I really dislike the subscription model of either a full year's license up front or a 30 day trial. There is no monthly fee. I bet more people would be giving them money if there was one. Unfortunately you have to have enough in your Google account to pay to access the trial. I had a more informative version on my phone that I liked very much, but my phone was wiped while trying to fix a problem. If all I wanted was the pictures and the names the current free version would be enough.

I found the website today and was thrilled to see there was a mobile app. Then I discovered there was a $25/yr subscription to use the app?! The same info already exists for free on the website, so it being "research and photography" costs is BS. And we know the "technology" for mobile apps is NOT expensive enough to require that kind of price. You may have a 30 day free trial, but we already know it's not worth a $25/yr convenience fee just so you can pocket some cash.

Our free version offers: over 15,000 recipes that you can organize into a personal cookbook as well as our Share Market that gives you an up to the minute in season list of fresh produce and hard to find fruits & vegetables. We also offer more than 2,700 articles on the mobile web. Thank you for your valuable feedback

Ruined it for consumers. App used to be perfect when shopping to answer "what is this new fruit" questions. With it, I've discovered new favorite apples, etc. Worked offline (e.g. in stores with poor signal). Now, it requires an expensive subscription. There are also links to a free but limited and non-mobile-optimized website. No thanks.

Due to the high cost of research, writing, photography, and technology, we have decided to ask for $2.00/mo, a small subscription fee from our users equal to less than a drink at a coffee house. We know some will not use the App enough to warrant subscription ownership, so we make our content available on the mobile web for free. Thank you
