The recipes are great, but the meal plan is very annoying. You try to organize the recipes for each day, change the dates or even delete them and nothing happens. You can try as many times as you want, restarting the app, still nothing works. It's a pitty because I do like to get the week set up, and with the ingredients list is very helpful to buy just what I need and reduce waste ... but the user interface for the meal plan is just not working as expected

Ahoi Tatiana! 😊 Thanks for your honest feedback – we’re really glad you enjoy the recipes and the planning idea behind it! šŸ’š Sorry to hear the meal planner isn’t working as expected for you. That definitely shouldn’t happen. Could you send us more details at feedback@kptncook.com so we can take a closer look? šŸ™Œ Warm wishes, your KptnCook Crewāš“ļø

I have found a few really delicious recipes through this app that have become part of our family rƩpertoire. A lot of the dishes look great and fresh. However, I wish the company wouldn't promote unhealthy foods and drinks such as energy drinks as recipe ingredients. I also wish there was a larger selection of healthy meals that are heavy (50% of a plate) on vegetables. Most of the recipes seem very heavy on potatoes/pasta/rice, with veggies only as a side (max 30% of a meal).

Everything except the 3 daily meals is hidden behind a paywall. Meaning if you dont want to pay, it would be a painstaking process of slowly adding 3 recipes per day to your favourites until you have a decent list. I did the free trial just to see what premium was like. The "exclusion list" of "things I wont eat" is very small, I couldn't even add quinoa to my exclusions. So, not "fully customizable" like they claim. Also, you cannot add your own recipes. All in all, it falls short.

Ahoy and thanks for your feedback! 😊 Many users love our "less is more" approach and build their digital cookbook over time, but we understand it’s not for everyone.✨Access to all 4,000+ expert-tested recipes is part of the subscription. šŸ„•You can add quinoa as an exclusion in your profile. Let us know at feedback@kptncook.com if it doesn’t work!

What’s new

Ahoy Captain! šŸ‘‹ Thanks for cooking with us! šŸŽƒ Fall is slowly making its way into the galley, bringing plenty of seasonal recipes for cozy cooking.

Our Fridge Finds feature got a little upgrade: You can now see how many of your selected ingredients are used in each recipe. So you can find the best matches faster and save more food from going to waste. šŸ„•

We’ve also made some improvements below deck. Got feedback? Send it our way at feedback@kptncook.com āš“ļø
