I've been using sidechef for years now and while running into the occasional issue it was never unusable. However the past few weeks the recipes no longer save into the grocery list which causes a lot of back and forth through individual recipes to figure out what I need. I've tried to delete and reinstall the app with no success. I'm hoping this can get fixed soon!

Great app! I really enjoy how it's very easy to navigate through the categories and how the UI is very nice to look at. The recipes it offers and displays are really good, too, and definitely recommend to those who are looking to start cooking simple and delicious recipes.

I quite like it but when I find a recipe online that's not on the app, it's annoying I have to completely manually add it myself. It would be so much better to let us either import it or add it as a title and link.
