I’ve had this app for years now and it is the first place I go for recipes and to learn. Seriously. An app minimalist - I store only 5 apps on front page of my phone, not App Library. This is there with weather, calendar, to do, camera ... it’s essential to me.First, it’s beautiful. Even the choice of music to accompany the videos. (Love that no one’s talking. Thank you so much for that.) Features and layouts just make sense. Very user friendly but also feature-rich. There’s a lot here: recipes, collections, beautiful how-to videos, calm, knowledgeable hosts, user comments, photos, make your own shopping lists & ‘cookbook’ collections, great newsletter front page. Also, the tech works. In years, I’ve never had a problem loading pages, videos or features quickly.And the recipes are yummy, serving a variety of eaters from vegan to meat lovers. Some are simple, some are complex, hearty or elegant, basic or special occasion, it’s all here. Other users are generous with feedback, ideas, and pictures. Most of the time, the recipes are a great success. On the rare occasion it’s not, for me, it’s usually due to taste, not that a recipe doesn’t work. Finally, it’s not junked up. So many food blogs, sites, and apps are so full of other things (advertising, equipment reviews, etc.) that it’s hard to just see and live in the recipe/dish. This is not like that at all and I’m so grateful. Thank you designers, techs, chefs, everyone! You’ve done a great job and this is one of my favorite apps. I look forward to using it every day. ❤️

Hello everyone who can see this. This is my absolute first time I’ve been inside this much organized processing of a cookbook. I only shared a #4 because I certainly haven’t learned anything yet, just came in and read the edges to see what the excitement is all about. I finally opened it and my mind is blown. Is this something a simple minded, HS level educations person can jump into both feet first or shall we go in toes first and get out quickly? What is, THE STORY, about this app? It appears free from all I’ve initially read which is minimal. Is this like a game where you learn as you go and the reward is by doing your best and learning to build on the simplistic or is there a secret you figure out on your way to your first step, then completion of your first successful recipe? I guess it might be, I’m writing about something I’m not knowledgeable enough about, at that in itself, difficult. I guess part of learning is by making mistakes and laughing at yourself. So could you please just bounce off a few thoughts to get someone interested to get started and make it more clear, what’s in this for you, as someone who obviously loves to cook and share vs. someone whose tired of the same ole same ole that would like to learn more about making less taste better and actually provide a healthier, more filling morsel, snack, meal, buffet.

This is generally a great app but then Kitchen Stories food editors really need to work on how to write recipe instructions. There will be equipment listed, such as a blender, and then no information about its use. Ingredients are randomly listed in both the ingredients lists and directions. One has to guess when they’re to be used and, if they have a divided use, it becomes even more confusing. I’m an experienced cook but this app seems oriented to young people out on their own for the first time, who are looking to learn how to cook interesting recipes but who don’t have a lot of practice, so it’s pretty confusing for them. I recognize that there is a translation issue with some recipes but that doesn’t explain the lack of information or the scrambled order of instruction. I like the recipes best that come with people doing full videos, the Szechuan Dumpling recipe is amazing, as was the Chicken Tikka Masala. So the recipes are quite good but need better editing.
