HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (1510 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Bugs, things not working8%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I have tried all that and still not working.
★★★★★ I installed the app to subscribe yearly, but canceled it because too many glitches and every recipe is chicken thighs or pork chops.
★★★★★ My husband downloaded the app, filled out the whole thing, shopped for ingredients (inaccurate pricing) and made 2 meals. Then I tried to join the household with him. We tried 3 times, but it ended up deleting the work…
Login and account problems8%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It blocks all results after entering all your information, unless you sign up for the paid plan.
★★★★★ The app doesn't account for cooking for a certain number of people and having the same meal multiple days.
★★★★★ Nowhere does it say how much things cost to view your shopping list and recipes but if you sign up for the “free trial” you're instantly charged.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • So while it's a great idea in theory, one of the apps where you can actually add the items in your pantry and/or actually cook with, and then create recipes from them are probably more practical in the long run. 3★, Oct 10, 2026
  • I need an option to either add those ingredients to my list, or even better a way to build my own recipes and save them. 3★, Oct 8, 2026
  • I wish they had a low sodium , and no sugar option as well. 4★, Oct 7, 2026
  • This is a great app, we just need an option for low sodium, and no sugar or no sugar substitutes. 4★, Oct 7, 2026
  • So I think it's a good app but needs more 3★, Sep 28, 2026
  • Love this app but it needs more recipes in its database. 4★, Sep 25, 2026
  • It would be great if you could enter recipes in yourself or upload from other places as well as pick from the preselected list. 4★, Sep 25, 2026
  • I have recipes that I use as a constant rotation and if it could coordinate that into the options without me just omitting a day that would be great. 3★, Sep 23, 2026

Game changer!

This is my first ever rating of an app on the App Store! I am not a good cook, and I have never really enjoyed cooking. I’ve tried so many ways to get into cooking more whole food meals while also being conscious of what we spend on groceries. This is the first time I’ve felt like I found a real solution! I can’t believe how easy this app is from start to finish. The recipes and meals we’ve had so far have been delicious and pretty easy and straightforward. I’m so excited to continue discovering new foods and cooking regularly! The yearly subscription cost is well worth it in my opinion.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026
Scam!

Offers a 7 day free trial. Charges your credit card on the 4th day of the free trial! I’m not doing business with ANY COMPANY that operates in this manner. What’s worse is Apple and the Developer will not refund money. STAY AWAY!

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
No free tier

It blocks all results after entering all your information, unless you sign up for the paid plan.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Hard to navigate after plan creates

It is difficult to navigate back to menus after a plan for the week is created. Also, it recommends portions of items, for instance 1 pepper at Aldi, and prices that, not the cost of the 3 pepper package that Aldi sells.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026

Store description

1. Enter your ZIP and pick the grocery store you actually shop at 2. Tell us how many you're feeding, which nights you cook, and what you want to spend 3. Get a week of dinners and one grocery list, totalled at your store TapCook plans your dinners for the week and tells you what the groceries will cost before you leave the house. Instead of deciding at 6pm, scrolling for ideas, and finding out the damage at the register, TapCook builds the week and the shopping list together — and keeps the total under the budget you set. Tick off the staples already in your cupboard and they come off the bill, this week and every week after. Don't like a dinner? Swap it and the list updates. TapCook is currently available for US grocery stores only. TapCook subscriptions are $9.99/month, or $29.99/year with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. *Grocery Prices in TapCook are estimates, not live prices from any retailer. They start from a national reference price for each ingredient and are adjusted for the chain and region you choose. Real prices change often and vary by branch, so your checkout total will differ. TapCook is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any grocery store, and store names are used only to show which one a plan was priced against. *Always review ingredients, measurements, cooking instructions, food-safety guidance, and allergy information before cooking. Dietary and "won't eat" settings are a convenience, not an allergen control. Have an idea, question, or issue?
