Comments on SideChef: Recipes & Meal Plans for Android

★★★★☆ Kay · Oct 8, 2026
There are some improvements this app could make, but it's a good digital tool for recipe development, storage, and organization. One big improvement I'd love to see is when I'm creating a new recipe, I would love to be able to move the ingredients around while editing (to avoid deleting a whole list of entries to add an ingredient in chronological order). I need to use the app more to familiarize myself but this would hugely help quality of life
★★★★☆ 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
★★★★☆ Alyssa Mounkes · Sep 5, 2025
I enjoy their variety of recipes that give videos and explanations on how to. Make, they divide them into a variety categories, can look up based on ingredients and save recipes. Also can order online-quick add to cart all ingredients to a recipe.
★★★★★ 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.
★★★★★ Ryan Silveira · Feb 10, 2025
Side Chef is my go-to app for Meals. Easy to navigate, search for recipes, great step-by-step recipes, and can be used for meal planning.
★☆☆☆☆ E e (EM) · Aug 4, 2026
You guys want a subscription to get a recipe that's behind a paywall ? Every recipe is already on the Internet for free. Also I said I didn't want to use beets or avocados, and it suggested several recipes with both of those ingredients. If I need somebody to ask me what I want and ignore my answer I'll talk to my family. I don't need an app for that
★☆☆☆☆ 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😂😂
★★☆☆☆ 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
