KptnCook Meal Plans & Recipes Examine App

Only one meal a day and no use of leftovers

The app is unorganized . It’s difficult / confusing to use . The recipes are also not that good . I forgot to cancel after 7 days .

This app is one of my favorite apps when it comes to introducing easy to make recipes from mostly scratch ingredients. The photography makes this cooking app feel like a visual treat when you are looking at what you can learn to create next. Here is what I love about the app: 1. Limits the recipes you see per day and week so you don’t spend too much time scrolling through the recipes just to feel overwhelmed. 2. The photography is beautiful and captivating. 3. The recipes are easy and mostly from scratch. Easy enough for a beginner and complex enough to keep a home expert fresh on technique and beautiful recipes. 4. The ability to automatically calculate the amount of ingredients needed within the app makes grocery shopping way easier. 5. Gathering your favorite recipes is easy to make into a weekly plan as well! I highly recommend this app to anyone but especially to those who want to improve their cooking skills or to add beautiful meals to their cooking library.

Had issues trying to unsubscribe. No obvious cancel button after following app’s provided instructions on how to cancel. Frustrating . . .

It crashes a lot i am creating a account and at the last step i am clicking to finish my account then it wont load. Just need more fixing.

This is the best cooking app ever!

Kaptain Cook has inspired our evening meals! The meals are easy enough for week day yet gourmet enough for company. The step by step visual prep is perfect for my husband. I love the variety. So easy for meal planning. KC has made my life easier - seriously. Sometimes it’s difficult to find the exact recipe I’m looking for via the filter but it seems they are improving that aspect and it helps to save into ‘want to cook.’

Just saw this app on IG, where it says it’s free only to find out most of the recipes are locked. Very disappointing. I’ll be deleting this app.

I cannot use the app for over a year now. The app crashes when opening… I update the app when ever an update is available and still the issue is not fixed. I recently got a new iPhone 14 Pro and still the problem exists. Maybe it’s an account issue? Please resolve this so I can use the app.

Being an aristocratic from San Francisco, CA - I’ve had the opportunity to indulge on some the finest foods the US has to offer. Now while I may have a strong pallet for exquisite cuisine, my cooking skills are unfortunately quite the opposite. Ironic, I know… And this is where KptnCook comes into play. Not only have I found some of my favorite recipes (5 ingredient noodle stir fry & my favorite “healthy” snack cinnamon butter maple pecan popcorn) I’ve also improved my cooking skills by 10 points, I’ve always been ashamed to say I UberEats my food, or I get take out when I have company over. Now I can surprise my guests with delicious home cooked food, and the best part is they think I’m the master mind behind it. Thanks KptnCook! - Alex

Expensive for meal planning you can get for free and will take your last cent

I really wanted to like this app; it’s beautiful and easy to use. However, the app really, really wants you to just choose a meal plan that it made based on your criteria instead of letting you choose from a list recipes. Plus, the recipes that you can find tend to be very…fancy. I don’t know about you, but I don’t tend to have pumpernickel bread, fancy cheeses, or German beer laying around just to make a single meal. If they add more simple recipes and let you actually see them all without having to choose a meal plan, I’ll be back.

Very buggy

Downloaded the app. Will only allow one to look at about 3-4 recipes. Tried to create an account. It wouldn’t let me sign. Claimed my sign-in was wrong even though I used the sign-in I created minutes earlier. I didn’t opt for the Meal Planner. Perhaps that’s why it refused to recognize my sign-in? I’ll be deleting the app.

I love how we can put in our preferences and the app automatically ignores recipes with things we don’t like. I also really appreciate the ad ingredients to shopping list option, it makes it a lot easier to make a list and see what I still need. This app is amazing!!! I subscribed to the meal plan and I have NO REGRETS. My LIFE IS REVOLUTIONIZED. I’m not kidding. For one thing you can test it for a week! It has made me feel a lot healthier all with tasty recipes. I definitely recommend this app to anyone who needs that push towards a healthier lifestyle.

Very detailed with everything and delicious recipes such a great app!

it would be perfect if there was a way to search for specific recipes. I went to start adding ingredients to my Instacart order & when I toggled back to your app it had lost the recipe & I couldn’t find it again. Bummed

What a fantastic application, it help me to follow my healthy life style!

I would rate this app with 5 stars but it has a couple annoying flaws. First, the extremely useful “I don’t eat” feature doesn’t actually work. Despite adding a few ingredients to that list in my profile, the daily recipes continue not just to include those ingredients, but to feature them as the main element to the recipe(s). It wouldn’t be a problem except with only 3 recipes offered per day, it becomes problematic when 2 of them regularly include an unwanted ingredient. Second, the app doesn’t seem to sync completely between devices even though I use the same login. For example, on my iPad it shows all 5 of the recipe collections I’ve made but on my phone it only shows 3, and the chosen meal plan doesn’t show up on both devices either. That said, I absolutely love the simplicity of the app (the parts that work) and the recipe layouts and photos. It’s really great that there is a portion calculator which automatically changes the ingredient quantities to match the number of portions wanted. I also really enjoy the variety of recipes offered. Although my husband and I are omnivores, I like being able to plan out the week with a majority of vegetarian dishes so I can limit our meat consumption.

