopping list being in one central location. With my busy schedule, this feature makes it really convenient. I rely very heavily on recipes to minimize the thinking I have to put into providing a variety of meals for my family (i.e., I would cook the same thing all the time). I also enjoyed reading the success stories of how people turned their health around by following the FOK eating regimen. I’ve dried about 5 or so recipes and have yet to taste one that I plan to cook again. I’m wondering if these recipes were tested before they were published..Squire-JacksonVersion: 1.500

✓ Recipe testing before prime timeI find it hard to believe that these recipes go through proper testing before they are published to this app. I've had several issues where the ingredient amounts and/or methods were way off. Tonight I made the cauliflower bites and only after I put all my ingredients away, washed my blender, and was tossing the cauliflower in the batter did it become obvious that the ingredients for the batter had to be tripled to properly coat the head of cauliflower this recipe called for. So out came all of the ingredients and blender all over again...annoying. One positive is the shopping list feature. It is easy to use and I like how easy it is to link to the recipes..SarlicioVersion: 1.300

✓ Love the iOS app, iPad version could use some workAll the recipes we have tried have been great, but why in the world wouldn’t you make an app for the iPad able to rotate to landscape? This is a device often used by many people in the kitchen to view their recipes while they cook, and is quite often mounted to the Apple Keyboard, which can only be used in landscape mode. So to use this app, I have to take my keyboard off of the iPad and let it just rest against something on the counter? It is 2022, and a paid for app should not have such a ridiculous limitation. Other than that, love every other aspect of the app. The grocery list is great, being able to adjust the number of servings so the grocery list is accurate, etc. have been fantastic..Some guy in txVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Deleted from phone.Crashed my iphone11. Yikes!.BrantfordnonameVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Wish there was an iPad versionGreat app, beautifully laid out - just a shame I can’t read it on my iPad, especially when I have the recipe open as I make the dish..MrgingerbreadmanVersion: 1.400

✓ No metric measurementsI was really excited to download this app and try the recipes - which look absolutely amazing. Unfortunately there are no metric conversions and being from the UK I have no clue what ‘cups’ represent, so not sure if I can actually make many of the recipes without completely guessing. If you could possibly add the metric conversions it would be a perfect recipe app..Cstr82Version: 2.2.1

✓ Great Recipes but Annoying MeasurementsIt would be wonderful if there was an option to convert the measurements of ingredients to metric. It’s a real hassle having to use google to convert everything. The recipes are fantastic.JE2694Version: 1.300

✓ Not very good recipesEvery recipe I’ve tried from this website seems to fall short of what it should be, it’s not very clear instructions and also does tell you what appliances are needed. Very disappointed..Kieki347Version: 2.2

✓ Waste of ingredientsI’m all in favor of whole food plant based eating, but have found next to nothing worth repeating in these recipes. It’s all edible, but no great surprises in pairings of flavors; mostly disappointment that I wasted the ingredients trying. Has anyone even made these things? Or is it really just a hard-scrabble approach that is meant to take all the pleasure out of eating? After choking down the BBQ cauliflower and pineapple pizza, I think the leftovers will go well in the compost. There are so many wonderful vegetarian dishes from all cuisines that are easily adapted to WFBP eating, so why try to reinvent the wheel? I’m going back to doing just that and dumping this app!.BisnanVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Not Great for Single GuyI am a single guy in search for vegan recipes but am not experienced in cooking. I had great success with a home delivery meal service, but I wanted to try FOK for the sake of more healthful vegan meals. I'm really disappointed with the three FOK recipes I cooked. They took much more time to prep than what the recipe cards suggested, greatly misjudged certain portions of ingredients (for example, way too much eggplant for one recipe and way too little quinoa for another), and they simply didn't taste good. As well, they were geared toward large groups of people and not suitable for bachelors or couples. That amounts to a huge waste of food when the meals turn out to be gross. I've since subscribed to a vegan home delivery food service, and the results have been great..Phillyb091Version: 1.300

✓ It okNot really worth the purchase. Broken into categories (soups/stews, deserts, salads etc). Not very many recipes in each categorie around 50 in each. Pretty boring and not very enticing. Under categories should be sub categories then “recipes” , not just one recipe. For example, under breakfast there should be a categorie for omelette, not just one omelette recipe, there should be a bunch to choose from. Also there are probably a ton of burrito recipes out there, but there is only one. There are around 65 “contributors” who donated a recipe or two, I would think there would be more. Around 50-60 odd recipes in each category. Breakfasts, salads and sides, soups stews, deserts, baked stuffed, pastas and a couple others. Also time consuming to sift through each dish to determine spice and ingredients, I get bored sifting through and end up closing app. I purchased to get ideas and get inspired that was pushed on a Facebook page. Seems like this app still in early stages and needs improving. My still go to is Food and Wine. Honestly, better off just searching for stuff and not spending money. At this stage it should be still free..EmilausVersion: 1.400

✓ App not workingLove the recipes but find the app so frustrating. It happened when I first purchased it and now it’s happening again. I have a notification if 3 new recipes but for at least 2 weeks now the app won’t open it just stalls on the forks over knives page. Is there something wrong with it? Very annoyed that I paid for this!.Booker AppVersion: 2.2

✓ Not reaching expectationsI’m a huge fan of knives and forks concept, love vegan food, that’s why I didn’t hesitate to buy the app since I want to make more vegan food myself. But, comparing to other recipe apps, like kitchen stories and tasty, you have a really big problem for me which is you don’t have any photos for the food making process..😫 other apps even have videos to show how to make food. it’s really a bit difficult to have a good experience with your app even you provide the best vegan food. Please consider adding more photos in the app!.Alicery0627Version: 1.410

✓ Font is very difficult to seeEven though this app has many recipes, I took a star off because the font type is too faint and I cannot read the measurements. Light grey font on a white background is impossible to see. I gave up and use other recipe apps. I did send feedback via email and hope the developer makes a change in a future update..Organizer1616Version: 1.500

✓ Magazine RecipesLove your app but I would like it if you put the recipes found in your magazine on the app as well.TGlahnVersion: 2.2.1
