SideСhef: Easy Cooking Recipes for Negative User Reviews

✓ Just a blown up iPhone appMeh. App looks decent, but can’t be used with an iPad. It doesn’t rotate, images are blurry because they’re not sized appropriately, it’s clearly just a blown up iPhone app, which isn’t useful to use as a recipe viewer while cooking (you can’t use Apple’s case to rest your iPad sideways.... again, the app doesn’t rotate.... on iPad.... unbelievable).BlackHayzeVersion: 4.4.1

✓ UnusableCrashes non stop whenever I try to switch to another tab in the menu or scroll. I can open the app for a solid 6 seconds..Sir PicassoVersion: 5.4.1

✓ Not configurable as advertisedI omitted seafood and shellfish as a food group when I registered and the first recipe and inspirational suggestion that came up when I opened the app was for a sushi roll!.HerearemythoughtsVersion: 5.1.2

✓ Filters don't workI was excited about this app at first. I have many restrictions and would love to find new recipes. I liked that they had filters for these dietary restrictions. Upon my first try, I put in gluten free, grain free, vegetarian and sugar free, my first results were sweet wheat pastries, wheat pasta and a bunch of meat filled meals. It basically showed me everything I couldn't eat..RobbieMotoVersion: 3.5.3

✓ I was very excited to find this app, but it’s a massive let down.I always struggle with what to cook for dinner so finally finding a recipe app that was enjoyable to navigate, listed calories, and had recipes laid out in an easy-to-follow manner was a huge win for me. Unfortunately, after spending hours perusing the app and saving/bookmarking recipes I wanted to try, I found out that half of them didn’t save correctly (even if there was a pop-up clearly stating SAVED) or disappeared from the lists I had saved them to. This was a big waste of time for me and shows that the developers clearly don’t value your time. I’ll be deleting the app once I finish this review, and won’t recommend it to anyone..Kimbelina1989Version: 5.10.0

✓ Still giving this app a try.Is this an exclusive Walmart app? FAQ gives “some” direction how to change your grocery store options but not seeing that when I’m using the app. Must have to upgrade the app, not sure. Also you can’t copy/paste or print recipe? Emailed support and got a generic response that included FAQ..PassTheRedVersion: 5.20

✓ Difficult to useThought this app and it’s features was difficult to use. The layout made it tough to choose recipes and then added them to a cookbook was near impossible. I’m not patient enough to learn this. Just going to handwrite our plans instead. Also, the recipes shared were not relevant to what my interests were. Nor did they look appetizing..JazhdhejdVersion: 3.6.9

✓ I don't shop WalmartIf it was totally necessary to have grocery lists then give me a grocery LIST and not order now from Walmart. I would like to be able to turn that feature off! So glad this was a free year subscription from a purchase as i will probably delete it ..Cw_evVersion: 5.10.0

✓ Instructions clear but images repeatFirst off lots of great recipes and very clean design on the app. Love it save for the images in the step by step instructions. Most of the time an image from the previous instruction will display for the current one. For example, one step may be to slice some mushrooms and it’ll show an image of slicing mushrooms. The next instructions would say slide an avocado or pull the husk off an ear of corn and it’ll still show that slicing mushroom picture. Must be something wrong with your image cacheing or the table not updating properly. If it were fixed I’d for sure give this five stars as I’ve found some great recipes on SideChef.ThebutterymuffinVersion: 3.6.2

✓ Must really hate usSince the company won’t tell us if BudgetBytes has been bought out or rebranded or whatever, let me just point out that all the recipes that I loved from that app are nowhere in this one. The app and blog are identical except these new versions have worse recipes with worse pictures and more ads and premium features and money grabs. Just another stupid company more interested in money than providing a solid experience..ScottNewton09Version: 5.21

✓ No respect for your privacyI contacted sidechef multiple times through email and their website to ask for my account to be deleted, but it’s like shouting to a brick wall. They haven’t responded once. Do not sign up with this company unless you’re fine with them having your data forever. I should have known better..CygoreVersion: 5.1.2

✓ No starsCan't even get past first screen app doesn't fit screen on iPad Air rubbish.Crusty-chrisVersion: 1.4.0

✓ Great concept, but super glitchyI really like the app concept, but it constantly crashes when I'm using it. Also, it's really annoying to search through apps because you can't search using more than one filter.J_z_sVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Terrible search functionThere are good recipes on the app, but when adding filters, instead of narrowing the thousands of results, it expands them. So, the app isn't great unless you know what recipe you want. Also, the suggestions are always complicated recipes with ingredients I don’t usually have in the house. I miss Budget Bytes. They had recipes I wanted to / could readily make and good suggestions..D0123456789Version: 5.25.1

✓ I’m disappointedThis app looked amazing and it worked well at first. However every minute or so it would crash I couldn’t even look at the recipes. I even deleted and installed again to no avail. It’s a shame I had such high hopes.Tempest1567Version: 5.1.2

✓ Doesn’t have much function to limit based on allergyI set it to no dairy and low carb. First recipe is a cheesy buffalo wings and nearby is a recipe for Coca Cola ribs. On top of not limiting based on my set preferences, it doesn’t have near the limit/filtering function necessary to be useful and differentiate from other apps. Like ginger - I need to remove that, but I could easily substitute for something else in most recipes. So at the database level, each ingredient almost needs to have a field for “substitutable” so it doesn’t so drastically limit the number of recipes. While this may be a niche, it would be an excellent functional addition to an app with regular recipe and shopping function..Justinr9999Version: 3.10.1

✓ Paying for disappointment.I originally paid for this app while it was BudgetBytes. It then changed to SideChef and now charges for a premium membership. I didn’t pay for an app once to be asked to pay again..RRCcolaVersion: 5.27.1

✓ Not workingUnable to update recipes 🤷🏻‍♀️ don’t save any changes in the app or via browser. I like the app apart from this problem. I have to delete recipes and add again to be able yo change..ААZVersion: 5.28.0

✓ RecipeCannot get a recipe back up as I only saved ingredients. I tried to get it combining most of the ingredients and nothing is showing up. Any suggestions?.Ro.paVersion: 3.7.4

✓ False promisesI tried out this app when they had it for $100 visa gift card in December 2021. I waited the full 15 days as stated when it should arrive. Well to my surprise if did not and the customer service is just an automated message saying someone will respond in 2 business days. It’s been many business days and me emailing them several times. Do not fall for this company’s so called promotion try out their app. It is overall an ok app but Pinterest is also an app you can use to look up recipes and is won’t crash on you. Basically they wanted my information and for me to do a survey so they could use that information than ghost you. Horrible company. Stay away from them and do not fall for their promotions.Mariko93Version: 5.13.0