You can not choose recipes that you want they give u 3 that are vegan. I hate vegan. I have allergies to these recipes and I checked it off in the beginning of the application. Poorly written and designed

This app has some nice recipes.

I want a planner that can plan breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It only shows me 1 meal per day. Also, it only shows me 5 recipes. I can’t search for more?

Fantastic Site! I love the way all of the recipes are organized, especially within the meal plan options which include beautiful pictures of every meal. This feature just makes the recipes so very easy to choose from! In addition, the meal plan options are simple with really ingenious categories. There are just handful to choose from, so it’s an easy choice to make, but somehow there is a meal plan for almost anyone’s taste and dietary preference. It’s just so easy to navigate the site; and so beautifully designed! I love the fact that I can quickly pick a meal and add only the ingredients I need for that meal to my grocery list! Now i have all of my meals, with pictures included, organized and easily found so I no longer have to worry about meal planning whatsoever! All of the hard work is taken care of and I could choose a new meal to prepare every single day. No more getting stuck making the same meals over and over again! Thank you for this fantastic app! Truly brilliant!

The app is amazing and the recipes are great and easy to follow.

The app keeps giving me the tutorial over and over again. I wish there was an option to filter out the vegetarian recipes, at least those that require eggs. Edit: Hi Sarah! Maybe next time you respond to a review you should actually read it since you told me to do exactly what I complained about :P

Namely fiber and sugar content to track net carbs.

have cooked a lot of these recipes and have loved almost all of them!

I started using it to learn more vegetarian and vegan recipes. It takes a long time for them to repeat any and nearly all of them are a big win! You can save them and look at them later, and otherwise you just let them pass by. They are easy to follow and the times they give it pretty close to how long it takes me to make them.

I check it daily. Love the variety of healthy food.

Fantastic app!

Everytime I look at my shopping list the country of residence changes. Which in turn changes all the weights to oz. This is super frustrating when I live in a country that measures by grams. Besides this bug this app give me so much happiness everyday seeing what recipes they have. It’s like opening a daily present. Keep you the wonderful work

This app is great ! Love the awesome free three recipes a day and having the choice of vegan or vegetarian is so so nice! Thank you! No other app like this is out there. And this app is definitely worth to have. Thank you for delicious recipes and keep up the awesome work you’re all doing! Most appreciated more then you know!

Saw this app on an iPad in a store and thought it might be worth it. I registered and checked the eat anything in the settings and I still get mostly vegetarian recipes. Very disappointed.

Enjoying the recipes provided only a few at a time (per day) personalized to my diet preference. Love that I can save ones I’m interested in for when I’m ready to cook. The format makes it super easy to follow along and the recipes seem very doable for the most part.

Love the simple but delicious The „only“ 3 a day Option work great for us

I highly appreciate this app. I only use vegetarian recipes and the variety is amazing. I even learned to love vegetables I never ate before.

Great app. Amazing recipes. Comparatively, very direct and easy to use. Only issue is closing out of the recipe when you switch apps.

Love the diversity of options and price

I love the recipes: they are simple enough to create without having to buy a ton of ingredients, but unique enough to feel fancy and fresh! No complaints other than there aren’t enough nights to try all the recipes!

KptnCook ist meine liebste App, bin schon lange dabei und nutze die Koch-Inspirationen wirklich sehr oft! Die Rezepte sind meist super lecker und es ist für jeden Geschmack was dabei. Leider hat sich bei den letzten zwei Updates ein Bug eingeschlichen, der bewirkt dass ich jedes Mal, nachdem ich die App geschlossen hatte und neu öffne, den ganzen “Willkommensdialog” nochmal durchlaufen muss. Das ist ziemlich nervig...hatte gehofft dass es nach dem letzten Update weg ist, aber scheint nicht so. Vielleicht klappt es ja beim nächsten ;) Ansonsten - ein enthusiastisches “weiter so” an das ganze KptnCook-Team, ihr seid toll!!

Great recipes

I love this app all the plates I have made so far are delicious

But will not load anymore after the latest update last week

Incredibly handy if you want to avoid repetitive dinners and always offers a great variety

Best idea ever. Sharing with all my friends thank you.

Incredible. Use it pretty much everything. Super well done. Great, accessible recipes.

Great recipe and resource for quick dinner ideas with lots of variety.

Very uselful app for daily recipes that are healthy and easy to do without breaking the budget

Easy, beautiful, time saving.
