What ReciMe users are saying

ReciMe charges more than YoHugo — here's what its own users make of that. Real complaints from public app store reviews.

“Great app but basically useless after a handful of free imports — the subscription is steep.”

App Store ↗ 2025

“The cost is stupid for a cookbook app. At best this is a $5 app.”

App Store ↗ 2025

“I'm a heavy Pinterest user and it didn't import a single recipe successfully.”

JustUseApp ↗

“Charged after cancelling in the trial, locked out of my account, support silent for over a week.”

Google Play ↗ 2025

“Nowhere does it state the import cap — I hit the paywall after five or six saves.”

JustUseApp ↗

“The import misses off ingredients and instructions. I went back to my old list app.”

Google Play ↗ 2025

“After paying for the year, all my recipes were gone — treated like a brand new member.”

JustUseApp ↗ 2025

“Why is “$119 a year” discounted to $49? It should be about $25 a year.”

App Store ↗ 2025

“My recipe reviews no longer save. Big problem! It used to work.”

Google Play ↗ 2025

“Cancelled my subscription but the refund still has not arrived.”

Apple Community ↗
