Comments on SideChef: Recipes & Meal Plans for Android

★★★★☆ Isabel Mostert · Jan 15, 2025

Love this app the resipies are good and instructions are clear. It's a very aesthetic and organize app which I appreciate and users can comment and rete resipies. And it doesn't block you from the good resipies if you don't pay for premium, so you can actually use the app and not get stoped by a pay wall

★★★★★ Yumeko Jabami · Nov 12, 2024

This app is great like super great. Yes, the community can contribute recipes but the option of suggesting recipe depending on your pantry, your preferences is amazing. Can I suggest making an alternative if an ingredient isn't available? Like hoisin sauce to oyster sauce etc

★★★★☆ Vanessa · Oct 10, 2024

I love this app for its recommendations on food and the ability to find low cost meals per serving. Price checking with local Walmart's is an added benefit. I would have given Side Chef 5 stars with the pantry sync and ability to find recipes based on ingredients you currently have. However, I have run into one bug so far and that is the meal planning not loading at all. Adding name brand items to your pantry can be a pain but all that matters truly is that you know they are there.

★★★★★ Head Butting · Sep 13, 2025

The violent and crazy people in apartment 22 do everything for attention. The violent and crazy people in apartment 22 do everything on purpose. The violent and crazy people in apartment 22 do everything that is unnecessary. The violent and crazy people in apartment 22 slam doors.

★★☆☆☆ Howard Haney · Feb 26, 2025

Just downloaded the app and I enjoy the interface. The problem I'm facing is related to the zip code. I put in my zip code, which is on the Atlantic side of Florida, but the app has put a completely different zip in Tampa -- 3 hours away from me. I'm not seeing any way to go in and correct it, which is why I can only give it 2 stars. If someone can help me correct this ID honestly give it a 5 out of 5

★☆☆☆☆ Grady Belitz · Apr 12, 2026

They added a subscription feature. Also kinda stupid when you think about it. I just activated my free trial, took a bunch of screenshots and canceled it. Now when I need more I just start a free trial with a different email😂😂

★★☆☆☆ Kasia Zubrzycki · Dec 7, 2025

Meal planner calendar won't load so that I can add to grocery list.

★☆☆☆☆ Tamy D · Feb 5, 2026

Thought it might help with finding new recipes. First 5 suggestions ALL had recipes with the foods that I listed to avoid. Seriously?!?!
